* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil -- They take care of most school policies as the principal adheres to a "hands-off" policy on his interference.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys -- A minor female character is strongly attracted to Kitsune, practically drooling over the evil/treacherous aspects of his character.
* AloofBigBrother -- Gender-flipped; Torako is revealed to have an Aloof Big ''Sister'' who follows this trope in almost every way.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther -- Torako has some of this dynamic with her brother and sister.
* BeautifulAllAlong -- Torako actually manages to be cuter than Ayumi when she goes for it. Inori is a more typical example. After Torako remakes her, she turns out to be quite cute.

%%* BerserkButton -- Tatsuki does not like being ignored.
%%* BigEater -- Suzume.
%%* BishieSparkle -- Kageyama Oniyuri[[spoiler:'s legs]].
* BlankWhiteEyes -- Hitsugi, a lot, although it doesn't necessarily show her emotional state: at least once she's had Blank White Eyes while smiling cheerfully.

* BodyMotifs -- The Kageyama Siblings each have a single accessory adorning their left ear.
* BrandX -- Trickstar Coffee, Pockily snacks, and the T-Phone.
* BreakingTheFourthWall -- At the beginning of the Student Council Elections arc (see Serious Business below), Torako witnessed a vicious assault and wondered in shock "Is this really ''Hyakko''?"
* TheCharmer -- Ayumi has some of this, even though she doesn't quite realize it herself. Torako does realize it, and in episode six uses Ayumi as a sort of human cuteness shield to protect her from Tatsuki's anger.

* ClassRepresentative -- Nene. Torako is shocked that she doesn't have glasses like every other example of the trope.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}} -- Suzume, the quiet one of the group, who tends to speak very little. When she does, it's usually a little strange. Also, she turned up at the front gate in her gym clothes once, to the surprise of everyone (and the delight of Nene).

* CoolOldGuy -- The Principal, he lets the student council run the programs and wears a freaking general's uniform while overseeing the school-wide BB-gun battle competition.
* CustomUniform -- Despite Nene's attempts to check if everyone's in their uniform ([[HypocriticalHumor not that she is]]), several characters in the main cast wear the school uniform with at least ''some'' variation.

* DemotedToExtra -- Hitsugi is relegated to a far less important role in the anime, and never interacts with the main four at all, which mirrors the first few volumes of the manga as she wasn't promoted to the same grade yet, so there is still hope for her in the next season--if there ever is one.
* DirtyOldMan -- Nene certainly ''acts'' like one, although she's not nearly bad enough to qualify as a full-on DepravedBisexual.

* ElaborateUniversityHigh -- So elaborate that the entire ''first episode'' is spent wandering around it, trying to find a classroom. Its grounds house a complete elementary, middle, and high school with a total student population in the area of 3000, apparently.
* EroticEating -- Somehow, Ayumi invoked this trope for Torako. With noodles. Also, Torako with a chocolate-covered banana on a stick while at a festival, in chapter 29. The resulting {{Nosebleed}}s are particularly grand; Nene gushes blood, while Shishimaru passes out from blood loss. Nene immediately suggests they go for hot dogs later...

* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence -- Torako at one point uses [[spoiler:excessive violence against a teacher]] to prevent being caught after breaking a window.
* FormerTeenRebel -- Amagasa-sensei, who used to be known as "The Wolfblade".
* FourGirlEnsemble -- Early on, though it doesn't really hold up after a while. Tatsuki in particular drifts OutOfFocus as the story follows Torako's antics with anyone nearby.
* FriendlessBackground -- There are very strong indications that Tatsuki had no friends before highschool. Inori and ''Ayumi'', of all people, also had this. Well, Ayumi had one friend in middle school, but this was after her elementary friends decided to shun her because the boy one of them liked was interested in Ayumi instead. She never had any idea why her old "friends" suddenly abandoned her, and the rest of their class just unthinkingly followed suit.

* HotForTeacher -- Torako seems suspiciously glad to run into Amagasa-sensei during the Halloween festival. Shishimaru certainly thinks so.
** Seeing as the girl does so much as barge into his apartment in the summer to hang out, it certainly means something.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl -- A friendship example: Kumahiko and Torako, who both grew up in the same neighborhood and went through elementary and middle school together. A picture from middle school shows him as maybe half a head taller than Torako, and now he's a giant in comparison.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming -- A lot of the manga chapters, especially in the first half or so of the series, have something about tigers in their titles. Most are references to well-known aphorisms in Japan, but with random elements replaced with the word "tiger."
* JapaneseDelinquents -- Ushio, who is labeled as such more than she actually is (she apparently dyes her hair, modifies her uniform, and has skipped school a couple times, but that's literally the worst of it). She somewhat sarcastically started calling herself a delinquent after Torako started joking about it.

* OrphanedSeries -- Might as well be this, there hasn't been a new chapter of the manga since 2013 and Haruaki Katoh was focused working on ''Manga/AbnormalKeiJoshi'' for a while, but now ''that's'' been on hiatus since 2015.
* {{Ojou}} -- Tatsuki, except she doesn't give off the vibe.
* PaintingTheMedium -- One instance is Tatsuki's thought bubbles actually being narrated by Nene before Tatsuki tells her to stop.
* PlaceholderTitles -- During the original broadcast, it wasn't until episode nine that the opening finally had animation of its own.
* RealTrailerFakeMovie -- Episode six features an extended and epic preview for the next episode that resembles an action flick more than the slice of life school comedy the show actually is.

One would almost think the candidates involved were jockeying for control of a criminal organization, not a student council. It turns out a lot of the intrigue from at least one side comes from [[spoiler:the president effectively controlling who gets to be treasurer, who in turn has access to a rather sizable budget]].

* SimultaneousArcs -- The school festival arc follows a part of the core cast as they split up to various parts of the school.

Neither of them is very good at showing affection, either; Kitsune is kind of a trickster jerk and Oniyuri is just very cool and reserved.
