History Manga / PleaseTellMeGalkoChan

** [[spoiler:Galko's sister finds out the hard way that being lascivious doesn't work on a man that truly likes her in a fundamental level as Otako's brother does, is not a good idea. Considering that he's a virgin, suggesting sex on the ''first date'' only served to belittle their budding relationship]].

* VisualPun: A double one. After Galko first helps Kuseta at the pool by one-upping Tsunno, when they're in class, Tsunno is wearing a shoulderless blouse reading "[[BuxomIsBetter Big Boobs Become]]" (as she's envying Galko's assets while drinking milk to get a bigger busom), while Kuseta is wearing a shirt which reads "[[{{Netorare}} ntr]]" (as Galko "stole" him from Tsunno's taunts).

* InnocentInnuendo: In the personality test chapter, Galko answers that [[SincerityMode she'd take her time exploring the mall, enjoying herself; then once she reaches the third floor, she buys the thing she came for, has it wrapped up, and brings it home with utmost care]]. Charao and the others are [[StunnedSilence stunned by]] [[LuminescentBlush her answer]], to the point that they likely didn't tell her what the personality test was about.[[note]]It's a test that determines how someone behaves during sex.[[/note]]

--> --'''Ch. 17'''

* Bishounen: Charao. While worrying about her own, Galko notices that he takes very good care of his lips.

** Otako is shown to be OlderThanSheLooks, as she is a first-year high school student who appears to be a middle schooler. Considering that her best friend is Galko, comparisons are plenty. She also [[RunningGag regularly pokes fun at Galko's breasts]].
** Kohai, Charao's middle-school girlfriend, is a cute {{Meganekko}} who is still on the yet-to-develop bracket for her age, so she's understandably flat as a board. Since Charao tends to fantasize about Galko even when he's with her, the comparison is also made. Still, considering that the buxom lingerie sales lady [[EveryoneIsRelated is Kohai's sister]], Kohai herself is possibly bound to be buxom in the future.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Ojou's recital outfit is...stunning.
* TheAce: Ojou is said to be at the top of the class and aces many extra-curricular activities. On the other hand, she [[ShelteredAristocrat doesn't have as much social experience]].
* {{Acrofatic}}: Nikuko. Despite being overweight, she is well known for her fast, forceful advances on the girls' futsal team, which lends to her epithet "Sonic Meat".
* {{Adorkable}}:
** Galko is a huge movie buff, and a great part of her conversations with her friends consist of movies she's watched. She always tears up at happy endings besides, in movies and otherwise.
** This is one of the reasons Galko's sister takes a liking to Otako's brother. [[spoiler:They eventually become an item.]]

* AsleepInClass: We often see Galko like this, which initially leads many characters to assume she's "fooling around" at night. The truth is far more innocent: Galko keeps staying up late watching movies. She does try to counteract this through various methods, but the result is usually this happening anyway, or her showing up to class late.

* BigBeautifulWoman: Nikuko is overweight, but she's also one of the most athletic characters and she still gets plenty of attention from the boys.

** Bomuo in Chapter 20/Episode 8, who's appearance has bangs that hide his eyes. Then [[spoiler:he gets his bedhead hair styled by Galko, and Bomuo decides to stick with it because he likes it.]]

* {{Bookworm}}: Otako is more of this sort of {{otaku}}. Her knowledge of risque stuff is in part due to her habit of reading lots of books. She does read a lot of manga, but [[spoiler:the manga don't actually belong to her. She borrows them from her brother.]]

* CoatCape: Sport-o always wears his jacket this way.

* CuteLittleFangs: Galko has them. A skit in episode 9 discusses, InUniverse, how people outside of Japan dislike this trope; Galko hides her mouth for a while after noticing girls getting orthodontics in foreign movies. She later learns to not be ashamed of them.

* DitzyGenius: Ojou is labeled as a ditz, and the things Galko and Otako discuss tend to go over her head. However, she ''is'' at the top of the class and aces other extra-curricular and outside-school activities. She's even shown singing Indian songs fluently.

* DudeMagnet: Galko is very popular with her classmates, for various reasons.

* FashionableAsymmetry: Galko, one of the more fashionable members of the cast, has a bun on the left side of her head, and a side ponytail with a blue scrunchy on the right.
* TheFashionista: One of the few GyaruGirl traits that Galko actually plays straight.

* GyaruGirl: Galko, of course. She wears heavy makeup, paints her nails, styles her hair, and dyes it blonde. However, she downplays and subverts the stereotype because despite her name and appearance, she has ''zero'' experience with men, and gets easily embarrassed over her physique and what she says. Plus, instead of having a small group of fellow GyaruGirl friends, Galko hangs out with [[{{Otaku}} Ota]][[{{Bookworm}} ko]] and [[TheOjou Oj]][[DitzyGenius ou]], two people who are as far from Gyaru as you can get.
* HiddenBuxom: Okako is mentioned by Galko to also have large breasts. The reason why no one knows this before is because Okako slouches all the time, so it's hard to see.

* HugeSchoolgirl: Galko is taller than most of the other girls, including some of the guys. Okako is possibly ''taller'' than Galko is.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Galko has trouble saying "no" to people, so [[spoiler:during the cultural festival she spreads herself thin by making a bunch of promises to a number of people, and by trying to bite more than she can chew, she starts neglecting Otako and Ojou, with whom she promised to spend the festival with. She ends up declining to narrate the drama club's play in order to prioritize her friends, to whom she owes more loyalty than to people that who just ask her for help]].

* InsecureLoveInterest: Kouhai finds herself at odds with Charao's fascination with Galko, and arrives to very weird conclusions about it (see InsaneTrollLogic). She's right to be insecure because it's not until later that Charao realizes that [[spoiler:his love for Galko is [[TheFourLoves entirely platonic]], and that the girl he truly loves is Kouhai.]]

* KimonoIsTraditional: When the main trio goes to the mall in episode 6/Chapter 13, they were surprised to see Ojou wearing a kimono. The manga stated it's the first time she's gone out with friends, so she goes all the way into it. On the other hand, character bios indicate she follows a ''very'' traditional way of life (so traditional that, when she wears the kimono, she mentions that she's not wearing any underwear--which she doesn't mention until she's already ''trying on some clothes'').
* LargeHamAnnouncer: Overlapping with LemonyNarrator, Galko is a phenomenal narrator and reader, who can make reading even a ''textbook'' compelling and a joy to hear because of her hearty and expressive delivery. This is due to her mom, who used to ham it up whenever she read her stories as a child. Given the circumstance, her class would spend the whole day listening to her reading if they could. Later, during the Cultural Festival, she is invited by the drama club to narrate their plays, [[spoiler:but eventually declines because she promised to spend her free time with Otako and Ojou]].

* MentorArchetype: Galko is one for Kuseta, who harbors a profound admiration for her and her advice, as he recognizes that the few times they've met have served for him to become a considerably better person.

* NerdGlasses: Otako wears a pair of squarish red frames.
* NiceGirl:
** Galko is nearly impossible to anger, drops everything to help total strangers, and is friends with pretty much everyone she knows. The worst thing people can think to say about her personality is that she's rather nosy and overwhelming at times. There are instances where Galko gets flustered to the point of irritation, but she is an even-tempered person overall.
** Ojou is shown to be nice and [[TheIngenue naive to a fault]], to the point that her spouting things ThatCameOutWrong turns into a RunningGag. Her tendency to butt into conversations mid-way doesn't help.
** Nikuko is definitely this, as she never picks fights with people who see her as a rival, such as her futsal captain.
** Kohai is this, as she's shown to be an earnest and dutiful girlfriend to Charao, even when he's not paying attention.
* NightmareFetishist: Okako likes all things related to suspense, horror, and the occult (the last one being part of her nickname).

* NotAMorningPerson: Galko. One skit in an episode shows her energy gradually increases as the day goes on, and Otako directly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this trope. The trope is {{justified}} by Galko's bad habit of staying up late watching movies and the like. She tries to counteract this, but tends to fail in some way or another.

* {{Ojou}}: Ojou, of course.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Otako looks like an elementary schooler, if the lines spoken by actual elementary schoolers during [[BeachEpisode when she's at the pool]] are of any indication.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: Galko's sister is famous around their community because she's a famous gravure model, which results in her being compared to the latter. Her friendship with Otako is partly because Otako ''doesn't'' refer to her as someone's little sister.

* ReallyGetsAround:
** {{Subverted|trope}} with Galko. Initially, the entire class assumed she had loose morals. In reality, she has ''zero'' experience with men, even a nonsexual date.
** It's implied that Galko's sister is this...that is, [[spoiler:until she meets Otako's brother]].
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Ojou is ''very'' sheltered, and sometimes has difficulty grasping ideas that Galko and Otako discuss. A prime example occurs in Episode 6/Chapter 12, when the two were talking about lingerie shopping. Ojou chimes in, talking about how the lingerie tailor comes in to measure everyone for their custom lingerie... To the point that Galko found it necessary to take Ojou to the mall to learn how ''commoner women'' get their lingerie.

* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Because Galko is a voluptuous girl with a sense of fashion, people tend to think the worst of her. Every time she shows up late to school, everyone assumes it's because she was sleeping around, when the reason is far more mundane, such as staying up too late watching [=TV=].

* TerseTalker: Supoo rarely talks without getting to the point. This comes up in the personality test chapter, which indicates that Supoo considers the act of sex finished once he has release.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Otako has store-bought buns. So she's surprised when Galko goes through the trouble of cooking up some homemade versions of those buns.

* YouthfulFreckles: Otako has them, though they're not easy to see.

* LargeHamAnnouncer: Overlapping with LemonyNarrator, Galko is a phenomenal narrator and reader, who can make reading even a ''textbook'' compelling and a joy to hear because of her hearty and expressive delivery. This is due to her grandma, who used to ham it up whenever she read her stories as a child. Given the circumstance, her class would spend the whole day listening to her reading if they could. Later, during the Cultural Festival, she is invited by the drama club to narrate their plays, [[spoiler:but eventually declines because she promised to spend her free time with Otako and Ojou]].

* NoodleIncident: Galko encounters her sister's former teacher, Abe-sensei, who lists off a variety of "incidents" she was involved in. [[LampshadeHanging Galko then asks why they're all incidents.]]

A selection of skits from the first thirty chapters had been adapted into a series of 7-and-a-half-minute shorts for the Winter2016Anime season.

* TerseTalker: Supoo rarely talks without getting to the point.
** This comes up in the personality test chapter, which indicates that Supoo considers the act of sex finished once he has release.

* CutAndPasteComic: The volume extras usually have some pages drawn in monochrome where Galko and Otako discuss something in a café/restaurant setting, only to be joined by Ojou who is dressed as a maid. In those pages, they usually discuss movies and pop culture. The layout and characters in these pages are always the same, only changing the dialogue.

[[folder:Tropes A to D]]

* BlandNameProduct: In episodes 5 and 6, the "Bon"-branded mall is obviously a reference to [[http://www.aeon.info Aeon]], Japan's largest hypermarket chain and mall operator.

* HumanNotepad: Galko wrote her shopping list on her arm in Episode 8.

* INeedADrink: The barman and a bespectacled gentleman [[OhCrap are so shaken]] by [[spoiler:Otako's brother's tearful rejection of Galko's sister's sexual advances]] that once they leave, the barman goes around the bar and invites the gentleman to share some drinks.

* {{Irony}}: Iincho (the StudentCouncilPresident) assumes that Galko's never had to think hard about anything. Then she finds Galko reading a poster and taking an application form. It was for an essay about creating a world without war. Iincho realizes that she's never thought about that herself.

* KimonoIsTraditional: When the main trio goes to the mall in episode 6/Chapter 13, they were surprised to see Ojou wearing a kimono. The manga stated it's the first time she's gone out with friends, so she goes all the way into it. On the other hand, character bios indicate she follows a ''very'' traditional way of life (so traditional that, when she wears the kimono, she mentions that she's not wearing any underwear--which she doesn't mention until she's ''trying on some clothes'').

The trope is {{justified}} by Galko's habit of staying up late watching movies and the like. She tries to counteract this, but tends to fail in some way or another.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Otako has store-bought buns.

* TrueLoveIsExceptional: [[spoiler:Galko's sister (a sculptural gravure model), and Otako's brother (a nerdy, shy otaku) end up together against all odds, even though they weren't particularly expecting it, as she used to pursue more superficial men, and he wasn't exactly in the market for a girlfriend.]]

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Chapter 56 of the manga features Otako attempting to make herself an "anti-cold porridge", the result of which ends up coming back up all over her pajamas a page later.

''Please Tell Me! Galko-chan'' (In Japanese: ''おしえて！ギャル子ちゃん/ Oshiete! Galko-chan'') is a manga created by Ken'ya Suzuki. A selection of skits from the first thirty chapters had been adapted into a series of 7-and-a-half-minute shorts for the Winter2016Anime season. The manga is licensed in North America by Creator/SevenSeasEntertainment.

* NotSoStoic: Galko's sister finds her crying over while holding a small steel bolt after watching ''Film/TheIronGiant''. She admonishes Galko for making such a nonsensical fuss about it until she herself finds the movie and watches it while Galko goes to school. Galko arrives from school to find her sister grasping the same bolt and crying too.

** In the personality test chapter, Galko answers that [[SincerityMode she'd take her time exploring the mall, enjoying herself; then once she reaches the third floor, she buys the thing she came for, has it wrapped up, and brings it home with utmost care]]. Charao and the others are [[StunnedSilence stunned by]] [[LuminescentBlush her answer]], to the point that they likely didn't tell her what the personality test was about.[[note]]It's a test that determines how someone behaves during sex.[[/note]]

** Kohai, Charao's middle-school girlfriend, is a cute {{Meganekko}} who is still on the yet-to-develop bracket for her age, so she's understandably flat as a board. Since Charao tends to fantasize about Galko even when he's with her, the comparison is also made. Still, considering that the buxom lingerie sales lady is Kohai's sister, Kohai herself is possibly bound to be buxom in the future.

** Galko is a huge movie buff, and a great part of her conversations with her friends consist of movies she's watched.

* AsleepInClass: We often see Galko like this, which initially leads many characters to assume she's "fooling around" at night. The truth is far more innocent: Galko keeps staying up late watching movies.

* BigBeautifulWoman: Nikuko is overweight, but still gets plenty of attention from boys and is quite athletic.

* ChildhoodFriends: Galko and Charao have known each other almost since grade school and have shared classes ever since. He considers her a crucial part of his life and a true example to follow. In spite of his desire to pursue her, [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend he never summoned the courage]]. [[spoiler:Eventually, he realizes that his love for Galko is actually [[TheFourLoves platonic]].]]

* DelayedReaction: This is the point of episode nine's skit. Galko first talked about riding horses, then Otako warned that riding horses may break the hymen. Ojou then went on talking about her riding experience…only completely registering what Otako said in mid-sentence, quickly clarifying that she'd never bled from riding.

** {{Invoked}} and PlayedForLaughs in Volume 5. Otako is uneasy with the possibility of her friendship with Galko might change in the future. Galko mentions that her sister [[spoiler:got a new boyfriend]] while Otako mentions that her brother [[spoiler:has a new girlfriend himself]]. It's not until Galko shows her a picture of the couple that they realize that [[spoiler:their brother and sister and dating. Ojou then asks them jokingly whether they are sisters now, both responding "not yet!"]]

* {{Fetish}}: Galko's older sister's [[spoiler:ex-]]boyfriend has a school-uniform fetish. Galko was horrified when she learned that [[spoiler:her sister borrowed her school uniform to use during foreplay]].

** Nikuko's boobs are also at least comparable to Galko's, and her being fat has nothing to do with it. She was FormerlyFit and still had those boobs.

* GyaruGirl: Galko, of course. She wears heavy makeup, paints her nails, styles her hair, and dyes it blonde. However, she downplays the stereotype because despite her name and appearance, she has ''zero'' experience with men, and gets easily embarrassed over her physique and what she says. Plus, instead of having a small group of fellow GyaruGirl friends, Galko hangs out with [[{{Otaku}} Ota]][[{{Bookworm}} ko]] and [[TheOjou Oj]][[DitzyGenius ou]], two people who are as far from Gyaru as you can get.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: After an extended ImagineSpot in Chapter 24/Episode 10, Charao concludes that Galko already has a boyfriend. After spacing out for an entire date with Kohai, it eventually leads to him...[[MoodWhiplash asking Kohai for sex]].

* IllGirl: Both {{otaku}} characters are associated with this trope. Otako is a former example; her bookworm tendencies come from reading anything in her house out of boredom. Otao is a {{downplayed}} example; due to his anemia, he frequently visits the nurse's office.

* InsaneTrollLogic: PlayedForLaughs and combined with EntertaininglyWrong. Kohai sees Charao dressed as a girl during the school festival, and... ''somehow'' arrives to the conclusion that [[spoiler:he's now into assplay, so she buys a bunch of sex toys to try on his butt. He later goes back to the sex store with her to return them.]]

* KimonoIsTraditional: When the main trio goes to the mall in episode 6/Chapter 13, they were surprised to see Ojou wearing a kimono. The manga stated it's the first time she's gone out with friends, so she goes all the way into it. On the other hand, character bios indicate she follows a ''very'' traditional way of life (so traditional that, when she wears the kimono, she mentions that she's not wearing any underwear).
* LargeHamAnnouncer: Overlapping with LemonyNarrator, Galko is a phenomenal narrator and reader, who can make reading even a textbook compelling and a joy to hear because of her hearty and expressive delivery. This is due to her grandma, who used to ham it up whenever she read her stories as a child. Given the circumstance, her class would spend the whole day listening to her reading if they could. Later, during the Cultural Festival, she is invited by the drama club to narrate their plays, [[spoiler:but eventually declines because she promised to spend her free time with Otako and Ojou]].

* NoodleIncident: Galko encounters her sister's former teacher, Abesan, who lists off a variety of "incidents" she was involved in. [[LampshadeHanging Galko then asks why they're all incidents.]]

* NoPeriodsPeriod: {{Averted}}. Menstrual Cycles and the items associated with them are brought up frequently. In the OriginsEpisode, Otako started suffering from menstrual cramps in the school library during class. It's thanks to Galko's quick thinking that keeps Otako from being humiliated.

* NotAMorningPerson: Galko. One skit in an episode shows her energy gradually increases as the day goes on, and Otako directly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this trope. The trope is {{justified}} by Galko's habit of staying up late watching movies and the like.
* NotHelpingYourCase: In Chapter 9/Episode 5, after putting two and two together, Galko complained about her sister borrowing her school uniform for sexual purposes. Her sister assures that there aren't any body fluids on it, since she only wears it ''during kissing and foreplay, and it would be taken off once her boyfriend is aroused enough'' (this results in Galko covering her ears in embarassment, not wanting to hear any more of this). Galko finding a ''pubic'' hair on the uniform earlier in Episode 4 doesn't help.
* NotSoAboveItAll: [[spoiler:During their first date,]] Galko's sister finds herself surprised at the fact that she's thoroughly enjoying all the geeky stuff that Otako's brother is showing her, and has to put herself together.

** In the personality test chapter, Galko answers that [[SincerityMode she'd take her time exploring the mall, enjoying herself; then once she reaches the third floor, she buys the thing she came for, has it wrapped up, and brings it home with utmost care]]. Charao and the others are stunned by her answer, to the point that they likely didn't tell her what the personality test is about.[[note]]It's a test that determines how someone behaves during sex.[[/note]]

* TerseTalker: Sporto rarely talks without getting to the point.

** Otako is shown to be OlderThanSheLooks, as she is a 1st year high school student who appears to be a middle schooler. Considering that her best friend is Galko, comparisons are plenty.

** Kuseta's classmates Tsunno and Kibami are two elementary schoolers who tease him at the pool; they are wordlessly rebuked by the buxom Galko, who embraces Kuseta when they try to belittle him.

* CrazyPrepared: Episode 4 shows Galko having a solution to the problems that her classmates have. This being Galko, this doesn't include any condoms, because she doesn't intend to do that.

* InsaneTrollLogic: PlayedForLaughs and combined with EntertaininglyWrong. Kohai sees Charao dressed as a girl during the school festival, and...somehow arrives to the conclusion that [[spoiler:he's now into assplay, so she buys a bunch of sex toys to try on his butt. He later goes back to the sex store with her to return them.]]

* ObliviouslyBeautiful: Played with. Galko is more aware of her attractiveness than the trope suggests because she is a GyaruGirl, and she makes a considerable effort both grooming and keeping herself fit, but she tends not to notice boys ogling at her (as the trope suggests); however, what she doesn't quite grasp is how beautiful she is as a person on top of her physical beauty, which makes her even more attractive in turn.

* IllGirl: Both {{otaku}} characters are associated with this trope. Otako is a former example; her bookworm tendencies come from reading anything in her house out of boredom. Otao is a {{downplayed}} example; he frequently visits the nurse's office.

* AssShove: A skit in Episode 1 discusses this. Galko mentions that when she was in elementary school, a boy attempted to do this to her [[NoodleIncident and broke his finger in the process]]. [[spoiler:According to Chapter 20/Episode 8, that boy is Charao, something Galko used to blackmail him into borrowing some of his hair gel to style Bomb-o's bed head.]]

** Bomuo in Chapter 20/Episode 8, who's appearance has bangs that hide his eyes. Then [[spoiler:he gets his hair styled by Galko, and decides to stick with it because she likes it.]]
** Galko's sister has two licks of hair that were used in her initial appearances to obscure her eyes. [[spoiler:They later make a brief return after her first date with Otako's brother ends poorly, during which she tries to play it off before breaking down.]]
* {{Bookworm}}: Otako is more of this sort of {{otaku}}; she does read a lot of manga, but that's among others. Actually, [[spoiler:she doesn't own any manga of her own. Those are her brother's.]]
* BrokenTears: Combined with HeroicBSOD. [[spoiler:Galko's sister arrives uncharacteristically early from her first date with Otako's brother, having failed to lure him into losing his virginity with her. Though she tries to brush it off, she breaks down in tears from the dejection, as she's under the impression that she completely fucked up a beautiful, fulfilling relationship and chased him off, a person who had become utmost dear to her and who wanted a deep, loving relationship with her. However, some time later they meet at the temple again and after clearing some misunderstandings about the finality of their first date, become an item.]]

** Tsunno stops being a {{tsundere}} when, due to Galko's advice, Kuseta starts recognizing the girl's advances as affectionate efforts. [[spoiler:[[TheyDo Eventually, Tsunno and Kuseta start dating]]. In fact, when people remark about them on their first date, Tsunno understands how Kuseta must've felt when [[IHatePastMe she'd done the same thing]] in the [[BeachEpisode Pool Episode]], and feels ashamed of herself.]]

* DitzyGenius: Ojou is labeled as a ditz, and the things Galko and Otako discuss tend to go over her head. However, she ''is'' at the top of the class and aces other extra-curricular activities.

** {{Invoked}} and PlayedForLaughs in Volume 5. Otako is uneasy with the possibility of her friendship with Galko might change in the future. Galko mentions that her sister [[spoiler:got a new boyfriend]] while Otako mentions that her brother [[spoiler:has a new girlfriend himself]]. It's not until Galko shows her a picture of the couple that they realize that [[spoiler:their brother and sister and dating. Ojou then asks them jokingly whether they are sisters now, both responding "not yet"]].

** Tsunno stops being a {{tsundere}} when, due to Galko's advice, Kuseta starts recognizing the girl's advances as affectionate efforts. [[spoiler:[[TheyDo Eventually, Tsunno and Kuseta start dating.]]]]
** Charao [[spoiler:stops pining for Galko once he realizes that his love for her is platonic, and due to her example, he'll become a better boyfriend for his girlfriend Kouhai.]]
** Galko realizes that [[spoiler:she should set limits for how much she's willing to help other people, as she sees that she's neglecting her best friends as a result. There's only so much a single girl can do for others.]]

* ChildhoodFriends: Galko and Charao have known each other almost since grade school and have shared classes ever since. He considers her a crucial part of his life and a true example to follow. In spite of his desire to pursue her, [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend he never summoned the courage]].

* CompensatedDating: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Galko is often thought to be doing it, but she's actually clueless about sex. An example appears in episode 2, when Galko said "Papa" (in English) would pay her if she made bread. Unfortunately, "papa" is also the term for the "other side" in Compensated Dating, which causes a misunderstanding (The manga translation handled it well by translating it as "Daddy" and making it sound like she meant "sugar daddy"). Galko immediately notices the looks she's getting and starts to protest that she slipped and always just calls him "Father", clearing up the misunderstanding while apparently oblivious to it.

* CrazyPrepared: Galko in episode 4.

* CuteLittleFangs: Galko has them. A skit in episode 9 discusses, InUniverse, how people outside of Japan dislike this trope; Galko hides her mouth for a while after noticing girls getting orthodontics in foreign movies.

* DudeMagnet: Galko is very popular with her classmates.

** [[spoiler:Galko's sister almost fucks up her relationship with Otako's brother by bringing up sex during their ''first date'' and unwittingly belittling his virginity as a result, thinking that he, a nerdy {{Otaku}}, will unhesitatingly jump at the mere suggestion of making love with a beautiful lady. Frightened, he abandons their date, arguing that he doesn't want to be another virgin on her cherry-popping list because he likes her and wants to have a serious relationship with her. His response leaves Galko's sister stunned, to the point that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness it doesn't take Galko very long to realize how upset with herself she really is]].]]
** Charao reassures Kouhai that [[spoiler:even though he both admires and platonically loves Galko, it's only Kouhai that he truly loves romantically.]]

* FacelessMasses: {{Averted|trope}} for a SliceOfLife manga[=/=]anime. The main trio have approximately a dozen classmates, with all of them having names, distinctive character designs, and personalities. The anime follows up on this by giving at least one speaking line to each.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Galko, the more fashionable one of the cast, has a bun on the left side of her head, and a side ponytail with a blue scrunchy on the right.

* GenderFlip: Though they fulfill different stereotypes, Charao, Otao and Supoo function as a SpearCounterpart to the trio of Galko, Otako and Ojou respectively:

** Supoo is athletic and has a straightforward personality like Ojou.

* HiddenBuxom: Okako is mentioned by Galko to also have large breasts. The reason why no one notices is because Okako slouches all the time.

** We see in Chapter 96 that Kouhai has some surprisingly different ideas for sex, if the strapon and anal plugs in her bag are anything to go by. [[spoiler: The again, she might have them for her boyfriend [[MistakenForGay Charao]].]]
** The fact that Charao and Kouhai are still an item suggests that he's less superficial than he appears to be.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: After an extended ImagineSpot in Chapter 24/Episode 10, Charao concludes that Galko already has a boyfriend. After spacing out for an entire date with Kohai, it eventually leads to him... asking Kohai for sex.

* InsaneTrollLogic: PlayedForLaughs and combined with EntertaininglyWrong. Kohai sees Charao dressed as a girl during the school festival and arrives to the conclusion that [[spoiler:he's now into assplay, so she buys a bunch of sex toys to try on his butt.]]

* NoPeriodsPeriod: {{Averted}}. Menstrual Cycles and the items associated with them are brought up frequently. In one chapter, Otako started suffering from menstrual cramps in the library. It's thanks to Galko's quick thinking that keeps Otako from being humiliated.

* NotAMorningPerson: Galko. One skit in an episode shows her energy gradually increases as the day goes on, and Otako directly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this trope. {{Justified}} by Galko's habit of staying up late watching movies and the like.

** Tsunno stops being a {{tsundere}} when, due to Galko's advice, Kuseta starts recognizing the girl's advances as affectionate efforts. [[spoiler:[[TheyDo Eventually, Tsunno and Kuseta start dating.]]
