* AdultsAreUseless: Hina's middle school homeroom teacher during her character arc is the one adult character who embodies this trope. She's unable, or perhaps unwilling, to take the initiative and stop the bullying that's been going on in Hina's class, despite being aware that it has been going and being spoken about it directly.

* HeldGaze: Of the animosity-filled variety between Hina and Kyoko after the former gives Rei an entire boxed lunch to counteract the latter's verbal lashing at him. It isn't very effective and doesn't last long, however, mostly because of the stark difference between the two. Kyoko has at least a foot over Hina and is more physically mature, while Hina is a mere middle schooler in comparison. Hina's painfully aware of this and falters in her her attempted intimidation out of nervousness.
