After failing miserably at their college entrance exams, Nanako and Akane find themselves ichiroh - first-year students at a local prep school. Hardworking Nanako is determined to buckle down and study in order to do better at her exams next year, but this quickly proves to be a real challenge, especially when she learns that their new dorm doubles as a shrine and they find themselves put to work as {{miko}}.

10	----
11	!!''Ichiroh!'' contains examples of:
12
13	* AnimalMotifs: Akane and cats. She's often seen wearing a PlayfulCatSmile and even her hair buns resemble cat ears.
14	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Shino, who's sweet and helpful to Nanako alone and can be downright vicious ao everyone else.
15	* BrilliantButLazy: Akane occasionally gets surprisingly good grades despite how little effort she puts in. Nanako is occasionally frustrated by this.
16	* TheCaretaker: Nanako is seen as this for Akane.
17	* ChildhoodFriend: Nanako has been friends with Akane since elementary school. Shino likes to claim this status as well despite only having known her since middle school.
18	* CompressedHair: Akane's hair is surprisingly long when let down.
19	* CoolBigSis: Mayura tries to be this. Anko occasionally falls into this category.
20	%%* CoolOldLady: Baa-san.
21	* CosplayCafe: Mai works in one. Nanako gets a part-time job there as well.
22	%%* CramSchool
23	%%* CuteLittleFangs: Akane.
24	%%* DaddysGirl: Wakaba.
25	%%* TheDitz: Akane.
26	* GamerChick: Akane, but also Anko and Baa-san who like to stay up late playing games with her.
27	%%* GenkiGirl: Akane.
28	* GenreSavvy: Akane, who frequently references what she would expect to happen in a manga. Also Anko and Baa-san, who intentionally try to lure {{Miko}}-loving {{Otaku}} to the shrine with various gimmicks.
29	* GirlishPigtails: Anko occasionally wears these in an effort to look young.
30	%%* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Mayura.
31	* IncestantAdmirer: Nanako's brother is blatantly in love with her, much to her disgust.
32	%%* {{Kawaiiko}}: Anko.
33	* {{Miko}}: They ''do'' work in a shrine, after all.
34	* {{Meido}}: The uniforms at Mai's job. Anko also briefly considers making the shrine maid-themed in order to attract more business.
35	%%* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Baa-san.
36	%%* TheOjou: Shino.
37	%%* OjouRinglets: Shino.
38	%%* OnlySaneMan: Practical Nanako often falls into this category.
39	* OlderThanTheyLook: Mitsuba-sensei, who looks like a gradeschooler and knows it. She often uses it to her advantage.
40	%%* {{Otaku}}: Mai, much to her embarrassment, as well as Mitsuba-sensei.
41	* ThePrankster: Wakaba is introduced as this, but she quickly falls out of it once it's revealed that [[spoiler:she was only playing pranks on the shrine because she was jealous of the {{Miko}} there for hogging her father's attention.]]
42	* TheRival: PlayedForLaughs when Akane cheerfully declares that she'll be Mai's rival when she learns that Mai would like to be friends with her and Nanako. Kozue also later declares herself to be this despite Nanako and Akane having no interest in competing with her.
43	* {{Ronin}}: Nanako and Akane are referred to as this.
44	* ShipTease: Although nothing really explicit occurs aside from Shino's obsession with Nanako, there is some very blatant [[YuriGenre yuri]] subtext. Several characters even assume that Nanako and Akane are a couple despite Nanako's denials. Also, In Volume 5, there are mild hints about Kozue's crush on Akane as she becomes flustered with any mere thought of Akane. Shino sees this as an opportunity to possibly push Akane away from Nanako and supports Kozue to become closer to Akane.
45	* ShrinkingViolet: Akane was this as a child.
46	* SitcomArchnemesis: Shino and Nanako's brother consider themselves rivals for Nanako's affection.
47	%%* StalkerWithACrush: SHINO.
48	* StarvingStudent: Nanako is obsessed with saving money, partially because of this trope.
49	%%* TokenMiniMoe: Wakaba.
50	%%* {{Tsundere}}: Kozue, especially towards Akane.
51	* UsedToBeASweetKid: In a flashback it's revealed that Akane was very bashful and sweet when she was young, prompting the other characters to bemoan the fact that she didn't stay that way.
52	* {{Yandere}}: Once again: SHINO. She once contemplated smothering a sick Akane to eliminate the competition for Nanako's attention. PlayedForLaughs, of course.
53	%%* YuriFan: Mai.
