18	!!Tropes featured include:
19	* CutenessEqualsForgiveness: Murumo uses his cuteness in this way, easily winning the hearts of anyone with his adorable antics and PuppyDogEyes. Only his older brother is immune, though it's not like anyone listens to him (when he warns Kaede about this, her response is "You're just jealous that you're not as cute as he is!").
20	* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Murumo acts like the sweetest kid in front of most people, but his dark side is usually revealed to the audience and his older brother. One of his [[http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/wagamamafairy/mutekinopuriti.htm image songs]] is about this trope.
21	* GoKartingWithBowser: Mirumo, Rirumu, and Murumo are seen dancing and playing with Yashichi in the OP's.
22	* HostileShowTakeover: In one chapter, Murumo is quick to declare the manga's end after his older brother gets konked on the head and the start of a new manga ("Lovely Fairy Murumo de Pon!"), despite Mirumo's protests that he isn't dead.
23	* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday
24	* LoveMakesYouEvil: Near the end, it's revealed this is the BigBad's FreudianExcuse [[StartOfDarkness for turning to]] TheDarkSide and wanting to destroy Mirumo and the Fairies' royal line: in his younger days, he got cruelly rejected by the girl he loved. Mirumo is ''not pleased'' when hearing this and chews Dark out a new one, calling him an idiot and a pain for such a ridiculous motive.
25	* MagicalSecurityCam: In Episode 25, the Warumo Gang watches footage from two previous episodes where they are defeated. Near the end of the scene, Hanzo asks who even filmed the video, [[LampshadeHanging which gets everybody confused as they have no idea how they even got the footage in the first place.]]
26	* MascotsLoveSugar: Mirumo is supposed to be helping Kaede find love but spends most of his time dodging his fiancee and eating chocolate. At one point Kaede is even put in crisis when she eats a piece of chocolate that was made to poison Mirumo in order to save him.
27	* MeaningfulName: The Warumo Gang's full name is "The Organization that Gradually Annoys the Mirumo Village with an Evil Power", which, in Romaji, would be read as "'''Waru'''i chikara de Miru'''mo''' no Sato o '''dan'''dan komara seru soshiki".
28	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Mirumo's the Blue Boy to Rirumu's Pink Girl.
29	** In their fairy forms, Kaede's the Pink Girl to Setsu's Blue Boy.
30	* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Warumo Gang become one of these to [[SealedEvilInACan Dark]] and [[TheDragon Akumi]].
31	* SayItWithHearts: In one episode, Kaede gives [[ShelteredAristocrat Matsutake]] a coffee cup and includes a note, which his servant reads to him, including saying "heart mark" at the end.
32	* SpoiledBrat: Azumi, also a ClingyJealousGirl.
33	* StrawberryShorthand: The first OpeningTheme for ''Wagamama Fairy Mirumo de Pon!'' includes a line that translates to "with a strawberry-like feeling" ("ichigo no you na kibun de"). Appropriately, the [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/kaedeichigo.png accompanying image]] was Kaede's head on a strawberry being held by her {{Sweat Drop}}ping crush.
34	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The fairies are all pretty much tied to their favorite snacks, especially Mirumo and Murumo, to the point were all you need to do to get them to do what you want is offer them a large enough amount of the treat in question. Mirumo and chocolate, Murumo and marshmallows, Rirumu and cream puffs, Yashichi and karintou.
35	* WhatTheHellHero: Mirumo deals one to Kaede ''already in the first episode'', since she at first expects all of her problems to be totally resolved with magic and he must disabuse her of such a simplistic (and for him, borderline ''offensive'') view.
36	* WineIsClassy: Murumo is occasionally seen lounging in a tiny armchair with wine glass that the captions are quick to point out is [[FrothyMugsOfWater full of juice]].
37	* YouMustBeCold: In one episode, Kaede and Setsu are trapped in the penguin room in the Zoo ran by Matsukake's family. When Kaede shivers with cold due to the room's temperature, Setsu puts his coat on her.
