11	----
12	!!This series includes examples of:
13	* AttentionWhore: Amano, who decides to try and come between [[spoiler:Ishida and Watanabe]] because she has nothing to do at work.
14	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Watanabe pursues Ishida because he's interested in Fujii. She ends up being frustrated when she can't get him to give up on her.
15	* BrokenAce: Tanaka seems to be the perfect woman, with the exception of her affair.
16	* ButNotTooForeign: Wherever the other half of Sahara's blood comes from, it's not Japan.
17	* CampGay: Mita is '''hilarious.'''
18	* CanNotSpitItOut: Ogiwara is unaware that Fujii knows he's also involved with Tanaka.
19	* CareerVersusMan:
20	** Fujii's boyfriend gets fed up with her because he doesn't want to compete with her job anymore.
21	** [[spoiler:Kouda]] points this out as the main reason why Yugi won't just marry him. She can't do it all and it bothers her.
22	* ClingyJealousGirl:
23	** Watanabe and Tanaka are both worried that Fujii will take their lovers. See BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor for Watanabe. Tanaka, on the other hand, is a married woman having an affair.
24	** [[spoiler:Watanabe again]] though, this time, it's [[LaserGuidedKarma justified.]]
25	* CoolBigSis: Hirano and Yugi to Fujii. Tanaka is introduced as this but eventually becomes TheRival.
26	* GenreSavvy: Mita and Yugi can call pretty much everything Fujii does.
27	* HandsomeLech: Sahara [[strike:has some shades of this]] is this.
28	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Fujii and her fellow employees drink at every opportunity.
29	* HeadTurningBeauty: Fujii, despite not dressing or being particularly sexy at all, manages to attract the attention of Ishida, Ogiwara and Sahara, as a result of childishness and her work ethic.
30	* ImagineSpot: Fujii has quite a few.
31	* ImportantHaircut: Tanaka cuts her hair [[spoiler:after Ogiwara leaves for New York.]]
32	* {{Josei}}
33	* LaserGuidedKarma: Watanabe. Can you guess the other reason why [[spoiler:Amano]] is interested in Ishida?
34	* ManChild: Fujii and Ishida, two folks who are remain impressively innocent for their age. Kouda also counts.
35	* TheMistress: Ogiwara to Tanaka. She even insists that every working woman should have one!
36	** Yugii says she's this to her boyfriend. [[spoiler:She's lying, Kouda's wife is dead.]]
37	* MyBiologicalClockIsTicking
38	* OfficeLady
39	* {{Tsundere}}: Ishida.
40	* PluckyOfficeGirl: Fujii is a little higher up in position than most examples but otherwise fits.
41	* PoorCommunicationKills: So much could be avoided if people grew spines and talked to each other.
42	* PutOnABus: After a three-book leadup and the promise of an epic battle, [[spoiler:Ogiwara]] just kind of... ''vanishes'' in book 4, while [[spoiler:Tanaka kind of drifts into the circle of friends as if nothing ever happened.]]
43	* TheRival: Tanaka. Feminine, stylish, sociable and married.
44	* SexySecretary: Watanabe certainly looks like one.
45	* SourOutsideSadInside: More like Perv Outside Sad Inside, as Sahara's womanizing masks his issues with his race and family.
46	* ThroughHisStomach: Watanabe and Fujii try this. Doesn't quite work.
47	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Yugi and Fujii, Fujii and Watanabe and Fujii and Tanaka.
48	* WhiteCollarWorker: This reaches new heights in books 4 and 5. Sahara carries on a relationship with two women, [[spoiler:Fujii, who admits [[AesopAmnesia she should know better by now]]]] and a young assistant stylist. Fujii's new employee/trainee Amano decides she won't leave well enough alone and is trying to come between [[spoiler:Ishida and Watanabe]], who, up until that point, looked like they finally got it together.
