7	!!''Haken no Oscar'' provides examples of:
8
9	* AristocratsAreEvil: Katsuko imagines those with a better position in the company as such.
10	%%* BelligerentSexualTension: Fits this trope perfectly.
11	* BettyAndVeronica: Igarashi is Veronica. Uchimaru is a very nice Betty.
12	* ChargedAttack Whenever Katsuko gets really pissed, she imagines Oscar charging the Bastille and then 'charges' in her own way.
13	* CloudCuckooLander: Katsuko has her moments of spacing out, but is only a mild version of this.
14	%%* CoolOldGuy: Sato Katsuhiro
15	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: [[spoiler: Seems to be averted at first, since the woman Katsuko imagines as Queen Marie Antoinette is nice to her. But then she turns out to have her own agenda.]]
16	%%* LoveTriangle: Igarashi/Katsuko/Uchimura
17	* UsefulNotes/MarieAntoinette: Appears in manga-form, but also in Katsuko's imagination.
18	%%* TheMole
19	* PetTheDog: When Igarashi secretly fixes Katsuko's tire.
20	* ShoutOut: There are numerous references to ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles'', which plays a very important part in the plot. Not only is Katsuko inspired by it, but panels from the manga are often shown. Her interest in manga also brings her into contact with Tawara An.
21	%%* SlapSlapKiss: Between Igarashi and Katsuko.
