Chibisan Date contains examples of:

 * All There in the Manual: Sujanta and Rocket have only appeared on the author's blog.
 * Bishonen: Every male character.
 * The Blank: The girl in chapter three is drawn without a face for the most of it, except till the end.
 * Hair Decorations: Chibisan, Margaret, Candy, and Sujanta. Basically every single girl.
 * Hollywood New England: The setting is mainly on Nantucket Island, just off the coast from Massachusetts. Which some might also recognize as America's ahoge.
 * Genki Girl: Margaret. Of course, Candy has her moments.
 * Girlish Pigtails: Chibisan has them, which just bumps up the cuteness factor a couple more notches.
 * Moe: Seiji. Chibisan too.
 * So are Margaret, Candy, Sujanta, and just about any young person in the series. Himaruya's style tends to do that.
 * Most Artists Are Artists: The main character, Seiji, is an artist, and so is everyone else. (Suehiro makes pottery, Maragret likes to write, etc.)
 * Those Two Guys: Darwit and Artan
 * Token Mini Moe: The series' mascot, Chibisan.
 * Tomboy: Word of God states that Margaret is one of these.
 * Series Mascot: Chibisan
 * Spell My Name With an S: Minor. Chibi-san Date or Chibisan-Date or Chibisan Date? Even the official spellings are inconsistent.
 * The Stoic: Suehiro-san doesn't have many facial expressions.
 * True Art Is Incomprehensible: Margaret is said to have such an extraordinary writing style that no one except her understands it.
 * Unlucky Childhood Friend:
 * White Haired Pretty Boy: Crumb.
