== The Girls ==

Line 40:

* [[Cheerful Child]]: Her picture's literally the first thing you'd think of (and ''see'') when you see that trope.

* [[Child Prodigy]]

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Penguins]]: Chiyo + Penguin Suit = [[Tastes Like Diabetes|Weapons-Grade Cute]].

* [[Everything's Better with Penguins]]: Chiyo + Penguin Suit = [[Tastes Like Diabetes|Weapons-Grade Cute]].

* [[Expressive Hair]]: Osaka is fascinated with her pigtails.

* [[Fear of Thunder]]

Line 69:

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: Kagura calls Sakaki a "lone wolf", although Sakaki would rather imagine herself as a cute lil' puppy.

* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Type 1.

* [[Blue ~~With~~ Shock]]: She gets this either when she is thinking of something that's impossibly cute, or when Kagura or Tomo's actions catch her off guard.

* [[Blue with Shock]]: She gets this either when she is thinking of something that's impossibly cute, or when Kagura or Tomo's actions catch her off guard.

* [[Boobs of Steel]]

* [[Broken Ace]]

Line 95:

* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]]

* [[Hachimaki]]: Subverted in the last Sports Festival episode. She starts off wearing it as normal around her head then, {{spoiler|after hearing a boy from another class make fun of Chiyo's running, [[Expository Hairstyle Change|she takes it off and uses it to tie her hair in a ponytail]]}}.

* [[Hot Chick in A Badass Suit]]: Her gakuran costume during the third athletics festival is enough to reduce Kaorin to yelling "HOORAY!" over and over again.

* [[Hot Chick in a Badass Suit]]: Her gakuran costume during the third athletics festival is enough to reduce Kaorin to yelling "HOORAY!" over and over again.

* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: See below.

* [[Image Song]]: Kokoro wa Shoujo de PARACHUTE and Mahou Neko ni aeru Hi wa. The second one features Chiyo.

* [[Internalized Categorism]]: Sakaki hates the fact that she's tall, [[Cursed ~~With~~ Awesome|popular, has big boobs, and is great at sports]]...and wishes she were short and cute like [[Kawaisa|Chiyo]].

* [[Internalized Categorism]]: Sakaki hates the fact that she's tall, [[Cursed with Awesome|popular, has big boobs, and is great at sports]]...and wishes she were short and cute like [[Kawaisa|Chiyo]].

* [[Japanese Delinquents]]: Her unintentionally-intimidating attitude causes the girls to mistake her for one.

* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: In a way. Everyone knows she's good at sports. Old news. Tease Chiyo because she can't run? She takes that personally and will proceed to demolish the competition in response. Also acts as an awesome bodyguard for Chiyo during the snowball fight.

* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Ouite often, mostly in response to seeing kitty cats!

* [[Misunderstood Loner ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]]

* [[Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold]]

* [[Odd Couple]]: with Kagura, although it does not stand out as much as Yomi's and Tomo's friendship.

* [[Pet Baby Wild Animal]]: Mayaa.

Line 126:

The extremely-energetic member of Yukari's class who likes to make everything into a competition. Failing that, her default behavior is to annoy others or cause a commotion, though not out of malice (well, not more than any other teenager). Is best friends with Yomi, though it's unclear how the two of them manage to stand each other.

----

* [[A Cup Angst]]: She's nowhere near the flattest character on the show, but Yomi's always mocking her breast size anyway. She does start quite a number of perverted jokes though (more in the manga). A few of them are about Sakaki's, Kagura's, and Yomi's breasts. Maybe she's envious? She jokes that she'd do better in sports like the aforementioned if she had Kagura's figure.

She jokes that she'd do better in sports like the aforementioned if she had Kagura's figure.

** Tomo's definitely jealous, particularly of Sakaki's size, as she laments being in the same "group" as Osaka, and is ecstatic whenever her own size increases. She's also obsessed with Kagura's large bust.

** In the dream episode, you can quite clearly see that in her dreams, she's a lot bustier than normal.

Line 142:

* [[Generation Xerox]]: She's a Yukari Jr down to her [[Jerkass]] tendencies and lack of any skills.

* [[Genki Girl]]: ''The current page image.''

* [[Giver of Lame Names]]: She dubbed Ayumu "Osaka" because [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|she came from Osaka]]. In the manga, it is revealed that she gives pets equally generic names.

* [[Giver of Lame Names]]: She dubbed Ayumu "Osaka" because [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|she came from Osaka]]. In the manga, it is revealed that she gives pets equally generic names.

* [[Gratuitous English]]: Like Yukari, [[Inconsistent Dub|inconsistently dubbed]] into [[Gratuitous Spanish]].

* [[Image Song]]: Sora wa Tobikiri Paradaisu and Poi Poi Peace. Also shares one with Yomi, and another with Kagura and Osaka.

Line 152:

* [[Odd Couple]]: With Yomi.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: At the graduation ceremony, after years of teasing Chiyo, Tomo stands up and [[Slow Clap|leads the crowd in a round of applause for her.]]

** Another noteworthy moment was when her teasing actually managed to get under Kagura's skin and hurt her feelings, and Tomo's reaction makes it clear that it was unintentional. [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold|Tomo being Tomo]], she decides to cheer Kagura up by annyoing her so much that she quickly forgets to be upset by a little teasing.

[[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Tomo being Tomo]], she decides to cheer Kagura up by annyoing her so much that she quickly forgets to be upset by a little teasing.

* [[The Rival]]: She tries to antagonize and compete with everyone, just for the hell of it — especially Chiyo and Sakaki. She was also Osaka's [[Unknown Rival]] on Osaka's first day.

* [[Screwy Squirrel]]

* [[Standing in ~~The~~ Hall]]: Self-inflicted.

* [[Standing in the Hall]]: Self-inflicted.

* [[Too Dumb to Fool]]: Of all people, Osaka finds this out in her one attempt to prevent the "Osaka" nickname from spreading. She points out how little time she's lived in Osaka as a reason to not call her that. A smart person would note that all of the locales listed are just suburbs of Osaka. Tomo just gets too confused by all the places and sticks with the one she can remember.

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Yomi.

Line 179:

* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]]: Yeah, right...like [[Rie Tanaka]] can really sing that badly.

* [[Image Song]]: Sorezore no Oneway and Oishii Kimi-Tachi.

* [[Irony As She Is Cast]]: Yomi can't sing, despite Rie Tanaka having a great singing voice. It's even more ironic when Yomi's image songs are sung beautifully.

* [[Irony as She Is Cast]]: Yomi can't sing, despite Rie Tanaka having a great singing voice. It's even more ironic when Yomi's image songs are sung beautifully.

* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Not quite as fast as Sakaki, not quite as strong as Kagura and not quite as smart as Chiyo. Heck, it's even reflected in her bust size: big, but not the biggest. Tomo mocks her for her JOAS status in the Tsukurimashou image song.

* [[Meganekko]]

Line 205:

As her (forced) nickname suggests, Ayumu Kasuga is a transfer student from Osaka. It's not actually her real name and she lived there for only one year, but she was no match for Tomo's enthusiasm and thick-headedness. Sometimes lapses into non-sequiturs when speaking, and often gets lost daydreaming. Isn't the sharpest crayon in the box and is even beaten by Chiyo at sports, but has a knack for puns and riddles and pun-based riddles. Without question, one of [[Ensemble Darkhorse|the most popular characters]] in the show.

----

* [[A Cup Angst]]: Could you imagine that she felt like Chiyo betrayed her when Yomi pointed out that Chiyo was only flat because of her age, and that she might become as well-endowed as Sakaki when she get older?

* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Could you imagine that she felt like Chiyo betrayed her when Yomi pointed out that Chiyo was only flat because of her age, and that she might become as well-endowed as Sakaki when she get older?

* [[Berserk Button]]/[[Serious Business]]: If she tells you to break your chopsticks correctly, you ''better'' break them correctly.

** Lampooned in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEdnDF2lgaA this] vid.

Line 223:

* [[The Fool]]

* [[Fountain of Memes]]

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Osaka, our cute little [[Cloudcuckoolander]], also happens to share a voice with a certain [[Elfen Lied ~~(Anime)~~|Psychopathic Manchild]]

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Osaka, our cute little [[Cloudcuckoolander]], also happens to share a voice with a certain [[Elfen Lied|Psychopathic Manchild]]

* [[The Idiot From Osaka]]: Subverted. At least Tomo is disappointed when she turns out ''not'' to fit the stereotype.

* [[Image Song]]: Shikkari! TRY La Lai and Time Pavement. Also shares one with Chiyo.

Line 229:

* [[The Klutz]]

* [[My Name Is Not Durwood|My Name Is Not Osaka]]

* [[Named By Democracy]]: Tomo gives her the name "Osaka" and the other girls outvote her before she can protest.

* [[Named by Democracy]]: Tomo gives her the name "Osaka" and the other girls outvote her before she can protest.

* [[Narrator All Along]]: Osaka's story about the girls being murdered on summer break.

* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: But we love her anyway!

* [[Not a Morning Person]]

* [[Only Known By Their Nickname|Only Known By Her Nickname]]: Starting in Second Year, even the official school roster calls her "Osaka". In the anime, she's known as Osaka from her first day.

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname|Only Known By Her Nickname]]: Starting in Second Year, even the official school roster calls her "Osaka". In the anime, she's known as Osaka from her first day.

* [[Petite Pride]]: Weakly claimed that "being [[Unusual Euphemism|Japanese]] is fine." Ten seconds later, she's yelling at Chiyo, because she might actually get boobs.

* [[Pungeon Master]]

Line 272:

* [[Tsurime Eyes]]

* [[Unknown Rival]]: To Sakaki. Occasionally becomes a regular [[The Rival|rival]] to Tomo, just because they're both addicted to competition.

* [[You Go Girl]]

* [[You Go, Girl!]]

----

Line 326:

* [[Noodle Incident]]: See previous entry and her [[Jerkass]] friend Yukari. Also, in one episode she has too much to drink and gathers the girls to impart some "serious-business" wisdom. [[Relax-O-Vision|Music drowns out anything she says, but the epic imagery, soundtrack]], and the girl's rapt attention (plus her being drunk), [[Take Our Word for It|suggests to the viewer]] she is telling them something inappropriate but awesome.

* [[Not So Different]]/[[Captain Ersatz]]/[[Counterpart Comparison]]: To Yomi.

* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]

* [[Sensei ~~Chan~~]]

* [[Sensei-chan]]

* [[The Straight Man]]

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: She and Yukari are the adult versions of this trope.

* [[Tomboyish Sidetails]]

* [[You Go Girl]]: The adult version of this trope.

* [[You Go, Girl!]]: The adult version of this trope.

----

Line 347:

* [[Gratuitous English]]: [[Memetic Mutation|Mai waifu.]]

* [[Hot for Student]]: Poor Kaorin...

* [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]]: Well, disgusting pervert who is otherwise a kind, model citizen anyway.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Well, disgusting pervert who is otherwise a kind, model citizen anyway.

* [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Jerk]]: One of his lines can be paraphrased as "Well, now that I donated $100 to the orphanage, let's go for some peeping!".

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]: One of his lines can be paraphrased as "Well, now that I donated $100 to the orphanage, let's go for some peeping!".

* [[Lolicon]]: "High school is high school." In other words, Kimura's joshikosei garb fetish ignores any and all age restrictions. In the manga, there's a point where the teachers wear high school uniforms for a costume race and Kimura hands Yukari a love letter ("Senpai, read this.").

* [[Loveable Sex Maniac]]

Line 379:

** [[Transparent Closet|Supposedly.]]

* [[Straight Gay|Straight Lesbian]]

* [[Throw the Dog A Bone]]: The dance after the first Sports Fest, which is immediately yanked away. Also, the 3-legged race in the second Sports Fest.

* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: The dance after the first Sports Fest, which is immediately yanked away. Also, the 3-legged race in the second Sports Fest.

* [[Transparent Closet]]: Current page image.

* [[Yandere]]: Possibly...

Line 405:

(''cue Chiyo-chichi shaking with rage'') }}

** Don't show anything red around him. Don't tell him you have a "Cat's Tongue" either, or he'll rip it out.

* [[Gratuitous English]]: ''"HARRO, EVERY-NYAN!! HOW AH YOU! FAIN SANKYUU!!" "AH, [[Hatoful Boyfriend ~~(Video Game)~~|I WISH I WERE A BIRD]]!"''

* [[Gratuitous English]]: ''"HARRO, EVERY-NYAN!! HOW AH YOU! FAIN SANKYUU!!" "AH, [[Hatoful Boyfriend|I WISH I WERE A BIRD]]!"''

** [[Surprisingly Good English]]: His pronounciation is actually not bad. Of course, it's [[Norio Wakamoto|Norio Wakamoto's]] booming voice that makes it stand out.

* [[Large Ham]]: [[Norio Wakamoto|Duh!]]

Line 425:

* [[Cowardly Lion]]: He works entirely on intimidation. If you manage to scare him like Mayaa, or even just hit him on the head like Kagura, he'll run off.

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: He shows how fast he is when Sakaki just tries to take a photo of him. He literally bounces off of the walls in an ally in order to ruin her photography attempts. He can't take a hit to the head before being scared off, though. Played straight in the fan-made fighting game.

* [[Gang Up On the Human]]: Kamineko's biggest jerkass moment is when he assembles a gang of all the other neighborhood cats to attack Sakaki, and possibly Chiyo by association. Luckily, Mayaa was able to put a stop to it.

* [[Gang Up on the Human]]: Kamineko's biggest jerkass moment is when he assembles a gang of all the other neighborhood cats to attack Sakaki, and possibly Chiyo by association. Luckily, Mayaa was able to put a stop to it.

* [[Jerkass]]: Probably the biggest in the show. Not that it stops Sakaki.

** During the last episode, Sakaki walks up and apologizes to him for trying to pet him when he didn't want her to. She walks off and he follows her. She notices him following her, and it looks like he'll finally let her pet him. CHOMP!

Line 447:

* [[The One Guy]]: Even moreso than Kimura.

* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: Sorry Yomi, but even you couldn't beat the normality of Tod.

* [[Overshadowed By Awesome]]: Could actually be quite funny if he was given more time. Of course, the main focus is on the girls.

* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Could actually be quite funny if he was given more time. Of course, the main focus is on the girls.

* [[Recurring Character]]: Actually [http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/4843789253_fb34512181_o.jpg appears] [http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4107/4843789371_82d8a32169_o.jpg quite frequently] in the [http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/4844407640_03b3b7f027_o.jpg anime.]
