Line 22:
** Oh, and for those concerned, don't ever mention in front of [[The Unfavourite|Yuudai]] that Jiro is the better register worker.
** Yuudai is pretty sensitive to people talking about his scar. {{spoiler|[[Domestic Abuse|With good reason]].}}
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: {{spoiler|A rare gay example, with [[Nice Guy|Taisei]] (Betty) and [[Jerkass|Arata]] (Veronica) for [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Yuudai]]. This is played around a bit, as Arata is the abusive old acquaitance while Taisei is the seeming "unattainable beauty". Regardless, Taisei wins by a landslide, but Arata isn't one of those who give up easily...}}
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Taro is a pretty cool big bro, he cares a lot for his little brother, and is always there to help him out, ''threatens Yuudai with a knife'' when he's about to say something bad about Jiro {{spoiler|(and later punches Yuudai in the face when Yuudai's seemed to do that again)}} and is always concerned that Jiro may be hurt. This also applies to the time when Taro was a [[Delinquents|delinquent]], but then it was taken to rather hilarious extremes:
{{quote|'''Taro:''' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|DATE MY BROTHER OR I'LL THROW YOU DOWN THE STAIRS!!!]]}}
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Taisei is the largest member of the cast (and that's saying something), and he's also the kindest and the happiest.
* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]: Jan is one.
* [[Grumpy Bear]]: Nothing but his [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|cat]] (and maybe Jiro being "devastated"...) seems to make
* [[Hate Sink]]: It has one in the form of {{spoiler|Arata Tasaki, Yuudai's [[Domestic Abuse|abusive]] ex. Between harassing him via text messages, showing up to Yuudai's workplace unannounced and acting insulting to both Yuudai and Jiro, outing Yuudai in the process}}, it's clear he's designed to be hated. {{spoiler|And let's not forget what happened when he run into Yuudai again after work...}}
* [[Hates Being Touched]]: A defensive mechanism of Yuudai, and it's implied [[Jerkass Woobie|that he has a pretty good reason for it]].
* [[Hates Everyone Equally]]: Yuudai [http://sakana.smackjeeves.com/comics/1033527/035/ claims] that he's this, but it seems to be [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] since [[Tsundere|he]] [[Pet the Dog|adores]] [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|his cat]] and seems to get along at least a little bit better with Taro than with everyone else
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Jiro and Tasei have been best friends since middle school, and they are practially inseparable, [[Ho Yay|go shopping together]] and share an apartment. Oh, and after Jiro ''finally'' goes on a date with [[No Name Given|cashier girl]], Taisei can't stop worrying about him getting hurt, and so he [[Date Peepers|stalks their date]].
** Mad stated that Shigeru and Taro are "bros for life".
* [[Hidden Depths]]: You wouldn't think that Yuudai, the [[Grumpy Bear|grumpy guy]] with the [[Jerkass]] behaviour loves cats and everything [[Cuteness Proximity|cute and cat-related]], and also is a [[All There in the Manual|big fan of anime]]. {{spoiler|Much less so that he's gay and has recently gotten out of an abusive relationship.}}
** This applies to every character in general.
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Taisei doesn't seem to notice that Yuudai is not exactly Jiro's friend, and instead immediately sees Yuudai as [[Nakama|part of the team]]. Yuudai is this too in the opposite way, thinking everyone is out to get him only to show they care about him.
* [[In Touch with His Feminine Side]]: Taisei loves to go [[Large Ham|SHOPP-ING~!]]
** Yuudai [[All There in the Manual|apparently]] also likes [[Shoujo]] manga.
* [[Japanese Delinquents]]: In his teens Taro was this, but [[All There in the Manual|in his childhood]] he [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]], [http://mynameismad.deviantart.com/art/YANKEE-PUNCHONETTA-159132607 apparently]. Now he's more like a [[Nice Guy]], though, [[Beware the Nice Ones|unless you get on his bad side.]]
* [[Jerkass]]: Yuudai certainly acts this way, but some panels indicate that it's actually just him being fed up with life and having no trust into people
** The angry
** Yuki, the girl Jiro really wanted to date when he was young, who brushed his off [[Love Confession]] pretty rudely.
** The [[Yakuza]] Genji associates himself with, obviously enough.
** {{spoiler|Arata Tasaki, Yuudai's abusive ex}} is the worst of them all.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: This is what Yuudai really is, combined with [[Jerkass Facade]]. He may be gruff and short-tempered, but he's a caring and shy man underneath who warms up to those who are really nice to him. His softer side is best displayed with his [[Morality Pet|Morality Pets]], his cat Hime and {{spoiler|his [[Love Interest]]}} Taisei.
** Also Genji, the cousin of the brothers
* [[Keet]]: Taisei, although he's rather tall.
** Jan also qualifies.
Line 85 ⟶ 87:
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Yuudai thought Taisei was [[Ho Yay|Jiro's boyfriend]].
** "[http://www.mangamagazine.net/read-manga/SAKANA-Chapter-4-Chapter-4/125/3/6 Are you coming onto me]?"
* [[Nice Guy]]: So many people, but Taisei outshines them all.
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: Taro, [[Blood Is the New Black|of]] [[Knife Nut|course]].
* [[No Name Given]]: Due to Jiro's shyness when it comes to girls, he hasn't got a chance to ask "cashier girl" for her name. This has developed into a [[Running Gag]] of sorts, since every time Jiro gets to talk to her, he always somehow fails to get her name. {{spoiler|Finally averted as of later chapters.}}
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Taisei. The awkwardness level of it is especially high because he's so tall.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]. {{spoiler|After Jiro tries to ask "cashier girl" out on a date, but [[Cannot Spit It Out|is too nervous when talking to her to actually do so]], he ask her for some change. Depressed, Jiro goes back with the change, but Taro notices a piece of paper with her phone number on it...}}
Line 97 ⟶ 98:
* [[Recurring Extra]]: A guy with a cap with the phrase [[Fun T-Shirt|"THIS GUY"]] on it shows up frequently in the background. He seems to be a [[Chekhov's Gunman]], because the artist revealed that he will have a bigger role in the future.
* [[Rule 63]]: [http://mynameismad.tumblr.com/post/19486809384/what-if-a-genderbending-beam-came-and-shot-the-whole#notes With official art provided by Mad herself ], please enjoy [http://mynameismad.tumblr.com/tagged/girlkana Girlkana].
* [[Running Gag]]: The brothers epically failing to get "cashier girl"'s name. {{spoiler|It's Chie, by the way.}}
** Taro being in awkward situations because of him being covered in blood or looking [[Axe Crazy]] due to his work as a butcher.
* [[Salaryman]]: Taisei.
Line 108 ⟶ 109:
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Yuudai likes donuts. And Pocky.
* [[Talking in Your Sleep]]: A common thing for Taisei. He also is described as a "traveling sleeper", meaning he tends to roll around in his sleep, sometimes crushing or coming too close to his poor roommates by doing so.
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: If there's something [[Sibling Yin-Yang|Jiro and Taro]] have in common, is that they show this trope when they're angry, and it's not a pretty sight.
* [[Trapped by Gambling Debts]]: Heavily implied about Jiro and Taro's cousin Genji. And his dad Ren is getting sick of bailing him out, so he's gearing up to cut Genji off...
* [[Tsundere]]: Yuudai is very ''tsun'' around his co-workers, and very ''dere'' [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|around his cat]]. The moments where he actually shows his kind side to them are rare indeed. He is not a bad guy, though.
** He is also [[Ho Yay|notably flustered]] whenever [[No Sense of Personal Space|Taisei]] invades Yuudais normally well-protected comfort zone [[Love You and Everybody|just by being friendly]]. {{spoiler|No wonder he gained a crush on him.}}
* [[Tsunshun]]: Yuudai per [[Word of God]].
* [[Wham! Line]]: Ohoho. And what a [[Wham! Line]] it was.
