** When the group gathers to find a way to stop [[spoiler:the library being shut down]], it goes around the table with each person mentioning a group whose help they'll enlist. Joro's response when it's his turn? [[LightNovel/{{Haganai}} "I don't have many friends."]]

** When Pansy confesses her love to Joro, his OhCrap reaction has him looking like TheScream by Edvard Munch.

* TheScream: Joro’s reaction to Pansy’s confession. He even does an ArtShift to the painting by Edvard Munch, with the Bench in the background.

* SenpaiKouhai: Cosmos is a year above the rest of the main characters. Tampopo is a year below them.

* AbsoluteCleavage: When Pansy first undoes her school uniform and reveals her HiddenBuxom to Joro.

* PantyShot: The most common form of {{Fanservice}} this series indulges in. The RecapEpisode even mentions that a deliberate choice was made to use this in the first episodes to keep viewers watching through the slow start.

** Joro’s TheScream reaction to Pansy’s confession is an ArtShift to the style of Creator/EdvardMunch’s “The Scream” painting.

* AnAesop: There is no such thing as a side character. Everyone is the protagonist of their own life, and to diminish their importance is toxic for everyone.
** At the beginning of the series, Joro thinks he’s the main character of a harem story and thus entitled to the affection of Cosmos and Himawari. Such a mindset leads to disappointment for him when they turn out to be more than just love interests. [[spoiler:Sun-chan also disregarded their feelings and paid the price for it]].
** In the third arc, Joro’s perception of himself as a mere background character is what drives his actions. It takes a YouAreNotAlone talk with Tsubaki for him to accept that he’s just as valued and important as his friends.
** [[spoiler:Hose has the same sense of entitlement that Joro used to, believing he’s the main character and should get Pansy’s love]]. Like Joro, this selfish way of thinking comes back to bite him.

** [[spoiler:Hose]] is the closest thing the fourth arc has to an antagonist, with Tampopo as the InterimVillain at the beginning. Unlike the previous examples, [[spoiler:he remains antagonistic and, given that he’s responsible for Pansy’s backstory, serves as the main villain of the series as a whole]].

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode of the anime has a first-person pronoun in the title (specifically in Japanese, they all start with “Ore,” but this doesn’t apply to all the titles’ English translations).

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Cosmos and Himawari's expressions towards Joro at the end of Episode 3 shows that they are remorseful and embarrassed that they let Sun manipulate them to turn on him.
