* ShipTease: From volume 5 on the series very teasy. With the couples being Riko/Nagi, Maki/Yan, Yuiko/[[spoiler:Haru]] and Suzu/[[spoiler:Ren.]]

* AttractiveBentGender: Maki in the opening, [[SpoilerOpening and eventually as a gag in the series itself.]]

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: All of the EnsembleCast of girls.

* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Used from time to time in the show.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Riko and Maki are very popular with their fellow schoolmates.

** Maki occasionally does this.

* HamToHamCombat: Riko gets into these occasionally, sometimes with Sayori, but especially with Satoshi, her ChildhoodFriend.

Originally a YonKoma by Ruri Miyahara serialized in the magazine Manga Home (later moved to Manga Time Special) since 2006, ''Love Lab'' (or ''Ren'ai Lab'' [恋愛ラボ] if you go with the kanji reading) got approved for an anime adaptation by Creator/{{Dogakobo}}, directed by Creator/MasahikoOhta, that started airing in the summer of 2013.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Maki is constantly getting hit by an angry Riko, who sometimes suffer from Maki's delusions.

** EmbarrassingNickname: Riko notes how embarrasing Maki's nickname is, without realising she also has a pretty ridiculous nickname.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Riko's the tomboy and Maki the girly girl.

* HairDecorations: Riko usually wears them, even if they aren't approved by the teachers.

* {{Dojikko}}:
** Maki attempts to do this, but fails miserably.
** Suzune plays it straight, tripping constantly. Riko utilizes this to distract the faculty members in episode 5 to buy time for Maki and Yuiko to use the PA system.
** Nana Ichikawa also plays this trope straight. In one hilarious scene, she runs off after leaving a photo of Riko by the student council office, but is so slow and trips so often that Suzune, despite also tripping a few times, manages to catch her. Some of the other students wonder if this was a skit.

* BlackFace: Used as part of a gag in episode 8 when Maki tries to be a "Soul Sister" in order to feel what it's like to be a girl with darker skin and who weigh a little more than usual. ValuesDissonance aside, this could also be a reference to Ganguro, a type of Japanese style that was once fairly popular and includes deep tanning and often gaudy clothing. Then again, Ganguro style was a fad that died out at least a decade ago. Even then, aside from "Soul Sister" not even being in their vocabulary, it was a counterculture movement against Japanese beauty standards using bleached hair, not afros, and tanning that ended up stereotypically orange - even among the types of Ganguro style that were intentionally based off of black people, afros included, they are still functionally blackface.

* GratuitousEnglish: Surprisingly averted when the Maki and Yuiko make a PA announcement stating they were giving an English lesson to help students a little bit. They use a little bit, but then go back to speaking in Japanese.

** When Riko catches Maki kissing a body pillow, Maki tries to cover it up by telling claiming that it was just Riko's imagination, and that the pillow is a fairy. Suzune's first (and brief) appereance was dismissed similarly.

* WhoIsThisGuyAgain: In episode 6, when Sayori attempts to call out Riko on her knowledge about men, a boy comes up to her, calls her by name, and says it's been a while since they've seen each other. Sayori asks if this was a guy Riko turned down, causing a lot of embarrassment to him, and he runs off. Cue {{Squee}} by Maki as Riko's "knowledge" seems to be confirmed about dumping boys left and right. And unfortunately for Riko, she doesn't remember him. [[spoiler:She later finds out that he was a ChildhoodFriend of hers, but looks a lot different than he did when they were younger, hence why she didn't recognize him at first.]]
