* {{Foil}}: Subverted. At first, Yokoi and Seki appear to be foils of each other — Yokoi being studious and diligent, and Seki being BrilliantButLazy — but as the series progresses, we see just how similar the two are. See NotSoDifferent and NotSoAboveItAll below.

* NotSoDifferent: Despite how differently they treat their studies, both main characters are very similar. Yokoi is even seen playing along several times. It's not surprising people believe they are a couple.

* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: During the class inspection, Yokoi gets caught with having a CD she borrowed from her friend Tomoko, which she doesn't even listen to in class, whereas Seki evades being caught with his "Robot Family."



* NoNameGiven: Some of the minor characters are not given names. For example, the teacher who conducts the inspection (played by Creator/VicMignogna) is called "Mr. Yellow Tie" in the credits, while Mrs. Yokoi is called "Mom."



* SternTeacher: Adachi-sensei is apparently scary when he's angry, which is why Yokoi doesn't want Seki to get on his bad side.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Yokoi is gradually leaning on this as the manga continues. Any story that involves the Robot Family will end up with her being more invested in their story then even Seki. At one point, Seki is playing a game completely out of her sight. Instead of being happy, she's mad because it's not fun ''for her'', and spends the chapter trying to sneak a peek.

Instead of being happy, she's mad because it's not fun ''for her'', and spends the chapter trying to sneak a peek.



* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Seki acts like this toward Yokoi when he takes on the role of postmaster for his classmates' notes. When Yokoi tries to send him a note telling him to cut it out, he rejects it by informing her that it's too large. After she resends it on a regulation-sized note, he returns it with a delivery form that she needs to fill out, one that's longer than the note itself, despite the fact that she's handing the note to him. After Yokoi fills out the form, he closes for the day before she can turn it in. Yokoi's rather annoyed with Seki's rules, and puzzled as to why he finds this fun.
-->'''Yokoi''': How bored do you have to be if you're mimicking government workers?!

The sight of him turns Jun from terse and stoic to cheerful and playful in an instant, to the point that her speech becomes more babyish to match Makuru. She won't even allow Yokoi to scold him for misbehavior, and can't do so herself when the potential for the boy to become a SpoiledBrat is pointed out to her.
