->''"So this is 'love', isn't it?"''

* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs: Several of the girls loooove their hair jewelry. In fact, it's one of the best gifts for Shiori, and goes as far as a plot point in ''Tabidachi no Uta''.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Being the IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy {{Tsundere}} she is, Kotoko of ''Tokimeki Memorial 2'' loves to delivers these to the protagonist [[TheMatchmaker every time she feels]] [[MatchmakerCrush he neglected her best friend Hikari]]. [[spoiler: It culminates to SlapSlapKiss territory (although the slap slap is delivered by her alone, and she hugs you instead of kissing), complete with Baka [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments callings]], in her Ending where both her and Hikari are in love with the protagonist, and you ultimately choose Kotoko.]]

* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs: Several of the girls loooove their hair jewelry. In fact, it's one of the best gifts for Shiori, and goes as far as a plot point in ''Tabidachi no Uta'', where a MAJOR SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} occurs.

* LethalChef: The standard branch of the series likes to explore the cooking skills of the [[SenpaiKohai Kohai]] characters. Both Yumi in ''1'' and Mei in ''2'' are horrible chefs providing [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious moments]], while Haruna in ''4'' is actually [[SupremeChef the reverse]], due to working at a sweets shop.

** and even, in the case of later ''Tokimemo'' games, some to earlier entries of the series, such as one of Rui's LimitBreak in ''Tokimeki Memorial 4'', where she tries to invoke her father in the battlefield like Yukari of ''Tokimemo 1'' does, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments but fails and]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGAmeo0Y27E#t=5m04s complains about it]].

* ThisIsADrill: As a mecha anime fan, and particulary of the [[MeaningfulName "Go-Driller"]] [[ShowWithinAShow show]], Homura of ''Tokimeki Memorial 2'' loves to wield these. There's even [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ocelot_homura_7078.jpg a joke illustration]] by the game's illustrator in the ''Tokimeki Memorial 2 Illustrations'' book, where she tries to give a pissed off [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Revolver Ocelot]] a drill to replace his severed arm, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and Akane trying to refrain her]].

* {{Kuudere}}: Yuina, if you get her. [[spoiler: Rei and Mira might be like this, too.]]
** Rhythmy in ''Tokimemo 4'' personifies this trope. [[spoiler: Though it's largely because she has ultra sensitive hearing, and interacting with people actually gives her headaches.]] Once you've broken through the ice, she's total putty in your hands.

* AffectionateParody / TakeThat: Being a defining and popular game series in Japan, the Tokimemo games got their fair share of those in pop culture. To cite a few works containing such parodies: ''Anime/ExcelSaga'', ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'', ''Manga/{{Kochikame}}'', ''VideoGame/LaMulana''...

2017 saw a new spinoff for the franchise; like how its sister series ''Girl's Side'' has the IdolSinger-focused ''Tokimeki Restaurant'', the prime series now has ''[[https://www.konami.com/games/tokimeki-idol/ Tokimeki Idol]]'', a RhythmGame about training up-and-coming schoolgirls into becoming the superstar idols of their dreams.

[[IThoughtThatWas Must not be confused]] with the {{shojo}} manga ''Manga/TokimekiTonight'', nor the HGame, ''Tokimeki Check-in''.
