YMMV / Kochikame

• Fetish Retardant: Later stories(especially after 1990s) made the main female characters like Reiko much bustier, and some readers got this reaction.
• Ho Yay: While the scenes in questions are always Played for Laughs, there are several moments where the characters get in homoerotic situations, usually involving nudity and Ryotsu displaying a No Sense of Personal Space.
• Periphery Demographic: This shonen anime managed to capture the attention of fans of the Bara Genre by including plenty of nude scenes featuring unconventionally attractive male characters, some of which are borderline homoerotic.
• Ugly Cute: Ryotsu. Hairy monobrowed short guys shouldn't be so endearing.
• Unintentional Period Piece: Because so many stories focused on the "new" things in then-current Japanese society, you can see this trope a lot. It's really noticeable when characters talk about the latest techs, like video game consoles or phones.
