In the popular game Attack Families (a.k.a. Atafami/TackFam), Fumiya Tomozaki is the best gamer in Japan. However, in real life, he's a loser with no friends and a poor opinion of the "game" of real life. But one day, he plays a match against a player who's almost as good as him, and when they meet up in real life, he is shocked to discover that he had been playing against Aoi Hinami, the most popular girl in school.

The Friends Who Never Hang | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_1ed73929 | comment |
The Friends Who Never Hang: Lampshaded in Volume 6 when Tomozaki finds himself being the common connection between Takei, Tama-chan, and Izumi as the four of them walk home from school. Because the three of them all normally hang out in different cliques, this turns out to be the first time they actually have real conversations with each other. | |

Bland-Name Product: Attack Families is clearly based off of Super Smash Bros.. Averted in other instances, as Starbucks is freely named, as are social networking systems such as Twitter, Instagram, and LINE. Played straight in Volume 10 when the whole gang goes to Osaka for Unlimited Space Japan and also partake in the on-site Yontendo attractions. | |

Mistaken for Cheating | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_2d7ef923 | comment |
Mistaken for Cheating: One of the stories in Volume 6.5 features Izumi panicking that Nakamura is cheating on her since she spotted him shopping with another girl. It eventually turns out that he was trying to figure out what to buy for her birthday, and the girl in question was Gumi-chan, who he asked along due to wanting a female's opinion on gifts, and he only knows her due to being one of Mizusawa's coworkers at the karaoke bar. Much more dramatically in Volume 8, Kikuchi runs off in tears in the ending when she notices Tomozaki's phone buzz thanks to receiving a sexually charged text from Atafami player Rena. This was after she was already under the impression that he valued his Atafami career and acquaintances much more than their relationship. | |

Shipper on Deck | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_31da1e24 | comment |
Shipper on Deck: A big chunk of Volumes 3 and 4 revolves around most of the characters conspiring to get Nakamura and Izumi to hook up since it's obvious they both secretly like each other. In Volume 5, Mizusawa makes up a nonsensical excuse to go find Mimimi and Tama in the girls' bathroom and then goes home instead so that Tomozaki and Kikuchi can have some alone time together walking home. | |

| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_340575a7 | comment |
Girl on Girl Is Hot: Lampshaded by Tomozaki in Volume 1, when Mimimi plays up her touchy-feely antics with Hinami in the classroom in front of everyone, and when they finally stop to take their seats, he thinks to himself the hot girl-on-girl action is over. | |

| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_44a1dd10 | comment |
King Incognito: In Volume 8, once Tomozaki starts attending offline Atafami meetups with Hinami, the latter only introduces herself with her first name as "Aoi-san," and plays against challengers pretending to be an unknown but very skilled amateur player. Nobody ever realizes she's NO NAME, the 2nd-best player on the Japanese leaderboards, also in part because she never uses her usual character Found, which would instantly unmask her as NO NAME due to her unique playstyle. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: The Minami Nanami Wants to Shine spinoff manga diverges from the main storyline when Mimimi opts not to run for the student council presidential election (which originally took place in Volume 2) and instead takes up her mother Keiko's offer to become an amateur model for the "Prologue" makeup brand. And additionally, because Mimimi doesn't run for the election, Tomozaki ends up becoming Hinami's campaign manager instead of being Mimimi's as he was in the original storyline. | |

Wham Line: The end of Volume 6 forces Tomozaki to face an uncomfortable fact: Volume 8's ending easily manages to top the above when Kikuchi reads the worst possible text on Tomozaki's phone. | |

Always Second Best | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_4f4e43cc | comment |
Always Second Best: Minimi always comes behind Aoi in both grades and sports. Turns out this really bugs her, to the point that she quits the track club since she can't put up with the stress of trying to surpass her and the envy she feels as a result. She's thankfully talked into re-joining by Tomozaki and Tama. | |

Lack of Empathy | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_658f7193 | comment |
Lack of Empathy: Her obsession with living a perfect life and being number one has clearly affected Aoi's sense of this; when coaching Tomozaki, she describes him making friends and getting Kikuchi as a girlfriend as "goals" and "objectives", never considering his own feelings on the matter and coming off as dissociative of the people she's involving in his various tasks. This comes to a head in Episode 11 when he tells her that he didn't confess to Kikuchi like she told him to because, while he does like her, he's not a hundred percent sure if it's genuine, and wants to genuinely bond with her and the others instead of doing it as part of some daily tasks. Aoi, instead of seeing his point, seems to take this as a sign that he's planning on throwing away all of the progress he's made in spite of his words to the contrary. | |

The Reveal | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: In Volume 10, Hinami finally drops her social facade enough to tell Tomozaki about the death of her youngest sister Nagisa when she wandered out onto the street and was hit by a car, and that she had also been going through some major school bullying at the time, so she doesn't know if any mental trauma from said bullying could have made her suicidal or if it was truly just an unfortunate accident. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: Volume 7 has Gumi-chan on the front cover of the book. Given that all other volumes have strong focus on each one's cover girl, it would be reasonable to think that Gumi-chan would have some important role in the volume. But her presence in the entire novel comes out to only a few paragraphs and she does nothing of importance. At least the Japanese special edition of that volume has Kikuchi on the cover, who is crucial to its narrative. | |

| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_868409c | comment |
Broken Pedestal: When Aoi, as NO NAME, kept losing to nanashi, she grows to admire him because, since she put a lot of effort into both her real life and Tackfam, she's quick to assume that the reason for this is that nanashi was even more of a hard worker than she was. In reality, the reason Tomozaki, as nanashi, is so good is that he basically gave up on real life to focus on the game, meaning she ends up sorely disappointed when they meet in real life. | |

Hollywood Homely: Invoked. After she invites Tomozaki to her home and takes off her make-up, Aoi becomes completely unrecognizable to him, which she uses to demonstrate how a bit of effort can change one's looks. However, his reaction is confusing in the anime, where Aoi's face looks exactly the same with or without make-up. | |

Irony: Tomozaki comes to a truly ironic realization in Volume 6's ending that Mizusawa may act like a playboy but he's honest about his intentions towards girls and everything he is doing is focused on winning Hinami's affections, while Tomozaki himself is the one who pretends to be sincere but is actually leading both Kikuchi and Mimimi on, inadvertently playing with their hearts because he won't choose a girl to commit to, and hiding behind his lack of self-esteem as an excuse to procrastinate. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The fantasy writer Kikuchi is a huge fan of, Michael Andi, is a clear Homage to German fantasy writer Michael Ende. In Volume 8, Tomozaki thinks to himself the sheer nervousness radiating out of Kikuchi when they run into Nakamura and Izumi reminds him of Bonobono the sea otter. In Volume 8.5, the whole gang enjoys a karaoke party that features many real-life hit Jpop songs (full playlist here): Mimimi starts off with "Let's Go! Thief Girls" from Momoiro Clover Znote This song is generally better known in English as "Let's Go! Phantom Girls" as the kanji 怪盗 kaitou means Phantom Thief "Love So Sweet" by Arashi "We Are!", the very first opening theme of One Piece "Lucid Dreamer" by ONE OK ROCK "Pretender" by Official HIGE DANdism "Chocolate Disco" by Perfume "AM11:00" by HY "Gray and Blue" by Kenshi Yonezu & Masaki Suda "Midday Sun" by King GNU "Gurenge" by LiSa, the opening theme of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba "Marigold" by Aimyon "Unfit for Love" by Koresawa "366 Days" by HY "Sparkle" by RADWIMPS from Your Name "Wherever You Are" by ONE OK ROCK Chapter 8 of the main series manga adaptation is titled "Solo Leveling!" | |

No Name Given | |

No Name Given: Tomozaki's little sister's first name hasn't been mentioned in the series so far. Same thing with Takei, whose first name is never mentioned. | |

Hair Color Dissonance | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_d249fb0f | comment |
Hair Color Dissonance: An invoked case in regards to Kikuchi, who is specifically stated to have black hair when she is first introduced but is portrayed as having silver hair everywhere else. As the author explains in a tweet, this was done deliberately to show the audience how she appears from Tomozaki's perspective. | |

Everyone Can See It | |

A big chunk of Volumes 3 and 4 revolves around most of the characters conspiring to get Nakamura and Izumi to hook up since it's obvious they both secretly like each other. | |

Male Gaze | |
| Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki / int_dfb71617 | comment |
Male Gaze: The anime is full of camera shots focusing on Aoi's legs and rear, and Tomozaki's little sister is introduced legs-first in almost ever scene she's in. In the light novels, Tomozaki's inner dialogue frequently comments on how smoking hot the girls he interacts with are, often commenting on their figures and fashion choices. The sole exception is whenever he's with Kikuchi, where he instead often uses High Fantasy-related metaphors to describe her ethereal beauty and otherworldly peacefulness. The author of the story, Yuuki Yaku, often uses each novel's afterword to gush over how sexy the girl on the front cover is and heap praise on Fly, the series artist and character designer. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Tomozaki frequently has to remind himself not to stare at Izumi's breasts. | |
