Wrong Genre Savvy | |
Is It Tough Being A Friend / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Ichiro is determined to just be a supporting side character and even mentions side charactering other people in the past but circumstances keep pushing him into the protagonist role in spite of his denial. | |

Lethal Chef: Shiori. It doesn't help that she puts in... unorthodox ingredients like gemstones, pearls, and even a smartphone she accidentally dropped in. | |

School Play | |
Is It Tough Being A Friend / int_66cef86d | comment |
School Play: When Kobayashi Ichiro was in kindergarten, he was in one for Momotarō. Instead of playing a standard character from the tale, he played a frilled-lizard due to allowing all the students of the extra large class to have a part. During the play, he did some improv, going off-script and had his character die protecting the Momotaro character. When he heard the praises to him of helping the one who played Momotaro to shine, it awakened his desire to be a "supporter". | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
Is It Tough Being A Friend / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: As part of his Plucky Comic Relief guise Ichiro acts like a perverted clueless goofball when in reality he's very aware of the supernatural goings-on that Ryuuga and his potential love interests are in. | |

Is It Tough Being A Friend / int_a8217606 | comment |
Sweet Polly Oliver: As it turns out, Ryuuga is actually a girl who was raised as a boy as per family tradition. This naturally throws Ichiro's plans for a loop since it changes their relationship (as well as Ryuuga's potential harem) quite a bit. | |

Supporting Protagonist: Ichiro Kobayashi acts as the "Slice of Life Locked Out of the Loop best Unwitting Muggle Friend" to Ryuuga Hinomori, viewing 'em as their world's protagonist and himself as a side character. | |

Is It Tough Being A Friend / int_ca04edd6 | comment |
Charles Atlas Superpower : Ichiro demonstrates several insane abilities and feats throughout the story, even though he is an "ordinary character". Unlike the other examples, this is instantly recognized as superhuman abilities the instant anyone witnesses them, whether their enemies, apostles, or their friends. | |
