The Quiet One: Sosaku rarely speaks up and emotes even less. He prefers to let his artwork do the talking. | |

Power Limiter | |
| Pretty Boy Detective Club / int_1dce4748 | comment |
Power Limiter: Mayumi's glasses dampen her superhuman vision. A necessary handicap because overtaxing her eyes puts her at risk of going blind. | |

Noiseless Walker | |
| Pretty Boy Detective Club / int_2bbd9d44 | comment |
Noiseless Walker: Kodaki has the uncanny ability to make absolutely no sound when she walks. The club believes she has misused it to push Manabu down a flight of stairs, but what really happened was she snuck up behind him and accidentally scared him when she tried talking to him. | |

Arc Words | |
| Pretty Boy Detective Club / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: The four cardinal rules of the Pretty Boy Detective Club are repeated throughout the story and are explored in deeper meaning with each repetition: Rule 1: Be pretty: Always look beautiful inside and out, and seek the beauty in everything. Rule 2: Be a boy: Always stay young at heart, never lose that youthful sense of wonder. Rule 3: Be a detective: Always be analytic, keep your mind open to all possibilities and never stop looking for the truth. Rule 4: Be a club: Never try and burden yourself by trying to do things on your own, remember we're a team. | |

Art Shift | |
| Pretty Boy Detective Club / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: Typical for studio shaft, The Anime switches to different styles several times across the the series, but most notably in the last episode, where Mayumi's opponent for the student council elections confronts her and admits to attempting to kill Naganao, and sneaking into the school unnoticed just so he could run for class president . during this scene, the art style changes nearly every other shot for minutes on end. | |

Mistaken for Pedophile: Subverted. Nagahiro's fiancé is in elementary school and the other members of the club are aware that it's an arranged marriage, but that doesn't stop them from teasing him over it. Especially Hyouta, who calls him "Mr. Lolicon". | |

Ridiculously Average Guy | |
| Pretty Boy Detective Club / int_c5237cf | comment |
Ridiculously Average Guy: The student body president election arc mixes this with They Look Just Like Everyone Else! to a truly disturbing effect. To wit, someone who doesn't even go to the school, and might not even be a kid, managed to infiltrate the middle school and run for president without anyone realizing he doesn't belong, all because of how easily he blends into the crowd. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Pretty Boy Detective Club / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The treatment of Mayumi eye condition may be a nod to the Princess from Andersen's The Shadow, whose "disease" of being too sharp-sighted made everyone around her very uneasy. | |
