Heroic BSoD: Kurokawa in Chapter 5 as she is cast out by her Otaku friends. Luckily, Fujishiro breaks her out of this by dragging her away. Another one in Chapter 8 as she and Fujishiro are caught in the disciplinary check. Gets broken by Fujishiro hitting the teacher with her bag. Kurokawa again in Chapter 10 after being on the receiving end of Miki's "The Reason You Suck" Speech. This time, it is Izumi that breaks her out of it. Fujishiro has one in Chapter 11 after finding out that Kurokawa in the past has also comforted Akazawa in a similar way to her, meaning that she is not special. She runs away in response instead of going home together with Kurokawa and Akazawa. Izumi finds her and breaks her out of it.

Ironic Echo: At the start of the series, after Hiro dumps his girlfriend Fujishiro, Kurokawa tells Fujishiro that "Anyone would feel sad when the person they love says such horrible things to them!" In Chapter 35, Kurokawa's words come back to her in a flashback, helping her realize how much she hurt Fujishiro by pushing her away after the latter made a Love Confession to her.

Brutal Honesty: Fujishiro is not shy to admit that if it was her instead of Kurokawa, she would have told her friends about finding out that the girl looking down on her has been dumped by a guy. Likewise, she was secretly happy that Kurokawa has been pushed out by her friends, as this meant that Kurokawa and her could become closer.

comment
Bully Turned Buddy: Fujishiro goes from being one of Kurokawa's tormentors to one of her closest friends. The trope is deconstructed, however, in that people don't simply forget about Fujishiro's past mistreatment of Kurokawa, and the lingering repercussions put a strain on their friendship.

Oblivious to Hatred: In the early chapters, Fujishiro doesn't realize that Kurokawa still hates her for bullying her, assuming that Kurokawa comforting her after her breakup was meant as an act of kindness. Over time, however, the two girls do become friends.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Fujishiro is not Easily Forgiven for bullying Kurokawa. While her desire to befriend Kurokawa is genuine, several other characters continue to hold her accountable for her actions, and Kurokawa is initially bitter about the bullying. When Kurokawa and Fujishiro end up wearing makeup to school, they get caught in the morning inspection, unlike how many anime and manga characters get away with violating the dress code. When Fujishiro loses her temper and bashes the teacher on the head, she gets suspended for a week.

Because You Were Nice to Me: Kurokawa ends up befriending Fujishiro and Akazawa this way- the former by comforting her after her boyfriend dumps her, and the latter by offering to let her read manga at the Kurokawa house. In Fujishiro's case, Kurokawa even succeeds without even intending to, since she still hated Fujishiro at the time.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Fujishiro gets one from Hiro when she confronts him over two-timing her, and shows him Izumi's picture of him with another girl. Kurokawa gets a vicious one from Miki when the latter is badmouthing Fujishiro. In Chapter 28, Maho gives one to Fujishiro, calling her out over her past treatment of Kurokawa, as well as her staying angry with Miki over the latter's treatment of Kurokawa.

comment
Second Love: Izumi was once in love with her best friend Yukari, and after Yukari jokingly described Izumi as her girlfriend, Izumi asked her out. When Yukari's reaction showed that she wasn't serious, Izumi tried to play it off as a joke, but their friendship never recovered.

Bathroom Stall of Overheard Insults: A variation happens in a flashback in Chapter 33. Kurokawa is using the bathroom when she overhears two girls gossiping about Fujishiro. She lampshades the trope by thinking that they should have checked to see whether anyone was in the stall before insulting Fujishiro.

Fatal Flaw: Kurokawa's most frequent issue is her poor self-esteem and how she tends to put Fujishiro on a pedestal, even while she hated Fujishiro. As a result, it's difficult for her to see Fujishiro as an equal or get closer to her, and she rejects Fujishiro's Love Confession for this reason.

Armor-Piercing Response: In Chapter 10, Izumi intervenes to help Kurokawa, and Miki demands to know what Izumi means. Izumi then tells Miki that "Taking it out on [Kurokawa] isn't going to make Nanaki come back." All Miki can do is demand an explanation as Izumi and Kurokawa walk away. Once they've left, Izumi tells Kurokawa that Miki still admires Fujishiro, and thus can't accept how Fujishiro has changed. In Chapter 28, Maho encounters Fujishiro and asks her to apologize to Miki so that they can be friends again, only for Fujishiro to insist that Miki has to apologize to Kurokawa for bullying her. Maho then says, "What're you on about? Miki was just repeating what you used to say," leaving Fujishiro at a loss for words.

Oh, Crap!: Fujishiro gets two in somewhat rapid succession in Chapter 24. The first is when, after hearing that the students with scores below 30 will have to take supplemental lessons, she checks her paper and sees that she got a 19. The second is when she reports to the lessons, and sees that the only other person there is her former friend Miki.

Last-Name Basis: Fujishiro and Kurokawa call each other by their last names for the entirety of the series. In fact, when Izumi, whom Kurokawa has just met, proposes using first names, Kurokawa realizes Fujishiro is the only person close to her who calls her "Kurokawa." This changes in a post-series extra chapter, in which Fujishiro insists that they start using first names instead.

Jerkass: Fujishiro starts off this way, looking down on and making fun of Kurokawa for being plain. Hiro's revealed as this. He's not only unrepentant when confronted with evidence of his cheating but even mocks Fujishiro. Miki continues to be this for much of the story, turning against Fujishiro as she befriends Kurokawa and possibly becoming even crueler to Kurokawa over time.

Innocently Insensitive: Kurokawa asking Fujishiro in Chapter 12 whether she is mad at her and complaining that they had not really talked to one another since the end of Fujishiro's suspension leads to Fujishiro snapping at her that this is due to Akazawa always being around Kurokawa since yesterday - the day her suspension ended and Akazawa transferred in. In the next chapter, Kurokawa wonders why Fujishiro is again cold to her, not realising that her rejecting a First-Name Basis with Fujishiro during lunch break - resulting in Fujishiro being the only one with her on a Last-Name Basis - might have something to do with it.
