Tropes used in Chibisan Date include:

• All There in the Manual: Sujanta and Rocket have only appeared on the author's blog.
• Bishonen: Every male character.
• The Blank: The girl in chapter three is drawn without a face for the most of it, except till the end.
• Hair Decorations: Chibisan, Margaret, Candy, and Sujanta. Basically every single girl.
• Hollywood New England: The setting is mainly on Nantucket Island, just off the coast from Massachusetts. Which some might also recognize as America's ahoge.
• Genki Girl: Margaret. Of course, Candy has her moments.
• Girlish Pigtails: Chibisan has them, which just bumps up the cuteness factor a couple more notches.
• Moe: Seiji. Chibisan too.
  • So are Margaret, Candy, Sujanta, and just about any young person in the series. Himaruya's style tends to do that.
• Most Artists Are Artists: The main character, Seiji, is an artist, and so is everyone else. (Suehiro makes pottery, Maragret likes to write, etc.)
• Those Two Guys: Darwit and Artan
• Token Mini-Moe: The series' mascot, Chibisan.
• Tomboy: Word of God states that Margaret is one of these.
• Series Mascot: Chibisan
• Spell My Name with an "S": Minor. Chibi-san Date or Chibisan-Date or Chibisan Date? Even the official spellings are inconsistent.
• The Stoic: Suehiro-san doesn't have many facial expressions.
• True Art Is Incomprehensible: Margaret is said to have such an extraordinary writing style that no one except her understands it.
• Unlucky Childhood Friend: Yuriko.
• White-Haired Pretty Boy: Crumb.
