This manga provides examples of:

 * Action Girl: Irie and Sakuya.
 * Blow You Away: One reason Gurelli takes Shiki under his wing is because of his ablity to see wind patterns, which he observed when
 * Boy Meets Girl: More like Boy Meets Girl Who Tells Boy To Get Off Of Her Seat.
 * Calling Your Attacks
 * Celibate Hero: From the looks of it, Irie.
 * Chaste Hero: Shiki.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: EVERY. SINGLE. BATTLE.
 * Expy: Shiki looks like Gray, but acts like Natsu.
 * Irie looks like a tomboyish Lucy, and Kuron looks like Seig Hart or an older Leon.
 * Fan Service
 * Four Temperament Ensemble: Shiki - s, - c, Sakuya - m, Irie - p.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords
 * Hopeless Suitor: Kuron for Irie.
 * Girlish Pigtails: Irie. The ribbons quite possibly double as nekomimi, at least, according to Shiki.
 * Love Triangle: Kuron think he has this with Shiki and Irie. He couldn't be more wrong.
 * Meaningful Name: Like all of Mashima's heroes who are named after a season, Shiki is no exception - his name means "four seasons."
 * Nakama
 * Parental Abandonment: Shiki is an orphan, Irie lost her father, and Sakuya's father went missing  and her mother died.
 * The Power of Friendship
 * Power Trio: Shiki (Id), Irie (Ego), and Sakuya (Superego).
 * The Rival: Kuron sees Shiki as a love rival for Irie, though it is both a one-sided rivalry and a one-sided love.
 * Ship Tease: Shiki/Irie, Kuron/Irie, Shiki/Sakuya... Even Kuron/Sakuya. Yeah, pretty much any time anybody gets screen time with someone else. It's probably because there is no Official Couple in the series.
 * Shounen
 * Shrinking Violet: Sakuya.
 * Spell My Name With an S: Kuron or Kowloon?
 * Sequel Hook: At the end they are seen going off on a quest with new armor and their weapons upgraded.
 * Tsundere: Irie.
 * Yamato Nadeshiko: Sakuya.
 * This is what Kuron thinks Irie is -- he thinks she's "just shy." She's just not interested.
