Sadly, Shaw simply [[Orphaned Series|stopped updating it at some point in 2012]], and never started up again. Its web host, gaijinmanga.com, has since completely disappeared -- not even the [[Wayback Machine]] has a copy of the comic.
A discussion about the series remains [http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148477 here] at the Giant In the Playground Forum, but like the comic, it simply stops without any warning or closure in early 2011.

{{tropelist}}
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Eve has these. She's also kinda the canine equivalent of a [[Catgirl]], her personality seeming modeled on that of a playful puppy.
* [[Disability Superpower]]: Users of the Occular Codex must sacrifice their eyes to gain power.
** Not limited to the Occular Codex, as other codexes are also known to receive disabilities in order to gain power. [https://web.archive.org/web/20190710234051/http://www.gaijinmanga.com/bibliography/main.php?ch=1&pg=16 For example], Pages of The Holy Codex (aka Angels) need to pray all the time and are forced into being Lawful.
* [[Dramatic Irony]]: With Roy's little sister. When Tony showed up to tell his parents what had happened, she comes up and babbles about how excited she is that Roy's gonna teach her how to use a paintbrush.
* [[Dumb Blond]]: [
* [[Extranormal Institute]]: The Belmont House is this, sorta.
* [[Eye Beams]]: Anthony's Lensflash.
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
[[The Chick]]/ [[Cool Big Sis]] (big eater variety)/ [[The Team Pet]]- Eve }}
* [[Flat What]]: Gloria after learning of Ben's arson in chapter 4.
* [[Hammerspace]]: [
* [[High-Class Glass]]: Thornton has one on.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: [http://gaijinmanga.com/bibliography/main.php?ch=11&pg=13#image Irons.]
* [[Invisible to Normals]]: Any aspect of a page's appearance that's out of the ordinary (angel and harpy wings, Tony's floating eyeballs, Raoul's horns) can't be seen by someone who hasn't been awakened.
* [[Lost Forever]]: No archive of the series exists anywhere.
* [[Male Gaze]]: Happens after two characters leave after some sprinklers activate. Eve is wearing a thin white shirt...

Line 61 ⟶ 63:
* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: Instead of allowing his best friend Roy to going blind, Tony awakened him and let him join the All-Seeing Codex, who all have eye-based powers. Only Roy gets injected with [[Psycho Serum|ink]] descends, and is killed, Tony losing a best friend in the process.
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Minotaurs of the Cretan codex give up their ability to navigate (i.e., the whole world becomes a labyrinth for them) in exchange for [[Super Strength]]. Notably, Raoul somehow moves from a sidewalk to a windowsill.
* [[Orphaned Series]]
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: Some of the kids at the Belmont house.
Line 71 ⟶ 74:
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Ben says this about Even when confronted by his friends about not really being around. This is odd considering that much of the time Ben spends with Eve (his only contact in the awakened world) is spent doing things that many would attribute to a dating couple.
** Although, he is honestly about it and seems to have no deeper feelings [[Heterosexual Life Partners|for her besides friendship and gratitude]]. Which would be... refreshing, in this kind of setting..
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many: [[Pokémon]], [[One Piece]], [[The Legend of Zelda]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20190710234047/http://www.gaijinmanga.com/bibliography/main.php?ch=1&pg=2 Evrae] from [[Final Fantasy X]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20190710234048/http://www.gaijinmanga.com/bibliography/main.php?ch=6&pg=8 Kamina] from [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20190710234105/http://www.gaijinmanga.com/
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Averted [[Telepathic Sprinklers]] and showed that water makes grease fires worse.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Jacques of the Lantern is part of the Candle Codex. He's [[Candle Jack]]. Good thing he's only a myth. Wait, isn't this comic ''based'' on myth.
Line 81 ⟶ 84:
* [[Throw the Book At Them]]: Bibliography is a floating encyclopedia that Ben can telikinetically control. This attack was inevitable, and was quickly dubbed the Bibliobonk. Others call it the Bookmerang.
* [[Unsound Effect]]: [http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad317/Bibliography/03-3.png Punch! Choke! Chokeslam!]
** Also, [https://web.archive.org/web/20190710234054/http://www.gaijinmanga.com/bibliography/main.php?ch=10&pg=3#image Butch!]
* [[Weirdness Censor]]: In general, being unawakened. There are also <s>artifacts</s> relics that prevent unawakened people from coming within range of certain places.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: In conception, Tony was the main character, and his third and fourth eyes were ghosts. Ben was his sidekick, and an angel. [[They Fight Crime]]
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Eve's Warg Wave.
* [[Years Too Early]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20190710234054/http://www.gaijinmanga.com/bibliography/main.php?ch=9&pg=11#image Here]. This ''is'' a shonen inspired webcomic. It was inevitable, really.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]- Eve, see image above.
