=== This work contains examples of: ===
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Kousuke's father does a ''lot'' of harsh things in what little screen time he has.
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Kousuke's father.
* [[Attempted Rape]]: Himiko saved herself from one.
* [[Bland -Name Product]]: For example, the [[Xbox 360|DXBOX 720]]. The volume covers intentionally look like the covers for video games as well, complete with [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERO |CERO ratings]] (Japanese equivalent of the ESRB).
** One of the characters wears a sweater for [[Sex and Thethe City|Sex and the Town]]
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: Shiki Murasaki
* [[Booby Trap]]: Since the game is based on using various kinds of explosives and ordnance, this tactic is used very frequently.

* [[Morally -Ambiguous Doctorate]]: {{spoiler|So morally ambiguous that he was sent to the island ''twice''.}}
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Himiko, most of her panel time consists of some action (usually bad for her) that will force a suggestive pose on the girl; while grovelling in pain or fainting, Himiko will have her bossom, legs or bottom in great view for the reader. Then Junya stepped into the next level, by making an Artbook with a bikini-clad Himiko doing all sorts of poses for a fictional photo shot. She even got a bomb bounced off her chest.
