• Crowning Moment of Funny: Huo Long crossdressing as Kurumi. Di Long's reaction is what sells it.
• Ho Yay: Hakuron and Fuuron's first meeting dripped with this.
• Narm: People have laughed their butts off after merely reading plot summaries about this series. Um, yeah.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • Aside of Shinjou's Rape Tropes? Considering that Haou Airen is Darker and Edgier compared to other mangas of hers, the amount of violent scenes can get very high.
  • Also, no matter what you think of this manga, there is a scene that fits here perfectly: Reilan's bloody death at the end of Hakuron's pistol. The Gory Discretion Shots and their aversions were very well paced and made the scene genuinely terrifying.
• So Bad It's Good: It's actually so cheesy, over-the-top and ridiculously overblown, that some people specifically read it to have a laugh. Oops?
• Tear Jerker: Reilan's Thanatos Gambit. Specially for the devistating effects on poor Kurumi.
  • YMMV hugely on that, but Hakuron's death counts on that as well if you see it as Redemption Equals Death.
• What Could Have Been: Was almost licensed by Viz Media for release in North America.
  • Also, the whole Drama CD is about what would've happened if Hakuron had not died.
• The Woobie: Huo Long, the most sympathetic of Hakuron's group.
  • Kurumi. Holy crap, Kurumi. Maybe one of the biggest woobies EVER created by Shinjou, no matter whether she intended it or not... That poor girl really needs hugs.
