Line 18:
* [[Bi The Way]]: Kazumi shows sexual interest towards each other member of the cast, but it is stronger towards Ryouta, much possibly because everyone else is straight and he is the only male.
* [[Blessed With Suck]]: Skadi's powers are worth nothing to her because they cause irreversible damage to her body every time they're used.
* [[Blood From the Mouth]]: If magic users don't take their pills, this is the first signal of the death waiting to happen.
* [[Bragging Theme Tune]]: Kuroha creates hers own in-universe.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: All the {{spoiler|magic users}} come prebroken for your convenience. You could think that further breaking is on the menu and we wouldn't blame you for it, anyways.
* [[Breath Weapon]]: Kikako's power is to shoot energy beams from her mouth.
* [[Brilliant But Lazy]]: Kogorou refused to join institutions overseas because he simply don't wants to move too much. He already considers going to Tokyo too much work.
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Kazumi is half-Austrian.
* [[Cast from Hit Points]]: Skadi's powers magic powers damage her body irreversibly.
* [[Catch a Falling Star]]: Subverted. Kuroneko grabbing Ryouta's hand only leads to her falling too, and apparently kills her while he survives.
* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: {{spoiler|Kuroha and Ryouta, since she is Kuroneko after all}}.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: What almost everyone thought Kuroneko was for believing the Earth has been take over by aliens.
* [[Cosplay Cafe]]: Kazumi and Ryouta visit one in Akibahara as part of their "date".
Line 29 ⟶ 33:
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Not even Ryouta can resist Kotori's....tracts of land.
* [[Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: Kuroha injures Ryouta in an arm-wrestling match.
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Kotori has strawberry blonde hair, the lowest grades of the group and poor sense.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: {{spoiler|The horrendous thing that remains when a magic user is destroyed with her Harnessed's down-left button gives all vibes of this. Might be an alien life form that parasites the magic users' bodies and gives them their powers, but this is unconfirmed.}}
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Kana, complete with [[Princess Curls]].
* [[Explosive Leash]]: The second button on the Harness is this by default, but the organization implants a beacon on the witches they send to activate it remotely if they desire to.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: {{spoiler|Valkyria looks exactly like Kuroha but with white hair and blue eyes, and has a different, sadistic personality}}.
* [[Fake Memories]]: One of the magicians have the power to eat memories and give to her victims the memories she wants them to have.
Line 38 ⟶ 44:
* [[Gainax Bounce]]: Kotori, to such a point Kazumi even asks if her breasts are real.
* [[Gorn]]: Okamoto indulges in this each time more and more; just compare the post-accident Ryouta in episode 1 to {{spoiler|the fight with Saori in chapter 9}}.
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: The reason why asking the japanese authorities for help is pointless.
* [[Gratuitous German]]: Kazumi seemed to be an in-universe example, giving herself an german surname and talking german after transferring to Ryouta's school. Then subverted when she reveals she's half-austrian.
* [[Harem Hero]] Ryouta is a justified Type 1 since he's only a [[Muggle]], though he compensates that with his sharp mind.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]:The anime BD versions show nipples.
* [[I'm Dying, Please Take My MacGuffin]]: Akane gives Kuroha a bag and says to her to remember she's the only one who can save the world from "ruin" before dying.
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Names and appearance are similar, but Kuroha doesn't have the moles on her armpit. And, of course, Kuroneko died when she was a child, and we only see Kuroha as a teenager. {{spoiler|Averted later when both the audience and Ryouta discover her moles just changed places in her body as she grew}}.
Line 45 ⟶ 53:
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Everytime Kuroha uses her powers, she loses a part of her memory.}}
* [[Leotard of Power]]: Saori wears one.
* [[Ludicrous Gibs]]: Lots and lots of it.
* [[Mercy Kill]]: Kana asks for this after the house where she and Kuroha lives burns down along with the pills they need to continue to live.
* [[Mind Over Matter]]: Kuroha isn't actually super-strong like it was implicated at first: she has telekinetic powers. It is more clear in the anime than in the manga because a certain scene where Kuroha don't seems to move but things still get crushed happen first.
* [[More Hero Than Thou]]: The fact the pills are limited for the witches makes it a constant question.
* [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]: The parasites that inhabit the magician's bodies.
* [[Mysterious Transfer Student]]: Kuroha's arrival sets the whole plot in motion.
* [[Nerds Are Virgins]]: Kazumi seems to have that belief, at least towards people that buy eroges.
* [[Nipple And Dimed]]: The manga and TV version of the anime play it straight. The BD version of the anime averts it.
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Kuroha Neko, that affirms to have magical powers.
* [[Not a Date]]: Kazumi really wants her and Ryouta's visit to Akibahara to be like one.
Line 59 ⟶ 70:
** Kuroneko slowly loses her memories every time she uses her powers.
* [[Power Incontinence]]: Kuroha and Kana need to eat special pills or otherwise their bodies will decay because their own powers begin to rip them apart.
* [[Prophecy Twist]]: Kana's prophecy about Kotori is just a little wrong. {{spoiler|Kotori is smiling not because she is happy about killing the person dead in Kana's vision, but because that is her default response to a horrible, traumatic event}}.
* [[Psychic Nosebleed]]: Subverted, it is actually the first symptom before an horrible case of [[Power Incontinence]] begins to destroy the magician's bodies from the inside.
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Kuroha is able to use this on Ryouta just by staring at him and crying because the art style already makes her eyes big.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Kotori, to the point it hides her Harness.
* [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]]: Saori has this as part of her power.
* [[Running Gag]]:
** People making comments about Kotori's weight. Even more hilarious because she is incredibly hot and don't looks fat all.
** Ryouta talking or even thinking about Kazumi's breasts and how they aren't impressive. And then Kazumi hitting him.
* [[Scary Teeth]]: Kikako has sharp,shark-like teeth.
* [[Scry vs. Scry]]: Though it's more like Kana's group vs Skadi, since Kana isn't all that smart.
* [[Seers]]:
** {{spoiler|Kana is one.}}
Line 74 ⟶ 91:
** Kazumi tempts and then makes Ryouta sees her bare breasts without a care in the world. Hell, her whole behaviour seems to revolve sexual topics.
** Nanami's way of attracting attention is by lifting her skirt. it is an effective method but it seems...suspicious. Then she strips in public to attract attention when Kurofuku tells her she can't lift her skirt.
* [[Skinship Grope]]: Oh Kazumi, you're such a naughty girl towards your female friends...
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: The manga begins with Kuroha bleeding on the floor and Ryouta stabbing her, screaming "If only you didn't exist.. If only you have stayed dead!". All of this in a desolated and annihilated landscape, with the shadow of a girl watching the scene the only extra detail. Knowing the [[Elfen Lied|author]], [[It Got Worse|this can't possibly end well]].
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: All magical users seem to have normal, fragile human bodies.
* [[Straw Misogynist]]: Kogorou affirms he isn't married because he thinks women are stupid...towards a bunch of young girls. No wonder why his sister seems to dislike him.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Kuroha ''makes a song'' about how indirect kisses don't matter at all.
Line 87 ⟶ 106:
* [[The Dreaded]]: Kikako is an AA+ magician who sets the other magicians in fear just by hearing her name.
* [[The Masquerade]]: Enforced to such a point that heroes can benefit from it because the mysterious organization that creates magicians don't would dare to make a move who could risk the masquerade's existence.
* [[The Quiet One]]: Kikao don't talks a lot.
* [[The Needs of the Many]]: Kuroha says to Ryouta to not leave the observatory after he decides to not miss the bus because if he did ride the bus, a lot of more people would die from a failing boulder that if he just walked to his destiny.
* {{spoiler|[[Time Master]]: Saori's second power is to revert time back for one minute.}}
Line 95 ⟶ 115:
* [[Truth in Television]]: In chapter 6, it's revealed that {{spoiler|Kazumi's magic is her capability to factor very large integers with ease, and that makes her capable of breaking security of many systems. Then again, the [[Techno Babble|explanation and theory exposed]] in the chapter would make mathematicians and cryptographers cringe.}}
* [[Undead Tax Exemption]]: Kuroha can only attend school because she knows a ''very'' skillful hacker.
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Kikako isn't very smart and her attack is very straightforward, but the power of that one attack is incredibly destructive.
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: Yuki's web history leaves little to deduce.
* [[You Are Number Six]]: The organization refers to magic users by number rather than name.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]:
** Kuroha's hair is either dark blue or [[Shiny Midnight Black]] while Ryouta's hair is light green.
