{{tropelist}}
* [[Compensated Dating]]: Saki engages on this to gain more money to buy fashion accessories. Let's just say the limits between "dating" and "prostitution" are crossed quickly.
* [[Could Have Avoided This Plot]]/[[For Want of a Nail]]: Saki could have prevented much of the horrible ordeal that ensues in the story had she simply chosen to walk away early on. Or had other people tried to act remotely altruistic rather than abuse or scorn her.
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: As part of her proverbial transformation, Saki tries to make herself into this. Eventually, she not only becomes increasingly unrecognizable to her old schoolmates. But as time passes, her attempts to look fashionable devolve into looking like a cheap prostitute and eventually, a homeless one.
* [[Deconstruction]]: The manga is arguable one to more than a few hentai doujin tropes, showing in graphic detail what would actually happen in real life, especially when taken to their logical conclusion.
Line 23:
** Saki evidently makes more than a few bad choices on who to trust or turn to over the course of the story, which only get her even further into trouble. Her fling with Hayato, who shows himself to be an obvious bastard, is just the tip of the iceberg.
** {{spoiler|Saki's mother judges her husband was "seduced" by Saki and scolds her over the incestuous acts between the two instead of, you know, calling the police}}.
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: Whether it's the people exploiting Saki or the cold disdain, apathy and outright disgust from others (even her old classmates), similarly to its inspiration the manga paints society at large as being complicit in her worsening plight. {{Spoiler|As well as her demise, a victim of a cruel, uncaring world.}}
* [[It Gets Worse]]: The whole story gets worse for Saki. {{Spoiler|And it ''never'' gets better for her.}}
* [[Love At First Sight]]: And portrayed very negatively. Saki kisses, has sex and consumes drugs with a guy she met for the first time on the same day.
* [[Meganekko]]: Saki at the beginning of the story.
* [[Porn with Plot|Plot with Porn]]: The story is very heavy on the (dark) plot, with the porn intended to shock rather than titillate.
* [[Rage Against the Reflection]]: Near of the end, Saki looks at herself on the mirror of a bathroom and crushes it in impotent rage.
* [[Reality Ensues]]: On top of being dark, the manga is infamous for how it tries to be a little ''too'' realistic in showing the consequences of Saki's actions and proverbial transformation.
