----

* [[A Love to Dismember]] - The body part in question isn't ''quite'' severed, but in one later chapter, a man {{spoiler|bricks his wife up in a wall and leaves her arm sticking out, stroking it and talking to it.}}

* [[All Just a Dream]] - Often subverted, but {{spoiler|grandly played straight in the end}}, when they find out that {{spoiler|just about everything that happened since Chitose took over as Hiruko the Baku is all a massive nightmare created by Azusa, with the help of the Delirium.}}

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]] - Several of the customers, often in conjunction with [[Love Makes You Evil]].

* [[Groundhog Day Loop]] - In one of the first chapters, this seems to be happening to a customer, who every night writes in her dream on a piece of paper "every day will be exactly the same" {{spoiler|or rather, Hiruko writes it for her, as the end of the chapter hints}}- and indeed, it is.

* [[I Found You Like This]] - Kashina is introduced as the girl who helped {{spoiler|Chitose}} survive during the time he was {{spoiler|locked up and tortured.}} When she meets him again much later, she hugs him, and then kisses him shortly afterwards. {{spoiler|Then it turns out she was imprisoned by the same people who tortured Chitose, and that she was only helping him because if he died, she'd be tortured next, making her arguably a deconstruction.}}

* [[Love Hurts]] - Happens with many of Hiruko's customers, sometimes involving the death of some person or another.

* [[Mandatory Twist Ending]] - To the point where when a chapter ends 'without' a twist of some sort, it's so surprising it practically counts as a twist in itself.

* [[Mind Screw]]
