* [[Animated Adaptation]]: Adapted from a novel.
Line 45 ⟶ 42:
* [[Freak-Out]]: Mima, coming home at the end of a particular traumatic day after filming a rape scene, finds her beloved pet fish dead, and loses control for a moment, trashing her apartment.

* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: When Mima's ''Double Bind'' character is manhandled and raped by a rowdy crowd, the actor playing said rapist quietly stammers out "I'm so sorry" between takes.
* [[The Mirror Shows Your True Self]]: {{spoiler|In the final confrontation between Mima and her alter ego, both Mima and the audience see the alter ego as the phantom [[Idol Singer]] Mima that has been haunting Mima. Only the mirror reflection shows the truth — that it's really Rumi dressed up as Mima.}}
* [[Napoleon Delusion]]: Non-Napoleon example: {{spoiler|Rumi, Mima's manager, increasingly comes to believe that she is Mima.}}
* [[Never Found the Body]]: {{spoiler|Seems to be the case with Me-Mania at first, then subverted pretty hard.}}
* [[Nightmare Face]]: This is pretty much Me-Mania's default expression.
* [[Not Himself]]: {{spoiler|Both Mima and Rumi.}}
* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]

* [[Strip Club]]: In the [[Show Within a Show]] ''Double Bind'', the protagonist Mina plays a stripper who is gang-raped in the middle of a striptease within the club. The protagonist is not very mentally stable, and begins to hallucinate while the scene is being filmed.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: The show-within-a-show ''Double Bind'' features abundant sex and violence and [[Follow the Leader|borrows rather heavily]] from other well-known psychological thrillers.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Mima, despite having short hair.
