* ComingOfAgeStory: Many of his stories, often the delayed version or having multiple characters help each other through their own journeys.
* MentalHealthRecoveryArc: Many of his protagonists have some pre-series trauma or emotional baggage which they need to overcome. Yuuhi of ''Biscuit Hammer'' is probably the least subtle example in Mizukami's entire corpus, with his abuse at the hands of his grandfather causing him to regularly hallucinate about being bound by chains.

His works are explicitly not a single {{Verse}} however, as they have also showed up within each other in the form of [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe fiction]].

* RousseauWasRight: Mizukami's antagonists are almost never 100% evil, having been set on their path through mistreatment or a twisted desire to help others, and even the most depraved show at least a ''possibility'' of redemption. More than once he's introduced a hero and a villain who are actually the same person at different points in life (in [[FallenHero both]] [[TheAtoner directions]]).

Outside of one-shots, Mizukami's style is best described as "unassuming" - his art is rarely spectacular, and his plots often start out with generic scenarios more akin to {{shounen}} than {{seinen}}.

This extends from the small scale with effective framing and use of panels, up to the large scale with narratives that feel increasingly guided by the characters rather than the other way around (while still working in plentiful {{Foreshadowing}} and {{Foil}}s to tie everything back to the story's CentralTheme).

! Tropes common to Mizukami's works:
* BreakingTheFellowship: Whatever way [[CastHerd the cast is initially broken up]] it will rarely be the same by the end, with heroes parting ways or villains showing unexpected sympathy for their cause.
* MagnumOpus: ''Manga/TheLuciferAndBiscuitHammer'', ''Manga/SengokuYouko'' and ''Manga/SpiritCircle'' compete for this spot, being collectively known as Mizukami's "Big Three". Out of these, his most ''polished'' work is generally considered to be ''Manga/SpiritCircle'', due to its format (a boy flashing back to his past lives and seeing how each one impacted the next) combining Mizukami's one-shot and long-form storytelling modes in a way that compensates for his stories' occasional pacing issues.
* ShowWithinAShow: Some of his older works reappear in newer ones as fiction. This includes Sensei from ''Anime/PlanetWith'' owning figures of Samidare and Anima from ''Manga/TheLuciferAndBiscuitHammer'', and ''Biscuit Hammer'' itself depicting a version of [[MagicalGirlWarrior Magical Mary]] (from the one-shot ''The Great Natsugorou'') as an anime watched by the characters.
* StealthSequel: {{Downplayed}}. Some of his manga have hints that they take place in the same world as others, but so far apart that it has little actual impact on the story. E.g. Shinsuke from the HistoricalFantasy ''Manga/SengokuYouko'' is implied to be the ancestor of some characters from the UrbanFantasy ''Daily Life in Monster Town'' shorts, and the MedievalEuropeanFantasy ''World End Solte'' has sneaky references to a number of Mizukami's one-shots which took place in similar settings.
