* ApocalypticLog: Surprisingly given the setting, but also downplayed. The most exact events of what's going on are told from a little girl's diary, and so it's not explicit at all what's going on. While it's not a normal example of an apocalyptic log, since the end hasn't technically happened in them, they do tell a story of things getting worse, but, at the times Jericho arrives, the dark events ''aren’t over yet''.

* ForgetsToEat: Jericho. WordOfGod, this started out as the author lampeshading the lack of eating scenes. And then the Author deconstructed this trope; Jericho almost dies because of this. In fact, the only way to get Jericho to remember to eat is for him to be borderline dying.
