* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Most of the villains of the story, except Millicent Bluenight, are one-dimensional. They don't have any depth nor real reason to their actions, being evil because of the sake of being evil. They solely serve to be the typical bad guys that Komari and the others must stop at all costs. It doesn't help that all of them are quickly defeated, so their character development is quite flat, falling in similar way to the MonsterOfTheWeek formula.

* NoFocusonHumans: There are literally no humans involved in the story, not to mention they are unexistent; instead, every character hails from a distinct humanoid race. Although they bear a striking resemblance to humans externally, they possess unique traits that distinguish them both internally and externally from humans. Among them, Peace Spirits are the closest to humans in appearance and characteristics, but they are still humanoid in essence as they retain their magical nature and wield technology that doesn't require magic unlike the rest of the races.

*** In fact, the [[RedBaron Six Valkyries]] that comprise of several girls from different nations, each that are the closest candidates to becoming the leader of their countries are very capable fighters with military achievements. As the story progresses, [[spoiler:Nelia and Karla become the leader of their nations, and Lingzi was next in line to become hers. Then it becomes gets PlayedWith, when Komari ends up becoming the ruler of the Enchanted Lands instead of the Mulnite Empire.]]

Three years into her life as a [[TheShutIn shut in]], vampire Terakomari Gandesblood (Komari for short), awakens to find she's been appointed as a [[FrontLineGeneral Commander in the Mulnite Imperial Army]]! The thing is, her new unit consists solely of belligerent ruffians who [[TheStarscream revolt]] against their superiors at the slightest hint of weakness. Although Komari hails from a line of vampires as powerful as they are prestigious, her refusal to drink blood has made her the picture of mediocrity—scrawny, un-coordinated, and inept at magic. With the odds stacked against her, will the help of her trusty (and slightly [[BaitAndSwitchLesbians infatuated]]) maid Villhaze be enough for this recluse to blunder her way to success? Or will Komari rue the day she ever left the safety of her room?

* AnotherDimension: [[spoiler:Besides the Six Nation World, there's another world known as the Netherworld. Apparently, the Dark Core is the key to opening the portal to the Netherworld.]]

* BroughtDownToNormal: At the end of Volume 7,[[spoiler: the destruction of the Enchanted Lands Dark Core, sends Komari along with her friends and comrades to the Netherworld, where due to the lack of a Dark Core, they are mostly unable to use their magic and can no longer be revived if they are killed. The little bit of magic they can use is limited, and once it runs out, there is no way to replenish it.]]

* EvilVersusEvil: There are several factions in which various [[BigBad Big Bads]] exists, and each of them are at odds with one another. From Inverse Moon to Star Fortress to Observatory.

** The situation Komari is in; she's the heir of a prestigious vampire clan put in charge of an army of AxCrazy, BloodKnight war criminals with [[TheStarscream a history of killing their commanders]] at the [[MightMakesRight slightest hint of weakness]], despite in fact being very weak for a vampire due to her dislike of blood, and for the most part only manages to make it through thanks to a HyperCompetentSidekick doing most of the work for her. {{Subverted}} in that she's is in fact incredibly strong thanks to her [[SuperMode Core Implosion]], but an incident where she killed her whole household when she first had blood prompted her father to hypnotize her into disliking it to avoid her causing a similar incident, with her being left unaware of how strong she actually is.

* HotSpringsEpisode: In Volume 6, Komari and her friends go to a hot springs resort, which the other girls secretly picked to celebrate Komari's birthday.

* MedievalStasis: The presence of the Dark Core means that almost everyone is immortal. In a setting where DeathIsCheap, outside of a few circumstances, like death by natural aging, means that many nations don't have a desire to improve or develop themselves. There are some minor exceptions like the Peace Spirits who use their time to develop technology like gunpowder that doesn't rely on magic, but for the most part, many are satisfied with the way things are. People who try to change the system are usually seen or branded as heretics and are treated terribly. [[spoiler:It's one of the things that the BigBad Spica detests. Stating that most of the Six Nations development have become stagnant, blaming the Dark Core as one of the major reasons for this.]]
** In Volume 6, [[spoiler:the ArcVillain Kuya was someone who tried to introduce medical knowledge to the world, hoping to help people with weak physical health that even the Dark Core couldn't do anything about. For her actions, she was branded a heretic, and became a target of endless harassment and abuse which ultimately accumulated in all her research being destroyed. Her life's saving stolen, and her home was burned to the ground and she was to forced to live on the streets as a beggar until BigBad Spica found her.]]

* NecessaryDrawBack: While [[SuperMode Core Implosion]] users can obtain incredible amounts of power, they usually have a heavy drawback, or a restriction in order to balance it out. With the stronger Core Implosions usually having a heavier price to pay, or requiring very specific conditions in order to utilize it. Such as [[spoiler:Komari passing out from the backlash and being left bedridden for some time after each use. Karla having to shave her life span off each time she uses it. Sakuna needing to kill her target while also making sure they can be revived. Kakumei only able to use his on the night of a full moon and so on.]]

* QuantityVersusQuality: When comparing the factions of the various [[BigBad Big Bads]], Inverse Moon is the Quantity to Star Fortress Quality.

** Later on [[spoiler:At the start of volume 8, the Enchanted Lands withdrew from the entertainment wars along with most foreign activities, and declared a state of emergency, due to the destruction of their Dark Core at the end of Volume 7. As they are no longer to be revived, they can no longer take part in any dangerous activities.]]
* WhereTheMagicWent: [[spoiler:The Six Nation World is this for the Netherworld. The true purpose of the Dark Cores is stealing all the magic resources of the Netherworld to have the infinite magic supply that provides the inhabitants of Six Nation World with magic spells and perfect regeneration. As a result, the inhabitants of the Netherworld lack magic and people actually die from fatal injuries.]]
