* GagCensor: Used in the first episode to cover Onishima's privates after attempting to give Kujou...um...[[UrineTrouble "alternate sustenance"]].

* RealityEnsues:
** Being partially an EdutainmentShow, the manga doesn't shy away from showing how hard, and often disgusting, life in the wild can be. For example, Homare notes that the island doesn't seem to have any plants that would make getting water and food easy, like bananas and coconuts. So they have to eat things like bugs and seaweed and explore the island on foot to find a water source.
** Being an athlete, Asuka needs a bigger intake of calories to feel healthy.
** While Homare has no problem killing animals for sustenance, for the other girls who grew up with the conveniences of civilization, especially Asuka, killing animals like toads or rabbits is not easy to wrap their heads around. [[spoiler:When Mutsu dissects the first rabbit Asuka killed with the knife made by Shion, Shion and Asuka hide so they won't have see it.]]

* BeeAfraid: The girls manage to get some honeycombs using smoke to scare off the bees. Homare makes it clear that bee stings can be dangerous if one is allergic to them, and while her plan is successful, she ends up getting stung a few times.

Four girls enjoying a school life witness their lives take a turn for the unexpected when they are suddenly stranded on a deserted island. Fortunately, Homare Onishima has experience in surviving in the wild, and teaches the other girls on how to make the best of their current situation, but it will take true teamwork if the girls are to survive and return home.

** Mutsu has the smarts and the willingness to learn that makes her the lancer to Homare. And her ambition, is to become a yaoi light novelist.
** Shion is incapable of killing and is quite a complainer but she is surprisingly good at arts and crafts,[[note]]Having carved a stone knife on her first try as well as fishing hook from a seashell.[[/note]] making her the group's unofficial [[TheBlacksmith blacksmith]]:

** TheChick: Shion, who doesn't give as much unique contribution aside from being the most adept in delicate work and being the one in charge of maintaining distress signals after being taught by Homare. As Mutsu's notes, her insistence on asking for the conveniences of civilization does remind them that they are still delicate girls.

* TrainingFromHell: Though Homare didn't seem to mind it, her trips with her father could likely be considered this. Most grade school kids probably didn't go on survival expeditions to various parts of the world with their parent. While said expeditions did help out immensely, in another universe, Homare could have also just been an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who would never get to put said skills to use outside of a few trips.

** The girls guiding the bamboo raft end up throwing up due to motion sickness.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Shion wears thigh-high stockings with her uniform.

* EdutainmentShow: The anime is surprisingly educational, and the tips and survival measures given by Homare do work in real life.

* EdutainmentShow: The tips and survival measures given by Homare serve in real life.

* CerebusRollercoaster: The upbeat opening theme for the anime, and some of the more comedic scenes are a stark contrast to the other parts of the series where the girls find out that surviving on a deserted island is a lot tougher than they thought.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: After Shion becomes lost at sea, Homare remembers more training her father gave her, where he tells her that in a life and death situation, she should always ensure her own survival before anything else. However, due to the growing friendship she developed with the other girls, along with Mutsu's and Asuka's growing concerns, and her guilt over not keeping a closer eye on Shion in the first place, she decides to risk her life by chasing after Shion in the hopes of rescuing her.

* AdaptedOut: In the manga, there are also two side characters (Soji Hattori & Rui Toori) who appear as an example of what happens when they don't have someone like Homare to guide them [[spoiler: and some chapters later they are rescued by Homare's dad]].
* TheAce: Aside from her social skills, Homare is essentially the most important and skillful member of the group, capable of solving anything they need to survive, including a few mundane tasks such as making sun block.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: The end of episode 12 shows the girls setting up a boar trap. After a PantyShot of Shion is shown when she's asked to trigger the trap to see how it works, a boat driven by Homare's father is shown, implying that he will eventually rescue the girls.

* BornUnlucky: Homare's father, some of his and Homare's expeditions are caused by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. [[spoiler: And when he finally arrives at the island where Homare's group is located, his ferry that he's driving turns out to be malfunctioning and causes him (and the other survivors) to be stranded on a different island]].
* CerebusRollercoaster: The upbeat opening song for the anime, and some of the more comedic scenes are a stark contrast to the other parts of the show where the girls find out that surviving on a deserted island is a lot tougher than they thought. Homare does what she can to keep their morale up, usually by finding food for them, but it gets tough since none of the other girls ever had any kind of survival training like her father taught her.

* DefrostingIceQueen: At first Homare was rather aloof and more concerned with survival, but grows to care about the other girls, becoming protective of them and trying to make their situation more comfortable.
* DeliberatelyBadExample: A LowerDeckEpisode of the other two characters Soji & Rui shows us what happens when you don't have the expertise that Homare has, being really close to illness when they have no food (from their suitcases) and sleeping without adequate shelter.

* ExtremeOmnivore: Due to her upbringing Homare's food repertoire can be considered weird and different from their group.
* {{Fanservice}}: There are PantyShots and the girls occasionally have to strip to their underwear.
* FirstKiss: Mutsu has hers when Homare shares some saliva with her to lessen the effects of dehydration in her body. She is not happy to have her first kiss that way, doubly so because Homare had just eaten a locust and Mutsu ends up with [[{{Squick}} a locust leg in her mouth]].
* FireForgedFriends: When they first met, the four girls belonged to different classes and social circles, but after enough time they practically see each other as family.

** Mutsu has the smarts and the willingness to learn that makes her the lancer to Homare. And her ambition, is to become a (Boys Love's) light novelist.
** Shion is incapable of killing and is quite a complainer but she is surprisingly good at Arts & Crafts [[note]]Having carved a stone knife on her first try as well as fishing hook from a seashell[[/note]], making her the group's unofficial [[TheBlacksmith blacksmith]].

* IAteWhat: More like I Drank WHAT?!, but this is Asuka's expression when she realizes she drank water from Homare's sock. Also played straight when they try to eat various animals and sea creatures for the first time. Many are disgusted by how casually Homare can eat bugs and shellfish, but they eventually force themselves to eat it since they need to survive.

* UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics: The more polite Shion and Mutsu use "-san" on the other girls, while the more direct Homare and Asuka use yobisute.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: This is what Shion tells Homare after [[spoiler:they had to shove water into their anuses, ''with their mouths'' since they couldn't just drink it]]. Homare almost says it anyway to Mutsu and Asuka but Shion shuts her up.
* TheLoad: While all of the girls contribute to their survival, Shion falls into this trope the most. Due to her higher class upbringing, she finds the survival situation they're in very hard to adapt to, contributes the least overall, while also complaining the most out of all of them. Even during an attempt to be useful, by helping Homare on a fishing trip, she ends up drifting out to sea and risks not just her life, but Homare's as well when the latter goes on a search and rescue mission. While the other girls enjoy her companionship, her presence is more of a burden than help.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Shion becomes more determined to be of more help to the girls after she realizes that she's contributing the least. She asks Homare to allow her to go fishing with her the next day. At first it seems like another mundane task, but unfortunately Shion was sitting on a small raft, since she's unable to dive. While focusing on the fish in the water, she fails to realize that a rip current drags her further and further out to sea. Homare also fails to realize this as she spent much of her time underwater. By the time they realize it, Shion is far out at sea, too far to scream for help.

* NoSocialSkills: Homare's mind is completely focused on surviving, and she rarely talks about anything not related to the subject. She also doesn't seem to understand normal people have trouble dealing with the gross and violent aspects of a life on a desert island. The other girls have a hard time relaxing around her because of this.
* TheOjou: Shion, whose family is apparently quite wealthy. She has the hardest time adapting to her new life stranded on an island.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Shion goes missing, Homare for the first time disregards her father's advice on survival, trying to find her rather than focus on her own survival.

* RealityEnsues: Being partially an EdutainmentShow, the manga doesn't shy away from showing how hard, and often disgusting, life in the wild can be. For the first example, Homare notes that the island doesn't seem to have any plants that would make getting water and food easy, like bananas and coconuts. So they have to eat things like bugs and seaweed and explore the island on foot to find a water source.

** While Homare has no problem killing animals for sustenance, for the other girls who grew up with the conveniences of civilization, especially Asuka, killing animals like toads or rabbits is not easy to wrap their heads around. [[spoiler: When Mutsu dissects the first rabbit Asuka killed with the knife made by Shion, Shion & Asuka had to hide for not wanting to look]].
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Mutsu, Asuka, and especially Shion, are subjected to this from time to time, often having to strip down to their underwear or having some unintentional PantyShot scenes done to them.

* SeriousBusiness: Homare gets downright ''giddy'' when she finds a pair of old scissors she can turn into a knife, to the point where she starts... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything stroking the blade along it's length]].

** The girls sometimes ignore Homare's words and search for what they want in the moment rather than what's most important for their survival. Mutsu and Asuka outgrow this phase quickly, but [[TheOjou Shion]] keeps asking for the conveniences of civilization.
** [[spoiler: When in the midst of searching for survivors, Rui manages to find the main cast having a yuzu spring bath, but ended up not warning them, since she's jealous the girls might take the attention of Hattori (the only boy in the cast)]].

** TheLancer: Mutsu, doubles as TheSmartGuy (though more theoretically focused) as she is the most willing to learn from Homare and could quickly calm herself in front of bad situations, [[spoiler: especially one time when Homare is trapped under a well due to a tree blocking her]]. She's also the only cook that didn't delve to Homare's practical Corden Bluegh style.

* TooDesperateToBePicky: At least at first the girls other than Homare aren't enthusiastic about eating the things found on the island, but eventually grow accustomed to it.

** Asuka tries to look for something in the sea ''in the middle of a lightning storm!!'' She gets zapped and when Homare carries her back to shore she points out she's lucky to be alive.
** While trying to find some food, Soji randomly eats some wild berries that resembles edible ones which turns out to be poisonous. It's a miracle that he survived with nothing more than a swollen tongue. Before this he also attempts to eat some mushrooms that he doesn't know are poisonous or not but Rui doesn't want to tempt fate.
* TrainingFromHell: Though Homare didn't seem to mind it, her trips with her father could likely be considered this. Most grade school kids probably didn't go on survival expeditions to various parts of the world with their parent. While said expeditions did help out immensely, in another universe Homare could have also just been an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who would never get to put said skills to use outside of a few trips.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Asuka ends up throwing up after the jam she eats turns out to be rotten. Similarly, the girls guiding the bamboo raft end up throwing up due to motion sickness.

* BornUnlucky: Homare's father, some of his and Homare's expeditions are caused by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. [[spoiler: And when he finally arrives at the island where Homare's group is located, his ferry that he's driving turns out to be malfunctioning as caused him (and the other survivors) to the stranded on a different island]].

So they have to eat things like bugs and seaweed and explore the island on foot to find a water source.

* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: Having traveled all around the world with her father facing all sorts of hostile environments, Homare knows a lot about how to survive in the wild. However, such upbringing [[NoSocialSkills isn't good for developing social skills]].

** [[spoiler: When in the midst of searching for survivors, Rui manages to find the main cast having a yuzu spring bath, but ended up not warning them, since she's jealous the girls might take attention of Hattori (the only boy in the cast)]].

** TheLeader: Homare, doubles as TheSmartGuy as she quickly took charge of their situation and having the survival smarts to back it up.
** TheLancer: Mutsu, doubles as TheSmartGuy (though more theoretically focused) as she the most willing to learn from Homare and could quickly calm herself in front to bad situations [[spoiler: especially when one time Homare is trapped under a well due to a tree blocking her]].

Many are disgusted by how casual Homare can eat bugs and shellfish, but they eventually force themselves to eat it since they need to survive.

* NonUniformUniform: Asuka is the odd girl out when it comes to the uniform. Unlike the other girls, who wear long-sleeved shirts and blazers (although Homare ties hers around her waist, and Mutsu may have lost hers), Asuka wears a short-sleeved shirt and a sweater vest.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: After Shion becomes lost at sea, Homare remembers more training her father gave her, where he tells her that in a life and death situation, she should always ensure her own survival before anything else.

* TheComplainer: Shion's biggest flaw, she's as willing to put up the work as long as it is in her comfort zone, but her tendency of being this cause a lot of headache for the group.

** Mutsu has the smarts and the willingness to learn that makes her the lancer to Homare. And her ambition, [[spoiler: is to become a (Boys Love's) light novelist.
