* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:How much of the story's fantastical elements are Picasso's delusions or real is left unclear. For one, Jeanne hears Chiaki's voice when she speaks to her in her drawing.]]

* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler:Though Picasso did come to realize how he felt about Chiaki, it was too late and she had already gone to the afterlife.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The rotting on Picasso's arm in the first chapter appears like a band. [[spoiler:The rotting's real form is Picasso's watch, which he was wearing the day of the accident and has stopped.]]

** Picasso's classmates thought he was odd even before he started passing out everywhere. Manba is very concerned when he thinks that the [[ItMakesSenseInContext S&M-magazine-reading, clarinet-licking nosebleed guy]] is interested in his girlfriend. He's also a bit sullen when he realizes that Picasso is pretty much his only friend. [[spoiler:This actually plays into the darkness in Picasso's heart; he's well aware how people view him, which only further makes him refuse to accept Chiaki's death.]]

* MementoMacGuffin: [[spoiler: Chiaki's note.]]

It turns out Kotone was just substituting in place of the original model who couldn't make it as the photographer is her father.]]

* SociallyAwkwardHero: Picasso full stop.

17-year-old Hikari Hamura ([[GenderBlenderName a boy]]) is an aspiring artist who, after accidentally writing "Hikaso" on his shoes, has been saddled with the nickname "Picasso". Personally, he prefers Leonardo Da Vinci. Anti-social, he is one of the only two members of the "Riverside Club", where he goes and draws by the river after school. The only other member, Chiaki Yamamoto, is the one responsible for his nickname. One afternoon, an out-of-control helicopter crashes into them. Chiaki dies, but Picasso survives with only a few scratches. A few days later, Picasso reaches into his pocket and pulls out a miniature version of Chiaki! It turns out that when she died, she prayed to the gods to spare Picasso and his talent, a wish that was granted. In exchange, though, Picasso must use his abilities to help others. When he sees someone's darkness, he draws what's present in their heart, then enters the drawing (leaving an unconscious body behind) and tries to fix the problem.
