* CreatorsCultureCarryover: Possibly played for laughs, but the eponymous Nick and Lever seem to be overly familiar with Japanese culture customs despite being fresh-off-the-boat Americans.
Added DiffLines:
* SurrealHumor: This manga lives and breaths in it, with the main duo getting themselves into utterly absurd situations.

!!''Nick & Lever'' provides examples of:
* AlwaysLate: A RunningGag is Nick being late for work. It comes to bite him in the ass in chapter 117 when he ''finally'' gets fired for good after being late to work too many times.
* {{Animesque}}: Inverted. The manga is visually heavily influenced by the art style of Western comics and takes several visual cues of ToonPhysics that wouldn't look out of place in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''.
* BackForTheFinale: [[EvilCounterpart Rick and Sugar]] come back in chapter 134 [[spoiler:to help Nick and Lever stop a train from falling on a broken bridge.]]
* DiggingToChina: Chapter 70 has Nick and Lever digging to ''Brazil'' from Japan as a way to get a free vacation.
* EvilCounterpart: Chapter 78 introduces Nick and Lever's evil counterparts Rick and Sugar. They look near identical to them except with different haircuts and leather jackets.
* EyePop: ''Weaponized'' by Nick in chapter 1, where he stops a criminal from running away by shooting one of his eyeballs.
* HamAndDeadpanDuo: Nick is a loud and flashy LargeHam, whereas Lever is more deadpan and subdued. Unlike most examples where the deadpan half of the duo is snarky and gloomy, Lever is just as cheerful and optimist as Nick.
* KindheartedSimpleton: There's barely a brain floating between the main duo, but they're all around sweethearts and always strive to do the right thing. [[spoiler:Even Rick and Sugar finally unlock their HiddenHeartOfGold in the magazine's final chapter.]]
* MediumAwareness: Used frequently by the title characters as a way to solve their problems.
** Chapter 5 has Lever stressed over being late to work. Nick gives him a handy shortcut of his: To simply get there directly by jumping from one panel to another.
** In one chapter, Nick's able to stop a purse snatcher by having his pompadour trip up the thief's motorcycle in the ''panel above him''.
* RedOniBlueOni: Nick is the more hot-blooded and wilder half of the duo; whereas Lever is generally more cold-headed and calmer.
* ThemeNaming: Nick and Lever are both named after meat. Nick is virtually the same pronunciation as meat (niku) and Lever's name is phonetically similar to "Liver".
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Nick and Lever often die at the end of the strips and get brought back to life by the next chapter without explication. It's such a RunningGag that the volume covers feature them as skeletons (Volume 2) and as ghosts (Volume 3).
