* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Hayakawa is the ghost of Kishida's childhood friend and never leaves his side. She cannot talk and relies on nonverbal cues to communicate with him. Hayakawa acts as a guardian angel of sorts for Kishida, protecting him and telling him what to do when he is in a dangerous situation. Perhaps because she's a ghost, she also has supernatural levels of awareness of what's going on and is knowledgable about other supernatural beings.

* CannotSpitItOut: Egucchi has a very obvious crush on Kishida, but in most chapters she's too shy to tell him her feelings. When she finally tries to confess during a dance, she gets interrupted.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Ghost, a SerialKiller who is madly in love with Kishida. Unlike many examples of this trope, she is actually a very cute, petite girl, but her status as a SerialKiller, her belief as "God's chosen one," and her unhealthy obsession with Kishida puts him off.

* SnuffFilm: One chapter involves the Occult Club staying at an inn that ends up being run by a family of [[SerialKiller Serial Killers]] who want to replicate the success of their first film, which was praised for its grittiness and effects (which in reality was a snuff film featuring their real-life murders).

The series follows a mostly episodic format where each chapter details a new encounter with the bizarre and supernatural, often with horrifying results. As the series goes on however, recurring plot elements and characters appear. Aside from the horror, the manga also loves to engage in BlackComedy.

* ButtMonkey: While Jun qualifies, poor Egucchi is this trope to a T. In nearly every chapter she appears in something terrible happens to her, be it almost being used in a snuff film or being locked up in a dungeon by her AbhorrentAdmirer. In one later chapter where she yet again is put in a traumatizing situation, she simply decides she's dreaming and refuses to acknowledge what happened.



* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Shinko is the president of the Occult Club, and as a result almost all of the characters simply call her "President" or "Prez." Downplayed as she's occasionally referred to as "President Shinko."
* GirlishPigtails: Mako always sports these, as befitting her image as a "Dark [[IdolSinger Idol]]."
* IdolSinger: A recurring psychic who helps out Kishida, Mako, is one, She's known as the "Dark Idol" because of her all-black wardrobe and interest in the occult and supernatural. Unlike many idols shown in anime and manga, however, she's not a very popular or successful idol, being dismissed as a "has-been" and a "b-list celebrity" in-story by some characters.
** One chapter involves an up-and-coming idol, Rumi, who Mako takes under her wing. She eventually attains her dream of being a famous idol... [[spoiler: at the expense of her life, because in reality her success was being powered by her psychic abilities and she exhausted them conjuring up a stadium full of fans.]]



* PsychicNosebleed: Kishida gets these whenever he encounters something supernatural, so it basically happens OncePerEpisode.

** Whenever Hieda isn't on an expedition with the Occult Club, the reason given is that he's at a funeral (whether he lies about this or not is left up to the reader).

----
!!Tropes appearing in ''Shibito no Koe wo Kiku ga Yoi'':

*CuteMute: Hayakawa's ghost cannot speak and instead relies on body language and pantomiming to communicate her thoughts to Kishida.
* InvisibleToNormals: Most supernatural phenomenon, including ghosts like Hayakawa, are invisible to people who are not spiritually gifted (which is the vast majority of the population). Some supernatural beings avert this but for the most part Kishida and other psychics like Mako are the only people who can see them.
*LastNameBasis:
** Kishida's first name is Jun, but almost everyone except for his family members refer to him by his last name.
** Kishida himself almost always refers to people by their last names as well. He used to call Hayakawa "Ryo-chan" when they were younger and still close friends, but as a sign of their growing distance he refers to her as "Hayakwa-san" in their teenage years.
*PsychicNosebleed: Kishida gets these whenever he encounters something supernatural, so it basically happens OncePerEpisode.
