* AbileneParadox: Seichirou, Tsaiko's gay partner of thirty years, is finally reconnecting with his adult son as he's dying on an illness. Tsaiko purposely spends less time with Seichirou and gives up his chance of staying at his deathbed to avoid meeting his son and risk their homosexuality causing tension between the two of them. Seichirou assumes that Tsaiko is ashamed and doesn't want his family to know about him, and so doesn't say that all he really wants is to keep the man he loves by his side until he dies.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Anonymous and her, uh, apparent tendency to ignore the laws of gravity. Blurring the lines between visual metaphors and reality is a trademark of Kamatani's work, but Anonymous takes it a step further: the story starts with her seemingly jumping and turning out to be completely fine, [[spoiler: and a later chapter reveals Tasuku wasn't just seeing things- this is also how she met Tchaiko and Seichirou.]]

* SceneryPorn: As expected of a manga by Kamatani.

to:

* RuleOfSymbolism: As with Kamatani's other works, Shimanami Tasogare uses a lot of visual metaphors.
** In the first volume, demolishing and crowbars are a symbol of coming out.
*** In Chapter 4 we see a little of Haruko's past, mainly her feeling paralyzed about telling her parents about her relationship with Saki. The turning point is when Anonymous suddenly grabs her crowbar and begins to tear down a wall of the property Haruko didn't know what to do with.
*** In Chapter 5 Tasuku asks to borrow Haruko's crowbar, but seeing him suddenly second-guess himself when he feels its weight, she suggests he use a smaller nail puller instead. [[spoiler: After pulling out a board, Tasuku quietly confesses to her and the other patrons that he's fallen in love with a boy.]]
