He intended to have Kou forget this as well through the time reversal, though Kou eventually kept his memories with the help of Akane's abilities.]]



* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Although he was obviously shown to not be a good guy from Hanako’s horrified reaction to him, what really cements [[spoiler: Tsukasa]] as someone to be feared is when he guts a talking fish only because he wanted to see what its insides looked like.



* BigDamnHeroes: Hanako seems fond of pulling these a lot, saving Nene from the mokke back when they were dangerous, to saving her from Yako, to saving her and Kou in the 4PM Bookstacks...subverted in regards to [[spoiler: Mitsuba]] however, as by the time he gets there [[spoiler: Tsukasa has already been able to change his rumor]].

* DamselInDistress: Nene lampshades how she always needs Hanako to save her several times. But this is also subverted often. Many times Hanako would be unable to save her if she didn’t help in some way, and in the Picture Perfect arc [[spoiler: the reason they ultimately escape is because she’s the one who is able to convince Hanako to let them go.]]

* MayflyDecemberRomance: Hanako and Nene
Nene. He's the ghost of a boy who died [[spoiler: sometime in the 60s]], while she's a human girl [[spoiler: who has barely a year left to live.]]
* MiseryTrigger: Any time someone comments on Nene’s legs or compares them to radishes.
* MoodWhiplash: The series can go from comedic to sweet to downright frightening and back again within a single chapter. A good example is the entirety of the Mitsuba arc, where it starts off humorously with Kou trying to help a loud-mouth spirit, to them becoming friends, [[spoiler: and then Tsukasa appears and not only changes Mitsuba's rumor, he ends up getting Hanako to perform a mercy kill on him.]]
* NightmareFace: [[spoiler: Tsukasa]] is prone to these. Those floating, pitch black eyes...

* ShipTease: Nene and HanakoHanako, so so much. Hanako flirts with her a lot, and despite her denying he's her type, she does seem quite excited about the possibility of him confessing to her during the Confession Tree arc. In the Picture Perfect arc, Hanako [[spoiler: disguised as Amane in the false world, even asks her out on a date. She even says "The person I like isn't here," meaning Hanako.]]

* SiblingMurder: Sometime in the past, Hanako to Tsukasamurdered Tsukasa, his younger twin brother.
* SlasherSmile: During his more unstable moments, Hanako sometimes smiles these. Tsukasa does this much more frequently.



* SparedByTheAdaptation: A minor case. Since "The Little Mermaid" arc is moved to the last episode rather than directly after the "Donuts" arc, the talking pufferfish avoids getting gutted by [[spoiler: Tsukasa]].

Added DiffLines:

* WhamEpisode: Chapters 16 and 17, in which [[spoiler: Tsukasa appears for the first time,'' and things begin to get much darker. Also chapter 27, in which [[spoiler: Nene’s short lifespan]] is revealed.
* WouldHitAGirl: Just because the Misaki Stairs is a woman, doesn’t mean Hanako and Kou aren’t willing to fight her. Played with in regards to Tsukasa; although he says you should be nice to girls, it could be a case of BlueAndOrangeMorality, as he basically attempted to have Nene killed in the Tea Party arc.
