* SelfMadeMan: In contrast to demon princes Kakeru and Meguru, Satoru clawed his way up to a respectable status in the demon realm's DeadlyDecadentCourt from nothing entirely on his own efforts. It's greatly informed his attitude towards trusting others and his tendency to view the people around him based on whether or not they can help him to advance further.

* ResetButton: At the end of Haruhito's route, [[spoiler:he becomes human and is exiled from the angel and demon realms]]. Because this state of affairs would make it extremely difficult to keep him and the protagonist involved with the rest of the cast for subsequent routes and side stories, in his sequel [[spoiler:he's reinstated as a demon]] courtesy of Kakeru.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Kakeru is always looking out for Meguru, and has been since the day they met because that's what big brothers ''do''. Kakeru is also very protective of Shiki, and is the first to worry about him, no matter how much he may deny it.



* DeathByChildbirth: Narrowly averted in Kakeru's route; the protagonist's sister Makoto has a history of health problems and nearly dies during her emergency Caesarian section, but pulls through [[spoiler:thanks to Kakeru's intervention]].

* DivideAndConquer: In Haruhito's sequel, a series of events nearly set off a war between the angels and the demons. [[spoiler:When calmer heads prevail and notes are compared, all signs point to an as yet unrevealed third party deliberately fueling the conflict.]]

Added DiffLines:

* BigFriendlyDog: Played with by Haruhito's dog Cerby (short for Cerberus). Despite his ominous name, Cerby really ''is'' friendly and entirely non-threatening, and Haruhito often uses him as a pillow. The "tricks" that Haru has taught him, on the other hand, are a bit problematic - "shake," for example, involves biting someone's hand.

* {{Unishment}}: Haruhito's punishment for failing to collect his assigned 10,000 souls, and for breaking the laws of the CelestialBureaucracy twice over in both falling in love with a human and circumventing her fated death, is... [[spoiler:to be banished from both the angel and demon realms to live as a human. Which leaves him free to be with the protagonist]]. He is, not surprisingly, totally okay with this.

Added DiffLines:

* ChocolateOfRomance: The protagonist tries giving her guy of choice chocolate for Valentine's Day during the "Black Valentine's Day" side story. Since the demons aren't necessarily all that familiar with the holiday or its traditions, there tend to be unexpected complications - Kakeru, for example, takes a while to grasp that "putting [her] feelings into" homemade chocolate does not mean that it contains the protagonist's actual ''soul''.

Added DiffLines:

* FishOutOfWater: The demons are all somewhat ignorant of the ways of the Human Realm. This baffles the protagonist since they're meant to live and work among humans without being noticed. Team leader Kakeru is a particularly bad case, since outside of a few areas of interest, he's supremely indifferent to mortal affairs.

* AccentAdaptation: Rein speaks ''[[KansaiRegionalAccent Osaka-ben]]'', which the translators for the English version initially chose to render as a [[FunetikAksent nearly-incomprehensible]] [[{{Oireland}} Oirish]] brogue. It's eventually toned down significantly, with hints suggesting that he's doing so deliberately.

Tweaked for accuracy now that more routes have been released with additional information provided.


* OurAngelsAreDifferent: They are responsible for cleansing the souls of dead humans of the memories of their life and reincarnating them into new lives. Although they're associated with "heaven," no mention is made of God being in charge: instead, a glancing reference is made in Kakeru's route to an Angel King. Notably, while demon society is very much a DeadlyDecadentCourt, it's the ''angels'' who pose a direct threat to the protagonist, and are far less tolerant of human interference in supernatural affairs.

* ShoutOut: Satoru's main route contains an extended shout to ''VisualNovel/PiratesInLove'' when, in return for a favor from Shiki, the protagonist and Satoru set out to find a particular limited-edition toy from a box of "[[BlandNameProduct Crackle Jacks]]." The toy is a pirate ship, from a set which includes pirate characters matching the descriptions of the Sirius and Rika pirates in [=PiL=].

* CoolTeacher: During his part of the "Devil's Work" side story, Haruhito temporarily becomes an art teacher at a prep school. The students are mostly so focused on academics that they can't be bothered to care about art, but Haruhito himself quickly becomes opoular as a teacher thanks to his efforts to make art class an enjoyable escape from the pressure of constant studying.
