5	The art style could be described in a way as Creator/HidekazHimaruya [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] Creator/{{CLAMP}}. It incorporates elements and inspirations from both (with ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' apparently a major influence) while at the same time retaining something distinctive from either two.

11	----
12	!!This series provides examples of:
13	* AllThereInTheManual: Other characters aside from the Solar System, still has no character design and only mentioned on character summaries.
14	** Others characters are drawn, but haven't appeared on the comic yet.
15	* AmbiguousGender: Earth is too androgynous for the other characters to tell, with some assuming Earth to be male and some female. Most simply don't think of it much at all.
16	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Black Hole's skin is darker than most of the other characters but his exact ethnicity is impossible to pin down and his hair is apparently naturally white. Earth and Mercury gain darker skin colors after their redesign.
17	* AnimalEaredHeadband: Many of the stars in constellations wear headgear themed after their constellations.
18	* {{Animesque}}: Fitting its ''Hetalia'' roots, the strips themselves are done in the style of 4-koma webcomics. After the 2017 revamp, the style switched over to faux-screenshot sets as if the comic had its own anime.
19	* AnyoneCanDie: Everyone has more or less come to terms with the fact that they can all die in some manner eventually, despite being incredibly long-lived beings.
20	* ArtEvolution: [[https://twitter.com/Rosel__d/status/942615869623955456 Here's]] a comparison of the cast's 2011 looks to their 2017 redesigns.
21	* ArtisticAge:
22	** The planets look barely out of their teens but are [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld actually older than they look]].
23	** The stars on the other hand tend to look ''at least'' in their twenties for the most part.
24	* ArtShift:
25	** Usually done during [[DreamSequence daydreams]] and when they are frightened or shocked.
26	** In one strip, Saturn's style seemed to turn 3D whenever he was photographed.
27	%% * BaldHeadOfToughness: One of Saturn's moons, Enceladus is both bald and very tough. He [[BerserkButton doesn't take kindly to those who call him 'bald']], though.
28	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: They are [[MoePersonification personifications of celestial objects]] so it's no big deal.
29	* BelligerentSexualTension: [[CasanovaWannabe Sun]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Venus]]; Sun is constantly trying to woo her and she steadfastly rejects him, though it's implied that she's more interested in him than she admits to herself.
30	* BigGuyLittleGuy: Jupiter and Mercury, usually.
31	* BigFancyHouse: Jupiter has a very big house since he's the biggest planet... but it's enveloped in a ''perpetual storm''.
32	* BishieSparkle: Sun's default mode.
33	** Also [[TheDandy Sirius]] [[PrettyBoy A]].
34	** [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles And other stars]].

38	** There's also the spacesuit Earth tries on bearing more than a passing resemblance to [[Franchise/ToyStory a certain space ranger toy]].

41	* BritishStuffiness: Uranus' moons.

45	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Earth could be this... and [[OneOfTheKids Mars]].

63	** Sun has a more serious one later, about what will happen when he becomes a red giant: he will kill at least two of his closest friends, Venus and Mercury, and will possibly kill Earth. Unnervingly, the comic leaves it open to the interpretation that he was DreamingOfThingsToCome- ''[[OrWasItADream or that he wasn't dreaming at all.]]''
64	* DudeLooksLikeAlady: Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are all very pretty men. Earth could fit in there too, [[AmbiguousGender if we know what their gender actually was]].

66	* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles, [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows Rainbows]] and stars.
