* FisherKingdom: Pure Illusion seems to be a land of this sort. Whatever goes on in the regular world or whatever is happening physically and emotionally with Cocona is mirrored in the land. For example-- when the duo come to Pure Illusion in the first episode, they take note that the land is very snowy, but tastes strangely sweet. Cocona on that episode is distant and cold before she meets Papika, but she's noted to be a very sweet person deep down when one takes a closer look at her, and her initial cold attitude towards Papika is dissolved after Papika goes after her glasses and almost drowns.

* ChildhoodFriends: Yayaka and Cocona are this.



** Yayaka also serves as a foil to Cocona; whereas Cocona likes to fret about everything and tries to look at things seriously, Yayaka appears to be more carefree and is more open and honest about her feelings.



* NewTransferStudent: After Cocona gets knocked out, she wakes up a couple of days later to find out that Papika has fully enrolled in her school.

* CallASmeerpARabbit: Uxekull is the most literal version of this trope as one can get. He's called a rabbit, has ears and teeth like a rabbit, and is treated like a rabbit, but his shape changes every other second, he doesn't make rabbit noises, and he's ''green''.



* FairyTales: Seems to have this as a motif. The visuals are very picture book-like, and the ending is done in a watercolor style right out of the pages of a children's story.

Added DiffLines:

* ShipTease: Mostly one-sided for now, but Papika seems to ''really'' like Cocona. In the Relationship chart, she says "I love, love, love her!" about Cocona, and as far back as the very first episode she got very close and personal with her, even when she hadn't known her for very long.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The setting of the show is bright and cheery with beautiful, picturesque landscapes, but we already see a dark underbelly start to surface. Papika's RobotBuddy can die and has [[{{Squick}} a human brain housed inside of it]], it's implied that all of her potential partners prior to Cocona have died, and the Flip Flap organization is an ominous figure trying to find a certain "treasure". Whatever is going on, it doesn't look good for our heroines.

Added DiffLines:

* DeadlyEuphemism: When we first meet Papika, she notes that her latest plan to find a suitable partner was "a bust", which is accompanied by what appeared to be a corpse on the ground. When she takes Cocona to the entrance to Pure Illusion, she's almost elated to find that she's still alive.
