* SmittenTeenageGirl: While she's devoted to any one of her crushes, she's portrayed as "fickle" in her pursuit of them. Her previous lover wasn't keen on her desire to come with him out of town, and once she got over him she was yet another victim of Ginko's charms.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Ultimately, her chapter hands her this message. She's been in a funk because her previous lover didn't even take her seriously, and gives consideration to simply letting the Mizu-kagami take over her life. Ginko tries to make her realize that she (and humans) are stronger than she gives herself credit for, and in the end gets rid of the ''mushi'' without using her lover's mirror.

* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Ultimately, Sayo loses most of her memories after discovering that her long-absent husband has made another family on the other side of the river. The next time she went to sleep afterwards, the Kagedama took every single memory that's not about her daily habits, herself, or her son. Ginko theorizes that since Kagedama only take memories their host doesn't think about too often, she desperately wanted to forget everything that had to do with the man she loved.]]

* VagueAge: Because of a combination of the art style and the series' episodic nature, it's impossible to tell how old Ginko is. In fact, [[spoiler:Ginko himself doesn't know how old he is, because the memory of his childhood was destroyed by the ''mushi'' that he got his name from. He reckons he was about 10 when that happened, though.]] While years must go by in-story (his trench coat frequently changes color in the anime, not to mention the many times the narration indicates that periods of months or years have passed) he always looks more-or-less the same. As such, he could be anywhere between 20-50. The author's note in Volume 5 says that he's pictured as being in his late 20's, though.
