[[caption-width-right:211: The heroine in her typical [[spoiler: initial]] emotional state.]]

** In Book 3, Ayase [[spoiler: gets trapped in bug form and gassed. She loses her hands, both legs, and all her hair.]]

* ThreesomeSubtext: Between Ayase, Sachi, and Kadoyuki. Ayase and Sachi have the most relationship development, Kado admires Ayase deeply over the course of the story, and Sachi and Kado had some history together before the main plot kicks off. Sachi and especially Ayase are both horribly upset and filled with rage respectively over [[spoiler: Kadoyuki's faked death]] as well. Jo even jokes that the reason that [[spoiler:Sachi and Ayase]] don't end up as a permanent item as of the prologue for ''Ghosts'' is because [[spoiler:Kado]] isn't there with them. The creators also often encourage this line of thought during the fan contests.

* UrbanFantasy: The fantastic psychic elements go hand in hamdnwith technology and modern sensibilities with this series.

** Sachi can sense others' emotions when he touches them. It's pretty useless in fights and leads to a lot of awkwardness, but it's most useful in interrogations since it makes him a LivingLieDetector. However, when it comes to pathological liars [[spoiler: like Kadoyuki]], sensing the truth from them becomes a much harder job. As a side note, according to Daniel, powers like this one frequently lead to "more sexual partners than the average", which according to the prologue for ''Ghosts'' is [[ChickMagnet very, very true]].

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Miki complains about Byakko becoming this during the beginning of Book 1, stating that after their former leader left the gang, his "stoner brother" was more lenient with rules and essentially made the gang into a group of potheads who don't do much 'gang' activity . It's part of the reason why Byakko's the laughing stock of the gang world by the time the story starts.

There are two sequel series planned, ''Tokyo Ghosts'' and ''Tokyo Angels.'' ''Tokyo Ghosts'' began serialization in 2017 after the completion of ''Tokyo Demons''.

*** By the end of Tokyo Demons, [[spoiler: poor Kadoyuki has precognition on top of all the other powers making him unstable.]]

* SleepCute: Ayase and Kadoyuki have a moment like this in Book 2.

->'''Miki:''' Motherfucking shit-licking horse cock fuckers!

* AnArmAndALeg: Ayase briefly loses her arm after [[spoiler: Some of her bugs were damaged during her encounter in the church]] during Book 1. She gets it back by the end of it.

** The fans also voted for [[OneTrueThreesome OT3]] to be featured in Sparkler Monthly's 2015 couples calendar. The ''extremely'' suggestive art is still available as an official poster in the store.

* GirlyBruiser: Mitsuko, in spades. Unlike Ayase, she takes care of her appearance, wears perfume and loves fashion. She's also the former leader of the [[JapaneseDelinquents Riot Girls]] and an [[InHarmsWay adrenaline junkie]] who continuously finds excuses to get into fights. The official banner art for the series shows her in a girly purple sweater and pink headband, wearing a set of brass knuckles.

* OfficialCouple: Zayd and Aisha, Jo and Mitsuko by the second book, and [[spoiler: Ayase and Sachi]] by the end of the series.

** TheEmpath: Sachi, who can sense emotions with a touch; and Zayd, whose emotions leech into the people around him.
** [[spoiler:Telepathy: Kado can already do MindReading and PsychicRadar, much to his distress, but after exposure to Wipe he ''also'' gains MindManipulation.]]
** [[spoiler:Seers: Detective Ochi has retrocognition, while Touya has precognition.]]

* ThreesomeSubtext: Between Ayase, Sachi, and Kadoyuki. Ayase and Sachi had the most relationship development [[spoiler: and even got together by the end of the series]], Kado admires Ayase deeply over the course of the story, and Sachi and Kado had some history together before the main plot kicks off. Sachi and especially Ayase are both horribly upset and filled with rage respectively over [[spoiler: Kado's faked death]] as well. Jo even jokes that the reason that [[spoiler:Sachi and Ayase]] don't end up as a permanent item as of the prologue for ''Ghosts'' is because [[spoiler:Kado]] isn't there with them. The creators often encourage this line of thought during the fan contests.

* {{Yakuza}}: The Yakuza.

* LoveConfession: Kadoyuki makes a couple to Sachi over the course of the story, but finally gives him a clear, honest one at the end of Book 3, complete with a kiss on the cheek. [[PostKissCatatonia He's left speechless]].

* ConvenientlyCoherentThoughts: Just barely. Whenever [[spoiler:Kadoyuki]] uses telepathy, he gets a stream of short sentences concentrated into whatever's most on the person's mind. If they're aware of his telepath, they can at least concentrate their thoughts enough to block him out.

* JapaneseChristian: Kadoyuki's the most blatant of them.
