Added DiffLines:

* BadassInDistress: Mutsumi of all people gets captured by a giant spider. Ends up being unable to think a way out herself, due to the trickiness of the spiderweb. Ends up having to be saved by Kai and Aoyama.


Added DiffLines:

* GottaRescueThemAll: Chitose insists upon this for all of the survivors, even the ones who had previously caused the group loads of trouble due to their actions.


Added DiffLines:

* RapunzelHair: Mutsumi's hair reaches at least to her waist, Misuzu's may be even longer, and Chitose's hair comes down about as far as Misuzu's, though hers may actually be longer since she keeps her hair tied up in braids.

* ConvenientlySeated: Interestingly enough, our main character, Mutsumi, seems to take the seat in the very back right corner of her classroom. Kai, in his own classroom, by contrast, takes the typical 'protagonist seat'; second from the back right next to the window.

* ConvenientlySeated: Interestingly enough, our main character, Mutsumi, seems to take the seat in the very back right corner and middle of her classroom. By contrast, Kai, a side character, in his own classroom, by contrast, takes the typical 'protagonist seat'; second from the back right next to the window.


Added DiffLines:

* EatenAlive: The fate of those abducted and sedated by an Ammophilia. Taken back to the nest and placed with a sack of eggs, which will shortly hatch and the larvae will slowly eat the victim alive, all while the victims are loaded with a pleasure inducing pheremone to keep them from trying to move or escape as they're being devoured. Seemed to happen to some of the former residents on the island, and almost became the fates of Chitose and Akira.


Added DiffLines:

* MasterOfUnlocking: How Kai gets the group into the facility when they get there, and after Leader and Misuzu lock them out; though he refrained from telling them he did this the first time and simply claimed he had climbed in an open window, only telling them he picked the lock when getting them in the second time to get away from the Protohermes Grandis.


Added DiffLines:

* RobbingTheDead: How the group acquires a working cell phone. Kai swipes one off of one of the island's former residents after the group finishes smashing a nest full of Ammophilia larvae. Technically the robbed party aren't quite dead yet, but at that point they were more than halfway eaten and no way to save them, so they might as well have been dead anyway.

* ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind: A very timely one performed by Kai JustInTime that saved Mutsumi from being raped.



* DueToTheDead: Though short on time, the group does a short, impromptu service for [[spoiler: Captain/Matsuoka]] after she is killed by firefly larvae. The most they are able to do is make a cross out of sticks and [[spoiler: tie her headband around it]].



* PosthumousCharacter: When the main group first meets the school's art teacher, Miss Nozawa, she was already doomed to be dead because of how many ticks had latched on to her body, and they feel sorry for her death. However, a later flashback by Aoyama reveals that Miss Nozawa had initially survived the crash for a bit, but at the same time shows she was a horrible person because [[spoiler: Miss Nozawa had been blackmailing and sexually abusing Aoyama under threat of outing her for shoplifting. She ended up in the tick nest because of Marika pushing her over a cliff and into the forest after catching her in the act of molesting Aoyama.]]



* UndyingLoyalty: Aoyama is completely loyal to teacher Marika after she saved her from a depraved teacher,Nozawa by pushing Nozawa over a cliff after seeing her sexualy abusing Aoyama and saying Nozawa was attacked by a giant insect. Because of her loyalty to her, she is willing to threaten Chitose with a knife to try and force Mutsumi to save Marika when the teacher is captured by an insect, and even force herself onto Kai sexually to convince him to help her save the teacher (and Mutsumi by default) later when that fails.

to:

* TapOnTheHead: A bit more of a realistic version. When Kai hits a student attempting rape over the head with a stick, it's enough to stun him, but not enough force to knock him out.

* DeathBySex: Sadly played straight in the case of [[spoiler: Mami and Matsuoka aka Captain, even though it's debatable as to how far they may have actually gone, though in their case it's only Matsuoka who dies long after the fact]].
** Somehow, though, this trope is seemingly averted by Misuzu and Leader, as they do it on a very exposed beach on the island and they seem none the worse for it.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In early chapters, Kai can be seen acting mostly in self interest, and mostly follows and supports Mutsumi only because it's in his best interests so that he had a better chance of survival. Later chapters, though, show him having a more selfless (if not slightly jaded) side to him. From back in school when he went out of his way to save a boy being bullied in a bathroom by running up to the door and yelling to a teacher he had brought, when in reality, he had just been bluffing to scare them away. On the island, the same can be seen later on, including when he [[spoiler: paid Matsuoka proper respects at her makeshift grave with the others]], or when he was shown to have already been thinking up a plan on how to save Mutsumi and Marika from the giant spider, even when everyone else was more interested in staying in the safe spot and waiting for help to arrive.

Added DiffLines:

* SexForServices: In a sense, quite a few of the girls on (and some off) the island have used this method to get their way.
** Mami used this on Matsuoka in order to get her to promise to protect her from the insects on the island. (Given this one may be debatable as its uncertain if they got past fondling and making out.
** Misuzu used thus method on Leader in order to get him to agree with her and get him on her side while on the island. Though she also used this method back in school with a teacher in order to get a good grade.
** Because Aoyama was desperate to save Marika and she knew Kai had some form of plan to save both Marika and Mutsumi, she forces herself onto him in order to push him to go through with his plan.

* AerosolFlamethrower: Musumi manages to kill a group of giant butterflies intent on sucking their fluids by pulling a Solid Snake and burning them to death with nothing but a lighter and a can of hairspray.
* AscendedToCarnivorism: Musumi makes note of the fact that many of the giant insects that would normally be herbivores or survive off of sap are now attacking and eating humans. A hypothesis is made at one point that, since the insects grew so large, they became past the point where they could survive off of plants, and had to turn to animals instead.
* BehemothBattle: Between the Ammophilia Procera in the early chapters, after Musumi aggravates them to fight using hair spray and fabric softener.

After an airplane crash during a school trip, Oribe Mutsumi and her classmates were stranded on a seemingly deserted island. Mutsumi found the other survivors, and used her wilderness knowledge to help them. She expects that they will be rescued in about three days, which doesn't seem so long to endure. However, she didn't account for the fact that the island is populated with gigantic killer insects.
