* LeftHanging: The last chapter of the manga reveals that [[spoiler:Kuro has some kind of connection with Yoroizuka's hidden eye]], but with the manga CutShort this never gets explored.

%%* ResurrectiveImmortality: [[spoiler:This is why people want to die on the island. Wakanae achieved this under curious circumstances.]]

* TheUnsmile: For his [[spoiler:beach date with Wakanae]], Nishigami tries to follow Kuro's advice of "complimenting her with a smile". Unfortunately, his "smile" looks more like a smirk, which makes his compliment sound condescending.

* ItsAllMyFault: Nishigami is convinced that the deaths of his four friends were caused by his existence, which is why he resolves to hate absolutely everyone, ''especially'' Wakanae. [[spoiler:Unknown to him, she heard his reason as he was grieving over her corpse, and she accepted Hahane-sama's offer of revival just to prove Nishigami wrong.]]

* SadlyMythtaken: InUniverse, the general public isn't entirely clear on the intricacies of the Hahane-sama myth.

* StaircaseTumble: Wakanae falls over the staircase to the roof while trying to take her letter back from Nishigami. [[spoiler:This is surprisingly ''not'' lethal thanks to Nishigami catching her in time, but he's still sore from earlier and has to be brought to the infirmary.]]

* TownWithADarkSecret: [[spoiler:Hahane-sama's existence]] both enables and kicks off the plot.

* SilkHidingSteel: However, Nishigami often causes another side of her to come out. While she tolerates his occasional tirades against her because she knows for a fact he doesn't mean it, she'll lay into Nishigami verbally or physically if he does it to any of her friends on the island. This happens frequently enough that she can come off as a {{Tsundere}}.

%%* StaircaseTumble: Wakanae survives this!

* TheUnsmile: For his beach date with Wakanae, Nishigami tries to follow Kuro's advice of "complimenting her with a smile". Unfortunately, his "smile" looks more like a smirk, which makes his compliment sound condescending.

* OutOfBodyExperience: Dead people get to float around for a bit before they're sucked down into the afterlife.

%%* AccidentalMurder: Wakanae should reconsider her policy of standing near cliffs.
* AccidentalTruth: Nishigami stumbled upon [[spoiler:Touka's hidden identity]] on nothing more than an empty hunch.

%%* CartwrightCurse: Nishigami is convinced that he has something like this, which is why he resolves to hate absolutely everyone. ''Especially'' Wakanae.

* ObliviousToLove: Although they have their fair share of love-related miscommunication, averted with the protagonists (in a shonen manga, no less!). Itsuki, on the other hand, is bad enough to make up for both of them.

* SadlyMythtaken: InUniverse, the general public isn't entirely clear on the intricacies of the Hahane-Sama myth.

%%* SourOutsideSadInside: Nishigami's defining trait.

%%* TownWithADarkSecret

''Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami'' ("The Dying[[note]]('Shindere' is one of the -dere forms composed of 'death' and 'sweet', which doesn't exactly lend itself to a proper English translation.)[[/note]] Girl and the Forlorn Death God") is a short-lived manga written by Masaki Himura and illustrated by Yoshie Katou. It builds off of a generic premise to become anything but, as Wakanae and Nishigami weave their way through dubious traditions, xenophobic natives, and desperate foreigners in search of the truth behind the island's greatest secret.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Wakanae has blue hair, while other characters have more 'realistic' colors.

* [[spoiler:[[DisposableFiance Disposable Fiancee]]]]: Subverted. [[spoiler:Their relationship has all the hallmarks of this and Touka even gives Nishigami the option to back out of their marriage, but he decides that it would be too inconvenient to be unable to talk to her.]] Also literal, in that [[spoiler:Touka is a literally disposable fiancee since she can resurrect.]]
