* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Inverted. Whilst we have heard tales of wicked and destructive humans in the past, so far it is the non-humans who have not only been more racially intolerant but utterly genocidal to the point of seeing humans largely as ''food''. [[spoiler: Haitora's backstory has his village wiped out by non-humans, who killed and ate the inhabitants, mutilating the captives who tried to escape or fight back.]] [[spoiler: Further played with when we meet the witch who wrote a book that depicted humanity in a dark light based on her experiences in a human village, witnessing their intolerance (to the point of needing to hide her own race from them at a Golem's advice for her safety) and the murder of an innocent "grotesque" that happened to show up on their shore even after learning "it" could talk. As horrified as she was by their cruelty and her exile after exposing herself to save her human friend, she had hoped humanity would overcome their fears to make peace with the other races and deeply regrets her book's role in the war that left humanity nearly extinct. Further exemplified with Aunt Rosa whom spends a whole day playing with Somali. However, once Aunt Rosa finds out Somali is human she sells the information putting Somali's life in danger. ]]

* MoralMyopia: [[spoiler: Auntie Rosa is massive example. Complaining about humans being intolerant and murderously prejudiced, when she's out to MURDER and EAT an innocent child just because she's a human. Rosa is just as hateful and cruel as the humans she despises. She's arguably worse, most humans acted out of fear and ignorance but Rosa is out to murder and eat Somali even knowing she's an innocent child.]]

* TokenHuman: While a major part of the plot is finding more of them, so far the only human in the story is Somali. [[spoiler:Well, the only normal human, anyway. Only in the anime, at least. The manga introduces an old man named Zaza, early on. He is the only survivor of the massacre of his village and lives in a small hut in a forest, far away from the monsters and like Somali, uses disguise to hide his identity. Later on in the manga, we are also introduced to another human, a young woman named Sakura. She is actually the descendant of Miya, the human girl who befriended the witch Feodora and currently in possession of the Chronicle of Haraiso, the book that Isolde wrote. Despite being a human, she is the leader of a gang of monster-thieves. She is also seemingly connected to Somali, as she is shown humming a song that Somali also seems to know. It is hinted she and Somali might came from the same village.]]
