* EverythingsWorseWithSharks: If you're an [=ESPer=] and you see a shadowy shark, beware: [[spoiler: your powers are about to taken away, possibly ''permanently'']].

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Rinka, though she may just be a really, really light-color blond.

* WhatTheHellHero: Rink is called out because she was focused on trying to go to the beach while the situation was getting worse.

** Also, during his days as a cop, he was renowned by his coworkers and feared by the criminal element as {{Wolverine}}, due to the [[WolverineClaws way he uses his escrima sticks]].

* ShownTheirWork: Rinka's explanation of Kali (aka Arnis/Escrima) after using dual batons to beat up yakuza goons. The Philippine archipelago is also shown during her explanation.

** Played Straight later on. The SDF got shot down by a couple of flying and teleportation espers and the only reason the rescue team worked for retaking the Diet Building was because of the 5-6 espers on their side...and [[BadassNormal and Rinka]]

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: In chapter 24 Rinka along with the Panda and the pompadour boxer charge into the Diet Building and rescue the hostages.]]

* {{Deconstruction}} / {{Reconstruction}}: Starts out as an about normal story about super heroes and personal heroism, then heads deep into deconstruction territory, and seems to be coming back around to a reconstruction.

* AGodAmI: A depressing number of [=ESPers=] decide to go this route.

* AscendedFanboy: Azuma. [[spoiler: And '''Rinka''' is the person who inspired him to become a superhero.]]

* {{Deconstruction}} / {{Reconstruction}}: A bit of both for the super hero genre.
** Leaning closer to deconstruction as of late.

* {{Gonk}}: Quite a few of the unnamed female characters.

* HowDoIShotWeb: Used realistically. All of the [=ESPers=] have trouble controlling their powers at first, but the main characters experiment and practice with them until they get the hang of it.
** [[spoiler: though not knowing that she can't phase through organic matter does turn out to be a problem]]

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Rinka. But her conscience won't have any of that.[[spoiler: She get BroughtDownToNormal in chapter 18 via NoHoldsBarredBeatdown]] making it a case of BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor.

* MasterofIllusion: [[spoiler:The Professor ESP ability. And he's very good at it.]]

* PoliceAreUseless: Azuma certainly thinks so. [[spoiler: Their task force for Esp users aren't much better.]]

* ShoutOut: A group of guys who look suspiciously like the Film/{{Ghostbusters}} are the antagonists of one chapter, and Murasaki's [[spoiler:Yakuza boss]] father has a notable resemblance to [[ThreeHundred a certain Spartan king]].

* WhatTheHellHero: Azuma gets some pretty horrific demonstrations as to why life is ''not'' like comics.
** Rink is called out because she was focused on trying to go to the beach while the situation was getting worse.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Azuma dear, even if this trope is in full effect that costume of yours is not going inspire trust.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: In Chapter 18, [[spoiler: three espers working for the professor brutally beat down Rinka to the point she lost her powers because her heart stopped for a few minutes and publicly broadcasted it to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make an example out of what happens to heroes.]]

* DarkActionGirl: Black Fist and Minami.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Rinka. But her conscience won't have any of that.

* PapaWolf: Rinka’s father. A bit of a deconstruction when his concern for Rinka causes his psychokineis to run amok. He does a fair bit of property damage when she wasn’t in any real danger.

* PoliceAreUseless: Azuma certainly thinks so.
* RealityEnsues: Azuma and Rinka Catch Black Fist, and the police lament that they don’t have any evidence besides the word of a guy in a crow mask. One of the problems present is that there are no laws against ESP.
** [[spoiler: and the now superpowered Yakuza Rinka beat up? They burn down her apartment building in front of her without a backward glance]]

She was an ordinary girl with an ordinary life, until a [[EveryThingsBetterWithPenguins flying penguin]] and a swarm of glowing fish swimming though the air changed everything. Rinka soon finds that she is [[PowerIncontinence involuntarily]] [[IntangibleMan moving through]] things, walls, the floor of her apartment... and her clothes.

And she is not the only one who changed. A strange boy name Kyoutaro Azuma can teleport, her father can move things with his mind... and any number of petty criminals are using ESP to run wild.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Segawa started brainstorming the idea while finishing up Ga-Rei, according to omakes, one of the ideas involved [[spoiler: a Matrix-style hero who had the power to leap across buildings and blow holes into concrete... using [[{{Fartillery}} farts]].
