The plot revolves around Kitty Pryde adjusting to her own mutation and new school specifically created for mutants, Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters. But there's a twist- she's the only girl at the school.

* CrazyJealousGuy: After they start dating, Pyro becomes jealous whenever Kitty interacts with other boys -- which, since there's otherwise nothing ''but'' boys in the school, becomes a problem pretty quickly.

* CatGirl: Presumably as a {{pun}} on her name, the comic occasionally shows Kitty turning into one when she expresses strong emotions.

* NoNameGiven: Gambit makes a few appearances in the comic, but he goes unnamed.
* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:Havok ends up losing control of his powers during the New York trip, sending himself and Professor Xavier to the hospital in the aftermath.]]

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Quicksilver is depicted with dark skin and his signature silver hair.

%% * BastardBoyfriend: Pyro to Kitty.
%% * CastFullOfPrettyBoys
%% * CampStraight: A definitely unintentional version with the Hellfire Club.
%% * CanonForeigner: Kitty's two sisters, who appeared for all of one page.
%% * {{Chickification}}: Any effective trait Kitty possessed in her original incarnation is removed, leaving her Pyro's doormat.
%% * CrazyJealousGuy: Pyro to Kitty.
%% * CoolShades: Forge, Scott, and Pyro.
%% * DudeLooksLikeALady: '''Longshot'''.
%% * FireIceDuo: Kitty's two love interests are Pyro and Iceman.
%% * LoveMartyr: In a huge departure from her original character, Kitty for Pyro.
%% * MakeoutKids: Kitty and Pyro.

%% * PluckyGirl: The writers try so hard to make Kitty this. [[LoveMartyr It doesn't]] [[DistressBall work out]].
%% * ScholarshipStudent: Kitty, though she openly admits that her grades are only average.
%% * SmittenTeenageGirl: Kitty.
%% * TheBeautifulElite: The Hellfire Club

* AmbiguouslyGay: Not only could he legitimately pass for a girl, Longshot is only interested in giving Kitty fashion tips, and he dresses in a fur-trimmed zebra-stripe flaring trenchcoat with a leopard-print fedora, as seen [[http://www.comicvine.com/longshot/29-6757/alternate-earths-futures-realities/108-10631/x_men_misfits_045/105-956061/ here]].

* AdaptationalDumbass: Comic!Kitty was a TeenGenius, but here she's unable to understand basic geometry, or manage to work her powers properly after weeks of training.

* OneGenderSchool: Xavier's Academy, before Kitty arrives. But it's not specifically for boys; for no given reason, Kitty just so happens to be the first female mutant to attend in half a decade.

* InNameOnly: Kitty Pryde. Her lack of combat skills can be explained by her status as a civilian until recently, but she retains none of her spunky spiritedness, determination, or courage. Her academic talents, computer skills, and Judaism have been removed; she has no interests beyond her boyfriend, whom she allows to order her around like she's some sort of servant. She holds the DistressBall and seems totally incapable of rationalizing when it would be a good time to use her powers.
** Quicksilver seems to be an animated, happy-go-lucky type who's interested in fashion shows.
** Taking with the movies, Pyro is no longer Australian, but he's also a {{Jerkass}} elitist and Kitty's borderline abusive BastardBoyfriend.
** Sabretooth, who normally would be a hazard to the students at the school is apparently the Hellfire Club's servant, whom they kept chained and collared, as if he couldn't simply break free with his superior strength.

* FollowTheLeader: The book's general premise, with TheBeautifulElite as the UnwantedHarem, is suspiciously similar to ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''.

* LowestCommonDenominator: ''Misfits'' is basically an attempt to sway manga fans to comics and invokes all sorts of manga tropes without any idea of how to use such tropes, while trying to encourage new readers by throwing away the mainstream established personalities of various characters.

* PanderingToTheBase: The story is mostly romance with a little action thrown in at the end, in an obvious attempt to sway the interest of young teenage girls. Kitty's lack of personality could also be another attempt at pandering through [[SelfInsertFic self-insert]].

* StrangledByTheRedString: [[spoiler: Kitty and Bobby. The two barely interacted, he always seemed disinterested in her, Kitty never had any concrete interest or chemistry with him, but there a hint at a LastMinuteHookup at the end of the story.]]

* DesignatedProtagonistSyndrome: A doorknob would have more personality than our lovely heroine.

In the theory, this general premise is not a bad idea. But fan reactions indicate that [[LoveItOrHateIt the manga is rather polarizing]]. While casual fans find it fun and interesting, traditionalists [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks dislike the total revamp on characterization and general lack of action within the story]].

Discussion of the manga's quality is generally divided: some claim it fulfills its purpose as a fun read and never promised anything more, while others firmly state LowestCommonDenominator.
