The human being is a very complex creature. Their worldviews, thought processes and personalities are shaped and defined by many factors, such as their [[NatureVersusNurture genetics, upbringing and environment]]. Alas, in Korea, and other East Asian countries, people are often judged based on their blood types alone, and blood-based personality stereotyping are still often used to gauge one's job suitability and relational compatibility.

* ThrowTheDogABone: After 200 chapters, Type O finally manages to outperform Type AB.

As you know, the human being is a very complex creature.

** A recurring school bus driver is modeled after Heihachi from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''

* PersonalityBloodtypes: The very premise of the comic explores the stereotypical behaviours of the personifications of the four blood types and how these characteristics manifest in their daily life[=/=]interactions. However, the author has made it clear from the beginning that personality is ''not'' determined by blood type alone, and has occasionally drawn strips to defy the trope.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: [[invoked]] In chapter 94, the author reveals that the blood type personifications are based on people he knows (Type O is based on the Author himself, Type A is based on his dad, Type B is based on his mom and several other friends, while Type AB is based on an extra-curricular friend). Also, several strips are explicitly stated to be exaggerated accounts of the author's personal experiences and reader-submitted stories.

It starts out with a typical BoyMeetsGirl scenario; a couple, meeting for the first time on a blind date, initiates their conversation by asking each other's blood type...
