* OurZombiesAreDifferent: While the zombies are standard issue for the most part, there is one symptom of zombification that is different than most. If amputation of an infected limb is successful, there's a chance that the infection is still present and can affect the brain, as shown with [[spoiler: Elise's near total amnesia]].

* {{Adorkable}}: All of the main cast are this in varying ways, but Hotaru is the stand out example; she's [[CannotSpitItOut easily]] [[LuminescentBlush flustered]] whenever romance is involved (''especially'' whenever with Kayla), [[GoshdangItToHeck refuses to curse]], and [[{{Squee}} squees]] whenever she gossips with a friend.

The world's turned upside down and the girls seem to be handling the changes way better than Jeff, who has troubles adjusting. A close-knit group of friends, the girls are eager to tackle this new world with its challenges!"

This webtoon provides examples of:

* AdultsAreUseless: Played with. Jeff, the coach, is generally less useful than the girls under his care, partially because he's not as GenreSavvy about the situation (and partially because he rapidly loses a hand as a result.) The adults who set up the safe zone aren't useless, but the girls refuse to accept their help. [[spoiler:And in the end, most of the adults there turn out to be pretty useless... but not all of them.]]
* BilingualBonus: When Lyanna asks the old man to say something in Finnish, he says [[spoiler:that she reminds him of his daughter.]]
* GenreSavvy: The reason the girls have survived as long as they have (and the reason, for the most part, AdultsAreUseless.)
* WhamLine: [[spoiler:"Because... at some point, someone will make a mistake." And as Hotaru says that this is the real reason they don't trust the Safe Zone, we're shown it happening.]]
* WrongGenreSavvy: Zig-zagged. The girls refuse to accept help from the adults setting up the Safe Zone, because that's always a bad idea in a ZombieApocoylpse setting. [[spoiler:But as it turns out, Hotaru had a much better reason for avoiding it than it seemed at first... and she was right.]]
