19* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Even without their {{BondCreature}}s, Shakura's entire tribe are the embodiment of this trope.
20* CrapsackWorld: The world is filled with ravenous beasts the roam the bush by day and murderous spirits which rule the bush by night forcing people to band together into tight knit villages and making the concepts of adventuring and trading synonyms with madness.

22* FacialMarkings: Every single member of the ''Taka'' tribe has these tattooed into their face at a young age.
23* FeministFantasy: Downplayed, but it's there. Women are equals in terms of political power and physical/magical power. Warrior women and stay at home fathers are just as common as Male warriors and stay at home moms.
24* ImportantHaircut: Shakura has one off-screen, just minutes before the story begins and this fact is touched upon in the first chapter.
25* [[MedievalStasis Iron-Age Stasis]]: Expansion is near impossible, and most efforts go into day to day survival and protection.
26* NatureHero: The Taka tribe is filled with these in fact the majority of the world is, though Shakura herself is a subversion.
27* LightEmUp: Malwii's default and most powerful attack. Overlaps with HolyHandGrenade.
28* LowFantasy: Downplayed, magic is rare but not unheard of in the world.
29* {{Lunacy}}: Subverted. Shakura's tribe does get magical power from moonlight as do their bond creatures but they suffer no mental changes.
