| 7 | !!This manga contains the following tropes: |
| 8 | * AdaptationExpansion: Some patients' stories are greatly expanded on in the live action. An example is Yano from the first chapter: while her final fate is left unknown, it's revealed she's decided to get a job and leave her newborn baby Kokoro in the hospital's care until she's financially stable enough to properly care for her. |
| 9 | * AscendedFanboy: One of Koundori's patients, Haruka, mentions she loves Baby and wants to be a jazz pianist just like him. When her parents take her to one of Baby's concert on her birthday, Baby takes a moment to let Haruka play piano with her. |
| 10 | * BittersweetEnding: Some patients don't have happy endings, but there are still glimmers of hope for them. For example, in "Anencephaly", the Kawamuras have a stillbirth, but a year later they were finally able to have a child, with both parents keeping the dead Tsubasa in their hearts. |
| 11 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: It's shown in flashbacks Kounodori was an orphan who was bullied for not having parents. |
| 12 | * MeaningfulName: Kounodori's stage name as Baby is a clear reference to main career. |
| 13 | * SecretKeeper: Only a few select doctors at the hospital knows Baby and Kounodori are one and the same. |
| 14 | * ShownTheirWork: Most of the medical fact shown as quite accurate and covers serious topics. |
| 15 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Some of Baby's concerts don't have him attending concerts at all due to his rather erratic schedule as a doctor. |
| 16 | * TeenPregnancy: Covered in one episode with the mother wondering if she should abort it. |
