7	----
8	!!This manga contains examples of:
9	* AllLovingHeroine: Hikari
10	* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Kotori and Kotoha.
11	* AmbiguousInnocence: Nagi, a kitten who became a humanoid ''shinigami'' after he died but has since been traumatized into amnesia, still has his soul-reaping claws (sword-blades on his hands à la [[Manga/OnePiece Capt. Kuro]]). He loves his "mama" and won't hesitate to "make squishy" anyone who hurts her, including a pair of [[Manga/BlackLagoon Hansel and Gretel]] {{expy}}s.
12	* BrokenBird: Hikari, whose TraumaCongaLine is implied to have begun in a past life before the one she remembers and is still going on. And yet she somehow manages to stay positive.
13	* CoordinatedClothes: Kotori and Kotoha.
14	* DarkAndTroubledPast:
15	** In life, Hikari was [[spoiler: a clone created for the sole purpose of donating her internal organs to Hotaru--meaning she was effectively raised to be sacrificed]].
16	** Ryouma is implied to have one.
17	** Also, the twins shinigamis were sex slaves. And they're ''children''.
18	** In fact, most shinigamis have such a past, seeing as suicide is a requirement to get the job.
19	* DiedOnTheirBirthday: It's {{Implied\|Trope}} that on Hotaru's 15th birthday she allowed herself to die (essentially suicide, and only suicides become [[GrimReaper reapers]]) so that the "real" Hotaru she was cloned from could get her organs, hence why her soul is different from the other reapers.
20	* DontFearTheReaper: Hikari is a very cheerful and friendly shinigami, to the dismay of her colleagues.
21	* DrivenToSuicide:
22	** Upon discovering that [[spoiler: she was a clone and realizing that saving her own life would condemn Hotaru]], that's the path Hikari chose.
23	** Shinigamis are souls who commited that particular sin.
24	* LoveTriangle: Sort of. Councillor Ikki is in love with Hikari, who herself is in love with Ryouma. Ryouma's feeling are unclear for now.
25	* MagneticPlotDevice: The Akashic Record.
26	* PolarOppositeTwins: Kotori was a AllLovingHeroine and Kotoha is... not.
27	* ScaryShinyGlasses: Hikari's "teacher" in her memories wore them.
28	* {{Shinigami}}: They are souls who committed the sin of suicide but met certain requirements and so were given the opportunity to redeem themselves by taking this job. Their duty is to escort the souls of the deceased to the Gate of Judgement, where it will be decided whether they are to go to Heaven or Hell.
29	* SinisterScythe: Played straight with most shinigamis; notably averted by Hikari, whose "scythe" is in fact a giant ''spoon''.
30	* ThemeTwinNaming: '''Koto'''ri and '''Koto'''ha.
