History ComicBook / Djinn

* UndressingTheUnconscious: After being knocked out by Amin's henchman Kemal, Kim wakes up in a blue dress with a NavelDeepNeckline. While relatively modest, she is annoyed that Amin saw her naked and dressed her while she was unconscious.

* SequelNonentity: Malek is Kim's guide, protector, and then lover all through the Ottoman Cycle arc. Though both declare they love each other, Kim permanently departs from Malek after concluding her search in that cycle, as legend claims her djinn heritage makes her deadly to be in love with and curses her to be forever alone. Malek doesn’t appear and goes unmentioned all through the following cycles.

* MsFanservice: Jade and Kim. Not only do both spend lots of time nude in the comic, but most covers feature them in this way. While Jade is a harem girl and was actually groomed to seduce and please, Kim gets forced into it as a requirement or "payment" to learn of Jade's history. Kim later does it and practices seduction of her own volition to experience Jade's mindset.

* DisappearedDad: Nothing whatsoever is shown or mentioned about Kim's father. Kim having her grandfather's surname Nelson suggests her mother didn't marry her father.

** Kim's mother (Wanda) -- Jade's daughter -- whose recent death started Kim on her journey, is only glimpsed as a baby, and once as TheFaceless in one of Kim's reminiscences, with only a few details of her life described through the series.

* MsFanservice: Jade. Not only does she spend more time nude in the comic than any other female character, but most covers feature her in this way too. She is a harem girl and was actually groomed to seduce and please.

* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Rather than wish-granting spirits, they are something like Middle-Eastern HornyDevils that can enthrall people with their beauty, but are completely devoid of feeling and compassion themselves.

* HornyDevils: The Djinn are a borderline example as highly desirable beings of supernatural power, but also devoid of the ability to genuinely love, though Jade eventually falls for both Nelsons. Kim picks up some traits from her grandmother, like her immense beauty.

* LoveMartyr: Despite Jade manipulating and using both Lord and Lady Nelson over the years, the Nelsons both remain obsessively in love in her. [[spoiler: In the end, this would cost them their lives, with both killed in Africa, though Jade would avenge their deaths.]]

* GoGoEnslavement: After being knocked out by Amin's henchman Kemal, Kim wakes up in a blue dress with AbsoluteCleavage. While relatively modest, she is annoyed that Amin saw her naked and dressed her while she was unconscious.

** [[LaserGuidedKarma Karmically done]] to [[spoiler:Kemal when Amin hands him over to Fazila's girls to be punished for beating up one of their friends]].

* AbsurdlyElderlyMother: [[spoiler:It's specified that Jade's daughter -- Kim's mother -- was born just before or during World War I. In the last volume a character notes that Kim Nelson's recorded date of birth would mean that her mother would been about 75 years old when Kim was born. The person noting this brushes it aside as [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane either nonsense or something else]] was going on there.]]
