* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: The first chapter plays Mai as an awkward schoolgirl around her friends. It is explained away as her being a sheltered girl and was hospitalized during the first school days. However, there's another, bigger reason revealed at the end... She actually was a guy. This twist then becomes one of the driving points of the story as a whole.

* ResurrectionSeeker: In ch. 11, the guardians of the Adsequi Grimoire (aka the Grimoire of Pursuit) tells the story of the very first StudentCouncilPresident who was [[TheAce very influential to the academy and later the NOL,]] until her beloved died; she then tirelessly pursued a way to resurrect the dead, until she comes across the grimoire, which absorbed her soul into it. Even after that, the girl is still trying to resurrect her beloved by manipulating the Azure, but she gets nothing but failures. In the end, it's revealed through Mai's ability that [[ItWasWithYouAllAlong the soul of the girl's beloved is already right besides her]], in the form of the flowers surrounding the statue (the grimoire). The girl, named Elina, is so happy to [[TogetherInDeath be reunited by her lover's soul]] that she releases herself from the grimoire and thanks Mai.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Played with. The fact that Mai is from the Hazuki house of the Duodecim is known as early as ch. 2, but there's how Tsubaki, Jin and Kagura (also from the Duodecim) remark in different occasions that they've seen someone like her before. It does, however, lead to the InternalReveal in ch. 23 that shows to them (mainly Tsubaki) that yes, she is (was?) Mai Hazuki.

* DramaticIrony: In ch. 10 and 11, the team goes finding hints of the Azure Grimoire in the lower levels of the city, but in the end they technically didn't find anything. But little did Mai knew that the guy she met when she's separated from the others (who got hounded by the "zombies" and ended up outside) had the Azure Grimoire with him.



* ForbiddenZone: The lower elevation areas of the city is filled with thick seithr and is thus harmful to people. Our team naturally goes there a few times, trying to find grimoires.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Within the Remix Heart, Tsubaki is the cynic, Makoto the optimist, Kajun the realist, and Noel and Mai the conflicted.



* LethalChef: Noel's "quality" is shown more here. Apparently, her cooking is so atrocious that Miss Emma uses it to punish anyone who didn't do their cleanup job well. Mai, however, notes that it tastes so awesome (because she can feel through the food that Noel pours all of her pure heart into it) that later she would eat nothing but her cooking.

Kajun is a different kind of snob: she's so spoiled that she doesn't do her laundry - instead she has Mai do it. Even for her undies.

* BecomingTheMask: Mai tries to pass for a normal girl as she wants to keep her true identity a secret. As a result she deliberately uses feminine speech patterns (such as the first person pronoun "watashi" instead of the more masculine "boku" she had used as a boy) and generally attempts to act as a girl even though she considers herself to be a boy in a girl's body. [[spoiler:Eventually however she comes to think of herself a girl.]]

* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Mai is mentally affected by her transformation into a girl. This is most obvious in that over the course of the series she loses interest in girls and instead starts being attracted to boys, even falling in love with a male student. More subtly, it can be seen in the way Mai gradually becomes more comfortable with being surrounded by girls and stops thinking herself as being different from other girl. The realization that she has fallen in love with a boy actually causes her to conclude that she has become female in both body and mind, which in turn leads to an identity crisis as she worries that she is no longer the person she was before her transformation into a girl. This is resolved near the end of the manga [[spoiler:when Mai decides that she doesn't care if she has changed as she is happy living the way she is.]]

Behind them, however, Akane noted that all of the objectives given to all groups are meant to be impossible anyway; the fact that our team basically did the impossible intrigued them and Miss Emma.

Which basically means Kajun saves Tsubaki from getting a PyrrhicVictory. Later on Tsubaki just walks into the student council room and meets Jin by herself, readying to work as a student council member under him.
** Also inverted in
ch. 6; in the athletic contest, the titular team comes the last on finding their objectives... but Jin and Akane still give them the MVP title because other groups brought out frauds/facsimiles (i.e those whose objective was "Six Heroes" only brought with them paraphernalia of said heroes) while team Remix Heart brought a genuine grimoire. Behind them, however, Akane noted that grimoire, and all of the those objectives given to all groups are meant supposed to be impossible anyway; if done exactly. [[spoiler:Behind them, however, Jin notes that, of all the fact that our team basically did objective cards given to the impossible intrigued contestants, he doesn't recall one of them being a grimoire. This intrigues him and Miss Emma.]]
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Mai has shades of this with Kajun. Later on, Shiori blatantly admits to loving Mai as well. That's not even going into all the loving moments between each member of the Remix Heart that cement their friendship.


Added DiffLines:

* SeriousBusiness: In ch. 4, Mai takes "slacking off from cleaning duty" seriously because she'll get to eat Noel's cooking if she does.
** In ch. 5, Makoto takes winning the athletics festival seriously. We see why later: apparently the rules say it's okay for each contestant to take down each other. And Kajun noted that some contestants in previous festivals who went on to find the objectives needed didn't come back.


Added DiffLines:

* SpeakOfTheDevil:
** In ch. 2, before the school festival starts, our protagonists are discussing the previous year's "Izanagi" (i.e the title given to the star of the festival, along with "Izanami"), but they don't namedrop anyone until said "Izanagi" stumbles upon them: Jin.
** In ch. 6, Mai wonders where the Azure Grimoire might be. Cut to a shot to someone in Torifune's woods... who's none other than teenage Ragna.


Added DiffLines:

* TwoTeacherSchool: The only teachers we ever see in the school are Miss Emma and Professor Seifer Albar.

* ShipTease: Jin & Tsubaki, even more so than the main series considering the former hasn't devolved into his homicidal, insane self yet and the latter's crush on him is even more blatant.
** There's also Taro and Mai, particularly after their AccidentalKiss and she develops a crush on him for the remainder of the series.

For characters introduced in this series, [[Characters/BlazblueNonPlayerCharacters see here.]]



* TheCameo: Ragna, Jubei, Hazama, Relius, and Kokonoe all make an appearance in at least one chapter.
* DemotedToExtra: While he isn't exactly an "extra", Jin is mostly a supporting character in this series.
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[HandsomeLech Kagura]] debuts in this series in one chapter, quite a few months from his playable debut in VideoGame/BlazblueChronophantasma.

to:

* AbortedArc: Around the first book, a concern is made by Miss Emma that the team somehow finds/stumbles upon a number of grimoires pretty easily, and concluding that something may conspire against them. [[spoiler:While it can be argued that all of them were Seifer Albar's doing (as he wanted someone to make a perfect merge with a grimoire to form a Remix Heart), it isn't clear how much he was involved within it, so]] It is never fully resolved. Miss Emma also refers to herself as "Agent E" when talking to a phone at one point, but it's never made clear what she was talking about.
* TheCameo: Ragna, Jubei, Hazama, Relius, and Kokonoe all make an appearance in at least one chapter.

* LighterAndSofter: While it does have its serious moments, the series is mostly a comical SliceOflife series compared to very dark atmosphere of the video games.
* FirstLawOfGenderBending: Mai's condition is basically irreversible [[spoiler: but he (she?) comes to accept it in the end]]
* SecondLawOfGenderBending: And her life significantly improves after being turned into a girl.
* SliceOfLife: While there is an overarching plot, its whacky high school hi-jinks for the most part.

* FiveManBand: The titular Remix Heart.
** TheLeader: Mai Natsume (of the charismatic type; her friends just instinctively does whatever she tells them to do)
** TheLancer: Kajun Faycott
** TheSmartGirl: Tsubaki Yayoi
** TheBigGirl: Makoto Nanaya
** TheChick: Noel Vermillion
** SixthRanger: Shiori Kirihito (joined much later)
* FuroScene: Happens a couple of times, mostly involving the titular team. CensorSteam is also involved as well.
* LethalChef: Noel's "quality" is shown more here. Apparently, her cooking is so atrocious that Miss Emma uses it to punish anyone who didn't do their cleanup job well. Mai, however, notes that it tastes so awesome (because she can feel through the food that Noel pours all of her pure heart into it) that later she would eat nothing but her cooking.
* LighterAndSofter: While it does have its serious moments, the series is mostly a comical SliceOfLife series compared to very dark atmosphere of the video games.
* MagicMirror: The grimoire named Ammit Cryas takes form of this. It shows within the mirror the "true self" of the one holding it.[[note]]Kajun nearly revealed her "true self" (i.e being a Sector Seven DoubleAgent) before she threw it away, while Mai also gets ahold of it and we just see a silhouette[[/note]] But as Kajun noted, gazing at the mirror for too long may lead to you being absorbed into it.
* PyrrhicVictory: Inverted in ch. 6; in the athletic contest, the titular team comes the last on finding their objectives... but Jin and Akane still give them the MVP title because other groups brought out frauds/facsimiles (i.e those whose objective was "Six Heroes" only brought with them paraphernalia of said heroes) while team Remix Heart brought a genuine grimoire.

girl. Being put in a more normal life with good friends (as "he" was a sheltered aristocrat) really helps.
* ShapeshifterIdentityCrisis: Mai constantly struggles with her gender identity throughout the manga. She enjoys the warm and fuzzy feeling that she gets from her new life, but at the same time she fears about 2 opposite things: the time where the truth of her condition may be revealed to her friends (as they all wanted to "turn her to normal"), or the time where she "loses" her real self. [[spoiler:Both of them are eventually resolved near the end of the manga.]] On a more humorous note, at first she has a hard time adjusting herself to look at naked female bodies normally, having blushes and occasional nosebleeds.
* SliceOfLife: While there is an overarching plot, its whacky it's about wacky high school hi-jinks for the most part.



part.
* ThemeNaming: Most of the chapter titles has "The Case of" ("...Jiken!" in Japanese) on them. It refers to how the titular team is a "detective team". This also applies to the bonus chapters in ''CPEX''.
* TitleDrop: "Remix Heart" was first namedropped in ch. 2 by Kajun as the name of their group. [[spoiler:Then much later, Seifer reveals that a perfect combination of a grimoire and a person will create a "Remix Heart", an item that is a main component of his desired creation, the Crimson Grimoire.]]
* YonKoma: The manga has them as omakes where they all made fun of the things happening in the manga itself.

The 15th Hierarchical City of Torifune is best known as the Military Academy for the NOL. There, future librarians train and hone their skills for whatever challenges may await them outside. The story centers around [[GenderBender Mai Natsume]], a girl who had just arrived late due to a week absence, but there seems to be several phenomenons centering around her that could be more than just coincidence.
