* AudioAdaptation: There have been three drama [=CDs=] so far, and three more have been announced. They're notably LighterAndSofter than the manga.



* HighSchoolAU: The characters occasionally get thrown in one in the manga omakes, although there is NoFourthWall and they're all too aware that they're just playing roles. The third drama CD also has an episode set completely in this AU.



* IdenticalTwinIDTag: The vampire twins at Misono's house. Julie has long hair while Marie's hair is short.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Irony}}: "Deal with," the title of the anime's opening song, considering that Kuro's CatchPhrase is "Can't deal." Becomes even more ironic (and meaningful) once you realize the opening song's singer is also [[BigBad Tsubaki]]'s voice actor.

Added DiffLines:

* ShapeshifterModeLock: C3 appears to be able to do this to the Servamps, as shown when Kuro (in cat form) sits on Mahiru's head when they enter the base and suddenly finds himself transformed into human form and unable to move. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments While he's still sitting on Mahiru's head.]]

* DaywalkingVampire: Tsubaki and his subclass, as they are completely immune to sunlight. Downplayed with the other Servamps; they're unaffected by daylight, the only thing harmful to them is direct sunlight - and even then they simply transform into their animal forms.


Added DiffLines:

* WeakenedByTheLight: Downplayed; the Servamps are only affected by direct sunlight, and even then they only transform into animals. For their subclass, however, sunlight is one out of two possible ways to die.

* IdenticalPanelGag: The two yonkoma omakes about C3 trying to decide who has to buy lunch make use of this. The first and last respective panels are identical in both strips, except for the slightly altered dialogue.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The ending theme is sung by Creator/TakumaTerashima, Mahiru's seiyuu. The opening also qualifies to an extent; it's a song by OLDCODEX, whose singer is Creator/TatsuhisaSuzuki - who also voices Tsubaki.

Servamp follows Shirota Mahiru, the kind of guy who likes to keep things simple and hates dealing with complicated issues. One day, he picks up a stray cat he found starving on the street. The next day, when he comes home, he finds a person eating his food and watching his TV in the cat's place. A person who can transform back into a cat.

This person is Sleepy Ash, and is actually an incredibly powerful, shapeshifting vampire--one of the Seven Vampires of the Deadly Sins. The only problem is that he's the vampire of Sloth, and is incredibly lazy. However, after drinking Shirota's blood and donning the name Kuro, he becomes his servant and must fight against the mysterious eigth sin 'Melancholy' who wants to start a war between the vampires.

* AnAesop: Face your fears and don't run away from them. And trust your friends.



* ArtEvolution: The characters look older and less cutesy as the story goes on, and the shading style also changes quite a bit over the course of the series, just like the amount of detail.



* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The most powerful vampires must each serve a human whose blood they drink, and have other weaker vampires under their control.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The most powerful vampires must each serve a human whose blood they drink, and have other weaker vampires under their control. The Servamps also don't have to drink blood to survive, and even when they do, they don't actually feed on their Eve's blood but on their willpower.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: One of the central themes of the series.

* {{Mukokuseki}}: For the characters in general, with quite a few Japanese blondes or redheads (although this is a YouGottaHaveBlueHair work, so those aren't even the most unlikely hair colors), and for the Servamps in particular. None of them (except for Tsubaki, probably) are originally Japanese, but their original ethnicities are impossible to tell, even InUniverse.
