History Manga / ServantXService

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The anime uses different UsefulNotes/JapaneseRomanization schemes inconsistently for the two names that were romanized on screen. Touko was shown on-screen as "To'''h'''ko," which uses so-called "passport Hepburn." On the other hand, Jyoji, whose name appeared on-screen on a business card, is in the unofficial wapuro which should not have been used in such a situation. Fans alternatively use "Jouji", which is not correct either. Strictly speaking, the name is "Joji" in Hepburn, and "Zyoji" in Kunrei-shiki.

* {{Yonkoma}}

** BedmateReveal: What happened the next morning, at least from Lucy's POV.

-->'''Touko:''' What's wrong with this year's newcomers?! [[TheCasanova Hitting on a girl]], [[RamblingOldManMonologue summoning an old lady]], [[OverlyLongName having a ridiculous name]]?!!

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The opening and ending themes are sung by Creator/AiKayano, Creator/MaiNakahara and Creator/AkiToyosaki, in-character as Lucy, Miyoshi and Chihaya, respectively.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: They're all {{Long Title}}s in the form of some type of helpful tip.

* LongTitle: The episode titles are often very long.

* MeaningfulName: "Yamagami" means "god of mountains". [[GagBoobs Well, two, at least]].

* BishieSparkle: Appears around some characters occasionally. Interestingly, Hasebe tends to sport [[Manga/{{Working}} Souma]]-esque black and grey sparkles.

* DysfunctionJunction: Much like ''Manga/{{Working}}'', its spiritual predecessor, the story's staple comedy runs on the trivial personal insecurities of every character. The insecurities include:

* RecycledINSPACE: ''Manga/{{Working}}'' IN A GOVERNMENT OFFICE.

* StealthSequel: [[spoiler: Todoroki and Satou from ''Manga/{{Working}}'' appear here HappilyMarried]].

* RealityEnsues: In TheStinger of Episode 1, Lucy and Hasebe are lectured by a sempai for the former chasing the latter around the office due to some inappropriate remarks about her.

* ThemeTuneCameo:
** Lucy hums the theme song in episode 9.
** Hasebe plays out the opening theme in an arcade RhythmGame in episode 11.

* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: While most of the main characters have InvisibleParents, it's usually acknowledged that they do have parents. Except for Ichimiya, whose only family seems to be his sister.

* NameOrderConfusion: ''InUniverse''. When Jyoji presents his card to Lucy in episode 8, the romaji on his card reads "Tanaka Jyoji," which is the Eastern order that Japanese won't use in a Latin spelling.
