* UrbanFantasy: The story takes place in a world that has and has always had the presence of magic and hon-human sapients. However the technology is modern and while the exact location is kept vague at least some real places are mentioned, such as Rei being half Japanese, suggesting an alternate Earth.

Added DiffLines:

* HunterOfMonsters: Any Amadronia student that reaches the fourth year is required to join the "March For Public Safety," an organisation of magic capable individuals who hunt down dangerous magical creatures and criminal demihumans. Those in earlier years can also volunteer. This was intended to foster closer relations between humans and demihumans by making them jointly responsible for magical law enforcement. Unfortunately other demihumans saw it as an excuse for humans to kill demihumans, nicknamed it "The Hunt" and labelled any demihumans joining as TheQuisling.

Added DiffLines:

* HornyDevils: Sable's apathetic teacher is a succubus. She is accused of seducing students but we see not evidence of this in game and it may just be people assuming. She ''is'' interested in Sable but only for his skill at spell design.


Added DiffLines:

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The school doctor, Raphael, claims to be an angel. She looks the part, blond, golden hair, feathery wings, but several people are sceptical.

* {{Sizeshifter}}: Tix (and pixies in general) have learned how to grow to human sized. They prefer their own tiny size but need to get bigger to get pregnant by human males.

Added DiffLines:

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Tix, Sable's pixie roommate. She's quite happy hanging around their room naked and (given that she's normally tiny) showering in the sink. She's well aware of the effect this has on a human male but doesn't mind. In fact she's kinda counting on it, since part of her reason for being at the school is to get pregnant.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCharmer: Sable's [[TheFaceless featureless]] classmate causes those who meet them to fall in love with them. Stronger minds, like Sable's, are able to throw this effect off. Thankfully Hel doesn't seem inclined to do more with this ability than flirt a lot.


Added DiffLines:

* TheFaceless: Hel, one of Sable's classmates, lacks a face. They also lack a discernible gender.

Added DiffLines:

* CerebusSyndrome: Jorou's route. Rei and Eth's route and Tix's route are both fairly light hearted and while Lisha and Drakon's route can get pretty intense they also maintain some humour. Jorou's route quickly plunges into ''very'' dark territory and stays there throughout.


Added DiffLines:

* PassFail: As long as she doesn't extend her neck Rei looks completely human and generally pretends to be so to avoid FantasticRacism. Doing so has left her feeling like she's always lying to everyone and this is the main reason she latches so strongly onto Sable, a human who knows what she is and doesn't mind.

Added DiffLines:

* BreatherEpisode: Rei and Eth's route and Tix's route, in comparison to the others. Lower stakes, less bad endings (none at all on Rei and Eth's route) and even the darker moments are nowhere near as dark as the other three routes can get.

Added DiffLines:

* CelibateHero: Sable is focused on his studies and has no time for romantic entanglements, at least for the moment. Some of the routes can lead him to waver in that position.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Drakon on her own route. Apparently it's an extension of the mindset that leads to [[DragonHoard Dragon Hoards]].


Added DiffLines:

* GorgeousGorgon: Meara. Thankfully the turning-to-stone thing is under her control, allowing her to be friends with Sable without causing him to be TakenForGranite.

* FantasticRacism: All over the place. The humans of the setting seem to generally despise all demihumans and frequently abuse them in various ways. Many of the demihumans respond in kind.

Added DiffLines:

* PlantPerson: Eth, who is a mandragora. She from the waist up she looks human except for a flower on her head but from the waist down she has petals instead of legs. This gives her a very slow walking speed.

* AboveTheInfluence: Sable proves himself this on Lisha's route. [[spoiler: They're stuck in a situation where they need to perform a spell that requires a strong emotional connection to pull off. Lisha tries to force the connection by having sex with him. Sable responds by picking up an artefact that forces the target to tell the truth and asks if she really wants to. She is forced to admit that, much as she is coming to like Sable, she does not, at least not yet. As such Sable turns down the offer.]]

to:

* RomanceGame: Averted Despite the game's routes being based around the school's female characters this is averted on some routes, subverted to various degress straight on others.others, in large part because Sable himself is rather resistant to romance.

WeakButSkilled: Sable himself. As a human he possesses much less magical potential than most demihumans but he's a genius at designing spells. When more powerful people use his spells they tend to be ''very'' effective.
