* PeculiarPenguin: Ginji was reincarnated as an Adelie penguin, but he was a skilled fighter before his death, and has learned to incorporate his fighting skills into being a penguin. Occasionally penguin instincts kick in but otherwise he usually acts as a human in penguin form. The fact that he has exceptional fighting skills for a penguin leads to a lot of comedy, especially his favorite move of [[PainToTheAss punching his wingtip up a bad guy's butt]].

Added DiffLines:

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Most of the manga is a lighthearted romantic comedy, but two antagonists are notably dark. The first is a killer who disguises himself as a member of law enforcement [[spoiler:and ends up alone with Minako in a cabin, planning to murder her to hide his trail. He gets as far as strangling her unconscious before Ginji makes it to her rescue]]. The other is the gang member who arranges for Ginji's death. Not only does he show no concern over killing multiple people (besides Ginji, he attempted to murder Musashi and Minako), puts Minako in an IHaveYouNowMyPretty situation [[spoiler:after getting out of prison]], and [[spoiler:tries to kill Minako and Gin with a truck after they escape from him]]. He's so creepy that the gang who hired him to get payback on Ginji and Musashi are terrified of him and think his methods are too extreme.
