Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan/YMMV

" Rikuo: Like I said, your heart and your body... entrust everything to me!!"
 * Accidental Innuendo: This here is a... interesting choice of words.


 * Fan-Preferred Couple: People often prefer Tsurara as Rikuo's main love interest over Kana.
 * Fridge Brilliance: It doesn't seem to make sense that a yokai group would be so fervent about defending humans. But then:  and
 * Ho Yay: Just chapter 113, that is all...


 * Rikuo jumps him from behined, promoting Itaku to reply that he himself wants to rough him (rikuo) a bit, too.
 * (referring to Rikuo and Itaku) "You two are so cute together~"
 * Chapter 114: Itaku is.
 * Tamazuki and Inugami, especially in the anime adaptation.
 * Hagoromo Gitsune eats hearts by kissing. She is partial to girls' hearts. Crosses a bit over into Squick and Psycho Lesbian.
 * And now in chapter 122 Kurotabou gives us this jewel.
 * Rikuo and Zen
 * Also in Ch 114:
 * Jami and his Lord to the point that his Lord's wife was jealous.
 * Tall, dark, handsome, long-haired opponents Rihan and Kurotabou during the Edo period oh, ho so much.
 * Humans Are Morons: A nice sized mob anyway as they listened to some strange creature that just appeared and rumors said it always told the truth about the future making them attack a kid none of them knew.
 * Moe: Just... Yuki-onna
 * Nightmare Fuel: Hagoromo Gitsune is giving birth to an ancient evil. Rikuo and the Nura Clan has to kill her before that happens. So essentially what they have to do is kill a pregnant woman.
 * Appearance of many youkai. Especially "XX Village"!
 * Squick: At first, Night Rikuo looks like a bishonen with long hair... until you realize that he has an elongated skull like his grandfather, meaning he actually has short hair on a xenomorph-like head. Though, of course, many people would be able to look past that.
 * Funny thing is, author himself seems to forget this half the time and treats it like a normal hair.
 * It's implied that Nurarihyon's head is like that because he's so old (one of those senior citizen things), of course, this also serves to make him better resemble the classic depiction of Nurarihyon.
 * EVERYTHING about Hagoromo Gitsune : an immortal fox demon which possess women bodies to survive and eats human kidneys in order to give birth to ancient evil monster that is already fully aware and intelligent while in her womb. Nightmare Fuel personified? Sure looks like it.
 * Sanmoto Gorōzaemon. Just, Sanmoto. Even Minagoroshi Jizou has nothing on him - oh wait...
 * Tear Jerker: Chapter 133,
 * Too Cool to Live: Nura Rihan
 * Viewer Gender Confusion: It's a bit of a shock when the Onmyouji Pato is referred to as male.
