Line 19:
The name is pronounced [[No Pronunciation Guide|''holic'']], by the way. The '×××' basically denotes "insert something here", along the lines of '___holic' in English.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]]: {{spoiler|Himawari}}, if the fact that {{spoiler|she gets married to someone else}} is any indication, though in a subversion it seems {{spoiler|Watanuki both knows and supports her decision}}.
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
* [[The Beautiful Elite]]: Even the ''smoke'' is pretty.
* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: Hitsuzen and the ways to manipulate its effects make up most of the overarching plot.
* [[Betty, Veronica and Archie Switcheroo]]: Watanuki fears that this dynamic is happening with Himawari, his crush, and his [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] Shizuka Domeki, a [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] classmate. {{spoiler|Turns out that Himawari is a literal [[Doom Magnet]] that brings bad luck to people who encounter her; Domeki is immune because he naturally repels bad spirits. Yuko asked Domeki to befriend Himawari and Watanuki so that Watanuki would not suffer from the bad luck. Indeed, as time passes, Domeki seems more interested in ''Watanuki'' as a significant other rather than Himawari.}}
* [[Bishonen]]: C'mon, it's [[CLAMP]]. Watanuki might qualify as a manga version of [[Hollywood Homely]], since he's much less popular with (human) girls than Doumeki.
* [[Big Eater]]: Doumeki is a chef's worst nightmare—a ''picky'' [[Big Eater]].
Line 36 ⟶ 38:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Watanuki. The poor guy never seems to catch much of a break does he?
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Yuuko. Kiiiinda crazy for being entrusted with keeping time and space in working order. But when she gets serious, ''she gets serious'', to the point that some people wonder if the above [[Obfuscating Stupidity|is an act]].
* [[
* [[Catgirl]]: Subverted twice and played with a bit. The Neko-Musume is the traditional Japanese catgirl- a cat spirit that may take human form and retain some feline qualities, such as cat eyes and agility. Similarly, the {{spoiler|shamisen}} is a cat that takes on the form of a human, only retaining her eyes. On the other paw, Watanuki himself has been pictured with cat ears and a tail a few times, and Himawari thinks of him as a cat so often that she bought him an apron with an angry cat on it for his birthday. This makes the later chapters (involving [[Ho Yay|Doumeki's ideas on the "mating habits of cats"]]) all the more interesting...
* [[Character Witness]]: The fox kid from the Oden cart vouches for Watanuki in the Demon Parade.
