Late one night, she is visited by two cute [[Shinigami]] who take pity on her and decide to help her jump start her career, by transforming her into a [[Older Alter Ego|fully-grown 16-year-old named "Full Moon".]] After she is discovered by a record company, she has to learn to balance her newfound stardom with her normal life as an orphan living under a strict grandmother, and her relationship with the two shinigami who helped her out.

Line 51:

** In episodes 40 and 41, some lines of dialogue aren't even translated at all, and at least a couple translations either have the wrong context, or are just plain wrong outright. On subject of missing translations however, it seems to only happen when the characters think, including during flashbacks, with the subs randomly showing up then disappearing. The Hulu versions use soft subtitles based on Hulu's closed captioning feature, with thoughts sppearing in italics, so it may or may not be possible that the episodes were being uploaded incorrectly.

* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Izumi with both Meroko and Takuto. Even more with Takuto because [[Hair-Trigger Temper|he snaps so easily]] which Izumi gets [[Soft Spoken Sadist|pure enjoyment out of.]]

* [[It Was ~~With~~ You All Along]]: In the manga. {{spoiler|Mitsuki's wish is to be with Eichi again, to the point where around the middle of the manga she resolves to commit suicide until Takuto and Meroko snap her out of it. Near the end of the manga, the question is raised that since Takuto and Meroko have changed Mitsuki's fate, how come she can still see shinigami if she's not about to die? The answer: It is possible to see shinigami if a spirit acts as a "filter" to see them through - that is, Eichi's spirit has been with Mitsuki all along, refusing to leave her.}} This was in fact foreshadowed in an earlier chapter, when Takuto notes that {{spoiler|the dying Eichi refused to surrender his soul to Takuto, implying that it went somewhere else, thus "robbing" Takuto of his soul until Eichi accepts Meroko's happiness at the epilogue of the manga and finally ascends to heaven.}}

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: {{spoiler|Meroko decides this for Takuto and Mitsuki.}}

** But not in the manga in which {{spoiler|she was actually in love with Izumi the whole time. This trope applies more to Eichi, who is forced to see Mitsuki and Takuto hook up but eventually accepts it in the matter of two pages.}}

Line 57:

* [[I Will Definitely Protect You]]: Takuto to Mitsuki.

* [[I Will Protect Her]]: Takuto's sworn vow to Mitsuki from episode 11 all the way to the bitter end. Against impossible odds, {{spoiler|he keeps his word}}.

* [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]]: Takuto is a mild example, bit more in the manga than anime.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Takuto is a mild example, bit more in the manga than anime.

** Izumi could also be considered an example of this, at least in the manga. In the anime, [[Adaptation Decay|he's just]] [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Jerk|a jerk.]]

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Madoka, but replace "the dog" with "Madoka's cute little pet pig".

** [[Pet the Dog]]: And Madoka is pretty [[Tsundere]] for the pig too.
