[[File:48555l_909.jpg|frame| (Shirakiin Ririchiyo..and her [[Battle Butler|dog]]..)]]
Ririchiyo Shirakiin, scion of an influential family, has an issue -- she has [[No Social Skills]]. She resolves to get rid of this by moving out and living on her own in the "Maison de Ayakashi", a mansion housing [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half-Human Hybrids]] who pass a very strict examination, each resident coming with his/her own Secret Service (SS) agent, also a [[Half-Human Hybrid]]. Ririchiyo refused to have an SS accompany her, but eventually finds out that her assigned SS -- Soushi Miketsukami -- was a fox spirit she helped as a child. Now, whether she likes it or not, she has to start living with the protective Soushi and her fellow tenants and their SS Agents.
'''''Inu × Boku SS''''' (妖狐×僕SS, Inu Boku Secret Service, Dog and I Secret Service) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Cocoa Fujiwara. It was adapted into an anime television series for the [[Winter 2012 Anime]]. The anime has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks for streaming on Crunchyroll.com, and home video release in North America.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Nobara.
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Ririchiyo, when meeting Maid #1.
Line 23 ⟶ 19:
* [[Beach Episode]]: Chapter 25.
* [[The Beautiful Elite]]: All of the main residents and their SS are not only gorgeous but also apparently filthy rich.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Harming Ririchiyo in any way will earn you a one-way ticket to Hell courtesy of Soushi.
** Watanuki's is being called "cute."
* [[Big Eater]]: Karuta. Just... Karuta. <ref>Her supernatural lineage is gashadokuro, or giant skeleton many times bigger than a human, created from the gathering of bones of people who died of starvation. [[Fridge Horror|No wonder she's always hungry.]]</ref>
* [[Big Fancy House]]: We see the Shirakiin residence at the start of episode 3, a fancy traditional Japanese home. In addition, ''all'' the half demon families are supposedly inexplicably very wealthy.
* [[Big No]]: Ririchiyo makes one when she realizes that she accidentally sent the wrong letter to Soushi and pretty much just confessed her feelings for him.
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: Soushi, every time he's talking about how much he adores Ririchiyo, and they're mostly '''black'''.
Line 37 ⟶ 33:
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Zange and Watanuki. Soushi and Ririchiyo end up in this as well sometimes, especially when Soushi is going off on a stalker-ish tangent.
* [[Bokukko]]: Ririchiyo.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Ririchiyo seems like one at first, but it is soon revealed that she actually feels really guilty about her behavior and wants to change.
** Watanuki is another example, being the shortest of the male cast and easily irritated.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Happens to {{spoiler|Karuta}}.
* [[Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl]]: Watanuki and Karuta.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: The Secret Service people are all odd in some way, and one of them actually wears a set of bunny ears.
* [[Bullet Catch]]: Soushi, in the first episode, though not without (minor) consequences.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Ririchiyo with her feelings for her SS, even though it's painfully obvious that Soushi likes her back, a lot.
* [[Cape Swish]]: Kagerou uses his cape as scene transitions in Episode 5, and it is hilarious.
Line 50 ⟶ 46:
** Karuta with Watanuki.
** Ririchiyo with Renshou.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Karuta.
* [[Cock Fight]]: Between Soushi and Kagerou, over Ririchiyo.
* [[Cool Sword]]: Soushi has a katana in his youkai form. Kagerou has a big sword when transformed as well.
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Ririchiyo when shopping for her first cell phone. Apparently she does the same for everything she buys.
* [[
* [[Credits Jukebox]]: Each episode gets its own ending theme.
* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: All of the characters, really.
Line 74 ⟶ 70:
'''Episode 7:''' "Taiyou to Tsuki (Sun and Moon)", by Nobara/[[Yoko Hikasa]] and Renshou/Yoshimasa Hosoya }}
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Watanuki hates Soushi because he once called him "cute."
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: [[Played for Laughs]]. When Ririchiyo says she doesn't need protection Soushi produces a katana from [[Hammerspace]] and implores her to kill him saying his life has no meaning if he's not guarding her. She responds to this by throwing the katana aside and yelling, "Value yourself more!"
* [[Empty Piles of Clothing]]: Used with Karuta when she transforms in Episode 1.
* [[Empty Shell]]: Soushi broke free from his family by acting like the perfect puppet, and only began to change after meeting Ririchiyo.
Line 88 ⟶ 84:
* [[Freudian Trio]]: The girls: [[The Id|Karuta]], [[The Superego|Ririchiyo]], and [[The Ego|Nobara]].
* [[Gainaxing]]: Chino Kotomura aka Maid #1 in episode 5 and again in episode 7.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: All of the atavists are exactly the same in every way as their previous incarnation.
* [[Genki Girl]]: Maid #1.
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Ririchiyo and Soushi in the anime.
Line 97 ⟶ 93:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Soushi.}}
* [[He Will Not Cry, So I Cry for Him]]: When learning of Ririchiyo's desperate and perpetual loneliness, Soushi cries on her behalf.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Kana Hanazawa]] (Karuta) played another [[Emotionless Girl]], "[[Angel Beats!|Angel]]".
** You may recognize [[Mamoru Miyano|Zange]] from his other [[Uta no Prince-sama|K]] [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|E]] [[Ouran High School Host Club|E]] [[Durarara!!|T]] roles.
** [[Tomokazu Sugita|Kagerou]] [[Gintama|sounds]] [[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya|awfully]] [[Sket Dance|familiar]]...
* [[Hidden Depths]]: All of the residents of Ayakashi Kan.
Line 109 ⟶ 105:
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Pretty much everyone has them, especially the atavists who get wardrobe upgrades in their demon forms.
* [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]: Ririchiyo has one.
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Frequently how Kagerou classifies things.
{{quote|'''Kagerou''': This elevator sure is making us wait, huh. S!!}}
* [[Instant Seduction]]: Any interaction between Soushi and a female usually involves this in some way.
Line 115 ⟶ 111:
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: All of the atavists are a result of this. Technically, any relationships involving the atavists themselves could be considered this as well.
* [[I Owe You My Life]]: Reincarnated!Soushi certainly feels this way towards reincarnated!Ririchiyo, even going so far as to {{spoiler|research the behavior and personality of past!Soushi, choosing to impersonate his past self as he felt that past!Soushi was the most important person to Ririchiyo.}}
* [[Irrational Hatred]]: Watanuki's ire towards Soushi is revealed as this.
* [[It Doesn't Mean Anything]]: Ririchiyo tries this excuse when she accidentally confessed to Soushi via letter but stopped after Soushi honestly believed her.
* [[It Got Worse]]: {{spoiler|Inu X Boku SS took a sharp swerve in this direction in chapter 18 of the manga.}}
* [[Jerkass]]: Kagerou, though [[Played for Laughs]].
** [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: As the series goes on, Kagerou's more like this. I mean, he folded 1000 cranes for Karuta by himself in an effort to help her return to normal in Chapter 17. {{spoiler|And reincarnated Kagerou's the one who gave Ririchiyo a wake up call by telling her not to confuse the reincarnated Soushi with the past Soushi.}} He's actually kinda sweet, albeit in a more... twisted way.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: Ririchiyo has this in order to protect herself from others, and it's been on long enough that it's almost a case of [[Becoming the Mask]].
* [[Kappa]]: Kawasumi Jyoutarou, the cook at Ayakashi Kan.
* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: They bullied Ririchiyo because she was rich, causing her to put up a [[Jerkass Facade]].
* [[Kitsune]]: Soushi.
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Soushi believed that he had this until Ririchiyo remarked that he "finally showed her something about himself" to her in their letter correspondence.
* [[Lady and Knight]]: Ririchiyo and Soushi.
* [[Lazy Bum]]: Renshou, according to Nobara.
Line 135 ⟶ 131:
* [[Love Before First Sight]]: Soushi towards Ririchiyo. The other direction is likely as well.
* [[Love Bubbles]]: Appear whenever Watanuki gets the heartbeats for Karuta.
* [[Love Epiphany]]: Played around with in the case of Ririchiyo.
* [[Major Injury Underreaction]]: Soushi didn't feel the bullet at all after he blocked it. When Ririchiyo directed his attention to it in worry, he simply extended his other hand to her, believing that she just didn't want to get her hand dirty with his blood.
* [[Male Gaze]]
Line 159 ⟶ 155:
* [[One Head Taller]]: Taken to extremes with [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|Ririchiyo and Soushi]], but the height difference between genders is pretty blatant for all the characters.
* [[One True Love]]: The manga makes this seem the case with Watanuki and Karuta.
* [[Past Life Memories]]: After the whole {{spoiler|death and reincarnation}} thing, everyone but Ririchiyo, Soushi and Watanuki has recalled his or her past life memories.
** Zange also reveals earlier that the atavists often remember figments of their past lives along with being carbon copies of their previous incarnation.
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Karuta and Watanuki, at least with eye colors.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Even though she's done it [[Seitokai Yakuindomo|twice]] [[Seikon no Qwaser|before]], [[Yoko Hikasa]] is still not what comes to mind when one imagines the voice of a [[Loveable Sex Maniac]].
* [[Poisonous Friend]]: Soushi shows signs of this for Ririchiyo. He is astoundingly loyal to Ririchiyo but has no qualms about hurting others if they're in his way.
* [[Power Dyes Your Hair]]: Both Ririchiyo and Soushi have different hair colors in their youkai forms.
* [[Power Strain Blackout]]: {{spoiler|Zange uses his power to find Karuta in Chapter 16, but it takes a toll on his body and he collapses.}}
Line 178 ⟶ 174:
* [[Shana Clone]]: Subverted with Ririchiyo. Aesthetically, she has all of the characteristics that place her firmly in the category, but her attitude shows that she hates her rudeness to outsiders and wishes to get along with people.
* [[Sharp-Dressed Man]]: All of the characters really, except Renshou.
* [[She's Got Legs]]: Much of the fanservice by Ririchiyo focuses on her ridiculously long and full legs.
** Characters in this series in general have pretty nice legs.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Karuta and Renshou try to draw [[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind|Ohmu]].
* [[Sliding Scale of Beauty]]: Ririchiyo, Nobara, and Karuta are often mentioned to be beautiful or cute by other characters, making them World Class Beauty. Their youkai forms push them into [[Uncanny Valley]] territory however, especially Karuta's.
* [[Smart People Wear Glasses]]: Frequently used. Even characters who normally do not wear glasses, such as Ririchiyo and Soushi, are shown with them in their spare time to illustrate their studious sides.
* [[Sole Survivor]]: {{spoiler|Renshou Sorinozuka was the only person to survive the events that occurred 23 years ago, and the only person who has yet to reincarnate. In Chapter 19, we see an older Renshou, who's about 41 years old.}}
* [[Something About a Rose]]: Roses appear in the background when Zange hits on Soushi in Episode 4.
Line 198 ⟶ 194:
** The second ending has Ririchiyo wandering a grayscale landscape all alone (probably symbolic of her loneliness) until she sees a brightly colored sakura tree.
* [[Taking Advantage of Generosity]]: Soushi.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Ririchiyo does this for Soushi in chapter 34. [[Oh Crap]].
* [[Team Mom]]: Nobara for the girls, albeit a perverted one. {{spoiler|Zange plays this for the younger residents with Renshou as his counterpart [[Team Dad]] after the timeskip.}}
* [[Technician Versus Performer]]: Soushi is the technician while Kagerou is the performer, at least in terms of personality.
Line 208 ⟶ 204:
* [[Tsundere]]: Ririchiyo, bordering on [[Kuudere]]-type.
** Ririchiyo arguably [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructs]] this, as she is thoroughly aware of her status as a [[Tsundere]] and its negative affects on her and the people around her, and she hates herself for it.
** If you want to be technical, Ririchiyo is a [[Tsunshun]] - abrasive and then depressed. It's a slight difference, but big enough for the [[Word of God|author]] to point it out in an [http://www.batoto.net/read/_/60312/youko-x-boku-ss_v2_ch8_by_intercross/62 omake]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Both Ririchiyo and Soushi get one when changing into their youkai forms.
* [[True Companions]]: Everyone.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Soushi for Ririchiyo.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: Ririchiyo is an interesting case of this. Due to her strong youkai blood, she had been treated as a treasure back at home, while her sister was largely ignored. To compensate, her parents showered her younger sister with love while rejecting Ririchiyo, believing that she didn't need them anyway.
* [[Vapor Wear]]: Ririchiyo is always braless under her dress shirt when alone in her apartment.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Watanuki and Zange.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: Watanuki doesn't need enemies.
* [[You Are Not Alone]]: Soushi to Ririchiyo, and vice versa.
* [[Youkai]]
** [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Actually descendants.
