** Kôta get nailed with a metal trash can. To be fair, Chizuru meant to throw it at Nozomu who was clinging to him at the time, but she managed to dodge it.▼
** Also, Tayura is on the receiving end of a lot of Chizuru's attacks.▼
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Kôta, a.k.a. "The Great Erotic King". Pretty much how he got the nickname.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Tayura's [[Not Blood Siblings|near-incestuous]] interest in Chizuru is glossed over in lieu of a masochistic following of class rep Akane and a slight jealousy of Kôta and Chizuru spending so much time together, which is what it evolves into in the source material, anyway. Nozomu is introduced much earlier in the anime than the manga or light novels, starting the love triangle much faster. The subtext of the school being a [[Boarding School]] for monsters having trouble keeping up [[The Masquerade]] is left out entirely. {{spoiler|As is the rather important plot about Kôta being a yôkai either so young that he's unaware or so powerful that they had to give him [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]].}} As well as this {{spoiler|weirdness about a "Door" (Chizuru) and "Key" (Kôta) that the teachers know about.}}
** The mangaka added a statement at the end that he'd covered volumes 9 through 11 of the original light novels in five chapters. "'''How much''' I covered of it is up for debate..." Then he listed some of the things he'd left out, including an explanation of '''why''' the [[Ancient Conspiracy]] was doing what they were doing.
* [[The Alcatraz]]: Surprisingly enough, ''Kôta's school'': in chapter 8 of the manga, the scary [[Knight Templar]]-like, wooden
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Very noticeable during Chizuru's [[Shower Scene]]. Also noticeable in the manga, which would be very, very explicit if not for this trope.
* [[Barely-There Swimwear]]: The original crowner for the page was Nozomu's outfit in the [[Beach Episode]] -- which was literally Three bandaids.
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
'''Kôta:''' AH!?
'''Akane:''' That's a violation of school rules! }}
** Natsumi, a girl introduced in one of the last chapters of the manga, tells Kôta that in order to give him special equipment to rescue Chizuru, she needs to take some measurements requiring '''both of them''' to be naked. He and Nozomu misunderstand, and though he's got his usual sort of qualms at first, they grab Natsumi and ... ahem. '''Then''' she explains, with tears in her eyes, that the measurement process didn't require '''that''' intimate a contact. Oops. Still, she's smiling almost immediately afterwards....
* [[Body Sushi]]: Chizuru gets into a body-sized sushi boat naked in attempt to hit on Kôta.
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Chizuru's a very powerful yôkai, as well as a very busty one. These attributes are definitely related. The plotline of episodes 9 and 10 is the sealing of her power and her attempts to regain them. More importantly, Chizuru barely notices her powers being gone the entire time -- it's the sudden lack of cleavage she's utterly freaked out by.
Line 43:
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Usually on Kôta, sometimes Tayura. It seems that Kôta gets blamed and subsequent flak for alleged molestation even though Chizuru and Nozomu are the ones who initiate it, and usually prevent him from being able to escape by mounting top of him, or pinning him down with a hug.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Mio, a frog-spirit, has oils that are basically a cure-all. Several times Chizuru and others need her to give up some. How do they do so? Get her to dress in a [[School Swimsuit]] and squat in a old metal tub until they... get their oil. Actually a reference to a Japanese old-wives' tale ([[Akira Kurosawa]] mentions it in his autobiography). There was indeed a frog whose secretions were used as medicine, and the best way anyone had found to get the stuff was to put the frog in a box with mirrors on all sides; as the theory went, the embarrassment and horror of seeing its own reflection would cause it to perspire profusely.
* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)]]:
▲** Kôta get nailed with a metal trash can. To be fair, Chizuru meant to throw it at Nozomu who was clinging to him at the time, but she managed to dodge it.
▲** Also, Tayura is on the receiving end of a lot of Chizuru's attacks.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)]]:
** Seems like it for the first few episodes, but then {{spoiler|averted hard during the last episode of the anime}}.
** In the manga, {{spoiler|it is averted. Kôta admits that he likes Chizuru and is not above doing perverted things with her in private, although he does need some coaxing}}.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Played for ''laughs'' of all things in episode 9,
* [[Ecchi]]: So, ''so'' much. The DVD extras take this up to the point where it's close to softcore pornography. Frankly, scenes like the "tail licking" in chapter 31 are already softcore porn.
* [[Emergency Transformation]]: In a pinch, Kôta and Chizuru can merge, turning Kôta into a ''male'' kitsune with absurd power, temporarily. Fortunately, it's not permanent. {{spoiler|Although Kôta is gaining kitsune powers while human, which leads Chizuru so think that their merging will eventually turn him into a yôkai.}}
Line 71 ⟶ 74:
** And of course there is {{spoiler|Yukihana's}} job as the new school nurse!
* [[Horny Devils|Horny Youkai]]: Horny doesn't begin to describe Chizuru. And judging by her reputation, her mother seems even worse, which is saying a lot.
** In a bit of [[Hypocritical Humor]], Chizuru's mom tells Kouta at one point that if he needs more sexual release, he shouldn't hesitate to ask her subordinate Yukihana ... whom she refers to as, depending on translation, "the perverted woman in the lab coat" or "that naughty nurse."
* [[Hot Mom]]: Chizuru's (adoptive) mother. My, what a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|foxy lady...]] It's revealed in the manga that Chizuru's mom, Tamamo, is actually {{spoiler|the basis for the many legendary Kitsune, or Nine-Tailed Fox legends in Asian culture (specifically Tamamo no Mae).}}
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Each title is phrased so it sounds like a come-on or sexual innuendo of some kind, albeit one hinting at what happens in the episode.
Line 83 ⟶ 86:
* [[Lightning Glare]]: Happens between Chizuru and Nozomu in episode 3, while rubbing against a passed out Kôta.
* [[Love At First Sight]]: Chizuru claims this about Kôta. Saku, and other events, suggest something less simple and idealistic is behind their swift connection. {{spoiler|In the manga it is also suggested that maybe Kôta's hidden power or something else super natural may have something to do with this.}}
* [[Love Triangle]]: Nozomu is in love with Kôta, Chizuru is in love with Kôta, and Kôta, while truly in love with Chizuru, would much rather get his homework done and not be forever stigmatized as a huge pervert, thanks. Kôta doesn't like to rush things and would rather not be so affectionate in public places as Chizuru would like.
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Chizuru's a rare female example of this trope. In addition, Nozomu's quite willing to join in if it means [[Incredibly Lame Pun|outfoxing]] Chizuru. Her lust is supported by Japanese mythology though, where fox yôkai were noted for, among other things, their beauty and desire to seduce humans. Chizuru of course reserves all of her sex mania for Kôta. Being a centuries old virgin probably adds to her sexual frustrations.
** Kôta actually gets into this too. In chapter 41, after trying to deprive himself of ecchi behavior to study for a test, saw a girl grab Chizuru's breasts and... well... [https://web.archive.org/web/20120106201441/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v07/c041/10.html see for yourself]. {{spoiler|and because he didn't get enough sexy time, he started generating a mighty aura that knocked out all the males around the school and managed to make every girl in the school want his body.}}
* [[Magic Skirt]]: Averted, most notably in a particular scene with Ai and Ren.
* [[Magical Girlfriend]]
Line 94 ⟶ 97:
* [[The Masquerade]]: There are enough non-humans in Kôta's school to fill up most of a classroom at least, but they are all masquerading in plain sight. One even graduates, only to turn around and re-enter the school as a Freshman again next year. Shown beyond a doubt in episode 10, {{spoiler|when they all shapechange to defend the school}}. Even more obvious in the manga, where it's pointed out the school is a [[Boarding School]] for delinquent yôkai.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kumada is [[Everything's Worse with Bears|exactly what his name says]]. Also, Ren and Ai are both words meaning "love".
** And the female teacher with yôkai powers of manipulating ''sand'' has the family name "Sahara."
* [[Megaton Punch]]: Tayura is on the receiving end of these a lot, usually from Chizuru.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Kôta gains the name "Great Erotic King" due to his classmates misunderstanding the situations he ends up in. Amusingly in the manga, when {{spoiler|Nozomu leaves}} his classmates apologize for calling him that, since {{spoiler|she left citing that Kôta would only ever really love Chizuru.}} The next page, {{spoiler|When Nozomu comes back, saying she's going to be his mistress in a [[
** {{spoiler|Apparently this is a form of foreshadowing, as recent developments in the manga from Saku hint that Kôta was some form of king.}}
* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: Scene getting boring? No worries, because Chizuru will probably strip soon, just in time for Kôta to get blamed for it. Unless he doesn't, in which case Nozomu will show up, already naked, right afterwards.
Line 111 ⟶ 115:
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: Chizuru's constantly removing her clothing in attempts to get Kôta in bed, Nozomu follows suit if she's around. Chizuru, when she possesses Kôta, turns into a spirit, leaving her clothing behind in a pile; when she exits, she's nude.
* [[Portmanteau Series Nickname]]: Inverted in this case: ''Kanokon'' is the only title used, but the title of the first chapter is ''"Kanojo ha kawaii "kon" to suru"'' (''she gives a cute "kon" yelp'': "kon" being the onomatopeia for, well, [[Department of Redundancy Department|a yelp]]).
* [[The Power of Love]]: Chizuru can only hop into Kôta's body because of their deep love for each other, fostered over the ''10 whole minutes'' they knew each other before they did it the first time. {{spoiler|Subverted, in that apparently it's Kôta and/or Chizuru's hidden legacy as the Key and Door, not love, that makes them so spiritually compatible.}}
* [[Pretty Freeloader]]: While Chizuru doesn't live with Kôta, she doesn't help her brother with anything around the house.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Chizuru' 400 years-old, looks like a young adult (16-18ish). Nozomu's of indeterminate age, but looks like she's 13-15. {{spoiler|In one of the DVD omakes, she claims to be 200}}.
* [[School of Hard Knocks]]: Somewhat. Fights between yôkai aren't encouraged, but the teachers don't seem to have a problem with these fights and they do observe/referee the matches. Fights between regular students aren't mentioned.
* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Ai and Ren are implied to be this if their affection for Chizuru('s breasts) is any hint. Unless it is a case of [[Single-Target Sexuality]].
** Chizuru thinks it's neither, but that they're responding to her as "Mama." That '''is''' what they call her, almost constantly....
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: {{spoiler|The bunny suit in episode 4, containing the soul of a sex-obsessed spider yôkai. Also counts as a [[Happy Fun Ball]]}}.
* [[Shotacon]]: Pretty much the ''premise''.
Line 122 ⟶ 127:
** Episode 3 references ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' when Nozomu collides with Kôta in the same manner in which Rei and Shinji collide in the final episode of Eva. The shout-out continues when Kôta falls on top of Nozomu in a pose reminiscent of when Shinji fell on top of Rei in Episode 5. This is made all the more funny by the fact that the whole incident was set up by Nozomu.
** Also in chapter 30, Chizuru makes the famous ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' pose. She even says, "In the name of the fox goddess, I'll punish you!" See [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v06/c030/10.html here].
** Then, in Chapter 32, Tayura "explains" to Akane that Kôta and Chizuru were doing [[Cosplay]], and Ai and Ren were also cosplaying. The visual for the twins' supposed cosplay is clearly ''[[
* [[The Siege]]: Episode 9
* [[Single-Minded Twins]]: The [[Perpetual Poverty|poor]] [[Ninja]] duo of Ai and Ren.
Line 137 ⟶ 142:
** Albeit Kôta does make it clear who he likes and wants to be with. ''Very clear''. {{spoiler|In the manga, chapter 26, he asks Chizuru to become his wife}}
** Later on in the manga {{spoiler|Nozomu does become Kôta's mistress}}, what's more Chizuru no longer seems to be bothered and Kôta seems to be all for a {{spoiler|threesome}}.
* [[Those Two Girls]]: Their names don't even ever come up in dialogue in the manga, being given only on an info page following the chapter in which they're first prominent, but Takana Kiriko (Kii-chan) and Sasamori Yuuki (Yooks), never seen apart from each other, are the ones most often shown calling Kôta the "Letch King." Kii-chan is appalled ("Our school is a modern Sodom and Gomorrah!"), but Yooks seems eager to watch....
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]
** In episode 3, after Kôta tries to scold her for pushing Nozomu down, Chizuru runs off. After finding her, she tells him to punish her, and when he suggests spanking, she readily accepts the position, and urges him to hurry up before someone comes. After the first smack he realizes she seems to be enjoying it, but she warns him about someone coming, prompting him to smack her some more.
