Kanokon: Difference between revisions

'''Kôta:''' AH!?

'''Akane:''' That's a violation of school rules! }}

* [[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.

** Taken very literally in the still image of the 'Boob Crusader'.

* [[Class Representative]]: Akane; despite her best efforts, she doesn't enforce the school rules as well as she'd like to. One can thank this on her [[Can't Hold His Liquor|unable to hold her liquor]].

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Chizuru, and it seems Nozomu enjoys provoking her into this trope.

* [[Crash Into Hello]]: Nozomu does this deliberately to Kôta in episode 3. [[Late for School|While also having a piece of toast in her mouth.]]

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: After the ninja twin's various attempts to get rid of {{spoiler|Chizuru}} fail, they get invited to dinner with the main cast. Also subverted in that the main cast has ''no idea'' they're responsible for the current trouble.

* [[Erotic Eating]]: Chizuru and Nozomu. You can probably already guess how and why.

* [[Exposed to the Elements]]: Justified and lampshaded in episode 7.

* [[First-Name Basis]]: Played with: Nozomu calls everyone by their first name (without even [[Japanese Honorifics|honorifics]]) right off the bat, even if she just met them. That just underlines that [[No Social Skills|she is pretty carefree with politeness conventions]]… And of course, Kôta starts calling Chizuru by her first name (on her demand) within the first chapter. But she is a bit pissed that he uses such a formal honorific as -san, which reminds her she's [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|quite a bit older than he is]].

* [[Flash Step]]: Kôta can move with inhuman speed when necessary to dodge Chizuru's more overt advances. The way she'll attempt a [[Marshmallow Hell]] Attack on him, only to grab thin air as he instantly appears behind her, is strangely reminescent of [[Dragonball Z]]-style combat...

* [[Flanderization]]

** The anime takes the characters personality quirks and dials them up. Kôta goes from being somewhat reluctant and shy to having a pathological fear of sex [[Your Mileage May Vary|(and having his age cut by a third).]] Amusingly, Chizuru's just as lusty in the manga, although in the manga Nozomu is more openly perverse as well, and actually has some [[Day in The Limelight]] scenes.

* [[Fusion Dance]]: If a yôkai and human are willing, they can temporarily fuse...mostly for fireball-throwing. Strangely enough, this is insinuated to require a deep emotional bond between the two, whereas Kôta and Chizuru can do it almost immediately upon meeting each other.

* [[Gecko Ending]]: Possibly: the anime {{spoiler|resolves the love triangle rather abruptly by putting one of the two girls [[Put on a Bus|on a bus.]]}} Except... {{spoiler|after the credits, she comes back, and they [[Tenchi Solution|decide to share Kôta]].}} This leaves the anime open for a sequel, due to the manga and light novels [[Status Quo Is God|presumably not resolving anything, ever]].

{{quote|'''Tayura:''' Wait a sec. Why was there a nurse's outfit conveniently handy?

'''Chizuru:''' That's a girl's secret. }}

** 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 "the perverted woman in the lab coat."

* [[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.

* [[Huge Girl Tiny Guy]]: Well, considering Chizuru is [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really Four Hundred Years Old]] it's not too surprising that she's more than fully grown up compared to the teenage-looking Kôta.

* [[Late for School]]: Subverted with Nozomu acting out this and the [[New Transfer Student]] trope, even though she technically joined in the ''previous'' episode. Doubly subverted as she continues speaking in her monotone voice and ignores what Kôta is saying, in lieu of responding with her half of the trope regardlessly, all while kidnapping Kôta from Chizuru.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v01/c005/13.html Chizuru]. She hilariously captures some students, ties them up, and forces them to taste test some food for her. Interestingly, while the three female students pass out, apparently the two ninja girls enjoy the food.

** Nozomu doesn't seem to be much of a cook either, as Kôta passes out after eating hers and Chizuru's.

* [[Lightning Glare]]: Happens between Chizuru and Nozomu in episode 3, while rubbing against a passed out Kôta.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kumada is [[Everything's Worse with Bears|exactly what his name says]]. Also, Ren and Ai are both words meaning "love".

* [[Megaton Punch]]: Tayura is on the receiving end of these a lot, usually from Chizuru.

** {{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.

* [[Petting Zoo People]]: About half the cast.

* [[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.

* [[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.}}<br />Though a recent chapter of the manga implies their love may not be as strong as they hoped. Regarding that, the fan translation of the manga seems to imply the possession isn't so much a matter of the presence of love as it is trust or the lowering of emotional/psychological defenses, which does tend to happen in love. Chizuru's over-the-top and apparently genuine affection would no doubt be more than sufficient for her to be made an exception in any healthy male's firewall. It helps that Kôta doesn't seem particularly cynical.

* [[Pretty Freeloader]]: While Chizuru doesn't live with Kôta, she doesn't help her brother with anything around the house.
