Line 6:
The mysterious "princess" follows Tsukimi to the "Nunnery", the boarding house she shares with a bunch of fellow nerdy [[Otaku]] girls, and ends up sleeping in Tsukimi's room. This dreamy girl, however, is not all what [[Wholesome Crossdresser|she looks...]]
 
'''''Kuragehime''''', or ('''''Princess Jellyfish'')''' in English, is an award-winning [[Josei]] [[Manga]] by Akiko Higashimura, adapted to [[Anime]] by Brain Base, as part of Fall 2010's [[NoitaminA]] block. Funimation simulcasted the series [http://www.funimation.com/princess-jellyfish/episodes on their video portal] and later released it as a box set.
 
A [[Kuragehime/Characters|Character Page]] is now in the works!

----
=== ''Kuragehime'' has examples of: ===
* [[Agent Peacock]]: Kuranosuke is this, albiet a slightly more realistic than usual version.
* [[Almost Kiss]]: Episode 7.
Line 97 ⟶ 96:
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: Tsukimi says this to Kuranosuke when he's hanging around her apartment in his boxers.
* [[Primal Scene]]: Subverted with {{spoiler|poor Shuu}} and [[Lampshaded]] by Kuranosuke.
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Kuranosuke:''' Hey, bro, are you still a virgin at 30 because you got traumatized seeing your dad and [[Your Cheating Heart|my mom]] getting it on in some walk-in-closet-type deal in some backstage-type room at some theater-type place?}}}}
** {{spoiler|Turns out to not so subverted as Kuranosuke's lampshading is revealed to be almost prescient in what happened: Walk-in closet? Check. Backstage room? Check. Theater? Check. He was only off in that they were making out, and that by his dad's own admission, "Only made it to second base!" }}
* [[Punny Name]]: Clara's transliterated spelling (Kurara) is one character off from Kurage (Jellyfish, but you should know that by now).
Line 125 ⟶ 124:
** And somehow, strangely Vic's Vapor Rub.
*** Vapor rubs, particularly Vic's, are pretty popular in Japan.
** Back to movie references: Kon Ichikawa's ''[[wikipedia:The Burmese Harp chr(28)1956 filmchr(29film)|The Burmese Harp]]'' in the last episode.
** In episode 9, Inari [[Saint Seiya|goes Pegasus]] when told Shu is {{spoiler|a virgin}}.
** Kuranosuke {{spoiler|manages to trick Chieko and Jiji into thinking he's a girl raised as a boy (even he can't believe it worked) when he}} refers to ''[[Rose of Versailles]]'' and starts dressing as Oscar.
Line 146 ⟶ 145:
*** This would be compounded by being, well, otaku in Japan: the view is ''not'' a positive one. If the Nuns present themselves as being even ''relatively'' normal people, they're going to get a '''lot''' farther in Japan than if they're a touch too noticeably fujoshi.<ref>Which means 'rotten women,' and should say a lot about how female otaku are perceived.</ref>
** Nisha later takes great pains to point out that Kuranosuke's very short-sighted idea to start a fashion line by selling couture clothes is not sustainable, especially in this economy:
{{quote| Nisha: I want to see you guys of the pressure-free generation do things that don't suit you, get in huge debt, be burdened with huge loans, and not know what to do.}}
** By the way, this is her being encouraging.
* [[Super Window Jump]]: Parodied. Tsukimi tries this once in the anime, and twice in the manga; Kuranosuke pulls her back inside the first time, the second time she succeeds but it's a very short drop.
