Nagasarete Airantou: Difference between revisions

Ikuto Touhouin runs away from home after a fight with his father and boards a ship. After falling overboard during a huge storm, he washes ashore on a mysterious island inhabited by only women, with no escape. With a guy on the island at last, now everyone is determined to make him their husband.

 

----

=== This show provides examples of: ===

** Ikuto did have trouble believing in the anthropomorphic aspect of Airantou's animals, but that quickly died away when Shima-tora made a..."convincing" argument.

** A recent chapter had Ikuto get sick and get a fever which made him start to believe in magic. Then when he was still recovering he started to mix science fact with magic, and then he freaked out when he realized what he was saying.

* [[Art Shift]]: During Michiru and Tohno's confrontation, they emanate a [[Battle Aura]] that shows them how they should look like outside of Airantou.

* [[Aside Glance]]: Among many other examples:

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Ikuto gets one saving Ayane and Michiru from an enraged Taiga, the North Leader, by [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works|throwing his sword]] to hit [[Attack Its Weak Point|Taiga's weak point.]]

** He also brought lunch.

* [[Big Eater]]: Machi

* [[Big Fancy House]]: Chikage's.

* [[Big Sister Instinct]]: Tohno towards Mei Mei.

## When we first see the haremettes in Sakuya's hotsprings, they all decide to wash themselves silly for the sole reason of Ikuto staying under the same roof as them. Things happen, and then we later see the girls have overscrubbed themselves to the point of having ''rashes''.

## Later the girls decide to spring a trap for Ikuto so that they can join him in the hotsprings. Chikage, who was supposed to lead Ikuto into the trap, completely forgets about them when the plot picks up. What happens when you spend too long in the hotsprings again?

* [[Brother Sister Incest]]: Misaki seemed to act like her brother was her boyfriend in many of the flashbacks. Ikuto seems to think that normal sisters just do that.

** {{spoiler|When she read Ikuto's letter-in-a-bottle, she was UNPLEASED.}}

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Ayane, for the most part. She gets stepped on constantly, for instance.

** She is such a ''[[Butt Monkey]]'' that she thinks that the blood sucking plant is just playing when it is gnawing on her face. She lets it do it every day.

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Frequent, but most notable would be Shima-tora when he interrupted Tohno's and the East Leader's brawl, by ''knocking them both out'' (temporarily, but still [[Crowning Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|awesome]]).

* [[Eastern Zodiac]]: Yashiro's shikigamis.

* [[Eat the Dog|Eat The Pig]]: One bonus chapter has mame daifuku that were accidentally made with alcohol, so Suzu gets drunk...and sees Tonkatsu, or anything round and soft for that matter<ref>including Rin's ''breasts''</ref>, as a mame daifuku. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* [[Ecchi]]

* [[Fluffy Tamer]]: Yukino usually rides along on the back of an animal she befriended - most often Kuma-Kuma.

** Machi and her great-grandmother Yashiro, who love their shikigamis as friends and are loved by them in turn.

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Shinobu.

** Ikuto states that she may be even ''faster'' than the '''''West Leader'''''.

* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]: Ayane and Suzu.

* [[Fridge Horror]]: {{spoiler|Suzuran}} returning as a ghost. Whether she's dead or not (the latter is still possible thanks to the island not being a stranger to the supernatural) it still begs the question: ''what'' really happened to her that no one even found out about it?

* [[Friendship Moment]]: The "rainy day" episode, {{spoiler|where Ikuto learns that it's practically a tradition for Suzu's friends to visit her on rainy days, when she would be feeling loneliest.}}

* [[Gender Rarity Value]]: All the island's girls fight over Ikuto, the only male around.

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Stories about the girls' parents are nearly the same as the stories about the girls themselves. Just with a few more guys to choose from. This is played hilariously straight with Machi, who is a shorter version of her ''father'' and a [[Palette Swap|black-haired version of her great-grandmother.]]

* [[Genie in A Bottle]]: A [[Tastes Like Diabetes|particularly cute one]] debuts in one of the omakes.

** [[Literal Genie]]

** Also, a [[Youkai]] having the ''exact same appearance'' as Ayane. Think about ''that'' for a while.

** According to Ikuto, Michiru is an [[In Universe]] [[Expy]] of {{spoiler|his little sister, Misaki}}.

* [[Idiot Hair]]: Yukino, [[Lampshaded]] even.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Ikuto, as Karaage and Beniyasha both like to tell him. Even though it really only applies when he is dealing with women.

* [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]]: Done time to time, but chapter 65 takes the cake.

** And then there is that tendency of the characters to measure time by the issue number, [[Lampshade Hanging|only to be corrected by another character.]]

** The flashback chapters starring Suzuran and Karaage are chock-full of this. Notably, when narrating a certain event in the flashback, Karaage compares Suzuran to a demon, only for Suzuran to [[Berserk Button|go berserk]] and '''point at Karaage's ''dialogue box''''' while beating him up.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: [[Double Subversion|Double subverted]] with Machi. After she takes lessons in cooking, it still looks like the stuff is literally CURSED...but actually tastes quite good. The catch? She makes A LOT of food, and won't let you leave until you eat it '''ALL''' of it.

* [[Made of Iron]]: Ayane and Shinobu are noted in story to be exceptionally tough.

** It seems like Ikuto learned this by being on the island. In the beginning he would actually have to rest a day after being beaten to a pulp. Now he can {{spoiler|fight all 4 guardians, fall in a river, get eaten by a fish, and still be perfectly fine the next day.}} He has come a '''''VERY''''' long way.

* [[Magic Skirt]]: Used in the anime, but noticeably [[Panty Shot|absent]] in the manga.

* [[Master Apprentice Chain]]: Suzuran --> Karaage --> Ikuto --> Shinobu

* [[Miko]]: Ayane, Machi, Chizuru, Yashiro.

* [[Miniature Senior Citizens]]: ''The'' Grandma.

* [[Moment Killer]]: Many times. The one that stands out would be when [[Robot Maid|Sakuya]] '''swears''' that Ikuto and {{spoiler|Suzu}} would never get disturbed, only for ''Sakuya'' to spoil the biggest one herself.

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Beniyasha makes his dramatic exit, ominously announcing his plans to an aspiring detective that plans to capture him...{{spoiler|and is interrupted by Panako shouting her a message. Cue the epic [[Face Fault]], from ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|Beniyasha herself]]'', no less.}}

** Tohno ships Ikuto/Mei Mei.

** And oddly enough, '''{{spoiler|Machi}}''' ships Ikuto/Ayane.

* [[Shorttank]]

* [[Shout Out]]: That speech Suzuran gave Karaage seems very [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|familiar...]]

* [[Sneezing]]: On one infamous occasion, it was combined with a [[Nosebleed]].

* [[Something They Would Never Say]]/[[Not Himself]]: Suzu figures out that Ikuto {{spoiler|was replaced by Genjumaro because of Ikuto's [[Arbitrary Skepticism]], which Genjumaro didn't possess.}}

* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: The order that Ikuto fights the Leaders in the Scavenger Hunt: East (widely considered the weakest), South (however, his battle relied more on trickery than brute strength and power, so his position in the order only depended on the difficulty of his challenge), North, and finally, the West (whoever's superior between these two was sometimes contradictory; while the latter is often called the strongest fighter on the island, he himself admitted that the North was in "a class all his own").

* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]: Mei-Mei when she forgets the covert part of [[Covert Pervert]].
