Line 73:
* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]: As of the latest chapters, Tsubasa indefinitely qualifies. Chapters 82 and 83 have introduced a ghost girl named Yayoi, who needs the feeling of being loved in order to pass on. However, Yayoi's true intentions are {{spoiler|to have Tsubasa join her in the afterlife so she can be loved. It doesn't help that Tsubasa looks like the boy she had a crush on}}. At the end of the arc, after having gone through the perils Yayoi put him through, he is admitted to the hospital; but only "''for a little while''". It was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] twice when both a student and the doctor say that an ordinary person would have ''died'' from what he went through.
* [[I See Dead People]]: Sakura, of course.
* [[Jerkass]]: Rinne's dad Sabato seems to have studied at the [[Ranma ½|Genma Saotome Anything Goes]] School of Parenting, take the lessons [[Up to Eleven]], and then invented some more techniques of his own to enhance his massive jerkass status. Let's see... Daddy's been stealing Rinne's money for years, crushed his hope of seeing his mom as a young boy, forced him to take on his debts, and is trying to get him married to take over his failing company... probably to force even more debt on him while he gets to go off skipping. The only [[Pet the Dog]] moment he had so far is when he object against Kain's hostility towards Rinne...for a problem he caused himself, and there may have been ulterior motives there too.
* [[Killer Yoyo]]: A giant one with blades, in chapter 47.
* [[Kotatsu]]:- Ageha is tricked into buying one thinking it has [[Love Potion]] -- like effects and will help her get closer to Rinne, but ironically enough, despite it having no such ability, the kotatsu does help all the main characters bond with each other.
Line 82:
* [[Loan Shark]]: Toichi (see [[Meaningful Name]] below) loans power to ghosts, and when they can't pay it back, {{spoiler|they get assimilated into Toichi}}.
* [[Love Chart]]: [[Played for Laughs]] and used to help the reader understand the ''very'' simple, would-be [[Love Triangle]] involving the [[Not Quite Dead|still-alive]] [[Monster of the Week|ghost of the week]], his girlfriend, and his best friend in chapter 13, and again in chapter 16.
* [[Lucky Translation]]: When Tsubasa tries to refresh Sakura's memory of him, she calls him "Oreda-kun" in response to his "ore da." Fortunately, "Itsumi" ("It's me") works too, even though it's a ''girl's'' name.
** This may not be the case in other languages, however. The Indonesian translation gives his name as Akulo, from "Aku, lo" ("It's me")...which may make sense if he's some kind of corny [[Evil Overlord]].
* [[Meaningful Name]]
Line 146:
** This one might or might not be meant as a reference: In chapter 51, when Tsubasa summons the spirits of the power stone, he says "[[Slayers|Light, come forth!]]"
* [[Smashing Watermelons]]: Done by ghosts in chapter 61.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: It's "Rin-ne" in the English version so we have a chance of pronouncing it correctly.
** [[I Am Not Shazam]]: Keep in mind, though, that "''RIN-NE''" is the series! When referring to the character in the actual translation, it's still written "Rinne".
* [[Spirit World]]
* [[Stringy
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]
** The [[Student Council President]] apparently looks ''exactly'' like her mother (and thus her mother's twin sister) did when she was her age.
