Samurai Harem: Asu no Yoichi: Difference between revisions

Yoichi Karasuma has spent all his life training in the mountains. Having accomplished all he can in terms of swordplay up there, he moves onto the next phase of his training. That is to go into the city, the Ikaruga dojo, and learn there. As Yoichi finds out when he reaches the dojo (not before he's arrested), the dojo is run by the four Ikaruga sisters. Yoichi begins attending school in the city and trying his best to fit in while fighters of all sorts begin to arrive either to challenge him or the Ikaruga family.

 

 

* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Yoichi, plenty of times.

** "plenty of times" meaning over 10 instances in quite possibly EVERY CHAPTER

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Ibuki gets really upset at Yoichi for the simplest things, such as accidentally touching her (or her sister's) breasts, being asked a lot of questions by girls in their class, or even just gawking at another girl.

* [[Dojikko]]: Tsubasa.

* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: Tsubasa when she's in her fighting mode.

* [[Erotic Eating]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/asu_no_yoichi/v03/c012/2.html Chihaya] at the start of episode nine. Kagome in a slightly lesser sense in the same scene. Later [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/asu_no_yoichi/v07/c027/39.html Ayame and Ibuki] get a turn.

* [[Everything but the Girl]]: Ukyou.

* [[Evolving Credits]]: For most of the season, Ukyou and Sakon have their faces hidden by masks until they reveal themselves in-show. The opening follows suit.

** The ending of episode 12 is nearly exactly the same as the previous eleven, but for the fact that Ibuki and Yoichi, usually the last character to walk up to the porch and the person sitting on said porch respectively, have swapped places.

* [[Supporting Harem]]: This seems to be the case. Kagome is too young for Yoichi to be interested in her, Chihaya is probably just teasing him, and Ayame tends to be a [[Shrinking Violet]] when it comes to expressing her feelings for him. Tsubasa is interested in Washizu, and while Angela seems to show interest in Yoichi, she never really gets to spend time with him (in the anime anyway. In the manga she gets lots more attention). Then there's the fact that Ibuki gets [[Clingy Jealous Girl|incredibly jealous]] if any Yoichi shows any interest in any other woman.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: After Kagome catches Ayame trying to cook in the kitchen:

'''Kagome:''' You blew up the pot making rice gruel? }}

* [[Team Mom]]: Ibuki, as a natural result of [[Promotion to Parent]].

** Fortunately she gets some recognition in the manga, such as when she's performing in the theater club.

* [[Theme Naming]]: The last names of all the main characters have a bird reference in them. (Karasuma = crow circle, Ikaruga = grosbeak, Washizu = eagle head, Torigaya = valley of birds, Tsubame = swallow, Takatsukasa = hawk government). Tsubasa's first name also means "wing".

* [[Transfer Student Uniforms]]: Sort of. Yoichi transfers into Ibuki's class at the start of the series, but he never bothers wearing any kind of school uniform, preferring to stick with his samurai clothes.

* [[Tsundere]]: Ibuki is a type-B, Ayame is a textbook type-A.
