Arumi and Sasshi are two twelve-year-olds who have grown up together in the Abenobashi shopping arcade in Osaka. But the arcade and the neighborhood around it are now slated for redevelopment; one by one, the old familiar buildings are being torn down. Worse, Arumi and her family are moving to Hokkaido. What's poor Sasshi to do?
Line 19:
* [[Art Shift]]: Between a more realistic style for the mundane world and a more flat, colorful style for the alternate dimensions.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Sasshi to Mune-Mune

'''Arumi:''' ...that ''really'' the issue? }}
* [[Aside Glance]]: Done by Sasshi a couple times through the series. Sometimes looking at the audience, and other times just looking away from Arumi so he doesn't have to make eye contact.
Line 34:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Arumi's "Being human, having your health. That's what matters", which she says three times in the first episode but rarely after that. Sasshi steals it for {{spoiler|the last line of the show.}}
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_tMD5bTbLM Mr. Kouhei] in episode 12. Also counts as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

'''''FUCKING''''' HOTDOGS FOR SALE, <big>'''FUCK YEAH!'''</big>''}}
* [[Cranial Eruption]]
* [[Crash Into Hello]]
Line 74:
* [[Incredibly Conspicuous Drag]]: Crossdresser "Ms." Aki. is never outed, but is rather obvious — so much so that it seems the rest of the cast is aware of it and just treats him/her as a lovable eccentric.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded by Sasshi]]
{{quote| '''Sasshi''': ''"Woah, Arumi. Since when did you have boobs?"''<br />
'''Arumi''': ''"Aww shoot, you noticed already."''<br />
'''Arumi's Dad''': ''"No-no-no, you still have not deciphered the meaning of this tank unit, ey mon ami?"'' <br />
'''Sasshi''': ''"You pad Arumi's boobs so now it's really a [[Patton|Pad-Ton]] tank unit? Heheheh Like it would really be something THAT stupid."''<br />
'''Sasshi's Dad''': ''"Uhhh...."''<br />
Line 95:
* [[Marilyn Maneuver]]: Ms. Aki pulls this off during a USO show in the War episode. Refer to [[Glamorous Wartime Singer]] for further detail.
* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: Mune-Mune to Sasshi. [[Running Gag|Oh so very much]], but turned into [[Squick]] when {{spoiler|Sasshi knows and confronts the truth that Mune-Mune [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|is Sasshi's Grandma]]}}
{{quote| '''Sasshi:''' AAAH! I DON'T WHETHER TO BE SCARED OR HAPPY! I'M SO CONFUSED!!}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Mune" is Japanese for "chest." {{spoiler|Sounds like a nickname at first, but no, that's her actual given name. She also adopts the pseudonym "Muneyama Muneko" (literally "Chestmountain Chestchild") in the last episode.}}
* [[Medieval European Fantasy]]: Episode 2, and perhaps 10 too, considering it is based on fairy tales, which in turn have a generally MEF setting.
Line 114:
* [[Role Playing Game Verse]]: The first world they jump to.
* [[Running Gag]]:
