Ririchiyo Shirakiin, scion of an influential family, has an issue -- she has [[No Social Skills]]. She resolves to get rid of this by moving out and living on her own in the "Maison de Ayakashi", a mansion housing [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half-Human Hybrids]] who pass a very strict examination, each resident coming with his/her own Secret Service (SS) agent, also a [[Half-Human Hybrid]]. Ririchiyo refused to have an SS accompany her, but eventually finds out that her assigned SS -- Soushi Miketsukami -- was a fox spirit she helped as a child. Now, whether she likes it or not, she has to start living with the protective Soushi and her fellow tenants and their SS Agents.

Line 56:
* [[Cross Dresser]]: Maid #2.
* [[Credits Jukebox]]: Each episode gets its own ending theme.
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: All of the characters, really.
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: All of them. Karuta zig-zags this: she's adorable in her human form, but her [[Dem Bones|Demon form]] on the other hand, not so much.
* [[Dead Person Impersonation]]: {{spoiler|Reincarnation!Soushi tries to emulate the previous Soushi to please reincarnation!Ririchiyo because he knows about their past relationship.}}
Line 82:
** This series is famous for providing fanservices aimed at both kind of sexual orientation. Yukinokouji has very nice body, while Soushi is a sensual kind of man.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Made apparent by Soushi's backstory, on grounds of superstition and fear.
* [[First Time in Thethe Sun]]: Soushi was trapped by his family since birth but managed to escape by manipulating the more powerful women around him. {{spoiler|Learning its lesson, the Miketsukami house placed even more restrictions on his reincarnation. Ririchiyo, by asking Kagerou's mom to save Soushi when he was reborn, let him see the sun again.}}
* [[Foreshadowing]]: In Episode 1 there is a [[Running Gag]] where Ririchiyo is complaining about Soushi's canine loyalty is underlined by him [[Sprouting Ears|sprouting a furry tail and pointy ears]]. When a burglar appears at the end of the episode Soushi releases his kyuubi-kitsune legacy, sprouting the same ears and nine tails.
** Ririchiyo notices how Soushi always gets what he wants by sweet-talking others. [[Gold Digger|Guess how he rose to position of power...]]
Line 97:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Soushi.}}
* [[He Will Not Cry, So I Cry for Him]]: When learning of Ririchiyo's desperate and perpetual loneliness, Soushi cries on her behalf.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Kana Hanazawa]] (Karuta) played another [[Emotionless Girl]], "[[Angel Beats (Anime)|Angel]]".
** You may recognize [[Mamoru Miyano|Zange]] from his other [[Uta no Princesama (Visual Novel)Prince-sama|K]] [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Mangamanga)|E]] [[Ouran High School Host Club (Manga)|E]] [[Durarara|T]] roles.
** [[Tomokazu Sugita|Kagerou]] [[Gintama (Manga)|sounds]] [[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya|awfully]] [[Sket Dance|familiar]]...
* [[Hidden Depths]]: All of the residents of Ayakashi Kan.

* [[Hormone-Addled Teenager]]: Ririchiyo thinks that this is the reason why she has an "irregular heart beat" when thinking about her bodyguard.
* [[Hot Chick in Aa Badass Suit]]: Nobara and {{spoiler|after the timeskip, Karuta.}}
* [[Huge Girl Tiny Guy]]: Karuta and Watanuki's youkai forms. She's a giant (at least two stories tall) skeleton and he's a plush toy sized tanuki.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Soushi and Ririchiyo.
Line 119:
* [[It Got Worse]]: {{spoiler|Inu X Boku SS took a sharp swerve in this direction in chapter 18 of the manga.}}
* [[Jerkass]]: Kagerou, though [[Played for Laughs]].
** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: As the series goes on, Kagerou's more like this. I mean, he folded 1000 cranes for Karuta by himself in an effort to help her return to normal in Chapter 17. {{spoiler|And reincarnated Kagerou's the one who gave Ririchiyo a wake up call by telling her not to confuse the reincarnated Soushi with the past Soushi.}} He's actually kinda sweet, albeit in a more... twisted way.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: Ririchiyo has this in order to protect herself from others, and it's been on long enough that it's almost a case of [[Becoming the Mask]].
* [[Kappa]]: Kawasumi Jyoutarou, the cook at Ayakashi Kan.
Line 180:
* [[She's Got Legs]]: Much of the fanservice by Ririchiyo focuses on her ridiculously long and full legs.
** Characters in this series in general have pretty nice legs.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Karuta and Renshou try to draw [[Nausicaa of the Valley of Thethe Wind (Manga)|Ohmu]].
* [[Sliding Scale of Beauty]]: Ririchiyo, Nobara, and Karuta are often mentioned to be beautiful or cute by other characters, making them World Class Beauty. Their youkai forms push them into [[Uncanny Valley]] territory however, especially Karuta's.
* [[Smart People Wear Glasses]]: Frequently used. Even characters who normally do not wear glasses, such as Ririchiyo and Soushi, are shown with them in their spare time to illustrate their studious sides.
* [[Sole Survivor]]: {{spoiler|Renshou Sorinozuka was the only person to survive the events that occurred 23 years ago, and the only person who has yet to reincarnate. In Chapter 19, we see an older Renshou, who's about 41 years old.}}
* [[Something About a Rose]]: Roses appear in the background when Zange hits on Soushi in Episode 4.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Riricho vs Ririchiyo.
** The different spelling is mainly a confusion by fan scanlators between "ちょ" and "ちよ" while translating. It's confirmed in the anime, however, where her name is definitely pronounced as Ririchiyo.
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: Ririchiyo, even though she tries really hard to hide it.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Ririchiyo says Souchi's devotion is stalker-y.
** And she's right. He even has a shrine dedicated to her in his apartment, covered in her photos, though it's [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Straight Man and Wise Guy]]: Watanuki and Zange, respectively.
