Something weird and fascinating is going on, but our brains are melting just trying to make sense of it all. There's this boy, you see... only (s)he might be a girl, and there's this world, or this collection of worlds, and... oh, heck, check back again after we finish assembling the JigsawPuzzlePlot.

A manga, anime, and videogame ({{H-Game}} and non-H version titled ''Tōka Gettan: Kōfū no Ryōō''). Some instances call it ''Tōka Gettan: Moonlight Lady II'' as it is spinoff of the videogame and OVA ''Moonlight Lady''.

----
!!Provides examples of:

* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Yumiko.
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: The first available {{Fansub}} version of this series practically inundates viewers with "educational" translation notes.
* BackToFront
* BigEater: Momoka Kawakabe.
* BleachedUnderpants: It's based off an erotic visual novel.
* BrotherSisterIncest: (inter-generational... er, sort of)
* TheCameo: Io Azuma from the original ''Moonlight Lady'' (''No Surface Moon'') game appears as one of the mansion's servants.
* CatGirl: Kaya and Yurika.
* ChristmasEpisode: Episode 9.
* ClothingDamage: Seen in one episode due to fish attacks, being immersed in water, and [[spoiler: being magically made out of rice paper.]] Also seen in another episode where a character gets whipped and suffers this trope.
* CreepyTwins: triplets to be exact. They seem to have a hive mind.
* {{Crossover}}: Episode with YamiToBoushiToHonNoTabibito characters visiting, for extra MindScrew.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Most of episode 21.
* DreamingOfAWhiteChristmas: {{Invoked}} via YourMindMakesItReal.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Shouko.
* ElaborateUniversityHigh
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Every car Shouko Rokujou drives certainly is, particularly the one involved in the spectacular explosion in episode 9.
* EyeScream: Episode 1 with Kiyotsugu
* {{Fanservice}}: And no shortage of it, either.
* FunWithSubtitles: In episode 25, one character believes that the subtitle displaying his name is wrong, and insists it be corrected.
* GenderBender: (or WholesomeCrossdresser)
* GoGoEnslavement: Most of Yurika's screen time is this.
* GratuitousEnglish: probably the best example is Nene telling [[YamiToBoushiToHonNoTabibito Ken-chan]] to GO TO HELL!!
* GratuitousItalian: Makoto uses this a lot, including many musical terms.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Only noticed by Makoto.
* GrowingUpSucks: Yumiko wants to go back to high school.
* {{Honorifics}}: Makoto uses some unusual ones, like "Tou-chan-senpai."
* {{Immortality}}: [[spoiler: Nene and Kaya appear to have this.]]
* JigsawPuzzlePlot: To make sense of the plot, watch episode 26, 24-1 and then 25. That's right. You have to watch the series ''backwards'' to make things fall into place.
** Alternatively, watch it forwards numerous times.
* {{Meido}}: Nene
* MindScrew: On the first viewing, it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll have no idea what's going on for the first six or seven episodes, whether you know it's in reverse chronological order or not. Those who first tuned in before the backwards airing order became well-known were even more confused.
* NoblewomansLaugh: When those triplets do it, the effect amplifies.
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted in the case of Makoto Inukai, who gets her first at the rather late age of 15.
* OneSteveLimit: With a list of names including Yu''mi''ko (writer), Yu''ri''ko (Yumiko's mother), and Yuri''ka'' (vampire catgirl), you'd think the writers were deliberately trying to flout the limit.
* TheOtherDarrin: The original PC game, the non-adult PlayStation port, and the anime all have different voice casts.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The lesbian catgirl variety, to be specific.
* ParentalIncest: Manages to include the {{Squick}}y and non-Squicky varieties.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Triplets (all the time they aren't playing pranks) and the author lady (sometimes).
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: The character we know as Touka Kamiazuma is a replacement for Yumiko's daughter, who died in childhood because she couldn't handle the power of the stone sword.]]
* ShortTitles: Every episode title is a single kanji character, and all but one of them can be represented as a single word in English.
* ShrinesAndTemples
* SingleTargetSexuality: Shouko, towards Makoto.
* SpinOff: Originally, a planned title for ''Touka Gettan'' was ''Moonlight Lady 2''.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Makoto Inukai, as well as Yumiko Kamiazuma.
* UpdatedRerelease: The original ''Touka Gettan'' game got a port for the PlayStation 2, with all adult content removed. Subsequently, because of this, they had to hire a new cast for the new version.
* WidgetSeries
* YaoiFangirl: The triplets.
* YourMindMakesItReal: Yumiko's powers.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Several characters, but Yumiko deserves special mention for achieving the look with a long sweater and thigh-high stockings.
