History Anime / YuugenKaisha

* ReassignedToAntarctica: U Division seems to be this, with a grand total of three employees. One apparently sitting around passing time until retirement or death, a lady with a HairTriggerTemper, and Karino, who's...[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a bit shabby.]]

* BeleagueredAssistant: Makoto, who despite being roughly eight years old, handles pretty much everything on the administrative end of the business, along with doing his best to keep Ayaka from drinking and spending herself to death.

* NatureAdoresAVirgin: Discussed in-series, when Bosco explains to Ayaka that it's become harder for vampires to find virgins in their day and age, given how liberal society had become. The fact that Makiko is [[PurityPersonified not only a virgin, but doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, or do drugs]], makes her blood especially pure. Which causes her stick out like a walking neon "drink me" sign and is the reason she was being relentlessly pursued by Dracula.

The series follows the exploits of Phantom Quest, an organization lead by one [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Ayaka]] [[ChristmasCake Kisaragi.]] They specialize in tracking down and taking out the supernatural - from ghosts, vampires, and every other manner of evil spirit across Tokyo. Which are often commissioned to them by U Division's [[OccultDetective Detective Karino]], both to lighten his workload and as a personal favor to Ayaka.

** Ayaka's also prone to it, in regards to Karino. First seen when he offers her a job at U Division as his assistant, and said he'd put in a good word for her at the admissions desk. She smiles faintly and tells him not to expect any Phantom Quest discounts. Also seen during the final scene of Incident File 04, when she nearly confesses her feelings for him.

** And, finally, there's Mamoru's: [[PerpetualPoverty "We're in the red]] '''[[PerpetualPoverty AGAIN!!"]]'''

* LetsGetDangerous: Ayaka and Karino.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent:
** Bosco is anemic [[spoiler: due to limiting himself to feeding only four times a year]] and is capable of walking around in broad daylight, though he wear sunglasses to shield his eyes (he switches to a tinted pair of [[http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pince-nez pince nez]] while he's indoors).

* WhoYouGonnaCall: As previously mentioned, Phantom Quest will take any case involving paranormal activity, or the supernatural (so long as it pays well). Incidentally, the show's intro doubles as their ad!

* [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Bottle Fairy]]: Ayaka. Big time. She's known for getting plastered and punching out cab drivers. Or just getting plastered period. The intro even shows Karino carrying her home while she's drunk, and in case file 01, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Bosco]] refused to take her blood, due to the alcohol content!

Rather than an overarching narrative, it's more of [[{{sitcom}} a sitcom]] with each episode being its own self-contained adventure which follows [[MonsterOfTheWeek a case-by-case format.]] Though some of the spooks they meet aren't bad, such as [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire an anemic vampire who runs a tea shop]], or a ghost who helps out with a museum exhibit.

* DestructiveSaviour: Ayaka, and she has the bills to show for it too.

But the baddies best beware: Phantom Quest is certainly capable and will readily accept any job offer so long as it pays well. In fact, the only opposition that the company faces is [[PerpetualPoverty the constant onset of debt]], thanks to [[DestructiveSavior their president.]]
