History Literature / EightMillionGods

* {{Nekomimi}}: Leo, on account of his ''bakemono'' heritage.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]: Miriam

* ContemptibleCover: It's a Baen book. It shows two girls in brief schoolgirl outfits engaging in a leaping SingleStrokeBattle with katanas while snarling racoons gather around them. No such scene exists in the book.

* OneHundredAndEight: The PIN of the locker the sword is hidden in.

* FantasyForbiddingFather: A pretty extreme example with Nikki's mother, which only solution to her daughter's OCD is to toss her in an insane asylum and forget she exists. The fact that Nikki, even with her compulsion, is a writer good enough to get a consistent money flow and is otherwise a fully functional person is something she doesn't gives a damn about.

* BiTheWay: Pixii, although she seems to prefer girls.

* HollywoodLaw: Hypergraphia is not a psychological disorder that is dangerous to either Nikki nor other people, and thus her mother would not be able to order such a hard-core manhunt as the one the police has taken over on the United States. It is implied that [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections she has used her political power as a senator to force the cops' hands.]]

Nikki is a published novelist with an unusual psychological disorder where she is compelled to write. While hiding in Japan from her mother, a senator who has repeatedly attempted to commit Nikki to an insane asylum "for her own good", Nikki writes the next scene for her book, where an expatriate American is killed messily with a blender, and posts it to her fanpage. Shortly thereafter, a policeman hears her overhear her description of the scene and promptly arrests her for the murder of a man who was killed just the night before in the exact same manner. Nikki faces tanuki assassins, a sinister government organization, and a mysterious deadly man who has a fondness for kittens.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Taira no Atsumori.

* PowersViaPossession: Being possessed by a kami gives you unnatural strength, speed, and durability, and makes you completely invisible to cameras and scrying.

* {{Youkai}}: Mainly {{Tanuki}}, but a Jorogumo also works for the villain. One of the leads is part nekomata, altough they use the term bakeneko, a catch-all term for cat youkai.
