History Literature / Kanokon

* BoobsOfSteel:
** Chizuru's a very powerful yôkai, as well as a very busty one. These attributes are definitely related. The plotline of episodes 9 and 10 is [[BroughtDownToNormal the sealing of her power and her attempts to regain them]]. More importantly, Chizuru barely notices her powers being gone the entire time -- it's the sudden lack of cleavage she's utterly freaked out by.
** Taken very literally in the still image of the 'Boob Crusader'.

* BroughtDownToNormal: When Chizuru loses her BoobsOfSteel.

Compare with ''LightNovel/VenusToMamoru''.

** Then, in Chapter 32, Tayura "explains" to Akane that Kôta and Chizuru were doing {{Cosplay}}, and Ai and Ren were also cosplaying. The visual for the twins' supposed cosplay is clearly ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero''.

''Kanokon'' is a 2005 LightNovel-turned-{{Manga}} and, in 2008, an {{Anime}}. It revolves around young exchange student Kôta Oyamada, who starts at a new school, only to be approached by the most attractive girl on campus almost immediately. Chizuru Minamoto lures him to an empty classroom and immediately attempts to force herself on him, only stopped by the appearance of her ears and tail.

The series later got a two-part {{OVA}} taking place in the summer months, as well as a wide variety of fanservicey extras on the [=DVDs=].

** Chizuru's interest in Kouta is indicative of her being attracted to males. However, in Chapter 34, the ninja twins got to suck on Chizuru's breasts. As they indulge themselves, she comments, "It's been a while... since a girl did this to me..." Then Kouta asks, "Been a while!?" in response and she awkwardly laughs a bit nervously. The "ambiguously" comes from that it's not entirely certain if she's truly a bisexual or if it's a case of "it's just a phase" similar to a character who ExperimentedInCollege.

* {{Gainaxing}}: If she wasn't supernatural, Chizuru would already have back problems.

* HornyDevils: Horny doesn't begin to describe Chizuru. And judging by her reputation, her mother seems even worse, which is saying a lot.

* UnwantedHarem: Chizuru and Nozomu are both quite forward, while Kôta has {{Heroic BSOD}}s every time they come near him -- doubly so if they're half naked, which is about 50% of the time. Kôta makes absolutely no attempt to attract the two, since they both go after him on their own for unexplained reasons (although Chizuru mentions he "smells like the forest" at one point). Taken [[UpToEleven Up To Twelve]] in chapter 41.

* PantyShot: You'd be [[{{Pun}} hard pressed]] to find a scene that doesn't feature this.

Yes, ''ears and tail'' -- Chizuru is, in reality, a 400 year-old {{kitsune}} who's going to school to learn about the modern world. Attracted to Kôta because of his childish innocence and scent of the countryside on him, she spends her days attempting to seduce him in more and more over the top ways. Later, other non-humans show up, including a wolf-spirit named Nozomu, who immediately attempts to beat Chizuru at her own game, several assassins, a teacher or two, etc. Meanwhile, poor Kôta has to put up with having the extremely busty Chizuru and the small and cute Nozomu, each competing to find more and more ways to take his virginity.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Ai and Ren are implied to be this if their affection for Chizuru('s breasts) is any hint. Unless it is a case of SingleTargetSexuality.
