History Manga / Binbogamiga

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Chapter 23 has Ichiko, Ranmaru, and Nadeshiko go through hours of taking photos to make the perfect shareable one and exchange it with Keita's own. While Momiji is happy Ichiko is actually trying to bond with her friends, she then asks why they didn't just take a picture with ''Keita'' if they just wanted his pictures so badly.

** In one chapter Ichiko became so paranoid of Momiji's abrupt niceness that she imagines herself in a critical scene from ''Manga/DeathNote''.
*** Appears in episode 12 of the anime as well.

** After Momiji [[spoiler: switches personality due to her bath,]] Ichiko goes into a Manga/DeathNote ImagineSpot.
** The fake preview refers to the sequel of the anime as Binbougami-ga! [[Manga/ToLoveRu Darkness!]]

* StatingYheSimpleSolution: Chapter 23 has Ichiko, Ranmaru, and Nadeshiko go through hours of taking photos to make the perfect shareable one and exchange it with Keita's own. While Momiji is happy Ichiko is actually trying to bond with her friends, she then asks why they didn't just take a picture with ''Keita'' if they just wanted his pictures so badly.

** Momiji also changes in Episode 12-13 of the anime, where she becomes cuter, nicer, and polite, due to being completely cleaned from a bath [[spoiler:which strips a God of Misfortune of all her powers]]. This also extends to Kumagai, who becomes a standard teddy bear that is equally nice. [[spoiler:Then he accidentally gets thrown in the garbage truck, returns to normal, and convinces Momo'o to help him return Momiji back to normal as well!]]

* NoDialogueEpisode: Chapter 15 serves as this, since the subject of the chapter (...), is essentially mute. Dialogue only comes up in the last two pages, when he has no more focus.

* LightIsNotGood: Good fortune energy is not necessarily a good thing: If your luck is too good, you never learn good sense and just burn through your luck with foolish decision making. Further, without bad luck to balance it it's likely you'll never properly learn empathy, so you'll be all alone. Quite possibly when you need the help the most. So with an imbalance between fortune and misfortune, you're either completely broke with horrible luck or lonely, cruel and with poor sense.

The mangaka layer went on to make ''Manga/TwinStarExorcists''.

Be sure to keep up with the Mangaka's other work, ''Manga/TwinStarExorcists''

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: ''Two'' from Momiji to Ichiko in Chapter 12 of the manga, when [[spoiler: Ranmaru is trapped under the wreckage of the old school building]]
--->'''Momiji:''' Hmm, this is surprising...Are you possibly...''afraid to be close to other people?''
--->'''Ichiko:''' Who ever said that, you misfortune god!!! Besides, the only person important to me is Suwano--
--->'''Momiji:''' ''But Suwano-san isn't here anymore, is he!?''

--->[[spoiler:'''Ranmaru:''' ''Why do you keep pushing people away? Did something happen in the past?'']]
--->[[spoiler:'''Ranmaru:''' Then why did you show me what happened...your past! ''Isn't it because you don't want to go through those feelings again?! Isn't it because you don't wanna be like that bitch Kurumi?!'']]

* CombatSadomasochist: When it involves a woman, Inugami can go into this, especially because it helps him transform.
** Works against him when he fights Ranmaru. He felt a little too much pleasure after being kicked ''off a highway'', preventing him from attacking until he felt pain again. Ranmaru, on the other hand, couldn't bring herself to hurt an adorable dog.
*** [[spoiler:He has a SuperMode when he becomes a sadist.]]

-->'''Suwano:''' "Your friends sure have quite interesting hobbies."
-->'''Ichiko:''' "Don't get any ideas, you old creep!"

* [[DoesNotLikeShoes Does Not Like Left Shoes]]: Part of Momiji's bum guise is wearing only one shoe, leaving her left foot bare, barring the times she wears disguises or takes the one shoe off to go completely barefoot. One wonders how uncomfortable she must be walking around with off-balance steps.

* [[AnimateInanimateObject Tsukumogami]]: There are several in the manga, thanks to a god-item ping-pong paddle that makes and destroys artifact gods.

* NonindicativeName: Fortune and misfortune aren't quite as simple as they appear. They do consist of good and bad luck respectively, but there's more to it than that. Without steady effort, you'll use up your fortune and it will ruin you. Unless you're a freak like Ichiko, the world won't hand itself to you on a platter no matter how amazing your luck or ability is. Too much fortune also leads to arrogance, greed, callous behavior and abandoning of virtue. Misfortune, on the other hand, brings people together, begets empathy and brings true happiness to those that don't fret over it. Neither is strictly good or bad and you need both to be a balanced individual, something pointed out from the very start. The super fortunate Ichiko is actually miserable beneath her arrogant exterior at the start of the story.

** LovelyAngels: From that point on.
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Anti-Heroes Have Standards]]: Even if she occasionally takes drastic measures in extracting Ichiko's fortune, Momiji has a few lines she'd rather not cross, such as murder or letting someone die on her watch, because that would instantly jeopardize her presence in the human realm.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Nadeshiko's attempt to trap Ichiko involved dropping her down a hole and forcing her to eat a certain number of dishes before she can reach the surface. Ranmaru wasn't so lucky.

* SomethingElseAlsoRises: [[spoiler: When Tsuwabuki confesses to Ichiko, the cherry tree behind her bursts into full bloom, even though it's November.]]

* AdultFear: When Kouta goes missing in one chapter, Keita (and eventually, Ichiko) searches frantically to find him.

** [[spoiler: The [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/binbougami_ga/c030/47.html cliffhanger]] in Chapter 30 is eerily similar to the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Pet_Sematary_3194.jpg trope's image.]]]]
*** It's not helped by Chapter 31, where [[spoiler: it's revealed that Sorata hit his head hard in the accident and might not wake up again.]] Thus bringing up the fear of your child getting hurt because you took your eyes off of them for a second.

* BeautifulAllAlong: Momiji usually goes around like a hobo (justifiable with her position). When she finally cleans up however... [[http://www.mangareader.net/binbougami-ga/16/30 damn]].

* AmbiguousGender: Author's notes for Sekienmaru leave it vague as to which gender they belong. The name is masculine, the appearance is not. Rika treats Sekienmaru like a girl that wears boys clothes, despite their embarrassment about female clothing.

** The character designs frequently flip to that of another series, most commonly making normally cute girls look like the ultra masculine males of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

* CerebusSyndrome: The final two episodes are ''dark'' for gag series.

*** [[spoiler:He has a SuperMode when become a sadist.]]

* GodIsGood: The gods are portrayed as being near universally well intentioned and necessary for humanity. They have little faith in humans to behave appropriately but still try to help them out anyway.

** one of the item gods actually transforms into a VF-1 Valkyrie and unleashes a Macross...Nicknack...Massacre in Chapter 48 that consists of a rice cooker, a japanese tea-cup, a rubber fish, a shogi piece, a lucky cat statuette, an airhorn, a coffee mug, a matroshka doll, a piggy bank and a small sign.

* LampShadeHanging: In the anime, a character asks the teacher why their class gets all the transfer students. The teacher flatly replies it's because this is the class that the main character is in.

** As Momiji describes the balance between fortune and misfortune, [[Anime/DragonBallZ Vegetto and Vegeta]] pop up.

* PantyShot: ''Almost'' completely averted. In chapter 34, [[BreakingTheFourthWall a passerby notes]] that the author has absolutely no intention of drawing anyone's underwear. However, in the chapter 59 Q&A, a reader notices that the author slipped up once, in a tiny, almost unnoticeable shot. The author laments not being able to hide it in the answer.

* LampShadeHanging: Pretty much everywhere.
