History Manga / CastleTownDandelion

* SuperStrength: Teru has this as his power, "Limit Over". It allows him to casually jump dozens of feat into the air and shatter the floor beneath him with a stomp.

* {{Yonkoma}}: Of course!

* CoolCrown: Worn by the Sakurada siblings in the promotional material for the manga and the anime, and of course, worn by Mr. Sakurada during official duties. He often forgets to take it off though, even at home.

* TheFaceless: The manga makes an effort to keep the King's face obscured ''constantly''. Averted with the first episode of the anime, where after a few moments of blocking his face with a newspaper like the manga, eventually reveals his face.

* {{Housewife}}: Despite being the queen, Satsuki seems to be more comfortable in this role instead.

* PimpedOutCape: Part of Souichiro's official clothing.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Regardless about Kanade's feelings about Akane's shyness, at the end of the day they're still sisters, and Akane will gladly do away with her savings to make sure Akane's safe.

* ShrinkingViolet: Creator/{{Funimation}} is understating it when they say Akane is "camera-shy". She's just shy; the camera just adds to her anxiety. The "dandelion" in the title is related to this trait as she wants to be out of the sight, just like the dandelion that people usually ignore.
* SickEpisode: [[spoiler:Chapter 12 involves an Akane brought down with fever, with Kanade and Shiori the only other people at home.]]

* WardrobeMalfunction: [[spoiler:Chapter 11 deals with a skirtless Akane.]]

* SuccessionCrisis: Averted. Not only is their dad the King alive, none of the Sakurada kids seem to treat the coming election with any seriousness. Indeed, Akane is only ''maybe'' thinking of going after the crown only because, if she were the ruler, she'd be able to ''order'' all those security cameras disabled.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Irregardless about Kanade's feelings about Akane's shyness, at the end of the day they're still sisters, and Akane will gladly do away with her savings to make sure Akane's safe.

* SickEpisode: [[spoiler:Chapter 12 involves an Ake brought down with fever, with Kanade and Shiori the only other people at home.]]

Drawn and written by Ayumu Kasuga (known for the designs he drew for LightNovel/GonnaBeTheTwinTail), '''Castle Town Dandelion''' (城下町のダンデライオン) is a 4koma comedy serialized in ''Magazine/MangaTimeKirara Miracle!'' since 2012, with three compiled volumes since then. An adaptation by Production IMS and directed by Noriaki Akitaya aired during the Summer2015Anime season.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Haruka, the fifth child and second son. His power is ''Lots of Next'', which allows him to calculate the probability of things succeeding or failing instantly and... that's it.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: A minor version. Kanade is not as nice as her public persona would lead you to believe, and has a particularly low opinion of Akane's crippling shyness.

* GirlishPigtails: Worn by Akane and, later on, Satou. In Akane's case however, they're placed much lower on her head compared to Satou's, as she finds putting them up any higher childish.
* GravityMaster: Akane, our [[TheProtagonist main character]]. Has the power ''Gravity Core'' which allows her to manipulate the weight of herself or anything else she touches, and make them lighter or heavier. She mostly uses this to [[{{Flight}} fly]] and run faster than normal.
* GreenThumb: Exaggerated by Hikari, the seventh child and fifth daughter. Her superpower is ''God's Hand'', which allows her to manipulate the growth of ''any'' living thing, with the caveat that when so affected, it's stuck that way for twenty-four hours. In practice, she just uses this to age her body up to adulthood and mess with Akane.

* MesACrowd: Misaki, the sixth child and fourth daughter, and Haruka's twin sister. Her power is ''All For One'', which allows her to make seven copies of herself. Each copy reflects a facet of Misaki's personality, and each is ''really really'' good at one subject, which annoys Misaki to no end, as Misaki herself is otherwise bland and doesn't excel in anything in particular.

* PhotographicMemory: Aoi, the eldest child and oldest daughter, has ''two'' powers -- one of them, ''Invisible Work'', is essentially this.%%, and ''Absolute Order'' (whose function still hasn't been revealed in the manga yet).
* ThePowerOfCreation: Kanade, the third child and second daughter (and Shu's [[HalfIdenticalTwins twin sister]]) has ''Heaven's Gate'', allowing her to create ''anything'' she thinks of. Stops short of being a StoryBreakerPower by [[NecessaryDrawback two things]]: she can only use material readily available where she currently is, and anything she makes immediately gets assigned a in-universe pricetag to it... which is ''then'' immediately deducted from her savings account. Ouch.

* SecretlyWealthy: Kanade's savings account is on par with the national budget. Akane doesn't even know that until Kanade tells her.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Shiori, the youngest child and sixth daughter, has ''Soul Mate'', which allows her to talk to animals and even ''inanimate objects''.
* SuperStrength: Teru, the eight child and third son, has ''Limit Over'' which gives him this.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: Shu, the second child and oldest son, has ''Transporter'', which allows him to teleport himself and anything (or anyone) he touches to a location he's previously thought about.
* WeWinBecauseYouDidNot: Shuu's not interested in actually being king, ooooh no. He's just in the running to stop ''Kanade'' from becoming the ruler of the country, for reasons still undisclosed.

* SecretlyWealthy: Kanade's deposits is on par with the national budget. Akane doesn't even know that until Kanade tells her.

* CoolCrown: Worn by the Sakurada siblings in the advertisement for the manga and the anime, and of course, worn by Mr. Sakurada during official duties. He often forgets to take it off though, even at home.

* ModestRoyalty: Aside from the fact that the Sakuradas are supposedly the royal family, they act like your typical middle-class family. Heck, they don't even ''live'' in the castle; instead, they live in a two-floor flat in the suburbs, and the kids all go to public schools all with minimal supervision from the palace staff (aside from the cameras, of course!). For a casual observer the only telltale sign is the limousine the King uses to and from the castle.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: In the manga the King towers over his wife (and indeed, the rest of the family!). The anime tones this down significantly.

* AdaptationExpansion: Par for course for a ''Kirara'' 4koma adaptation, where the second half of the first episode is entirely new, and was only done so that viewers could be introduced to what each Sakurada sibling's abilities.

* SuccessionCrisis: Averted. Not only is their dad the King alive, none of the Sakurada kids seem to treat the coming election with any seriousness. Indeed, Akane is only ''maybe'' thinking of going after the crown only because, if she were the ruler, she'd be able to ''order'' all those security cameras disabled.

Stops short of being a StoryBreakerPower by [[NecessaryDrawback two things]]: she can only use material readily available where she currently is, and anything she makes immediately gets assigned a in-universe pricetag to it... which is ''then'' immediately deducted from her savings account.

* HappilyMarried: The Sakurada's have to be, to have ''nine'' kids.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: While Akane has a crippling case of shyness, this doesn't stop her from stepping up whenever someone is in trouble, as shown when she goes after a mugger in the first chapter of the manga and the first episode of the anime.
