History Manga / HakkendenTouhouHakkenIbun

* SingleTargetSexuality: A mostly PlayedForLaughs case, it seems that apart from Shino, Genpachi barely has anything else in his mind.

* YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler:The illness that Shino used to have caused this. Of course, now with Murasame in his body...]]

* RealMenCook: Kobungo is apparently a good cook.

* HeroWithAnFInGood: Kaname reveals to Shino that despite their good intentions, Genpachi and Kobungo's attempts in ending the drought for the villagers were circumvented by their demon sides not really being able to distinguish between "rain" and "raging storms" (which inevitably destroyed a few properties).

* TheComicallySerious: Sousuke has shades of this. Especially apparent in Episode 8 when it comes to Megu.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: When Hamaji is first brought to his mansion Kaname comments on how he'd been told that there was someone who'd looked like a doll amongst the trio, but he can see that this wasn't true at all (as a jab at Hamaji's brash personality). Hamaji says that it's true that they had someone who looked like a doll amongst the trio--but that "someone" referred to was ''Shino'', who, by the traditions of their village, was a male required to wear female garb until the age of fifteen, and looked more of a beauty than Hamaji did.

* UndyingLoyalty: Sousuke towards Shino (and Hamaji). All three of them toward one another, really, but he seems to fit the mould better, being TheCaretaker as well.

* {{Bishoujo}} / [[spoiler:WholesomeCrossdresser]]: When Hamaji is first brought to his mansion Kaname comments on how he'd been told that there was someone who'd looked like a doll amongst the trio, but he can see that this wasn't true at all (as a jab at Hamaji's brash personality). Hamaji says that it's true that they had someone who looked like a doll amongst the trio--but that "someone" referred to was ''Shino'', who, by the traditions of their village, was a male required to wear female garb until the age of fifteen, and looked more of a beauty than Hamaji did.

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Ayane Mizuki

* SexyPriest: Rio. It's even made clear he's the Church's golden boy because of his looks

* Heroic Albino: Ayane Mizuki

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman

* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: There's currently only a single main female character, although she's more than capable of taking care of herself when she finds herself in a tight spot.

* KnightInShiningArmor: Seiran has done much to earn the contempt of the characters and the audience, but the reason above all that finally makes Kaname go up against him is...[[spoiler:one of his creepy insects cutting Hamaji in the face; he states that doing such to a lady's face was inexcusable]]. Very much a SkewedPriorities deal. Could hint to an [[AntiHero apathetic personality]], considering that he seemed to know what Seiran was doing to Genpachi, but never did anything about it.

* UndyingLoyalty: Sousuke towards Shino (and Hamaji). All three of them toward one another, really, but he seems to fit the mould better, being TeamMom as well.

* RoofHopping: Kind of drives home how much of a {{Badass}} Shino is (despite his looks) the moment he decides that it's needed

* HowToGatherCharacters: Rio tells Shino and Sousuke to find the bearers of the other seals of the House before he gives them back theirs (which Shino thought they'd lost and Sousuke doesn't seem to remember). Presumably this means the other "dogs," although one of them has already been met with twice and the brother he's looking for has already been seen by the audience as well.

* RoofHopping: Kind of drives home how much of a {{Baddass}} Shino is (despite his looks) the moment he decides that it's needed

* [[ChestBurster Arm Burster]]: ''Murasame'' (the crow, not the sword) ''tears out of Shino's arm.'' Specifically, his arm's ''skin.'' Shino seems to feel no pain from it (or has NervesOfSteel), but it's easier to watch his sword transformation than watch Murasame show up. It's implied that Murasame is a part of his arm now, until he becomes the crow/sword.

* TheCaretaker: Sousuke seems the type to take people under his wing and try to diffuse any volatile situations he comes across, but he's especially this to Shino.

* UndyingLoyalty: Sousuke towards Shino (and Hamaji). All three of them toward one another, really, but he seems to fit the mould better, being TheCaretaker as well.

** AnimalsNotToScale: Rio's wolf is introduced in his more humongous size, and then we learn Murasame (the crow) can actually grow to that size as well. Until Sousuke interrupts them from mauling each other.
** TalkingAnimal: Murasame

* [[ChestBurster Arm Burster]]: ''Murasame'' (the crow, not the sword) ''tears out from Shino's arm.'' Specifically, his arm's ''skin.'' Shino seems to feel no pain from it (or has NervesOfSteel), but it's easier to watch his sword transformation than watch Murasame show up. It's implied that Murasame is a part of his arm now, until he becomes the crow/sword.
