Luckily, Heaven seems to think so too: upon dying he meets an angel called Elle who immediately [[DeathIsCheap resurrects him]]. Elle explains that [[DisappearedDad Takeshi's father]] had passed down his role to his son -- essentially, Takeshi is now [[BlessedWithSuck the holder of all the bad luck in the world]], and Elle was sent to become his guardian angel. [[SarcasmMode Whoop-dee-doo]].

* HornyDevils: Isra explains that demons draw nourishment from humans by draining their "genki". It's never explicitly stated what "genki" refers to, but it's heavily implied to be sexual energy or the like since the humans are rendered naked after being fed on and both Elle and Isra become flustered when Takeshi asks them what genki is.

Added DiffLines:

* HarshWordImpact: A rather squicky version of this happens in chapter 10. After Takeshi and his male classmates conspire to peep on the girls during their physical exam, Elle (who's oblivious to these plans), cutely tells Takeshi that she's embarrassed about the prospect of her breasts being seen. The force of her speech bubble momentarily ''slices Takeshi in half'', and his innards are visible.

* CerebusSyndrome
* ContinuityCreep

to:

* CerebusSyndrome
CerebusSyndrome: The first 20-odd chapters are a pretty normal for a supernatural romantic comedy. When Isra appears, though, things start getting dark ''REALLY'' fast.
* ContinuityCreepCharacterizationMarchesOn: At first, there appears to be no special significance to [[spoiler: Isra's crown]], and she's shown putting it on nonchalantly in her first appearance. [[spoiler: Later, it turns out that the crown is a PowerLimiter placed on her by her mother, and that removing it from her head is a very bad thing.]]
* ContinuityCreep: This sets in around the same time as the CerebusSyndrome, switching from a more episodic format to an ongoing story.


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoHarmless: Isra is at first portrayed as a StarterVillain, and is driven off by Elle with relative ease. Much later, however... [[spoiler: it turns out that she's powerful enough to bring about the end times. And nearly does]].
