** The Pusher, who’s widely regarded as the best hitman in the country, [[spoiler: is also HappilyMarried to his wife and has two children. His wife and children are part of the underworld scene too.]]

He’s also married to a loving wife, who runs a troupe of actors that will pay any role to execute scams; while their twin children [[spoiler: are psychics who have the power to generate ''earthquakes'', and are so powerful that they are able to ''charge by the second''. While the Pusher is the only member of the family who seems to kill directly, the others have absolutely no qualms about providing support, and also include cleaning up evidence as part of their service.]]
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It’s unclear whether Inukai’s ability to make and carry out his plans is yet another of the bevy of psychic powers being thrown around in the setting…or if he’s ''just that good'' at planning things out. Given that there is a whole host of characters with all kinds of different psychic powers, it’s likely. But Inukai’s ability isn’t infallible, and people can disrupt his plans if they try hard enough. Inukai himself doesn’t seem entirely sure whether it’s an actual power or not.

* DrivenToSuicide: Kujira forces his victims to look into his left eye, which prompts them to feel overwhelming guilt for any and all crimes they’ve committed, prompting them to commit suicide.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Ando’s arc and Junya’s arc both sport villains who are more direct and immediate threats; The Anderson Group in Ando’s arc, and Fraulein in Junya’s arc; but Inukai remains the overarching BigBad of the series, quietly orchestrating things behind the scenes to further his rise.

''Maoh: Juvenile Remix'' is a manga published in Shonen Sunday (the same people that licensed {{Flame of Recca}}.) The original story was written by Kotaro Isaka. The art and current story are done by Megumi Osuga.
The story takes place in a fictional Japanese city. Recently, the [[MegaCorp Anderson Group]] has moved into town and has been launching a bunch of big building projects. The only problem is that they're taking away a lot of the locals' jobs. To top it all off, there's quite a bit of gang violence in the city. But to the people's joy, someone steps up to the plate to stop them: Inukai. He and his vigilante group, Grasshopper, want to clean up the city and put an end to the Anderson group's tyranny once and for all.
You'd figure that the story would be about Inukai's exploits, right?
'''WRONG!!!'''
The story is about Ando, a high school student who has the power to make others say out loud what he’s thinking. Initially, he thinks that Inukai is really cool. When he thinks that Inukai is about to be attacked, he follows him and tries to help. It's then that he sees Grasshopper's dark side. He then notices that Grasshopper is easily manipulating the people of the city and changing his friends. When no one else will, Ando decides to take matters into his own hands.
