History Manga / RinNe

* HairColors: Attention is drawn to Rinne's bright red hair.

Now has an Anime adaptation by Creator/BrainsBase that Creator/{{NHK}} began airing in the Spring2015Anime season and has been licensed by Creator/SentaiFilmworks for an American release. The series ran for three full seasons, ending in September, 2017.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Ageha sports these.

* YourCheatingHeart: Rokumon claims Rinne is doing this during his recollection of Sakura seeing Ageha hold Rinne's hand in episode 12, with the two girls entering a staring contest with each other. The narrator and Rinne both state that this is not what happened.

* {{Kotatsu}}: Ageha is tricked into buying one thinking it has LovePotion-like effects and will help her get closer to Rinne, but ironically enough, despite it having no such ability, the kotatsu does help all the main characters bond with each other.

** {{Averted}} so far, which is odd for a Takahashi series. Rinne is turning out to be a {{stoic}} with only mild jerkiness (very little of which is directed towards Sakura) and Sakura has yet to show the slightest [[{{Tsundere}} tsuntsun]]! In chapter 21, Rinne actually went speechless for a moment and inwardly admits that Sakura is cute! Later, Rinne is acting like a {{Kuudere}} (stoic and kuu- normally, but all deredere around Sakura), and Sakura is also a {{Kuudere}} for him, but her SelectiveObliviousness makes her InnocentlyInsensitive at times.

* CherryBlossomGirl: [[CaptainObvious Sakura]] Mamiya.

* EquivalentExchange: One weapon turns things into their cash value. [[YouFailEconomicsForever No idea how that works]]. It then puts them in a safe; it's never been stated where the money comes from. (If it came from Rinne's account, Sabato wouldn't have coughed up blood when the guy was paid for the beef.)

* CombatPragmatist: After being informed by Masato that he can't hurt him with sacred ashes, Jumonji throws him ''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny a trash can]]''. It works.

* MaamShock: It's a RunningGag for Tamako (Rinne's grandmother) to punish people for calling her "Oba-chan" or "Oba-san". She's also happy when Sakura comments on how young she looks. Which leads her to her CrowningMomentOfAwesome when she takes out a dozen damashigami girls with a single punch for calling her old.

The latest manga from the legendary Creator/RumikoTakahashi, begun April of 2009 in Magazine/ShonenSunday and licensed by Creator/VizMedia, who -- in a first for manga -- started releasing translated versions online at the same time that they came out in Japan (though the licensed online updates ended after the 2011 Tohoku region earthquake and tsunami). Par for the course with Takahashi, the series was a LongRunner, ending in December of 2017, over eight years after its debut.

* InvisibleParents: In general, parents are rarely seen neither in the manga nor the anime. Ageha and Tsubasa's parents are not seen in at any moment, even when they're in their homes. In fact, Sakura's father is not seen yet (although we can see her mother), despite she names him sometimes.

The star of ''RIN-NE'', known in Japan as ''Kyoukai no Rinne'' or "Rinne of the Boundary", is Sakura Mamiya, who has been [[ISeeDeadPeople able to see ghosts]] since an incident in her childhood. Now in HighSchool, she views them as more than a nuisance than anything. One day, Rinne Rokudo, a student who has been absent since the beginning of the year appears in class, strangely-dressed and visible only to Sakura -- yet after school, she [[CrashIntoHello finds him to be solid]], unlike any ghost she has seen. Turns out he's a half human, half shinigami (or a grim reaper) whose job is to ferry souls to the afterlife, of which Sakura winds up accidently going to. Luckily Rinne is able guide her back, but it's not the last time she'll be seeing him.

* AccidentalPervert: Twice in the same arc. [[spoiler:Chapter 100 continues an arc where Sakura has lost her ability to see ghosts, and just when a whole lot of them are after her for the A-1 Grand Prix. Tamako gives Rinne a gift of a doll that can take on the form of a given person, after achieving a strand of hair. The doll takes Sakura's form in order to redirect the ghosts to it, but Tsubasa thinks it's some kind of sex doll, and calls Rinne a pervert. Continuing from there, in chapter 101, Rinne, wearing his haori, slips into Sakura's room to check on her just as her mom is calling her for the bath. If the shinigami wasn't such a decent guy, he would've seen even more than he already had.]] This means that this is no longer the Rumiko Takahashi odd-one-out, in the respect that [[spoiler:we finally see some cleavage]]. Not counting the Nirvana House oneshot chapter.

** "Imoto": This character is a member of the horticulture club, and "imo" (芋) is a suffix used in the words for several types of root vegetables. [[spoiler:The name is also plot-relevant -- see below]]. [[note]]Note that this name is entirely unrelated to the word "''[[JapaneseSiblingTerminology imouto]]''".[[/note]]

* ArtShift: Page 6 of chapter 27 features some (in-story) drawings made by members of the art club. These have a distinctly different drawing style from Takahashi's usual style.

** In the anime, Sakura's mother has green eyes and hair, wears a yellow apron with brown stripes, and speaks with a slight accent. These character traits are reminiscent of Lum from ''Manga/UruseiYatsura''.[[note]]To hammer this home, at one point in the third season, Lum's mother actually says "dat'cha", Lum's VerbalTic.[[/note]]

* ComedicSociopathy: Averted, these characters are much nicer than those you'll find in most Rumiko Takahashi harem romantic comedies.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Unlike Creator/RumikoTakahashi's previous works, Ageha, Suzu, and Renge are very prone to suffering AmusingInjuries. Interestingly, Sakura remains relatively ImmuneToSlapstick.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Unlike other Creator/RumikoTakahashi's previous works, Ageha, Suzu, and Renge are very prone to suffering AmusingInjuries. Interestingly, Sakura remains relatively ImmuneToSlapstick.

* GhostLights: Common around the standard ghosts.
