History Manga / Rinne

* InvisibleParents: In general, parents are rarely seen either in the manga as 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 (albeirt we can see her mother), despite she names him sometimes.

* {{Delinquents}}:
** Rinne ''appears'' to be one.
** Chapter 52 introduces a ghost who was evidently a ''sukeban'' during her lifetime.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Well, Tsubasa's not ''evil'', but no matter how much he hates Rinne and yearns for Sakura's affection, he'd never go so far as to make a DealWithTheDevil (literally, with Masato) and curse Rinne... Too bad circumstances keep leading him to keep doing so anyway, much to his horror.

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

* EnemyMine: Masato attempts to do this with Tsubasa in episode 17, using their mutual hatred of Rinne to take him down. However, Tsubasa refuses to work with a demon, and attacks him instead. Unfortunately Masato is also DangerouslyGenreSavvy, and gives Tsubasa a cursed tome which causes him to accidentally curse Rinne anyway.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Though Tsubasa doesn't like Rinne, he wouldn't stoop so low as to team up with a demon. Unfortunately Masato is DangerouslyGenreSavvy, and manages to give him a cursed tome that unintentionally causes Tsubasa to help him take Rinne down anyway.

* XanatosGambit: Sabato tries repeatedly to screw Rinne over in episode 11. First he uses his wheel weapon which turns anything that touches it into cash, such as Rinne's scythe. Later he repeatedly tries to get Rinne's fingerprints one way or another so he can forge more loans and load Rinne up on even more debt. Fortunately Rinne is GenreSavvy enough to realize his father's plan, and doesn't fall for any of them despite his repeated attempts.

** "Kaori Himekawa" is a reincarnated "Hime". [[spoiler:But not really. The name was probably meant to fool readers.]] Himekawa can mean "river princess". Given what she's actually reincarnated from, this name actually is both {{meaningful|Name}}]] and {{hilarious|InHindsight}}.

** His father Sabato plays it straight though, being so money-grubbing as to steal from his son's account, steal from his son's ''piggy bank'' (which had the money Rinne wanted to use to visit his mother), use a weapon that converts whatever it touches into cash, and ''[[BloodFromTheMouth vomit blood]]'' when he gets tricked into actually ''paying'' for something]].

* CastingGag: Sabato Rokudo, Rinne's dad, is voiced by YamaguchiKappei, the guy who voiced [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma]] and [[InuYasha Inuyasha]], main characters of Takahashi's previous two big series.

** In the anime, Sakura's mother has green eyes and wears a yellow apron with brown stripes, and speaks with a slight accent. These character traits are reminiscent of [[UruseiYatsura Lum]].

Now has an Anime adaptation by Creator/BrainsBase that began airing in the Spring2015Anime season and has been licensed by Creator/SentaiFilmworks for an American release.

* SeriousBusiness: Rinne not paying for entry into the Hell building prompts a large security guard demon to come chasing after him, breaking through the wall in the process.

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Rinne's father tells him to join him in the afterworld and come work for him as a damashigami. Rinne refuses, but his father says he'll come one way or another.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: This is the basic structure so far, starting with the Kaori Himekawa arc. Most cases take two or three chapters to solve, suggesting that they'll come out to an episode each in the inevitable anime. Most of the exceptions so far have been character introduction arcs, like the Reiji Todoriki arc (Masato's debut). Rinne's father will be the main villain in two consecutive arcs. In Kain's arc, he's a minor villain. Sabato is the one behind everything, unsurprisingly.

* DeadlyDeferredDiscussion: One ghost was a CuteSportsClubManager for a baseball team. The captain of the team said he had something to tell her, right after the team wins this game. But they don't win, so he puts it off, and the team goes into a long slump. Finally, the team wins and the girl is so excited by the win and the captain at last completing the conversation that she leaps up and smashed her head on the dugout ceiling. She died, and the ghost has been holding out ever since waiting to hear what he had to say.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Every time that Rinne gets in a compromising position with a girl (most often Ageha, although it also happened once with a one-shot character), he'll be quick to distance himself and inform Sakura that it's not what she thinks. Tsubasa also accuses him of this in episode 10 after a group of girls in his father's mansion swamp him, wanting to marry him.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Ageha

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Masato's plan to get Rinne into Debt Hell backfires after Rinne uses his forged money as a weapon instead of using it in the demon shopping floor. Then when the guards ask Rinne who forged the money, he claims he doesn't know, and tells them his "friend" Masato will pay for the damages. He briefly reconsiders it when the guards tell him they'll drop the other charges if he reveals who forged the money, but Masato immediately agrees to pay.

* CliffHanger: Episode 7 ends on one, with Masato escaping into Hell with Reiji's spirit while Rinne chases after him.

** One of Rinne's grandmother's conditions for extending the life of his grandfather was that she was to collect a large number of spirits. If she failed to do so, her grandson would be responsible for it. Since that's exactly what Rinne is doing, it's easy to see she failed to do her part. [[spoiler: Or so you think...)]]
