History Manga / TokimekiTonight

* ArcWords: If X dies, then I die. Especially during the more serious parts of the manga.

* OverprotectiveDad: Inverted; Mori is calm and rational in the face of Ranze crushing on a boy, while Sheera is the one trying to forbid their daughter from having relationships with humans.

* IllGirl: Narumi as a child.

* {{Shinigami}}: The first one that appears, named Georges, has to claim IllGirl Narumi's soul due to a heart failure. Rinze, who's fallen in love with her (at 5!), with the help of his sister convinces him not to do so and save the little girl. Later on, Georges becomes an ally of the Etos and a semi-regular character (and a bit of a goofball too).

* FurAgainstFang: Played with. Mori and Sheera clearly love each other, but they fight at the drop of a hat. Heck, the ''very first pages'' of the manga show Sheera flinging furniture and other stuff at her husband, and their kids treat it like a minor inconvinence than anything.

* FridgeBrilliance: Makabe pun of [[spoiler: Macabre, hinting his true nature.]]

* ButtMonkey: Mori, particularly when he is fighting with Shira. He can be very much aloof in some situations, but will come around to recognize anything serious when it concerns his daughter Ranze and her friends.

* GeckoEnding: The anime, [[EnforcedTrope since the manga only finished in 1994]]. In this one, [[spoiler: Shun turns out to be the long lost prince of the Demon World, but he denies it and says the birthmark proving this is merely a mole. The Etous are kicked out of the Demon World until they can bring the prince back. And when Ranze's about to personally talk to Shun, Yoko interrupts... and the story ends there.]]

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Sheera.

* SneezeCut : episode 12 SantaClaus does this.

* MonsterMash: What the Magic world appears to be. It is divided into tribes of various species such as vampires, werewolves, [[WitchSpecies witches]] and so on.

* FurAgainstFang: Played with. Mori and Sheera clearly love each other, but they fight at the drop of a hat. Heck, the ''very first pages'' of the manga show Sheera flinging furniture and other stuff at her husband!

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: As stated above, Ranze can change herself into anyone (and any''thing'') she has bitten.

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Rinze, who is probably the most sane person in her family.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Ranze.

%%* SmallAnnoyingCreature: Pek the parrot.

''Tokimeki Tonight'' (ときめきトゥナイト, lit. ''Heart-Throbbing Tonight'') is a {{shojo}} manga series by Koi Ikeno which ran in Ribon magazine from 1982 to 1994, with 30 volumes. The plotline spans 3 generations of the Etou family. Years after the original manga was published, a reimaging of the series called ''Tokimeki Midnight'' was published in the magazine Cookie Box with 9 volumes.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmxkoaPW23w The anime ending sequence]] gets away with Ranze being completely nude save for a vampire-like cape (probably thanks to the BarbieDollAnatomy) ''and'' with having a song that screams "IntercourseWithYou". And this is an anime from TheEighties!

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Rinze, who is probably the most sane person in his family.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Prince Aaron and Kunihiko, whose advances have been rejected by Ranze.

* Bookworm: The preppy nerd classmate at Ranze's school, Kunihiko Takaba (nicknamed "Shuusai", the Japanese equivalent of the trope) who has a crush on Ranze and spends most of his time on books and dislikes athletics on principle.

* Butt Monkey: Mori, particularly when he is fighting with Shira. He can be very much aloof in some situations, but will come around to recognize anything serious when it concerns his daughter Ranze and her friends.

The manga was adapted by Toho, with Group TAC as animation studio, into an anime that ran at 34 episodes on Creator/NipponTelevision from October 7, 1982 to September 22, 1983 and was directed by Creator/TatsunokoProduction veteran Hiroshi Sasagawa, famous for ''[[Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman Gatchaman]]'' and the ''Anime/TimeBokan'' series.

On her first day of school, Ranze meets a handsome guy named Shun Makabe. The chief problem with this is that [[ParentalMarriageVeto Ranze's parents will not allow her to date a human]] (and in fact have already arranged a marriage for her with a boy in the demon kingdom) - although there may be much more to Shun than meets the eye. On top of this, Ranze also has a bitter {{rival}} in the pretty but spiteful Yoko Kamiya, the [[YakuzaPrincess daughter of a yakuza boss]], who is also in love with Shun (and has been for a while) and doesn't take kindly to Ranze intruding on her turf.
