History Manga / UmiNoMisaki

* CatSmile: Kisaragi, on occasion.

** [[spoiler:This is all but stated to be the result of all four(as well as a few side characters) being [[ReincarnationRomance re-incarnates with extensive experience with each other]], and therefore are as focused on the emotional connection as most would be the physical. Though the girls are much more comfortable with teasing Nagi with peeks at their bodies than most would be.]]

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: The Maidens must act prim and mostly proper, within reason of their element and role in society. Thus Shizuku restricted herself completely. Soyogi was a close second. Karin interacted with people on a daily basis and helped with farming but never became overly friendly with them. There was always a line no islander would pass over.

* TriangRelations: A type 7 LoveTriangle. Or is that [[LoveDodecahedron love square . . . ?]]
** Considering the female classmate (Shizue) who's got a crush on Soyogi, Mike whispering to Nagi that she's available, and Kisaragi threatening to seduce him herself if the Maidens make her mad we're well beyond squares. Possibly stars.
*** As of 100 chapters it's an octagon featuring Nagi as the only male character. And thanks to the last revelation it might really become a mess.

** While certainly possible, the girls have made it clear in no uncertain terms that they consider themselves in competition and aren't interested in sharing. In addition, Nagi himself has shown conflicting feelings about liking all three of them. Shizuku however, tells Nagi: "If you fool around with anyone but us, I won't forgive you.", implying "Marry Them All" is indeed quite possible. [[spoiler:Assuming one of them doesn't kill him in the Rising Dragon Festival. If favor is linked to the Rising Dragon Festival, then this may have lead to a KillEmAll ending. In the end Nagi said ScrewDestiny and did MarryThemAll.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Many people exhibit this trope, with Shizuku and Soyogi being literal examples.

See also ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi'' by the same author.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: One of their classmates, Shizue, shows signs of having a strong crush on Soyogi, who isn't interested and thinks the girl is only joking, anyway. Despite the fact that the classmate regularly cooks for her (at least once hurrying to Soyogi's place to welcome her home in a HadakaApron), including bento lunches which she [[ThroughHisStomach tries to feed her]], and even dropped to her knees to fondle Soyogi and nuzzle her belly the one time Soyogi let her share the bath. Joking. Yeah, right.

** Chapter 100 - [[spoiler: Implies that Nagi and Rinne might become a couple]] Also a Cliffhanger.

** According to Karin warning, if Nagi choses Shizuku at Dragon God festival [[spoiler:he might be killed by her]]

*** He is also becomes more and more comfortable becoming physical with the girls. He starts off being nervous just kissing, to kissing the girls whenever he felt ready with no fear, to [[spoiler:''attempting'' to have sex.]]

** Ultimately subverted by way of the 'Marry Them All' ending. And yes, th8s includes Rinne.

* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy[=/=]DreamingOfThingsToCome: [[spoiler: Rinne has dreams of a previous Rising Dragon Festival, and in recent chapters, of drowning. She also has a pathological fear of the ocean. [[AFeteWorseThanDeath Make what you want out of it]].]]

* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy[=/=]DreamingOfThingsToCome: [[spoiler: Rinne has dreams of a previous Rising Dragon Festival, and in recent chapters, of drowning. She also has a pathological fear of the ocean. [[FateWorseThanDeath Make what you want out of it]].]]

* AFateWorseThanDeath: Suspected by Nagi at the start, but quickly discovered to be incorrect.

* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy[=/=]DreamingOfThingsToCome: [[spoiler: Rinne has dreams of a previous Rising Dragon Festival, and in recent chapters, of drowning. She also has a pathological fear of the ocean. [[FeteWorseThanDeath Make what you want out of it]].]]

* AFeteWorseThanDeath: Suspected by Nagi at the start, but quickly discovered to be incorrect.

* AGodIsYou: Nagi, although he doesn't have any magical powers, and isn't too sure what to do with his position. He has indirect social power over the island through the Maidens; they're highly-regarded figures whose lead the islanders tend to follow, and as he helps the Maidens [[DefrostingIceQueen defrost]] and [[BeYourself grow more confident in themselves]], those changes are going to influence the islanders.

* SexAsRiteOfPassage: The whole point of Nagi's favour, for those who haven't figured it out yet, though it takes over 90 chapters to get there [[spoiler: Nagi and Soyoko probably do it in Chapter 91, Shizuku and Nagi DO do it in chapter 96. As do Karin and Nagi in chapter 112.]]

* {{Reincarnation}}: Nagi, as part of AGodAmI. [[spoiler:Rinne was a Cape Maiden of the Ocean and the previous Dragon God's lover.]]

* GagPenis: Nagi, apparently. Karin's reaction on discovering this is a strong candidate for CrowningMomentOfFunny. Soyogi may have failed her SexAsRiteOfPassage because of it.

* PersonalityPowers: The Cape Maidens. Relatively subtle, in that their powers are more extreme aptitudes than actual supernatural abilities. Maiden of the Sea Shizuku takes to the water so well that she may as well be a porpoise in human form. Maiden of Fire Karin is an extremely social FieryRedhead who helps tirelessly with the farm work of the island and tends to the people, much as the sun helps the crops grow. Maiden of Wind Soyogi has an uncanny sense of the weather, while holding herself as distant from others as the weather patterns she can predict.

* FanService: The Maidens each desire Nagi's attention, and aren't afraid to show some skin to get it. They also each tend to offer their own "variety" of fanservice: Shizuku gets a lot of bathing suits and wet dresses; Karin gets a lot of very tight clothing, and gets caught naked or nearly so to fuel Nagi's AccidentalPervert moments; while Soyogi's is [[FetishFuel more psychological]], being rather {{Tsundere}} and ''very'' forward when it comes to pursuing Nagi... and is also quite well-built and favors frilly underwear, which doesn't hurt.

* [[spoiler: APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy: Near end of story, Nagi is told to go to the temple where Maidens will wait for him. The resulting ceremony quickly turns into an orgy thanks to an aphrodisiac, and it's not until after that Nagi learns that the orgy was the whole point.]]

* [[spoiler:IkeaErotica]]: [[spoiler:when Shizuku asks Nagi: "I ask of you to have sexual intercourse with me in this place". Less so when it comes to actual sex.]]

* [[spoiler: IKnewIt]]: [[spoiler: InUniverse example, Rinne knew Nagi was the Dragon God when she first met him all those chapters ago.]]

** [[spoiler: Chapter 100 - Implies that Nagi and Rinne might become a couple]] Also a Cliffhanger.
** Chapter 104. Readers see part of the Maidens' training for the Rising Dragon Fesitval since a young age of seven or eight. [[spoiler:The Festival is a MurderSuicide with the maiden killing the Dragon God so his soul can return to heaven.]]

* {{Sex As Rite-Of-Passage}}: The whole point of Nagi's favour, for those who haven't figured it out yet, though it takes over 90 chapters to get there [[spoiler: Nagi and Soyoko probably do it in Chapter 91, Shizuku and Nagi DO do it in chapter 96. As do Karin and Nagi in chapter 112.]]

* GagPenis: Nagi, apparently. Karin's reaction on discovering this is a strong candidate for CrowningMomentOfFunny. Soyogi may have failed her SexAsARiteOfPassage because of it.

* ArtEvolution: In particular, over the couple months of the first 12 volumes, Nagi goes from a short-haired young man to a boyish character design with a DragonBall hairstyle.

* SandBridgeAtLowTide: Okuhime island, which is joined to Okitsu for only a few days a year.

* JapaneseHonorifics: Soyogi uses Goto-kun, Shizuku uses Nagi-kun, and Karin just calls him Nagi, which is a pretty good indication of the relative formality in their relationships. This is after Nagi practically begs them to stop addressing him as "Nagi-sama". In return, Nagi (usually) addresses them as Soyogi-san, Shizuku-chan, and Karin,
