%%* DownTheRabbitHole
* {{Ecchi}}: To the point of being almost borderline hentai at times. It's to the point a human and a youkai kissing "with their lower mouths" is a plot point.
* EmergencyTransformation: PlayedWith and {{Subverted}} in the final arc. [[spoiler:Arare tries to become a Youkai while in the human world [[InsaneTrollLogic so that she'll become deathly ill so that Kiri, who's currently dying from being in the human world herself, will save her as she always does, saving herself in the process.]] Kiri immediately points out that it makes no sense.]]

Arare panics, offering to go all the way with her and become a nekomata so that Kiri will save her, thus letting her save Kiri. Kiri bluntly refuses and calls her out on not thinking straight.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: Arare hooks up with Kiri the ''nekomata'', though their romance has some rough patches due to Arare being InnocentlyInsensitive.
* LetsGetDangerous: Up until the final arc, [[BoobBasedGag Harami was mostly the butt of jokes regarding her titanic breasts]]. During the climax, however, [[spoiler: we're reminded that, as a kudan, she's actually one of the most powerful youkai in the school, and her prophetic abilities and power to cross to and from the human world at will become key to saving everyone's lives.]]

Arare, being a total ditz, is completely clueless as to why Kiri is SuddenlyShouting and angry at her.
* PreClimaxClimax: Terrified by the possibility of Akina spilling her secret and thus being raped and forcibly transformed into a yokai, Arare offers herself to Kiri the nekomata in Chapter 11... but Kiri is hurt to discover that Arare only made the offer out of fear and cuts their lovemaking short before they go all the way.

Additionally, many of the other yokai girls express the willingness to force themselves on any human women they encounter.
