Valkyries
Yuuki
Yuuki
Yuuki was once a male magical girl fan. Thanks to Hermod's magic, Yuuki is now a female magical girl fan who transforms into a magical girl herself. Yuuki is the new valkyrie and is charged with protecting Midgard and Asgard from the forces of the fire giant Surt.
- Action Girl: Whenever he fights, he is technically a "she" during said fight.
- Ascended Fanboy: Parodied and deconstructed; despite being a Magical Girl fan, Yuuki isn't really happy to have been forcefully turned into a woman and hired as a Valkyrie.
- Attractive Bent-Gender: Their is no such thing as an ugly Valkyrie after all. Somewhat justified since he wasn't an ugly boy to begin with, so it only makes sense she'd be such an attractive girl
- Blood Knight: When sufficiently provoked, Yuuki will mercilessly beat down people who annoy him and gets rather cross when they block or dodge his blows, and no, he does not let them retreat if he can help it.
- Chick Magnet: Chiaki, Taki, Loki, Freya... the scary thing is, he seems to attract even more girls since his genderbent.
- Combat Pragmatist: He's not above doing some morally questionable things, like using human shields. Then again, that "shield" was trying to kill him first.
- Combat Tentacles: Of ribbon
- Expository Hairstyle Change: Here
- Fastball Special: Yuuki throws Hermod at a pair of eternally hungry wolves at one point. Hermod had it coming.
- First Law of Gender Bending: Hermod tells Yuuki he can't undo the gender bending.
- Foreshadowing: Yuuki's rather squick-y costume manipulation involving the ribbon.
- Gender Bender: Well, Yeah.
- First Law of Gender Bending: Yuuki wasn't happy when Hermod admitted he couldn't undo the Bender.
- Second Law of Gender-Bending: Fighting against it, but, well... this trope exists for a reason. Not helped by the fact that in and out of universe people tend flip-flop on which pronoun to use when referring to him, to the point that Yuuki herself is beginning to get mixed up.
- Gender-Blender Name: The Japanese name Yuuki can be given to both boys and girls.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Well, more like I just want to be a guy again, but still.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: In-Universe, he's the first valkyrie ever to realize he's nowhere near ready to fight Freya. She hates him for it, and wants him dead.
- Magical Girl: Of the Magical Girl Warrior variety.
- Man, I Feel Like a Woman: And takes it to its logical conclusion.
- Meaningful Name: Yuuki means "Courage".
- Minor Living Alone: Yuuki does not know his mother, and his father's always "away on business."
- Nosebleed: Combined with High-Pressure Blood when Shebi holds him just a little too close, after having her armor stripped.
- The Nudifier: Yuuki's combat ribbons have the ability to strip the armor from any Valkyrie that comes after him, with the possible exception of Freya. This inevitably leaves the Valkyrie in question both an ordinary mortal and as naked as the day she was born.
- Outside-Context Problem: Yuki displays a series of powers that no other Valkyrie, not even Freyja has ever possessed.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Come on, he's a Magical Girl. Of course they're going to expose his face at all times.
- Parental Abandonment: Yuuki does not know who his mother is, and his father is rarely in his life.
- Power Makes Your Hair Grow: His alter-ego, overlapping with Long Hair Is Feminine. As per the usual case of the trope, it goes back to normal after he powers down. Except for that one time.
- Power Parasite: Yuuki is able to steal power from Otsana and Shebi
- Power Perversion Potential: He seems... very satisfied to absorb others' armor.
- Rage Breaking Point: After realizing how much of a dick he was to Chiaki and Loki chooses a very poor time to, erm, violate his personal space, Yuuki throttles him.
- He eventually loses it when, after forcefully turning him into a girl, ordering him to fight monsters, and providing him a Training from Hell, his Aesir "friends" try to kill him because they think he is a monster.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Yuuki does this in the chapter Game Changer in a way reminiscent of a Split-Personality Takeover. Or indeed in a way reminiscent to Freya's eyes when she was trying to kill Yuuki directly.
- Refusal of the Call: He outright told Freya he wasn't interested in being a Valkyrie and was willing to give the gem back. Too bad you can't remove it without killing yourself.
- Resigned to the Call: After Freya and Odin made crystal clear that the only way to stop being the Valkyrie chosen by Hnoss is death, at least as far as Odin knows (Freya doesn't care), Yuuki has given up all resistance and resigned herself to Training from Hell to stand a chance of dealing with the coming Ragnarok, not to mention the murderous Freya.
- Skewed Priorities: In the second chapter, when two wolves cursed to eat everything in sight and never get their fill come to his house, he's completely unconcerned, no mention of family, friends, or even the fate of Tokyo moved him, until he realized his magical-girl collection was in danger, that's when he decides it's time to Let's Get Dangerous!.
- The So-Called Coward: Freya openly calls him a coward and tries to kill him because he wasn't willing to foolishly throw himself into a fight with someone who easily destroyed the frost giant he was struggling against, as part of his training.
- Super Gender-Bender: Even provide the trope picture.
- Thong of Shielding: Yuuki mentions wearing a thong in the first instance his skirt rode upwards as a result of his combat actions.
- Tongue Trauma: Deconstructed. When one of the wolf pair tries to bite off Yuuki's head, she grabs its tongue, with the predictable results. Still this did allow Yuuki to force feed it some pills that appear to be appetite suppressants, allowing for the wolf's defeat. (The other wolf was stupid enough to eat the pills willingly.)
- Weak, but Skilled: Yuuki continually impresses Thor and Hermod by quickly mastering abilities other Valkries never even knew they had, but since everyone else s/he fights is either a legendary hero, a mythological monster, part-god, or some combination thereof, s/he's always outclassed in terms of strength. Lampshaded by Yuuki. "Why is everybody I meet stronger than me!?" indeed.
- Wholesome Crossdresser: He even admits to the fact of having costumes. In a Flashback, it fools almost everyone except a young Chiaki.
- Winged Humanoid: Once (s)he is able to summon Valkyrie wings.
- With Friends Like These...: Every one that Odin's sent to "help" has wound up trying to harm or kill him, with the possible exception of Freyr. This is after Hermond magically transformed him into a Valkyrie without even asking for consent, and then didn't bother to explain anything.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: In the first chapters, he has a bad habit to think he is in an actual Magical Girl story.
Freya
Freya
"Melon patch."
The Goddess of War and Beauty, and leader of all Valkyries and is the first and most powerful of The Valkyries. She has conflicting feelings towards Yuuki, wanting to kill Yuuki for being a weak Valkyrie, yet desiring to engage in a physical relationship with her. Although Loki thwarted her initial attempts to the former, Freya has since resurrected two Valkyries from ancient times to find Yuuki.
- Adaptational Villainy: She is a good guy, but this version of her puts a lot more focus on her aspect as a war goddess than her fertility and love aspect.
- Action Girl: She led an entire faction of them.
- Authority Equals Asskicking: The leader of the Walkyries and the most powerful amongst them.
- Ax-Crazy: Yuuki calls her a "psycho bitch".Freyr: DON'T CALL...!Odin: She's a psycho bitch. Freya... don't pay her too much mind, because she has clearly lost hers.
- Black Comedy Rape: Ah Freya. Ripping off Yuki's clothing and putting a finger up his/her skirt.
- Depraved Bisexual: As Loki points out, she has numerous children, from numerous husbands, and her introduction has her strip off Yuki's armor and start fondling Yuuki's breasts in a clearly depraved manner, possibly up to and including lesbian rape, if the shards of Yuuki's armor didn't have other ideas.
- Daddy's Girl: Inverted; see above under Ax-Crazy. Odin has no patience for her.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Which Loki gladfully exploited to trick her.
- Most Common Superpower: Most female characters in this webcomic have this, but she takes it up to eleven.
- Stripperiffic: Oh gosh... she hardly even wears anything to hide her panties.
- War God: One of only three norse wargods, because the Norse were kinda like that.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: She is attempting to save the Eight Realms by recruiting powerful Valkyries. The problem is: she is willing to kill those she considers "cowardly," and that includes Yuuki.
- You Have Failed Me: Threatened Otsana and Sheby with this. And very thinly implies this with Fuyuko as well.
Former Valkyries
Otsana
Otsana
Barbaric, yet somehow elegant.
An ancient berserker who was the Valkyrie for a time. She still has most of her powers, and serves at Freya's pleasure.
- All There in the Manual: She and Shebi get backstory in a hard to find bonus comic◊.
- Animal Motifs: The Wolf since she is a Berserker.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: She demanded that Yuuki release her, and he did, by stripping off her armor and dropping her to the ground, buck naked.
- The Berserker: Since she is from The Days of Berserkers and "High Adventures," which would also explain her wolf motif.
- Damn You, Muscle Memory!: When she tries her hand at making accessories, regardless of her intent, she winds up with a spear-head in her hand. She apparently used to craft them so often back in the day, that she does it on auto-pilot, to her chagrin.
- Fur Bikini: Justified since she is a Berserker
- Male Gaze: Lampshaded in a strip where Otsana is wearing only a large t-shirt while ordering around their "host", all the frames from his perspective go up to her shoulders.
- Pretty Freeloader: Played completely straight. Though it's not entirely her fault as her long, long service under Freya, locked away in some kind of inter-dimensional limbo, and coming from an ancient hunter-gatherer culture, has left her with basically no marketable skills in modern society. The closest she can come to doing anything productive is fashioning spear/arrow heads as jewelry.
Shebi
Shebi
Norse + Egypt = Awesome
A Valkyrie from Ancient Egypt, who retained most of her powers and remained loyal to Freya.
- Ambiguously Brown: Apparently Egyptian.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Gets confused that her nudity disturbs people. Explained by Loki that, as an ancient Egyptian, she would have spent much of her time naked before becoming a valkyrie.
- Marshmallow Hell: Here(Warning NSFW)
- Nice Girl: Compared to Otsana she's much more levelheaded and understanding to people. She even hugs Yuuki after realizing he was duped into the Valkyrie business - that was right after trying to kill him and Yuuki stealing her armor.
- Pretty Freeloader: Surprisingly subverted. Despite her "score beer and chicks" attitude, chapter 14.9 reveals that her "rent" is cooking and cleaning for the Haruki household, which Fuyuko points out is a valid form of payment.
Fuyuko
Fuyuko
Ah! It's so great to be back!
A Valkyrie, presumably from ancient Japan, kept in a distant dimension by her duties to Freya until Freya summoned her to go after Yuuki, despite Odin's wishes. Fuyuko is more scared of Freya's wrath than Odin's justice.
- An Ice Person: According to the cover of Issue 14, she apparently has ice or snow powers.
- Animal Motif: She's associated with doves.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: Upon returning to Earth she dons a yukata, expecting that to be "normal" wear. She's shocked at the displays of "western" clothing in stores.
- Establishing Character Moment: Fuyuko is pragmatic. Upon being summoned by Freya and tasked with killing Yuuki, the current bearer of the Jewel Hnoss, she pretends to comply to avoid direct confrontation, possibly fatal, with Freya, but when she finally arrives in Tokyo and meets up with Otsana and Shebi, and they give a straight report of the current situation, she knows this is a fool's errand and decides to ignore Freya's order and make the best of her time before the end.
- Harmless Freezing: The cover of issue 14 has Yuuki locked up in a giant block of ice, presumably at Fuyuko's hands.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Having a fashion sense that's centuries out of date, she is completely unaware of the effect her "casual" clothing has on poor Haruki. Shebi and Otsana do, and they are clearly not pleased.
- Like a Duck Takes to Water: Despite being locked in temporal limbo by Freya away from Japan for centuries, she masters on-line auction companies, and makes a very lucrative clothing/accessories business as a result, thus acclimating to modern Japan in a hurry, while Shebi and Otsana are so badly maladjusted that they wound up panhandling on the street when she encountered them.
- Locked Out of the Loop: She doesn't know the full story of what's going on between Freya and Yuuki, just that two former Valkyries are panhandling in the middle of the street. Naturally, they only have nasty things to say regarding Yuuki.
- Mark of the Supernatural: As a hint of her supernatural abilities, she has purple eyes.
- Morton's Fork: Either she obeys Freya and winds up offending the rest of the Aesir, not to mention getting stripped by Yuuki, or honors Odin's wishes and faces Freya's wrath. She chooses neither, and goes with Otsana and Shebi to score some beer and chicks.
- Secretly Wealthy: She's loaded, as is revealed in chapter 14.9. She gives Haruki her rental payment, in cash, (although she did offer alternate forms of payment as well). Turns out she somehow has a very lucrative clothing and accessories crafting industry, despite not being in Japan for centuries.
- Skewed Priorities: She's far more interested in beer and chicks than finding out why Freya's targeting Yuuki.
Norse Gods
Hermod
Hermod
"So let's get this show on the road and kick some giant ass!"
Hermod is the god of messengers in the Norse pantheon. He sides with the Aesir, which is led by Odin. Hermod was sent to Midgard (the mortal realm) to find the new valkyrie. He decided that disguising himself as a magical girl DVD was the best way to find one.
- Forced Transformation: Courtesy of Loki, he is forced to assume the form of a cat-like pet. Possibly a marmoset.
- Ironic Hell: Hermod is shown in chapter 14 being stuck in a voice-mail automated menu.
- Noodle Incident: Hermod apparently did something that Odin thinks is even dumber than the whole "exclusive magical girl dvd" incident. All we know for sure is that it apparently involved an oak tree.
- Sink or Swim Mentor: His idea of "training" Yuuki is just to throw him at monsters, without explanation, and then letting the poor boy figure it out on his own. Odin calls him out on this.
Loki
Loki
"Gods, you're such idiots."
Loki was a Jotun (or Ice Giant) who was found by Odin and his brothers. Despite their hatred of the Jotun, they thought he was awesome, so Odin made Loki a blood brother, thus making him one of the Aesir. Currently Loki is chained under the earth with a snake dripping poison into his eyes because of the whole Balder incident. Loki's whole take on the incident was the that "the little snot had it coming to him." This defense didn't help him. Loki is able to project himself into the body of a stuffed white cat, so he is able once again wander Midgard. The knife he carries is for "little children and dogs that have the stones to pick [him] up."
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: He does this once - "Excuse me, but for the sake of the viewers, can we make this battle not last 50 billion pages like the wolves battle?"
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He may looks like a mere pervert stuffed animal who acts goofy all the time, but he is able to match FREYA in a fight.
- Dirty Old Man: He is one of the oldest beings in the universe, and yet one of the biggest perverts ever. According to himself, however, he looks quite handsome in his real form.
- Hazy-Feel Turn: He goes from being openly antagonistic against Yuuki to being... less openly antagonistic. He's been shown spying on Yuuki on behalf of Surtr, openly defending Yuuki from Freya, to then distract Freya by reminding her that Yuuki is her target so he can escape. All this just barely scratches the surface of his machinations.Loki:"He did WHAT? Man, shit's moving faster than I thought!"
- Kid with the Leash: Subverted - it may look like this to a Gunnerkrigg Court reader because Loki can only manifest through a stuffed kitty that Yuuki owns, but Yuuki doesn't really have any control over him.
- Killer Rabbit: A facet of the above - the doll may seem harmless, but it's still Loki...
- Mister Seahorse: In a nod to the original legends, Slepnir always calls Loki 'Mommy', much to the Trickster God's embarrassment.
- The Mole: When he's not antagonizing Norse gods, or perving out around Yuuki, he's feeding intel to Surt.
- Perverse Puppet: He is trapped in a stuffed animal (kinda). He's not really a villain after his first appearance, though.
- Troll: Being Loki this is a given. He tends to go out of his way to piss off anyone as long as it amuses him.
Odin
Odin
"Thor, really."
The King of The Norse Gods.
- Big Good: Presumably. Unfortunately, he has no idea to undo what Hermod has done, and can't fix Yuuki immediately.
- The Dreaded: That and being a Reasonable Authority Figure is enough to kill an escalating battle between Yuuki, Thor, Otsana and Shebi.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gave a much deserved one to Hermond for what the latter did, and failed to do, regarding Yuuki.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Calls Hermod out on not explaining things to Yuuki properly and tries to help, and all without ever raising his voice. Once he speaks personally to Yuuki he is very understanding of his situation and convinces him to help without resorting to force or threats at all.
- Stealth Mentor: He sent the Auroch, Slepnir, and his ravens after Yuuki as tests.
- War God: Like Freya, war is among his domains.
Thor
Thor
"Lightning. FUCK YEAH!"
Thor is an easy going sort who enjoys a good fight and loves to party. He used to hang out with Loki back in the day, but the whole "Balder incident" puts a damper on that. Though with Loki's current freedom, that may change.
- Boisterous Bruiser: As with most depictions of Thor.
- Did Not Think This Through: Several times. The first is when he makes a bet against a construction company regarding a repair/upgrade on Yuuki's house to accommodate him, Hermond, and Loki. This one could be justified by not being aware of modern construction equipment. The other more prominent example is when fighting a thoroughly, and rightly pissed-off Yuuki to stop him from absorbing Shebi's armor. He was doing well, for a while, but ends up throwing Yuuki at Shebi. It goes just like you'd expect.
- Establishing Character Moment: When he's introduced Thor is polite and calmly asks about Yuuki's whereabouts. Once he finds him Thor starts his job of training Yuuki immediately... By launching a surprise attack and wrecking a cafe table.
- Fun T-Shirt: His says "Lightning! FUCK YEAH!"
- Gender Bender: Not in the comic itself, but he references an event from Norse mythology.Thor: Loki said I was cute...
Freyr: Loki sleeps with monsters, Thor. - Lightning Bruiser: The guy is pretty beefy, but make no mistake: he is fast and can jump a stupidly long distance as well.
- Made of Iron: Yuuki once threw him on a wall - literally - hard enough to crack it and Thor reacted more like if he was simply shoved aside.
- Training from Hell: He subjects Yuuki to this.
- Shipper on Deck: Ships Yuuki/Chiaki.
- Sir Swears Alot: His dialogue is peppered with profanity. Even his T-shirt says "Lightning! FUCK YEAH!"
- Super Mode: Seems to enter one when he's about to fight seriously.
Freyr
Freyr
Freyr is the Norse god of mead, fertility and hospitality. He's Freya's twin brother but also her complete opposite, which is why he opts for giving Yuuki a chance to become stronger. He allows Yuuki to stay in Alfheim where s/he can finish his/her training.
- Another Dimension: The door of the Golden Boar restaurant doubles as gate to Freyr's personal extra-dimensional palace, Alfheim, depending on which way he turns the key in the lock.
- Berserk Button: Don't you dare calling Yuuki a monster to his face. Just don't.
- Brother–Sister Incest: With Freya.
- Mr. Exposition: Explains why only Yuuki can fight Surt (Yuuki is the holder of Hnoss).
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Is blonde, and one of the few Norse who has not given Yuuki just cause to want him dead.
- Improbable Use of a Weapon: Uses a giant shield to flatten people.
- Physical God: His focus on cooking and hospitality make it pretty easy to forget he's an Aesir … until he decides to ''flatten'' you with his shield for freeloading. Said shield is bigger than himself and weighs a ton and he wields it like it's just his regular frying pan.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: When he's pissed, they go from just blue to a pair of blue neon lights, much to Otsana's and Shebi's terror.
- Sacred Hospitality: Under orders from Odin, he must take in and care for travelers. He won't abide Pretty Freeloaders, however. Otsana and Shebi found this out, the hard way.
- Supreme Chef: Freyr's cover for being in Tokyo? He runs a high-class restaurant/club called The Golden Boar, which thanks to his cooking has apparently quite the reputation.
Giants
Surt
Surt
Surt is the leader of the fire giants and Muspellheim. He hates the Aesir for hunting his kind and forcing them to live on the fringes of the universe. He wants to get revenge and waits patiently from the edge of Muspellheim for his chance.
- Evil Is Burning Hot: He is a fire giant, after all.
- Freudian Excuse: A notable departure from Surt's usual Generic Doomsday Villain portrayal, this version of Surt actually has a reason for what he is trying to do; he hates the Aesir for hunting his kind and forcing them to live at the fringes of the universe. The fact that the Aesir like to throw rocks at them in their spare time doesn't help.
Creatures of Norse Myths
The Auroch
Myu Myu-chan/The Auroch
Myu Myu-chan the Auroch is the first beast that Yuuki faces. He is not so much dumb, but easily confused. As the large bull auroch, he is capable of destroying city blocks in a matter of seconds. But as a small "lawn-cow," he is capable of being run over by cars.
- Canon Foreigner: Out of the creatures faced by Yuuki, the Auroch is notable in being the only one who's not a creature in Norse myth (though it was most likely encountered by Vikings, since they went everywhere, they do not have any roles in any myth).
- Composite Character: Based on the real-life aurochs, obviously, but it being a big ox in Norse mythology brings to mind Audhumbla, the primordial cow.
- Groin Attack: Suffered one courtesy of Yuuki hitting him in the balls with his hammer.
- Sleep-Mode Size: He turns into a doll-sized calf when he isn't rampaging.
- The Unintelligible: Myu-Myu-chan can only say "Myu", but the Norse gods are perfectly able to understand what he's saying. The humans in the cast, though, have absolutely no idea.
Slepnir
Slepnir
One of Loki's children. He always calls Loki "Mommy," despite Loki's annoyance, due to the fact that Loki gave birth to him.
- Dumb Blond: He's a golden-furred horse, and only slightly smarter than a box of hammers.
Huginn and Muninn
Huginn and Muninn
Two crow beasts Yuuki has to fight. Much smarter than Slepnir (not that it takes much).
- Clever Crows: They're insulted when Yuuki tries to trick them in the same way as she did to Slepnir.
- I Have Your Wife: They grabbed and threatened Chiaki as part of Yuuki's "test." Yuuki figured out how to make Valkyrie wings on the fly and went after them, beating them handily in aerial combat.
Montrose Academy
Chiaki
Shuzaya Chiaki
"All I want is to be the best friend of a magical girl!"
Shuzaya Chiaki has only one want in life: to be in a magical girl story. While this may seem silly, magical girls are everything to Chiaki. She believes that there are magical girls in this world. There just has to be. She doesn't know how right she is though.
- Damsel in Distress: During the fight with the Crows and a short dream sequence.
- Ms. Fanservice: Pretty much all female characters get this, but she is notable as an Invoked case, as Loki admits at some point he put her in a bikini for the sole sake of giving the viewers something to watch.
- Motor Mouth: Only when she's worried sick about something/someone.
- Muggle Best Friend: To Yuuki.
- Nice Girl: This doesn't even begin to describe her. Chiaki is very supportive and caring of nearly everyone she meets and even after being Stood Up she couldn't bring herself to stay mad at Yuuki, especially after he has to vanish for weeks to avoid death threats.
- Official Couple: With Yuuki, provided that Himuro Taki's role as the Romantic False Lead is played straight.
- Stood Up: Yuuki accidentally did this to her.
Taki
Himuro Taki/aka Hrym, the Frost Giant
Himuro Taki is a student at Montrose Academy East, where he is a office worker some of the time. Taki likes Montrose Academy East because of its strange and varied curriculum (meaning he can study Norse mythology with no problem). He also likes girls who are strong and have something unique about them.
- The Casanova: His return in chapter 14 confirms that he emotionally manipulates, exploits, and seduces women for his own benefit, including his female subordinates.
- Even the Guys Want Him: He is the reason Yuuki questions his sexuality.
- Glamor Failure: When he drops his glasses in front of Hermond.
- God in Human Form: He's apparently a very high ranking Ice Giant, and appears to have murdered the real Taki and stolen his form.
- The Mole: Is actually an Ice Giant in disguise.
- Noodle Incident: Just what did he do to Hermond in chapter 12?
- The Smart Guy: On Norse lore. Pretty convenient that it's 100% real. There's a good reason for that. He's an Ice Giant in disguise.
Other
Haruki
Haruki
The luckiest or unluckiest man alive.
A random Japanese man who Otsana and Shebi extort for food and board.
- The Chew Toy: To Shebi and Otsana.
- Covert Pervert: Well, he is a healthy, heterosexual guy, who through no fault of his own, now finds himself in the same house as three very attractive women. Of course, he's going to have "those thoughts" from time to time.
- Hikikomori: He seems to be one of these.
- My Significance Sense Is Tingling: He visibily gets chills when Shebi and Otsana meet Fyuuko and then discuss going to his place to grab free booze, despite him being in his own home and none of the three of them nearby.
- Resigned to the Call: He "lets" Otsana and Shebi invite Fuyuko over to live at his house because he knows he doesn't stand a chance against any one of them, let alone all three.
- Unwanted Harem: It's not like he asked Shebi, Otsana, and Fuyuko to move into his home, and as of chapter 14.9, they've all started showing various levels of romantic interest, even Shebi mentions wanting to share his bed, for sleeping.
- Weirdness Censor: Eventually. At first he's freaked out at Otsana transforming and forcing herself to live in his apartment. Later on he sees Otsana and Shebi transforming again and bolting out to fight and doesn't react beyond saying a cheery "Good luck".
- What, Exactly, Is His Job?: He has been shown coming home from work in "episode 14.9," but the job itself has yet to be shown.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: He thinks he's fallen into a harem anime... It stops being a case of "wrong" genre savvy when "Episode 14.9" rolls around.
