From Yukiru Sugisaki, the same woman behind
DN Angel, comes this particularly bizarre
Magical Girlfriend series.
Tomonori Iwaki is in his third year of middle school and is depressed that his teacher, who he's had a crush on, is getting married. He comes home from school, only to be greeted by a
young girl calling him "Darling" and suddenly declaring herself to be his wife... and her three secrent agent "dads", who have been assigned to protect her. Of course, it's not a good idea to make this girl angry — her tears
contain nitroglycerin and can blow the Iwaki household to smithereens!
Throw in a
Love Dodecahedron and a generous helping of
comedic mischief (and a fair amount of drama, of course) and that's
Rizelmine in a nutshell.
Tropes used:
- All Love Is Unrequited - For most of the anime, other than the teacher's off-screen fiance, this trope holds brutally — Iwaki has a crush on his teacher, Rizel has a crush on Iwaki, Ryunosuke has a crush on Rizel (or at least on her bear print panties,) Aoi has a crush on Ryunosuke, Kyouko also has a crush on Iwaki... and they all end up happily paired off, one of them with a dog.
- A Twinkle In The Sky - Iwaki commonly does this to Rizel, but she seems to enjoy it.
- Cake Eater - Iwaki has a crush on his teacher. He doesn't like that she's getting married.
- Crosses The Line Twice - Throwing your wife into a wall, horrible. Repeatedly throwing her through the wall into the stratosphere, hilarious.Panty fetishist lolicon who gives speeches to his class mates about the wonders of panties, hilarious.
- Fanservice - Lots and lots, and even more parodies of Fanservice.
- Gratuitous Insert Language Here - The foreigners Lux (English), Rachel (Russian), Lobelia (Italian) and Lan-Lan (Mandarin Chinese).
- Humongous Mecha - The titular Rizelmine.
- Level Up At Intimacy 5 - The handlers of several countries' supergirls try to get Iwaki to have sex with their charges, erroneously because of this trope.
- Lolicon - Rizel is loli, Ryunosuke often denounces grown women.
- Made Of Diamond - Rizel
- Magical Girlfriend - Rizel, again.
- Nanomachines - the supposed source of Rizel's indestructibility.
- Pair The Spares - this is how a number of the issues of the Love Dodecahedron are resolved.
- Rape As Comedy - Aoi relationship with her boyfriend/dog could be described as this
- Screw The Rules I Have Money - Rizel is so important to the government that they bribe Tomonori Iwaki's parents to let Rizel stay. Then they make her marriage licence (which was filled out without her "husband's" permission) stick, and fly her to Mt. Everest so she can get a apology gift. More of a case of Screw The Rules I Have Connections, really.
- Verbal Tic - Lan-Lan with her "de aru" and Rachel with her "-ski".
