Tayutama -Kiss on my Deity- tells the story of Yuuri Mito, an
Ordinary High School Student with a love of motorbikes and an eccentric father. He's also the descendant of Yachimata, a priest who sealed away spirits called Tayutai many years ago. One day, he rides out with Ameri to find that a relic that houses the Tayutai is going to be destroyed for further city expansion, and as such goes to purify it. Ameri's moped starts up a moment too soon and cracks the rock, freeing all of the Tayutai. Most of them are harmless little spirits, but three of them despise humans and go out into the world. Kikurami, a Tayutai who sealed herself away all those years ago, appears in the form of a young girl who seeks to bridge the gap between humans and Tayutai.
She ends up living at Yuuri's house, ending up married to him after a kiss. Yuuri names her Mashiro, and so the two begin training to reawaken Yuuri's powers and either defeat or bring around the three great Tayutai. Yuuri, Ameri, Yuuri's stepsister Yumina and Mifuyu, a student from the prestigous Flawless Girls' School, all take part in the story.
Based on the
Visual Novel by Lump of Sugar, adapted into an anime in the spring of 2009. A fandisc,
Tayutama -It's happy days- was released in 2009, and an
Updated Rerelease is planned.
Tropes in
Tayutama include:
- Accidental Marriage — For Yuuri, at least. Mashiro had full intentions of marrying him. Eventually upgrades into a full marriage by the end.
- After The End — The very last scenes in the anime appears to be the sunken ruins of Japan similar to a scene in Evangelion...we don't get to know how it happens, and there wasn't any hint about it ever going to happen at all during the series...and the only purpose of that scene is to show the two main characters reuniting(both appearing to not have aged at all). This scene may mean nothing, but it's left ThisTroper using up several hours thinking of any explanation to what happened to cause Japan to be in such ruins.
- Battle Aura
- Drop The Hammer — Mashiro's primary weapon, even when she's in her loli form.
- Gender Bender — "Yuuko", Yuuri's female identity when he goes to Flawless to keep an eye on Yumina. Magical crossdressing!
- Head Pet — The Phoenix Tayutai in both of its forms. It really likes Yumina's head.
- Lawyer Friendly Cameo — In an episode he guest-directed, Nabeshin makes an appearance as a salesman that Nue scares away.
- Petting Zoo People — Mashiro, who has both the ears and tail of a wolf.
- Power Gives You Wings — The Phoenix grants a pair to Yumina, Ameri gets a pair from the Dragon. Yumina's are golden and angelic, therefore good. Ameri's are black and leathery, therefore not good.
- Sealed Evil In A Can — And Sealed Good In A Can in Mashiro.
- Sleep Mode Size — Both Mashiro and Nue take the form of young girls when their powers are lower than normal.
- Theme Tune Cameo — The Karaoke Box session from episode nine uses this one.
- Token Loli — Nue.
- Tearjerker — The final episode...who could have thought this show contained such tearjerking moments...
- Unlucky Childhood Friend — Ameri.
