''Ask Dr. Rin!'' (''Dr. Rin ni Kiite Mite!'') is a cutesy anime and manga that tries to combine aspects of two of the most popular shoujo series of all time, ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' and ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' together with your typical middle school romance comedy. The plot at first follows the everyday life of Meirin Kanzaki, a 13-year-old girl with the power to predict the future using feng shui magic. In order to test her powers, she creates a Web site under the pseudonym of Dr. Rin. On that page she tries to provide fortunes to whoever happens to wander by. By the time the anime has started, the Web site has become wildly popular (so much so that it threatens to drive her father - a feng shui diviner by trade - out of business). However, the one boy who wishes that she would shut up every so often about fortunetelling, Asuka Yuuki, is Meirin's romantic obsession. The show switches constantly between being a romantic comedy and a magical girl adventure.

[[caption-width-right:280:Meirin Kanzaki [[SecretIdentityIdentity AKA]] Dr. Rin]]
->''Haoyung Laila, please grant this maiden's wish.''
''Ask Dr. Rin!'' (''Dr. Rin ni Kiite Mite!'') is a cutesy anime and manga that tries to combine aspects of two of the most popular shoujo series of all time, ''FushigiYuugi'' and ''SailorMoon'' together with your typical middle school romance comedy. The plot at first follows the everyday life of Meirin Kanzaki, a 13-year-old girl with the power to predict the future using feng shui magic. In order to test her powers, she creates a Web site under the pseudonym of Dr. Rin. On that page she tries to provide fortunes to whoever happens to wander by. By the time the anime has started, the Web site has become wildly popular (so much so that it threatens to drive her father - a feng shui diviner by trade - out of business). However, the one boy who wishes that she would shut up every so often about fortunetelling, Asuka Yuuki, is Meirin's romantic obsession. The show switches constantly between being a romantic comedy and a magical girl adventure.
----
!!This series contains examples of:
* AllLoveIsUnrequited - Meirin follows Asuka around like a lost puppy while Tokiwa chases after her, Shinagawa makes a pass at Yue only to get dissed every episode, Shuuko can never seem to get the attention of any boy she crushes on for that episode... I think the only couple that's actually together is Meirin's parents.
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle - Dr. Rin's Feng-Shui corner
* BecauseDestinySaysSo - After this anime, you will never want to hear the term "fated lover" again.
* {{Bishonen}} - Tokiwa, Eddy, and [[spoiler:Banri]]
* BigEater - Meirin's mother.
* BumblingDad - Meirin's father.
* ButtMonkey - Shinagawa and Ooimachi. Heck, Ooimachi seems to exist purely in order to do the pratfalls that even Shinagawa has too much dignity for.
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull - "O Shenlong, who governs my power of Feng Shui, Haoyung Laila, please grant this maiden's wish."
* CherryBlossoms - "Shinagawa, the Man's Love In Full Bloom," lampshade hung multiple times.
* ChickMagnet - Tokiwa
* CollapsingLair
* CoolBigSis - Yue serves this role, but is the same age as Meirin.
* CoolOldGuy - Meirin's grandfather
* CunningLikeAFox - Nanao
* CuteMute - [[spoiler:Banri]], before Meirin institutes EpiphanyTherapy on him.
* ElegantGothicLolita - Banri [[spoiler:as a girl]].
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys - Tenshin
* FaceHeelTurn - [[spoiler:Asuka]]
* {{Fangirl}} - Shuuko
* FictionalCounterpart - The Ayu Hanasaki concert that Asuka took Meirin to bears a resemblance to a certain [[JapanesePopMusic Ayumi Hamasaki]], doesn't it?
* TheFourGods
* FortuneTeller - Many of the characters do this. Meirin uses feng shui, Tokiwa uses {{Onmyodo}}, Banri uses tarot cards, and Eddy uses astrology. Meirin's father also uses feng shui, but he's [[PhonyPsychic not so good at his job]].
* GrandTheftMe - [[spoiler:Banri]]
* HandsomeLech - Tokiwa both during and after being possessed, apparently - during, he's a borderline rapist, and after, he's very ditzy and narcissistic
* HeelFaceTurn - Each of the four guys does this, [[spoiler:but Asuka takes the cake for doing a full 180]].
* HeroSecretService - [[spoiler:Asuka, Tokiwa, Banri, and Eddy are the reincarnations of (respectively) Seiryuu, Byakko, Genbu, and Suzaku, and are sent to protect Meirin, the reincarnation of their master, Haoyung Laila]].
* HeroicFireRescue: When Tokiwa was still in his Yandere phase, one of his attempts to woo Meirin involved using his shikigami to set her school on fire while she was trapped in one of the rooms. His plan was to invoke this trope, even though he set the building on fire in the first place. Naturally, Asuka managed to show up and rescue her first.
* HeyItsThatVoice - Tokiwa is voiced by YuutoKazama, who also played Yamato Ishida in DigimonAdventure. Heck, Tokiwa even has the same haircut Yamato's [[DigimonAdventure02 02]] incarnation.
* HitMeDammit - "Well then, please hit me until you are satisfied!"
* HotShounenMom - Meirin's mother.
* InterspeciesRomance - Cynthia has a one-sided crush on Asuka.
