History Manga / EngagedToTheUnidentified

* CatSmile:
** Mashiro displays one in episode 5. Bonus points for doing it while wearing some cat pajamas.
** Benio has one in episode 10 when wondering if she'll get something from Mashiro for White Day. The latter immediately dismisses that notion.

* PeekABangs: Hakuya's hair covers one of his eyes. Justified in that he has a scar and the eye that is covered is nearly blind.

** Episode 11 reveals that Hakuya also has a scar on the right side of his face, hidden away by his PeekABangs. Although he tells her not to worry about it, Kobeni still feels bad and responsible for it.

* AccentRelapse: Konoha reverts to her TohokuRegionalAccent (which is considered "backwater" in Japan) when she gets riled up.

* ShortHairWithTail: Mashiro has this hairstyle, with a seemingly short haircut in front and a ponytail tied back with a bow.

* InnocentCohabitation: Hakuya and Mashiro more or less move into Kobeni's house. While this makes sense as Hakuya's technically Kobeni's fiancee, Kobeni is rightfully worried of the misunderstandings that general knowledge of this would cause... which is ''exactly'' what happens at the end of the second episode.

* ACupAngst: Mashiro is quite envious of Kobeni's rather large breasts in episode 2. The latter tries to downplay it by saying they're [[DCupDistress more of a hindrance,]] but the former says that's what all big-breasted girls say. On a few other occasions, Mashiro does notice that BuxomIsBetter [[ZigzaggedTrope isn't always the case,]] but that doesn't change her general perspective.

An anime adaptation produced by Creator/DogaKobo aired during the Winter2014Anime season. Two [=OVA=]s were later produced; one was included with the ([[NoExportForYou Japanese]]) Blu-Ray, and the second was included with the manga's fifth volume. [[Creator/AnimeNetwork HIDIVE]] and Creator/{{VRV}} are streaming the anime for English-speaking viewers.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Kobeni in the OP. Interestingly, it's toned down in the actual show, and episode 3 even focuses on her chest a couple of times in gym, but Kobeni's chest doesn't move nearly as much as in the opening.

* IllGirl:
** Surprise, Kobeni is this. She has recurring fevers and dizziness, to the point where she's apparently missed some of the outdoor activities her classmates usually participate in over the years. This is because she had a close-call accident that required Hakuya to give up part of his powers to keep her alive.
** Played for laughs and subverted in the manga, as Benio gets sick once (out of Kobeni and Hakuya's relationship upgrade), warranting the worry of everyone that knows her, even speculating that the world might be coming to an end; it's stated that she's so incredibly healthy that she once brushed away a food poisoning that landed her whole class sick in bed.

* CryCute: Kobeni in episode 9 after Konoha suggests she break off her engagement to Hakuya.

* {{Meganekko}}: Benio while in Student Council President mode. Also Kobeni's best friend and classmate Mayura.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The characters run the gamut of improbable hair colors. For example Kobeni has pink hair, while her sister Benio has ''orange'' hair.

** Mashiro chides Hakuya in episode 12 for not giving a clear email stating that they would be back to Kobeni's house. As a result, Kobeni thought they abandoned her and left due to leaving suddenly and taking all their clothing and textbooks with them. Mashiro explains they brought their clothing home to exchange it for summer attire, and that they'd be using new books for the next school term, so leaving the old ones at her house wouldn't of made much sense.

* HandHidingSleeves: Mashiro's school uniform's blouse, which was likely made for someone much older ''and'' much taller than her.

-->-- '''Niko''': Here!? In the woods with no one else around? Well obviously-- . . . they're doing a test of courage!
-->-- '''Konoha''': That's it!!

* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Nadeshiko, the student council vice president, is this to Benio. She pretty much makes it her duty to make sure Benio's eccentricities -- like, say, having an unhealthy obsession with her sister and Mashiro -- don't get out of hand.

* SpookyPhotographs: Youkai can't be photographed without appearing as a faded blur. Well, unless they scrunch their face up and concentrate really, really hard, which makes them look like a gurning idiot.

'''''SPOILER WARNING''''': ''The series hinges on a MidSeasonTwist that occurs relatively early in the manga. Since this twist is the backbone of the rest of the story, spoilers related to it are unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.''

* GoofyAnimalSuit: During the festival arc, Kobeni decides she and Hakuya will wear matching animal-themed onesies. She loves it, but he doesn't.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 23[=/=]Episode 5. Shirayuki casually lets slip that her family aren't human, radically changing the nature of the story.
