* {{Determinator}}: When Jimeko sets her mind to something, she won't give up. Deconstructed, however, in that setting out to put a vase of flowers on Kohina's desk every day to bully her only hurt her wallet, and finding out what she'd been doing only caused Kohina to worry Jimeko wasn't looking after herself more.



* NoSocialSkills: Jimeko has absolutely no idea how to interact with other people. She even manages to bungle ''bullying''.



** Kohina can't remember what Jimeko's real name is, despite the latter having been her seatmate last year, so she calls her 'Jimeko', from ''ijimekko'' (bully).



** She's also a {{deconstruction}} of the trope: not only does she comes off as an ordinary {{jerkass}} to everyone (and thus alienating the entire class), but also she fails to earn Kohina's friendship, only provoking mild irritation in her. And earns an uppercut for her efforts.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Shigaraki is an interesting case. As a trickster spirit, he's bound to deceive people and lead them to ruin. He makes no attempt to stop himself, but it's quite clear he isn't proud of what he does and does what he can to make up for it.



* BlackComedy: It has its moments. Notable is Kokkuri [[DrivenToSuicide putting up a noose]] in Kohina's backyard when he realizes he has absolutely no friends.

HilarityEnsues. No, seriously.

''Gugure! Kokkuri-san'' is a {{yonkoma}} comedy manga by Midori Endō published in ''Gangan Joker''. An anime by TMS Entertainment started airing as part of the Fall2014Anime season on October 5th 2014.

----

* ArtShift: When Kohina has major NotSoStoic moments she shifts from her normal SuperDeformed look to the more realistic style of everything around her.

* FriendlessBackground: Both main characters.
* TheGreys: There's one in the cast.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Kokkuri is probably a lot older than the 25 years he'd like to claim. Kohina is an elementary student. Nevertheless, even though Kokkuri's acting as a parental substitute, they still consider each other friends.
* LaserBlade: Kohina found one of these in the storehouse. Your guess is as good as ours as to where it came from.
* LittleBitBeastly: Kokkuri usually appears as a human with fox ears and tail.
* MinorLivingAlone: Kohina. [[ParentalAbandonment There's no mention of what happened to her parents]], only that she hasn't eaten with anyone in a long time.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Kokkuri, who's had so many names he's lost track of which is his real one.
* ParentalSubstitute: Kokkuri is this for Kohina.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: Kokkuri had watched Kohina from a distance since she was little, since she'd been the only person who ever came to his shrine. He calls it being a guardian. She calls it stalking.

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Kokkuri.
