History Manga / KamichamaKarin

* ArtShift: to [[TheSeventies seventies]] {{shojo}} style to tell the story of Miyon's play, and Kirio's view of a disguised Karin.
* BigFancyHouse: both the Kujos' and Karasumas', to the point where both Karin and Ami have gotten lost in them. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] when Karin wonders why they all have such big houses. Jin's mansion is much bigger, and [[BishieSparkle sparkly]]. [[spoiler:It turns out to be a subversion, as Jin doesn't live in the house himself, but lives in a shack, and has never been inside the actual house.]]

** [[spoiler:Kazune and Himeka are initially introduced as cousins with Kazuto being Kazune's father, but actually Kazune is a clone of Kazuto and Himeka is Kazuto's daughter. Karin is either a clone of or a deaged (depending on canon) Kazuto's wife/Himeka's mother.]] Kazusa is said to be Kazune's twin sister [[spoiler:but is implied to be a clone of Himeka]].

* GirlishPigtails: Karin's twin pigtails

** Apparently Koge Donbo was going to list his god as Poseidon (the greek name, to match the others), but got mixed up because of the ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' character and put the roman name instead.

* NoSenseOfDirection: manga-only character Ami

* PowerOfLove: in full force in the sequel, where the finishing move is Love Attack, and the mid-season power-up comes from Love Evolution.

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: the plot of ''Chu'', though it's more like Set Right What Will Go Wrong.

* TwoSiblingsInOne: an [[InvokedTrope invoked]] [[InvertedTrope inversion]] with [[spoiler:Himeka. In the manga, Kazuto Kujo split her into two halves and [[NeuroVault had hidden his research in her; in the anime, she was originally one person, but Kirihiko made a copy so he could have Kazuto's research for himself]]]].

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:Kazune]]

* KissingCousins: Himeka has a crush on her cousin, Kazune. [[spoiler:It turns out that Kazune is actually a [[CloningBlues clone]] of her real father, Kazuto Kujo.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Pretty much all of the main guys, expect maybe the relatively plain Yuuki [[spoiler: [[{{Bifauxnen}} and also Kirika]] ]].

* PowerOfLove: in full force in the sequel, where the finishing move is Love Attack, and the mid-season power up comes from Love Evolution.

* OffModel: [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/am_i_kawaii_uguu_8631.jpg Am I kawaii?]]

* TransformationTrinket: the Kamika rings

* MeaningfulName: Michiru means "to fill with water" and is used when describing the tide rising. In ''Chu'' he gains the powers of Poseidon/Neptune. This wasn't actually a reference to [[Franchise/SailorMoon a certain other "Neptune"]] [[NamesTheSame named Michiru]].

* RapunzelHair: Kazusa

Created by Creator/KogeDonbo, the original manga was supposed to be a one-shot AffectionateParody of magical girl series, but its unexpected success caused it to be continued for seven volumes and aired as an anime show. There is also a sequel, ''Kamichama Karin Chu'', where Karin and Kazune's KidFromTheFuture comes back to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, and introducing new character [[IdolSinger Jin Kuga]] and giving the main cast [[FrillyUpgrade new transformations]].

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Kirihiko Karasuma's true plan]]

[[CuteClumsyGirl Klutzy]], [[ThisLoserIsYou underachieving]] sixth-grader Karin is miserable. Not only are her [[ParentalAbandonment parents dead]], but her beloved cat, Shii-chan, just died, and on top of all of that, she gets terrible grades in school. Little does she know that, thanks to [[RingOfPower a ring]] that was [[OrphansPlotTrinket left to her]] by her [[MissingMom late mother]], Karin is about to transform into a goddess, and her life will never be the same. Teaming up with [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Kazune Kujou]], she vows to protect Kazune's cousin Himeka from [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Kirio Karasuma]], who is after her for unknown reasons. Karin also gets a crush on Kirio's twin brother [[{{Bishonen}} Kirika Karasuma]], but could he be involved with his brother's plans? And why does the NewTransferStudent Michiru "Micchi" Nishikiori have a [[TransformationTrinket god transformation ring]] of his own?

* BigFancyHouse: both the Kujous' and Karasumas', to the point where both Karin and Ami have gotten lost in them. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] when Karin wonders why they all have such big houses. Jin's mansion is much bigger, and [[BishieSparkle sparkly]]. [[spoiler:It turns out to be a subversion, as Jin doesn't live in the house himself, but lives in a shack, and has never been inside the actual house.]]

* FamilyThemeNaming: To the point that the Karasuma and Kujyou families effectively have {{Tangled Family Tree}}s of names in addition to the actual one.

** Kazuto Kujyou has two children [[spoiler:(or clones of himself and his actual daughter, whatever)]] named Kazune and Kazusa.

* FountainOfYouth: In the backstory, [[spoiler:Kazuto Kujou used this plus a MemoryGambit on his wife, Suzuka (better known as Karin Hanazono), to help them hide the research of the Gods' rings from Kirihiko Karasuma]].

* KissingCousins: Himeka has a crush on her cousin, Kazune. [[spoiler:It turns out that Kazune is actually a [[CloningBlues clone]] of her real father, Kazuto Kujou.]]

* LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler:Karin, [[InvertedTrope you are Himeka's mother.]] By extension, your real name is also Suzuka Kujou]].

* NeuroVault: [[spoiler:Himeka is where her father, Kazuto Kujou, had hidden his research on the Gods' Rings. Then, he separated her into [[TwoSiblingsInOne two]] [[InvertedTrope halves]]]].

* ParentalAbandonment: Karin, Kazune, Himeka, Micchi, Kirio and Kirika all have dead parents. [[spoiler:Kazune and Karin, however, are clones of Kazune's supposed parents, and the Kujous are actually Himeka's parents, though they're still quite dead.]]

* TwoSiblingsInOne: an [[InvokedTrope invoked]] [[InvertedTrope inversion]] with [[spoiler:Himeka. In the manga, Kazuto Kujou split her into two halves and [[NeuroVault had hidden his research in her; in the anime, she was originally one person, but Kirihiko made a copy so he could have Kazuto's research for himself]]]].

* FanGirl: in-universe example: Kazune, Micchi, and Jin all have their own respective fan clubs: the Kazune-Z, Michirians, and Jeens. Jin's fangirls can get downright violent.

Not to be confused with the vampire series ''{{Karin}}'', or with ''Anime/{{Kamichu}}'', the other series about a girl who becomes a god.

[[AC: This show provides examples of:]]

* NoKoreansInJapan: Averted by Mi Yon Yi (Miyon), who is a friend of Karin and Himeka's.

* {{Bishonen}}: Pretty much all of the main guys, expect maybe the relatively plain Yuuki [[spoiler: [[{{Bifauxen}} and also Kirika]] ]].

* {{Expy}}: Kirika and Kazune look an awful lot like [[{{Pita-Ten}} Ten-chan]].

* ShoutOut: [[{{Pita-Ten}} Koboshi]] helps Karin out when she gets sick during the SchoolPlay.
