* [[spoiler:DeadLittleSister: Daidai.]]

* {{Expy}}: Riken is like a Meiji, military version of Ryu from ''KimiNiTodoke''.

* ItGotWorse: In Episode 3, women and children are missing from a village and the viewer is led to believe that they have been spirited away. [[spoiler: It turns out that they weren't; they were all eaten by a monster who is especially fond of the smell of their corpses as they rot in his stomach. And then? Then the monster reveals that pregnant women are the tastiest.]]

* YamatoNadeshiko: Susukihotaru, and the landlady Kushimatsu. Well, women in this era are supposed to be YamatoNadeshiko, so Zakuro is the one who stands out.

** [[MaiNakahara Zakuro]] is [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Nagisa]], [[FairyTail Juvia]], [[LightNovel/StrawberryPanic Nagisa]], [[MaiHiME Mai]], and [[LadiesVersusButlers Serina Iori Flameheart]]

** [[SayakaOhara Tsukuhane]] is [[FairyTail Erza]], [[XXXHolic Yuuko]], and [[CodeGeass Milly]]

** [[spoiler: The Village of Oracles are [[CompleteMonster far worse]], seeing as they kidnapped pregnant women just to create hanyou, then treat them like dirt.]]

* ItGotWorse: In Episode 3, women and children are missing from a village and the viewer is led to believe that they have been spirited away.

* ActionGirl

* HotChickWithASword: Zakuro. Or [[KukrisAreKool Hot Chick With a Kukri]]. Rather odd, as a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukri kukri]] is a Nepalese weapon made famous by the Gurkha mercenaries.

* MagicMusic: The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC47zQHtJFk song]] the girls sing in order to power up.

* TheWhitePrince: Kei.

Spirits and humans have long had a grudge against each other, but that's about to change. During the Meiji Era, Japan has now established the Department of Spirit Affairs to handle relations between humans and youkai. Three new recruits - Kei Agemaki, Hanakiri Ganryu and Riken Yoshinokazura, are going to team up with three half-spirit girls - Zakuro, Susukihotaru and the twins, Bonbori and Houzuki. The relationships are tense, but relations between humans and spirits - and, perhaps, romance? - are about to begin.

* CuteShotaroBoy: Hanakiri. Houzuki and Bonbori see him as their plaything, sort of.

* HoYay: Subverted, since Mamezo acts like this toward Kei just to tease him. [[spoiler:Justified, Mamezo is Zakuro's BondCreature.]]
* HotChickWithASword: Zakuro. Or [[KukrisAreCool Hot Chick With a Kukri]]. Rather odd, as a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukri kukri]] is a Nepalese weapon made famous by the Gurkha mercenaries.

* [[spoiler: [[IfICantHaveYou If I Can't Have You]]: Rangui says a variation of this to Omodaka. ]]

* ItGotWorse: In Episode 3, women and children are missing from a village and the viewer is led to believe that they have been spirited away. [[spoiler: It turns out that they weren't; they were all eaten by a [[CompleteMonster monster who is especially fond of the smell of their corpses as they rot in his stomach. And then? Then the monster reveals that pregnant women are the tastiest.]]]]

** [[spoiler:Kei and Zakuro in the final episode (He does it twice), the second time is followed by [[FirstKiss a little more]]]].

* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: Hanadate, Byakuroku, Rangui]]

* LoveDodecahedron: Subverted in Episode 9 when the Raccoon maids think the OfficialCouple 's (except the OT3) have partnerswapped. [[spoiler:They did not.]]

* PrincessCurls: Houzuki and Bonbori have really elaborate hair curls, almost on par with [[LadiesVersusButlers Sernia Flameheart]].

** [[MaiNakahara Zakuro]] is [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Nagisa]], [[FairyTail Juvia]], [[StrawberryPanic Nagisa]], [[MaiHiME Mai]], and [[LadiesVersusButlers Serina Iori Flameheart]]
