* LawyerFriendlyCameo: The anime turns Nakano's video game collection into a fluffy tail-themed clone of the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and some appropriately fluffied-up games. This also shows up to a degree in the manga, with games like [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Fox]] and a VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} clone with (fluffy-tailed) Tanuki instead of Inklings. The system itself and the controllers for it more closely resemble the UsefulNotes/Playstation4, though.

* TanukiKitsuneContrast: Fukuda the ''tanuki'' and Senko the ''kitsune'' are shown off to be opposites of each other in several ways. While Senko is a refined and well-trained divine messenger, Fukuda is an excitable country-bumpkin who is not the most competent at household tasks. Senko is visibly wary of Fukuda when she is introduced, though the two remain cordial and respectful towards each other.

** The manga has quite the drama in the chapters leading up to its change to an irregular update schedule. [[spoiler:Having decided the curse is growing too strong, the group work to perform a ritual that will purify it from Nakano completely. However, it's revealed that doing this will require Nakano to marry one of the other girls while Senko must leave him for potentially decades while the nine-tails' hatred is bound to her. At the wedding between Nakano and Fukuda, she calls it off at the last second knowing that Nakano's heart isn't in it. Nakano and Senko end up declaring that they don't want to leave each other, which ends up unleashing the nine-tail's curse, manifesting into a toddler kitsune. Rather than destroying it, the gang decide to raise and pamper it so it may hopefully let go of its desire for negative emotions.]] Like the anime, the manga's unofficial finale remains upbeat and happy.
