* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Ashiya's Influence was originally his dad's - and the part of his dad's soul that still hated youkai came with it. On one occasion, it takes over his body to kill a youkai, and at another point to berate Abeno.]]

to:

* DemonicPossession: DemonicPossession:
** Youkai can possess humans and even other youkai, and some are more easily possessed than others. Even if the youkai doesn't mean any harm, this causes symptoms similar to anemia in humans; if it does, the possessed can be ordered to do things they would never ordinarily do.

Added DiffLines:

* FloralThemeNaming: Ashiya and his sister both have flower-themed names; their name of their mom, a florist, means 'oak'.
* FlowerMotifs: Flowers show up often and are a prominent motif on every cover of the manga. Several seem to be symbolic - such as hollyhocks or ''tachi-aoi'' representing the character Aoi - and Ashiya's mom, a florist, occasionally invokes flower language.


Added DiffLines:

* ImplausibleHairColor: Abeno (and [[spoiler:Sakae, originally]]) has golden hair and eyes, which is noted several times by other characters. Ashiya even asks in an extra comic if he's from Europe or a youkai, but it's actually because he was born with the ability to use Influence.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Legislator, the Justice and the Executive are always referred to by their titles, even though they presumably have their own personal names.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The first time Ashiya is threatened by a youkai, he starts speaking and acting strangely, but it's some volumes before the reason for this is explained.



* InvisibleParents: Unlike Ashiya and Zenko's parents, Abeno's parents are never so much as mentioned in the series itself, and his relationship with various youkai takes their narrative place. (According to the official fanbook, however, they are alive and well.)



* RememberTheNewGuy: When talking to Zenko about his family, Ashiya only ever talks about his mother, and relates how being the "eldest son makes him feel obligated to succeed her business. Several volumes later, we learn that he has an older sister whom he never mentioned, even though they seem to get along quite well.

Added DiffLines:

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Aoi barely shows up on page, as they disappeared before the beginning of the series, but the effects of their actions have major impacts on the other characters. [[spoiler:Ashiya's dad died on a mission with them; they passed his Influence on to Ashiya, giving him powers, but also causing him to be possessed; their supposed death leads to Abeno unhappily becoming the Mononokean master, though he still searches for them; and after their absence causes problems when the Princess becomes ill, their rescue takes up the last arc of the manga.]]
* SpiritWorld: The Underworld, a place inhabited only by youkai and protected by the Princess. Youkai can live in the human world as well, but if they are weak enough, like Kinako, the strain of it can cause them to disappear.
