* BleachedUnderpants: Many of the artists that worked on this game mainly draw porn. But since this is bara, this is to be expected.

** Maxing out a unit's level, up to 85 for 5-star ones, can take a while or a lot of EXP boosters. To give you an idea, a single EXP booster gives 1536 EXP to a unit of appropriate element (or any unit for All-Round boosters), and the highest EXP you can obtain from a battle is a little over 60K from a once-per-day mission if you use the AR that focuses all EXP gain to a single unit. You'll start needing 6-digit EXP once you try to level up from 80 onwards, and the last step from 84 to 85 requires '''1.5 million'''.

** The mother of ridiculous level cap goes to the Rank Exp, which determines your AP capacity and team size, among other benefits. Without spending items or real money to constantly replenish your AP, you will need ''years'' to reach the maximum rank of 120.

** Level Seed and Skill Seed, which further increase your units' level cap and skill activation rate after you completely max them out, will quickly cost you millions of coins ''per seed''. To give you an idea, the most coins a non-limited mission can give is a little below 200K (before any coin bonuses), and you can only play this mission four times a day on weekends naturally, whereas giving the maximum 10 skill seeds to a unit will cost you 27.5 million coins, and 15 level seeds require no less than '''60 million coins'''.

* BrutalBonusLevel: Occasionally there are 0 AP battles which reward first-time clears with rare items like Solomon ticket, though nothing else so they can't be used to grind. The generosity of this 0 AP cost is massively offset by the battles being ''loaded'' with FakeDifficulty.

* RareCandy: Aside from the many items needed or usable to increase Exp of units, there are also Seeds, which permanently increase the stats of a unit up to a certain limit. HP and Atk Seeds (and later blooms) increase their respective stats, Level Seeds increase level cap after you fully Limit Break a unit, and Skill Seeds increase the percentage of skill activation rate after you max out a unit's Skill Level. However, these items are incredibly rare, with HP and Atk seeds only becoming farmable once you clear story chapter 8.

Beginning late 2017, after thousands of requests from international players, Housamo has begun to include translations of the main quest in fragments -- [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese]]. Additionally, [[TheWikiRule fan translations of most special and character quests are available on the Housamo wiki]], with an active fan community updating the pages regularly.

To give you an idea, a single EXP booster gives 1536 EXP to a unit of appropriate element (or any unit for All-Round boosters), and the highest EXP you can obtain from a battle is 50K from a once-per-day mission if you use the AR that focuses all EXP gain to a single unit. You'll start needing 6-digit EXP once you try to level up from 80 onwards, and the last step from 84 to 85 requires '''1.5 million'''.

* ContractualBossImmunity: Quite a number of the game's hardest enemies, such as Exceptions and {{Bonus Boss}}es, are immune to debuffs, or at least,immune to the strongest of debuffs such as skill bind and charm.

* Hourai; Based on Chinese legends, folktales and literatures.

* CrossoverCosmology: We have Transients hailing from [[Myth/JapaneseMythology Shinto]], Myth/NorseMythology, Myth/GreekMythology, [[Literature/TheBible Judaism]], Literature/ArsGoetia, Franchise/CthulhuMythos and more.

* ColorCodedElements: Each of the nine elements in the game are given its distinct color: FireIsRed, WaterIsBlue, wood is green, aether is yellow, nether is purple, infernal is black, valiant is white, world is brown and all-round is grey.

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: A unit belongs to one of nine available elements. The relationships among the elements can be seen in a chart in [[https://housamo.wiki/Attribute this Wiki page]], but to put it in text:

** Group 1: Fire, Water, Wood. Fire takes double damage from and deals half damage to Water, who does exactly those to Wood, who does exactly those to Fire.

** Group 3: Infernal (Demon), Valiant and World. Infernal takes double damage from and deals half damage to Valiant, who does exactly that to World, who does exactly that to Infernal. In addition, each member of this group takes bonus damage from its own type.

** All-Round, such as the protagonist, takes and deals normal damage from and to everything.

* EldritchAbomination: Other than the Franchise/CthulhuMythos-inspired characters, the aforementioned Exceptions, who are berserk versions of mythological figures. So far we've seen six, with different powers defined by the intersection between the two Rules that caused it: [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Yog-Sothoth]], [[Myth/NorseMythology Thor]], [[Myth/KingArthur the Fisher King]], [[UsefulNotes/SanadaYukimura Yukimura]], [[UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc Orlean]], and [[Myth/HinduMythology Mahakala]].

* Great Spirit; Based on mythologies of the Indigenous North American peoples.

* Heliopolis; a world with an unknown basis.
* Utopia; Based on modern fiction.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Despite having a 12+ age rating [[note]]T, if you live in the United States.[[/note]], this game gets away with a lot of sexual content that would otherwise not be allowed, such as visible crotch bulges and straight up nudity, courtesy of Bathym's ass.

** To increase a unit's Skill level, you cannot grind in battle, instead, you must use Soul items, plus up to a million coins per unit. It can be difficult to amass 1 million coins.

You are a summoner from another world who obtained a sacred treasure of a divine sword cut off from the tail of a dragon. They carry all elemental attributes, and the power of disconnection that lies in their sword has the power to divide control and power. As compensation for being a "wanderer," they have been "exiled from their birthplace". One day, a magical power sends you to a different version of Tokyo. There, you will gather companions, and develop your story in this Card Battle RPG.

''Tokyo Afterschool Summoners'' (Tokyo Houkago Summoners), also known as ''Housamo'', is a mobile game developed by Life Wonders. Defined as a "Card Battle RPG", the game is targeted towards [[QueerMedia LGBT individuals]], [[CastFullOfGay with 95% of the game's cast being gay]]. The player can choose from up to 5 appearances for his, her, or their main character, collect cards and companions, choose selections in a story, and battle foes in a grid-based RPG system.

To give you an idea, a single Exp-booster gives 1536 Exp to a unit of appropriate element (or any unit for All-Round boosters), and the highest Exp you can obtain from a battle is 50K from a once-per-day mission if you use the AR that focuses all Exp gain to a single unit.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: A recurring element throughout multiple chapters: the Exception bosses summoned when two conceptually opposite powers clash in a way that the app can't process. Additionally, [[ALoadOfBull Gyumao]] and Typhon have the ability to grow to colossal sizes.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Perhaps to offset that your team always take the first turn, enemies tend to have far more HP than legally possible and tend to outnumber your 4-man party. And that's before getting into the harder battles where enemies start having AI-only abilities and a buttload of nasty buffs and debuffs.

* HeroUnit: The protagonist is their own unit that uses a sword with five different appearances to pick from, an assignable gender regardless of what appearance you picked, and five different voices to choose from. They also summon the other units you get from the gacha. The protagonist also costs much lower than units of similar rarity rating (3-star protagonist costs 0, while 4-star costs a measly 2), and their Sacred Artifact level cannot be raised via gacha since you cannot pull them that way (3-cost protagonist has their SA level increased via My Guild function, while 4-star protagonist currently has no means to increase theirs).

!This Mobile Game provides examples of:

* TheTeam: Story-wise, as of Chapter 8:
** TheLeader: Protagonist
** TheLancer: Toji
** TheBigGuy: Kengo
** TheSmartGuy: Shiro

** SixthRanger: Moritaka or Hanuman, depending on your view

** [[spoiler:Episode 11 ends with the reveal that Kyoma is in fact the Transient King Solomon, working to save the Player from the greater forces after them. It ends with him sacrificing himself to give the Player a fighting chance to end the cycles of Game.]]
