* TooLongDidntDub: A good few Japanese terms go untranslated. Many of them, such as "kitsune" and "tengu," are words which have penetrated into Western culture enough that English-language audiences are likely to be familiar with them, and many others can be picked up via context, but a few are a bit more opaque.

Tweaking the wording a little bit, since these things occur in the same conversation, and the spoiler isn\'t really necessary.


* IntimateHealing: And its magical subcategories. One of the reasons the protagonist is attractive to ayakashi is that she's capable of this. With [[spoiler:Chikage]] she points out he's stronger with her around to convince him to bring her along for the final confrontation. At one point she even describes herself as a gas station.

* {{Youkai}}: The game calls them "ayakashi" in its modern, synonymous usage, and the plot revolves around the protagonist suddenly becoming aware of the world of such supernatural creatures following the awakening of her power, which is very attractive to ayakashi. Miyabi is a {{Kitsune}}, Chikage is a {{Tengu}}, Shinra is an oni (translated as "demon" in the prologue of the English localization), Kyoga is an okami, and Yukinojo is a yukibito (a male version of a yuki-onna). Other types appearing or mentioned in the various routes include kappa, kamaitachi, and wanyuudo.

Even after he begins to fall for her, it's not readily evident in his behavior except to people who've known him for a long time, who point out that he's becoming softer and more approachable under the protagonist's influence.

* ExtraStrengthMasquerade: Used inconsistently in Chikage's route. During the main story humans can't see two ayakashi having a fight in the middle of the library, which is a major problem in terms of collateral damage. During the sequel, however, two ayakashi who just forgot to put on their disguises cause a major freak out, and the protagonist has to intervene and claim all the weird-looking people are cosplayers. Based on Chikage's dialogue, ayakashi in the human world are supposed to disguise themselves, but no explanation is made for why.

On consideration, I don\'t think that being nosy about what the couple has gotten up to is really sufficient to qualify the whole group for the trope.

* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: It turns out to be a moot point since he's hardly a normal fox, but upon encountering Miyabi in his fox form during the prologue, the protagonist feeds him some of her fried tofu and then takes the apparent ''wild animal'' into her bathroom and strips naked in order to give it a bath. Had she done this with a real wild fox instead of a transformed {{kitsune}}, it would most likely have quickly become a painful experience.
