History VisualNovel / EnchantedInTheMoonlight

* DreamStealer: The protagonist runs afoul of a Baku in Kyoga's "A Poem From Him" side story.

* RedOniBlueOni: Shinra is an actual red oni, with everything that implies about his temperament. He is quite literally this to [[spoiler:his older brother Taira]], whose colour scheme is shades of blue.

* PlayingWithFire: In addition to his abilities of shapeshifting and illusion, Miyabi can also create and control blue flames called ''kitsunebi'' (foxfire) which are fully capable of burning threats to ash.

* CharacterTic: Yukinojo winks a lot.

* DistractedByTheSexy: The protagonist will have at least one of these, usually to indicate that she's finally falling for the guy in question.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Snow spirits like Yukinojo have an aversion to heat and fire. [[spoiler:Burn injuries can be enough to kill them.]]

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first we see of Shinra and Kyoga in the prologue is in the library. Shinra is causing a disruption by loudly complaining about the depiction of demons as villains in folktales like "Literature/{{Momotaro}}." Kyoga, meanwhile, protests the depiction of the wolf in "Literature/LittleRedRidingHood"... because [[HandsomeLech he'd rather go for a sexy lady than some little girl]].

* HandsomeLech: Miyabi, natch, although a darker variation of the trope.

* SequelHook: Yukinojo's main route ends with an unresolved issue that is likely to come back to haunt the main cast at a later date: [[spoiler:Unlike the villains of the other routes, Kamikiri was never defeated. She left voluntarily after delivering what she believed to be a fatal blow to Yukinojo. She's still out there, she still has designs on the protagonist, and she is still empowered enough from the protagonist's hair to be able to go toe to toe with all five of the love interests.]]

* AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder: Played sympathetically in the back story of one of the love interests: [[spoiler:Yukinojo fell in love with a human, but had to return to his own world for a while. He promised to come back for her, but since he didn't truly understand how different human and ayakashi lifespans are, he didn't return until several decades later. By then, the girl had not only moved on, but also married and started a family.]]

* HandsomeLech: Miyabi, natch, although a darker variation of the trope. Kyoga also shows signs.

* MayflyDecemberRomance: It's never established exactly how long ayakashi live (or if they're immortal), but it's certainly long enough that individuals can afford to be philosophical about having to wait another thousand years for the next person with "special blood" to be born.

* AMagicContractComesWithAKiss: Though it's a love bite to the back of the protagonist's neck, rather than a kiss in the traditional sense, this is what seals the agreement between the protagonist and her chosen love interest. It serves a deeper purpose than pure fanservice, however, since the bite leaves behind the love interest's mark to warn off any lesser ayakashi who might otherwise be tempted to try their luck.

* IntimateHealing: And its magical subcategories. One of the reasons the protagonist is attractive to ayakashi is that she's capable of this. In Chikage's route she points out he's stronger with her around to convince him to bring her along for the final confrontation, even describing herself as a gas station.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: At the end of Miyabi's main route, the other guys are startled when the proud, arrogant kitsune drops the attitude and humbly asks them to help him save the protagonist's life. They take it as [[LadyKillerInLove proof that he really is serious about her.]]

* CharacterTick: Yukinojo winks a lot.

* RomanticFalseLead: Taro, the protagonist's boss at the library and someone she's been pining over for some time, is this during Miyabi's route. [[spoiler: He's actually an ayakashi called Nishiki, and the main antagonist of the story in disguise.]]
