* RidiculousFutureInflation: Ougai and Hishida are scandalized when Mei says she'd like a 380 yen meal. Apparently 380 yen (equivalent to a little over 3 American dollars in the 21st century) is enough to buy an entire shop in the Meiji era.

Meiji Tokyo Renka is a Japanese visual novel series about Mei Ayazuki, an ordinary high school girl who is sent back in time to the [[UsefulNotes/MeijiRestoration Meiji period]] by a magician called Charlie and loses her memories. In this strange era where the existence of spirits is seen as normal, the amnesiac Mei encounters various spirits and historical figures during her stay as she has the ability to see spirits.

A mobile game by Dwango with the same name was released in 2011, then the novel got adapted into 2 animated movies, a TV anime series, and a live-action movie.

!! Meiji Tokyo Renka contains examples of:
* AdventuresInTheBible: Main character Mei Ayazuki is sent back from present day to Meiji Era Tokyo, where she encounters many real-life historical figures in her month's stay.
* {{Bishonen}}: Every single male character can be considered this.
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: It's an otome game/anime, so this is par for the course.
* ContinuityCameo: Koyo, Rentaro, and Taikan all appear in the 2019 anime for short amounts of time.
* EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop: During the "electricity rap", Mei's dance consists of a two-second looped animation.
* FirstGirlWins: While Charlie is the first boy Mei meets, it is Ougai who picks her off the road and gives her a place to stay. The Visual Novel lets you pick which route to take, but the 2019 anime heavily favors Ougai.
* HaremGenre: The reverse kind, with 7 boys in the original Visual Novel, 8 in the 2015 movie and 2019 anime, and 11 in mobile game Haitara Date.
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: The main male characters all clearly look very different from their real-life selves.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: All of the romanceable characters are famous Japanese poets, authors, playwrights, actors, or warriors from the 20th century.
* ISeeDeadPeople: Mei has had the natural ability to see ghosts since she was a child, which is the reason why she does not have many friends in the current day. In the Meiji Period, she is known as a Tamayori, and is highly prized because of this.
** Kyoka and Tosuke are also Tamayori.
** Yakumo used to be a Tamayori before he injured his eye.
** Goro is not a Tamayori, but can see the reflection of the spirits in his cursed sword.
* RomanceGame: The mobile game is an otome, harem game with 11 handsome men surrounding the pretty female protagonist.
