History Anime / TamakoMarket

** Ouji most typically means "[[PrinceCharming prince]]", though the name is actually spelled 'large road' [[note]]hence 'ouji' for 'prince' and 'ooji' for the name[[/note]].

* TalkingAnimal: Dera. Half the point of the show, it seems.

* [[AccidentalMarriage Accidental Courtship]]: Dera [[CrashIntoHello colliding with Tamako's face]] causes her to sneeze violently; and apparently Dera's culture interprets sneezing at someone as a declaration of courtship towards them. Dera assesses the situation accordingly.

* MeaningfulName: Dera Mochimazzui, meaning 'mochi tastes horrible'. Tamako's dad keeps insisting he change it to Mochiunmai, 'mochi tastes awesome'.
** Tamako is named after the name of the family business--"-ya" is a business suffix and "-ko" is a feminine name suffix. Her sister Anko is named after the read bean paste filling.

One day Tamako goes to the local market and finds a strange bird inside a bouquet of flowers. As she soon learns, [[TalkingAnimal the bird can talk]], calling itself [[AerithAndBob Dera Mochimazzui]]. The bird follows Tamako back home, whether she or her family likes it or not.

The story follows a happy-go-lucky girl named Tamako Kitashirakawa. Tamako herself is a high school student and the daughter of a mochi maker who conducts his business from home. Their mochi business, called Tamaya, is right in front of a western themed shop called [[GratuitousEnglish Rice Cake Oh!Zee]], which creates a lot of friction between Tamako's father and the Oji family. Of course, true to the Romeo and Juliet archetype, the son of the owner of Rice Cake Oh!Zee is Mochizō Ōji, a ChildhoodFriend of Tamako. As expected, Tamako is Mochizō's love interest.
