History Literature / Kanokon

* FirstNameBasis: Played with: Nozomu calls everyone by their first name (without even [[JapaneseHonorifics honorifics]]) right off the bat, even if she just met them. That just underlines that [[NoSocialSkills she is pretty carefree with politeness conventions]]… And of course, Kôta starts calling Chizuru by her first name (on her demand) within the first chapter. But she is a bit pissed that he uses such a formal honorific as -san, which reminds her she's [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld quite a bit older than he is]].

** Then, in Chapter 32, Tayura "explains" to Akane that Kôta and Chizuru were doing {{Cosplay}}, and Ai and Ren were also cosplaying. The visual for the twins' supposed cosplay is clearly ''LightNovel/ZeroNoTsukaima''.

* TheAlcatraz: Surprisingly enough, ''Kôta's school'': in chapter 8 of the manga, the scary KnightTemplar-like, wooden sword wielding teacher Yatsuka points out the school Kôta's going for is an inverted ExtranormalInstitute -- it exists as a school for yôkai having difficulty learning to adapt to human society to be imprisoned at until they learn how to fit in. And if they mess up school life they go to the actually prison for demons. The school is more of baby Alcatraz.

Compare with ''LightNovel/MamoruKunNiMegamiNoShukufukuWo''.

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale
** Kôta get nailed with a metal trash can. To be fair, Chizuru meant to throw it at Nozomu who was clinging to him at the time, but she managed to dodge it.
** Also, Tayura is on the receiving end of a lot of Chizuru's attacks.

* BonusEpisode: Wherein the producers decided to turn the '''Fanservice'''-o-Meter's dial UpToEleven and beat you in the head with it.

'''''Kanokon''''' is a 2005 LightNovel-turned-{{Manga}} and, in 2008, an {{Anime}}. It revolves around young exchange student Kôta Oyamada, who starts at a new school, only to be approached by the most attractive girl on campus almost immediately. Chizuru Minamoto lures him to an empty classroom and immediately attempts to force herself on him, only stopped by the appearance of her ears and tail.

Compare with ''Anime/MamoruKunNiMegamiNiShukufukuO''.

** Also in chapter 30, Chizuru makes the famous ''Manga/SailorMoon'' pose. She even says, "In the name of the fox goddess, I'll punish you!" See [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v06/c030/10.html here]].

* [[AyakoKawasumi Kawasumi Ayako]]: In her most outrageously sexy role ''to date.''

* [[MamikoNoto Noto Mamiko]]: Playing a ''boy'' this time, namely poor, helpless Kôta.

* HotMom: Chizuru's (adoptive) mother. My, what a [[IncrediblyLamePun foxy lady...]] It's revealed in the manga that Chizuru's mom, Tamamo, is actually [[spoiler:the basis for the many legendary Kitsune, or Nine-Tailed Fox legends in Asian culture (specifically Tamamo no Mae).]]

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Kôta gains the name "Great Erotic King" due to his classmates misunderstanding the situations he ends up in. Amusingly in the manga, when [[spoiler: Nozomu leaves]] his classmates apologize for calling him that, since [[spoiler: she left citing that Kôta would only ever really love Chizuru.]] The next page, [[spoiler: When Nozomu comes back, saying she's going to be his mistress in a [[{{OT3}} threesome]] with him and Chizuru]], they give up and go back to calling him that again.
** [[spoiler: Apparently this is a form of foreshadowing, as recent developments in the manga from Saku hint that Kôta was some form of king.]]

* [[spoiler: BabiesEverAfter: Chizuru and Kôta have a son at the end of Chapter 47.]]

* HugeGirlTinyGuy: Well, considering Chizuru is [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really Four Hundred Years Old]] it's not too surprising that she's more than fully grown up compared to the teenage-looking Kôta.

** Nazumi is unopposed to threesomes as long as they involve Kôta, and engages in one with him and [[spoiler: Natsumi Tataraya]] in Chapter 45.

* MeaningfulName: Kumada is [[EverythingsWorseWithBears exactly what his name says]]. Also, Ren and Ai are both words meaning "love".

* EmotionlessGirl: Nozomu, although she does seem quite capable of love and lust. In the manga, which shows her alone at times, it reveals that she ''isn't'' emotionless -- but only when she's in her yôkai form. Or when she's alone. Or maybe her emotions cause her yôkai form to pop out. [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v04/c018/22.html Or... something.]]

* SuicideAsComedy: Chizuru [[DrivenToSuicide tried to hang-herself]] in Episode 9 when her breasts are magically shruken, and was just about to be talked out of it by Kouta's kind reassurance until [[{{Pettanko}} Nozomu]] grabs her chests and cheekily quips "I win!", prompting her to leap to the noose with renewed gutso.

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Minori is revealed to be a partially succesful attempt to create a vessel for Sunsanoo.]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: [[spoiler: They ''almost'' do prior to the final battle, but Chizuru instead drains Kôta of his spiritual energy in order to keep him out of the fight.]]

* ClassRepresentative: Akane; despite her best efforts, she doesn't enforce the school rules as well as she'd like to. One can thank this on her [[CantHoldHisLiquor unable to hold her liquor]].

* LoveAtFirstSight: Chizuru claims this about Kôta. Saku, and other events, suggest something less simple and idealistic is behind their swift connection. [[spoiler: In the manga it is also suggested that maybe Kôta's hidden power or something else super natural may have something to do with this.]]

** Kôta actually gets into this too. In chapter 41, after trying to deprive himself of ecchi behavior to study for a test, saw a girl grab Chizuru's breasts and... well... [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v07/c041/10.html see for yourself]]. [[spoiler: and because he didn't get enough sexy time, he started generating a mighty aura that knocked out all the males around the school and managed to make every girl in the school want his body.]]

* MegaTonPunch: Tayura is on the receiving end of these a lot, usually from Chizuru.

* [[spoiler: {{Orochi}}: Chizuru is revealed to be the reincarnation of the Yamata no Orochi, whose power surfaces when Kôta is in danger. [[DatingCatwoman Kôta himself is the reincarnation of Susanoo]].]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: [[spoiler: They ''almost'' do prior to the final battle, but Chizuru instead knocks Kôta out in order to keep him out of the fight.]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey

* TenchiSolution: The manga starting in the middle of volume 3.
** Albeit Kôta does make it clear who he likes and wants to be with. ''Very clear''. [[spoiler:In the manga, chapter 26, he asks Chizuru to become his wife]]
** Later on in the manga [[spoiler:Nozomu does become Kôta's mistress]], what's more Chizuru no longer seems to be bothered and Kôta seems to be all for a [[spoiler: threesome]].

* SuicideAsComedy: Chizuru tried to hang-herself in Episode 9 when her breasts are magically shruken, and was just about to be talked out of it by Kouta's kind reassurance until [[{{Pettanko}} Nozomu]] grabs her chests and cheekily quips "I win!", prompting her to leap to the noose with renewed gutso.
