History Literature / Kanokon

[[caption-width-right:350:Left to right: Chuzuru, Kôta, and Nozomu.]]

* BigEater: Don't let Nozomu's petite figure fool you. She has quite the ability to [[IncrediblyLamePun wolf down]] large quantities of food. The first time we see her, she's gorging on meat, and in one of the OVA's, she eats a whole watermelon by herself.

** Chizuru's a rare female example of this trope. In addition, Nozomu's quite willing to join in if it means [[IncrediblyLamePun outfoxing]] Chizuru. Her lust is supported by Japanese mythology though, where fox yôkai were noted for, among other things, their beauty and desire to seduce humans. Chizuru of course reserves all of her sex mania for Kôta. Being a centuries old virgin probably adds to her sexual frustrations.

* PantyShot: You'd be [[IncrediblyLamePun hard pressed]] to find a scene that doesn't feature this.

''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.

* BarelyThereSwimwear: The original crowner for the page was Nozomu's outfit in the BeachEpisode -- which was literally Three bandaids.
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Minori Mitama, who called Kôta "onii-chan" and can perform a FusionDance with her servant to transform into a male bat-winged demon, appears to be this, although she is only a pawn for the [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness Eight Houses of Kuzunoha]]'s leader, Shiki Mitama.]]

* ChocolateOfRomance: In an OVA DVD, Chizuru is trying to figure out what kind of chocolate to get for Kouta for Valentines day, her various ideas being a chocolate bar wedged inbetween her breasts, chocolate molds of her breasts, and finally, a chocolate bikini, which Kouta is to eat off of her. She just ends up giving him a traditional box of chocolates.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Whenever Chizuru and Kota are caught in a compromising position, which happens at least OncePerEpisode, Kota is the one who gets blamed even though Chizuru is the one who started it and Kota was constantly saying "No" and "Stop".
%%* {{Ecchi}}: Just look at the page picture.

** [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v01/c005/13.html Chizuru]]. She hilariously captures some students, ties them up, and forces them to taste test some food for her. Interestingly, while the three female students pass out, apparently the two ninja girls enjoy the food.

** 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.]]

* MagicalGirlfriend: ''Two'' magical girlfriends, in fact.

* OneHitKill: In the surprisingly well done action sequences, Kitsune Kouta often does this.

** In chapter 30, Chizuru makes the famous ''Franchise/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]].

* SleepCute: Chizuru, Kôta, and Nozomu do this [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v07/c034/24.html in chapter 34]]. It's a very sweet moment between the three of them, especially when you see that both Chizuru and Kôta are holding Nozomu close. Then [[ClassRepresentative Akane]] decides to [[MomentKiller interrupt.]]
* SuicideAsComedy: Chizuru [[DrivenToSuicide tried to hang herself]] in Episode 9 when her breasts are magically shrunken, and was just about to be talked out of it by Kouta's kind reassurance until Nozomu grabs her chests and cheekily quips "I win!", prompting her to leap to the noose with renewed gutso.

* TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:Despite being the head of the Eighth House of Kuzunoha, Natsumi Tataraya equips Kouta with armour and weapons to rescue Chizuru.]]

* TopWife: The end of the series establishes [[spoiler:Chizuru as the OfficialCouple and girl that will marry Kouta. TheStinger, however, has Nozomu return and state that she'll settle for being TheMistress and Chizuru agrees to it.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kanokon_blanket.png]]

The series later got a two-part OVA taking place in the summer months, as well as a wide variety of fanservicey extras on the [=DVDs=].

* AccidentalMisnaming: 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.]]

* BiTheWay:
** In Chapter 34, the ninja twins ask permission to suck on Chizuru's breasts. She makes noises of enjoyment and comments, "It's been a while... since a girl did this to me..." Then Kôta asks, "Been a while!?" and she laughs a bit nervously.
** Nozomu is unopposed to threesomes as long as they involve Kôta, and engages in one with him and [[spoiler:Natsumi Tataraya]] in Chapter 45.

** Despite living is an expensive penthouse apartment, Nozomu SleepsInTheNude ''on the floor''.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Whenever Chizuru and Kota are caught in a compromizing position, which happens at least OncePerEpisode, Kota is the one who gets blamed even though Chizuru is the one who started it and Kota was constatly saying "No" and "Stop".
* {{Ecchi}}: Just look at the page picture.

* EroticEating: Chizuru and Nozomu. You can probably already guess how and why.
* {{Fanservice}}: Take a drink every time you see a fanservice shot. Or don't. Your liver would probably appreciate it.

* TheGlomp: Chizuru. Full stop.

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Scene getting boring? No worries, because Chizuru will probably strip soon, just in time for Kôta to get blamed for it. Unless he doesn't, in which case Nozomu will show up, already naked, right afterwards.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kanokon.jpg]]

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: In the manga, [[spoiler:it is averted. Kôta admits that he likes Chizuru and is not above doing perverted things with her in private, although he does need some coaxing]].

* PettingZooPeople: About half the cast.

* 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 Nozomu grabs her chests and cheekily quips "I win!", prompting her to leap to the noose with renewed gutso.

* BoundandGagged: Happens enough to the girls on this show. Played for laughs (and fetish fuel) mostly.

* MarshmallowHell: Within the first five minutes, no less! Chizuru even lampshades this by demanding Kôta beg to be spoiled when she does it after a certain point. As the series goes on it actually becomes [[MarshmallowHell Marshmallow Heaven]] for Kôta and, believe it or not, makes for a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming or two when she uses it to relieve him from his stress. To the point that in chapter 41, [[spoiler:one week after he decided not to do anything sexual with Chizuru until the exams, he ''jumps with a mad expression and bloodshot eyes'' when he's teased a bit too much with Chizuru's breasts. Yes, he's literally ''addicted'' to them!]]

* 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 Nozomu grabs her chests and cheekily quips "I win!", prompting her to leap to the noose with renewed gutso.

* GuiltyPleasures: Does this series even ''need' an explanation?

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Minori is revealed to be a partially succesful attempt to create a vessel for Susanoo. Kôta was the successful vessel.]]
* [[spoiler: BabiesEverAfter: Chizuru and Kôta have a daughter at the end of Chapter 47.]]

** [[spoiler: TokenGoodTeammate: Despite being the head of the Eighth House of Kuzunoha, Natsumi Tataraya equips Kouta with armour and weapons to rescue Chizuru.]]

* BiTheWay: In Chapter 34, the ninja twins ask permission to suck on Chizuru's breasts. She makes noises of enjoyment and comments, "It's been a while... since a girl did this to me..." Then Kôta asks, "Been a while!?" and she laughs a bit nervously.
** Nozomu is unopposed to threesomes as long as they involve Kôta, and engages in one with him and [[spoiler: Natsumi Tataraya]] in Chapter 45.

* BoobsOfSteel: Chizuru's a very powerful yôkai, as well as a very busty one. These attributes are definitely related. The plotline of episodes 9 and 10 is the sealing of her power and her attempts to regain them. More importantly, Chizuru barely notices her powers being gone the entire time -- it's the sudden lack of cleavage she's utterly freaked out by.

* CanNotSpitItOut
** Akane (in the manga), who returns Tayura's feelings but is too shy to say anything. ([[AdaptationDistillation This is dropped from the Anime for time.]])

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale

** Also, Tayura is on the receiving end of a lot of Chizuru's attacks.

* EmergencyTransformation: In a pinch, Kôta and Chizuru can merge, turning Kôta into a ''male'' kitsune with absurd power, temporarily. Fortunately, it's not permanent. [[spoiler:Although Kôta is gaining kitsune powers while human, which leads Chizuru so think that their merging will eventually turn him into a yôkai.]]
** [[spoiler: It turns out that the "''kitsune''" powers Kôta manifests are actually those of the Yamata no Orochi, which is why his tails tend to appear as serpentine heads.]]

* '''{{FANSERVICE}}''': Take a drink every time you see a fanservice shot.
** Or don't. Your liver would probably appreciate it.

** [[WeirdnessMagnet What do]] [[LoveAtFirstSight you mean]] [[MagicalGirlfriend "strangely"]]?

* [[HornyDevils Horny Youkai]]: Horny doesn't begin to describe Chizuru. And judging by her reputation, her mother seems even worse, which is saying a lot.

* LethalChef: [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v01/c005/13.html Chizuru]]. She hilariously captures some students, ties them up, and forces them to taste test some food for her. Interestingly, while the three female students pass out, apparently the two ninja girls enjoy the food.

* LovableSexManiac: Chizuru's a rare female example of this trope. In addition, Nozomu's quite willing to join in if it means [[IncrediblyLamePun outfoxing]] Chizuru. Her lust is supported by Japanese mythology though, where fox yôkai were noted for, among other things, their beauty and desire to seduce humans. Chizuru of course reserves all of her sex mania for Kôta. Being a centuries old virgin probably adds to her sexual frustrations.

* NaughtyNurseOutfit

-->'''Tayura:''' Wait a sec. Why was there a nurse's outfit conveniently handy?\\

** We also get to see Asahina in a "nurse's outfit" (read: cosplay-style) in Episode 4. She's not too happy about it.
** And of course there is [[spoiler: Yukihana's]] job as the new school nurse!

* NotSoAboveItAll

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

* ReiAyanamiExpy: Nozomu

* ShoutOut

** Also in chapter 30, Chizuru makes the famous ''Franchise/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]].

* SleepCute: Chizuru, Kôta, and Nozomu do this [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanokon/v07/c034/24.html in chapter 34]]. It's a very sweet moment between the three of them, especially when you see that both Chizuru and Kôta are holding Nozomu close. Then [[ClassRepresentative Akane]] [[MomentKiller decides to interrupt.]]

* UnluckyEverydude: Poor, poor Kôta.

* WeirdnessMagnet: Kôta
* WeirdnessCensor
** Chizuru uses a magic barrier in the middle of the street to ensure no one will interrupt her as she attempts to [[BlackComedyRape hold Kôta down and have her way with him]]. Kôta kisses Chizuru with the purpose of intentionally fusing with her. This upsets and saddens Chizuru who at that moment was overjoyed that Kôta had taken the initiative to kiss her, but it provides Kôta an opportunity to explain to her about why he is hesitant about simply randomly having sex.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: [[spoiler: They finally consummate their relationship in Chapter 47.]]

* Fundoshi: Ren and Ai, in their {{Ninja}} garb.

* FlashStep: Kôta can move with inhuman speed when necessary to dodge Chizuru's more overt advances. The way she'll attempt a MarshmallowHell Attack on him, only to grab thin air as he instantly appears behind her, is strangely reminescent of DragonBallZ-style combat...

** In chapter 30, when Chizuru asked Ai and Ren why they didn't tell Akane the truth when she saw them holding on to Kôta's tails when he was fused with Chizuru, they tell her that they thought of them as a hero of justice from fusion while doing the fusion dance pose from ''DragonBallZ''.

* {{Ninja}}: Yukihina, and later Ren & Ai.

* BigEater: Don't let Nozomu's petite figure fool you. She has quite the ability to [[IncrediblyLamePun wolf down]] large quantities of food. The first time we see her, she's gorging herself and in one of the OVA's, she eats a whole watermelon by herself.

* BigEater: Don't let Nozomu's petite figure fool you. She can [[IncrediblyLamePun wolf down]] large quantities of food.

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