History Manga / MagicalCircleGuruGuru

* PubertySuperpower: [[spoiler: Inverted with the Guru Guru magic. which can only be used in childhood.]]

* {{Reboot}}: The third series is this for the first two series, this time adapting the entire first manga.

* AxCrazy: Juju becomes one whenever she unleashes her magic against her enemies.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: [=Juju=] and her combat altar, which aids in her spellcasting and even allows her to see far distances to target her spells.

* MomentKiller: Gipple. He finds heartwarming moments legitimately sickening and actively works to kill immediately.

* NonSequitur: Juju likes to write random phrases on sheets of paper whenever she is bored.

* AssKickingPose: Parodied with Nike's "Cool Pose." It's an actual ability of Nike's, but it doesn't do much except let him float and look cool.

* BlackMage: Kukuri is this in ability, but a WhiteMagicianGirl in personality.

* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: This presumably happened to Kukuri at the end of the series, since she lost her ability to use Guru Guru as soon as she reached adolescence.]]

* ClingyJealousGirl: Kukuri really hates it when Nike ogles at other girls.

* CoolSword: Kira Kira, Nike's magical [[LightEmUp light sword]], can transform into [[ElementalPowers one of the four elements]], provided that he has been properly acknowledged by the four Elemental Kings.

* TheDitz: Kukuri starts out as this, coming up with such ideas like the king must be a giant because of the size of his castle and sticking coins on her face because she doesn't know what money is for.

* FluffyTamer: Kukuri, most notably on Level 4 of her Training Tower. She's expected to tame a fearsome tiger and it's taken her months to get past the tests before this one. She's got the beast giving her rides before her guide is finished dancing. She also starts calling her single most dangerous summon, an EldritchAbomination that summons lightning, "Li'l Behm Behm".

* GeometricMagic: Guru Guru magic relies on Kukuri's tracing of magic circles to function.

* IneptMage: Downplayed with Kukuri. Although she can usually cast Guru Guru with no difficulty, there are times where she would screw it up, especially early in the series, accompanied with weird creatures popping up. In the first series, [[spoiler: after ten failed Guru Gurus, she is transformed into [[CuteMonsterGirl her demon form.]]]]

* KiddieKid: Kukuri is 13 years old, but usually acts and sounds more like an 8-year-old at most, occasionally throwing tantrums and having a liking for cute things and [[SweetTooth sweets]]. It doesn't help that she is [[OlderThanTheyLook drawn much younger than her age]], especially in the first and second series.
* KleptomaniacHero: Subverted as Nike turns out to be thief class.

* SmittenTeenageGirl: Kukuri, especially after she sees Nike for the first time after they couldn't see each other for six months due to her Guru Guru training. Interestingly, she just turned 13 at this point.

* SweetTooth: After Kukuri discovers chocolate, which her grandma kept away from her all her life. The fact it helps restore MP gives her an excuse to indulge.
* SwissArmyTears: Weaponized by Kukuri with [[spoiler: the World Fixer Guru Guru to undo [[TakenForGranite Donkama's petrification curse.]]]]

* WhiteMagicianGirl: Kukuri, sweet and bubbly as she is, has the personality, but is a BlackMage in ability.

* InconvenientSummons: In the special, Kukuri used a Guru Guru to summon Toma so she, Nike, and Juju can ask him for help about a spell. Unfortunately for Toma, he was just about to take a bath.

** At the end of the first series, [[spoiler: as soon as they got to the door leading to Giri's chamber, Kukuri and Nike then decided to go back to their home realm and deal with Giri later on so [[SideQuest they can go on more adventures.]]]]

* NonCombatEXP: Nike and Kukuri were only seen leveling up outside battles, such as when they drank a potion given to them by Wanchin and after Nike touched the troubled-looking cat. [[spoiler: this might explain how they got to [[BigBad Giri's]] realm at such a [[LowLevelRun low level.]]]]

* RetCanon: Some plot elements, such as the Cool Pose, Kukuri's love for chocolate, and [[spoiler: Kukuri's devil form]]originally appeared in the first anime series and were later incorporated into the manga, though in a different context, as the manga wasn't finished when it first aired.

* SmittenTeenageGirl: Kukuri, especially after she sees Nike for the first time after they didn't see each other for six months due to her Guru Guru training. Interestingly, she just turned 13 at this point.
