* InnocentlyInsensitive: Alice has a habit of playfully chastising her dolls for mistakes in spite of knowing she controls all their movements. This comes back to bite her when she does this with the now-living Hourai for [[spoiler:damaging Medicine, which Alice assumed was just her house's automated defenses acting up rather than Hourai willingly trying to protect her. Alice trying to become friends with Medicine also crushes Hourai because her treating Medicine as alive and not showing the same concern for her own dolls comes off very differently when said dolls actually ''are'' alive now.]]

''Omoito'' is a four-part ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' doujin created by [[https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/258411 Morino Hon (もりのほん)]]. It is available translated on [[https://dynasty-scans.com/series/omoito Dynasty Reader]].
Alice's lesser doll Hourai, through circumstances yet to be found out, comes to life one day. With Alice kept in the dark and only a select few knowing about her newfound sentience, Hourai wishes to maintain her prior relationship with Alice while still being able to get closer to her as an individual... [[CerebusSyndrome Until things get more complicated.]]
----
!!''Omoito'' provides examples of:
* AccidentalPervert: Marisa rips a drawer out of out of Alice's shelves to protect herself from Hourai, but it turns out to have been her ''underwear'' drawer and Alice arrives to find Marisa covered in discarded underwear. Since Alice won't believe that Hourai is alive, Marisa has to say that she just likes Alice's underwear.
* BittersweetEnding: At the end of ''Vier'' and ''Omoito'' as a whole, [[spoiler:Alice's grimoire is resealed and Alice and Hourai reconcile, but Hourai is sealed into the grimoire, with all of Alice's dolls returning to inanimate objects. However, the final few pages imply Shangai regained her sentience, with Hourai II sharing her original self's memories for her apparent awakening.]]
* BlatantLies: Marisa tries to hide from Hourai by going into Alice's room and hanging up a sign reading "Marisa is not here". Unsurprisingly, this just signals to Hourai about where to go.
* BookEnds: The start of ''Eins'' and the end of ''Vier'' have [[spoiler:Hourai awakening with memories of Alice as a child]].
* CerebusSyndrome: The first two parts are lighthearted comedies while the later two are much more drama-heavy.
* DownerEnding: ''Drei'' ends with [[spoiler:Hourai becoming convinced Alice does not really care about her and running away]].
* ExactWords:
** Patchouli tells Marisa to return the books she stole, and she says her usual "I'm borrowing them until I die'' excuse. Alice tells Patchouli to just let it rest.
** Yuuka tells Alice when asked that she doesn't know of any autonomous doll. [[spoiler:When accused of lying due to clearly knowing about Medicine, Yuuka clarifies that Medicine is a doll that became a youkai, not a doll designed to be autonomous, so she wasn't lying]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** After Hourai ends up dropping a piece of Alice's roof on Marisa's head, Alice playfully chastises Hourai, despite not knowing Hourai is alive and still thinking she is in control of all of her dolls, and then admits to Marisa that she sometimes doesn't know what she's doing. [[spoiler:This habit ends up biting her later when she playfully chastises Hourai for protecting her from Medicine.]]
** Alice mentions to Yuuka that she's seen an autonomous doll before, but it's made apparent she still hasn't found out Shanghai and Hourai have come to life. It's because she's talking about Medicine Melancholy.
** When Yuuka first enters Alice's house, she starts randomly searching around. [[spoiler:It is revealed later she was looking for her grimoire]].
* HateAtFirstSight: Hourai decides she hates Marisa and Shanghai immediately upon meeting them.
* IAteWhat: Yuuka becomes concerned when she hears the black tea Alice gave her was made by Marisa with mushrooms and asks if it's safe to drink. Alice doesn't know, so Yuuka demands Alice drink it instead.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Marisa uses one of Alice's drawers to swat away Hourai. Unfortunately, it turns out to be Alice's ''underwear'' drawer and Marisa has to explain why she was found with Alice's underwear everywhere.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Shanghai's special ability is to summon large shields. Hourai isn't satisfied since she won't be able to fight back against threats to Alice, so Marisa tells them to work together if needed.
* PokemonSpeak: Before gaining sentience, Shanghai only "speaks" by saying her name.
* RedOniBlueOni: The short-tempered and abrasive Hourai serves as the red oni to the sweet-natured and gentle blue oni Shanghai. Fittingly, the covers of ''Eins'' and ''Zwei'' color Hourai and Shanghai red and blue, respectively.
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:Due to Hourai being sealed in the grimoire, Alice makes another doll to call Hourai. Marisa calls her "Hourai II", which Alice objects to, suggesting she wishes to consider the new Hourai the same as the old one. Hourai II awakening with the original Hourai's memories suggests this isn't too far off.]]
* SecretKeeper: Marisa is the first to discover Hourai gained sentience. Patchouli learns about it in ''Zwei'', even if Marisa tried to hide it.
* SneezeCut: Yuuka asks Alice about the strange-tasting tea she brought, and she explains Marisa made it with mushrooms to Yuuka's horror. Back at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Marisa sneezes and tells Patchouli that she's sure that [[{{Irony}} Alice is talking about how delicious her tea is]].
* SpoilerCover: ''Drei'' features Medicine Melancholy on the cover, a character who doesn't appear until the end of said part.
* SpottingTheThread: Patchouli walks in on Marisa talking to Hourai, and Marisa tries to hide Hourai's newfound sentience by saying she was just admiring how well-made the doll is. Patchouli seems convinced until she leans in closer and notices how Hourai's magic is different from Alice's other dolls.
* WallOfText: Alice and Patchouli's conversation about the limits of one's magical power is represented by a single bloated speech bubble so the audience shares Marisa's bewilderment.
