* VanHelsingHateCrimes: Averted. Tetsu appears to be a KnightTemplar at first, as an exorcist in a story about youkai, but when he walks Takeo home, he makes it clear that his clan distinguishes between youkai who curse out of malice and youkai who scare out of necessity. He visits her house only to confirm that they're not malicious, and once he does this, leaves them be.

* BetterOffWithTheBadGuys: Takeo is BornUnlucky to the degree that even the hundred yokai who inhabit the home she's given to live in can't shock her. However, the negative energy that's built up in her because of this is so delicious to those same yokai that they make a deal to make her cheerful, the only thing that ''can'' shock Takeo enough to release her negative energy, for as long as she can provide it and, in the process, figure out how to alleviate the curse that causes her abysmal luck.

Ready and willing though they may be, however, they are unable to accomplish their task as Takeo is completely unfazed by everything they try to do. The youkai soon learn that Takeo is cursed in such a way that severe misfortune follows her everywhere. Her first day of school alone features a falling spotlight, a car splashing water in her face, a dropped wrench hitting her in the head, slipping on a banana peel and through a window, a bird relieving itself on her, her planned living arrangements unavailable, and shipping error losing her luggage. Experiencing that kind of disaster on a ''daily basis'' means that a building filled with youkai out to scare simply is not the worst thing she's ever experienced.

* {{Lilliputians}}: Koropokkuru, a tribe of tiny people from Ainu folklore, live in the Hyakkisou, unbeknownst to its regular-sized residents. Takeo gets to interact with them thanks to a potion that turned her into a IncredibleShrinkingMan.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: This series is jammed with them, even before Von Orlok and his harem shows up.



* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: For the early portion of the series, Takeo is shown only ever wearing her school's winter uniform. In chapter 10 she explains her misfortune tends to ruin most of her other clothing. The black school uniform does not obvously stain when dirty, and its long sleeves offer some protection for her arms. The remainder of the chapter is dedicated to finding a way to weaken the power of Takeo's curse enough to allow her to dress as she likes. From that chapter on Takeo is shown waring a much wider variety of clothing.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The first pages of the manga feature Takeo being held by a huge, frightening monster with a completely neutral expression on her face. The first chaptrs go on to show that the youkai simply can not scare her no matter what they do.

* {{Youkai}}: The author did his research, bringing into the story a wide cavalcade of different demons and creatures from Japanase folklore which would make [[Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro Shigeru Mizuki]] proud!

Takeo Inou has moved to Tokyo to attend school in the city. When the dorm she was going to move into turned out to have no vacancies, the real estate agency moves her into the Hyakkisou Inn. What nobody realizes is that the name of the inn, which translates to the "Manor of One Hundred Demons", is not figurative. Within it reside a mob of youkai who are ready and willing to frighten any poor soul who moves into their home, so that in their surprise they'll release negative energy upon which they can feed.

Experiencing that kind of disaster on a ''daily basis'' means that a building filled with youkai out to scare simply is not the worst thing she's ever experienced.

In fact, as the youkai discover, the key to shocking the negative energy out of her is not fear, but happiness. Takeo has experienced so little true happiness in her life that even small moments of it can surprise her, which expels the negative energy for the youkai to feast on. Because Takeo's energy in particular is both plentiful and high quality, a bargain is struck. The youkai will let Takeo stay in their manor and work to make her as happy as they can, so long as Takeo is able to provide such delicious negative energy for them to feast on. In the process, they all hope to get to the bottom of ''why'' Takeo is cursed in the first place.

Thus begins ''Takeo-chan Bukkairoku'' by ''Manga/LoveRoma'' creator Minoru Toyoda, a story of youkai trying to make a young girl happy, which just happens to run counter-intuitive of everything they know.
