History PlayingWith / MagicalGirlfriend

** Mary appears to be an angel to Bob at first, but she's actually a demon in disguise. Perhaps one of the really [[HornyDevils horny]] kind.

** Mary turns out to be just a stage magician who wears an angel costume for her act.

* '''Straight''': Mary is an angel that has come to earth to fight evil. She meets the lonely Tom and they strike up a burgeoning romance while he helps her kick ass and save the universe.
* '''Exaggerated''': Mary is actually the goddess of the realm, but finds herself strangely attracted to Tom's [[HumansAreSpecial quaint mortal charm]].

** Tom is close friends with Mary. They never take the relationship further.
** Tom is BadassNormal who fights demons but he still need Mary's super natural power to finish them off. They [[BattleCouple fight together.]]
** Tom and Mary have UnresolvedSexualTension that never gets resolved, ever.
* '''Justified''': Despite being a ButtMonkey, Tom is really a NiceGuy. Being an angel, [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Mary values his kind heart]].

** Mary is a {{hotblooded}} {{tsundere}} who meets Tom, a timid angel sent to earth to learn to fend for himself.
** Mary is a [[ShrinkingViolet Shy and troubled]] girl who meets the angelic Tom, who falls in love with and [[DeclarationOfProtection protects her]].

** Mary befriends Tom and uses a relationship with him as a cover for her existence on earth, but doesn't care about him.

* '''Parodied''': Mary and Tom love one another, but their mutual misunderstanding always ends up causing wacky hijinks and physical violence.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Mary falls from the sky and Tom is convinced she's an angel sent to him to help him deal with how little of a life he has. He takes her into his apartment and nurses her back to health; by the time she's better, it's become clear she is in fact no angel. However, by this time, they've grown on each other and so much wacky stuff has happened that they decide to stick with the facade - and one wacky adventure ''does'' turn Mary into an angel. But the thing is that angels lose their powers if they fall in love...which turns them into ''cupid''s and Mary's new duties cast a fresh light on their relationship.
* '''Averted''': Angels either don't exist or stay in heaven where they belong. Tom gets over his fantasy of the perfect girl and meets somebody nice.

** When a demon attacks Mary in her human disguise, Tom tries to help her despite his visible fear of the demon, and gets injured in the process. So Mary looks after him for a while.
