YMMV / Urara Meirocho

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: At the end of the eighth episode, Chiya promises her help and support for Kon in overcoming any obstacles, however their interaction and the surrounding atmosphere are so strongly romantic that it looks like a vow of loyalty to the beloved.
  • Fridge Horror:
    • Meirocho appears to be a City of Adventure at first, but it's heavily closed off and divided into sections, with apparent severe penalties for those who try to enter areas they're not allowed to...so would the same apply to a diviner who tries to leave? So is the town designed to keep ordinary people out...or is it designed to keep psychics in?
    • Further supporting this is Koume's backstory: the witch who taught her made a big deal out of keeping her powers secret, and immediately left once she was found out, apparently due to fear from the neighbors. So while Koume loves the adventure of Meirocho, did she really come of her own accord? Or did her parents send her there because they were concerned for her safety...or did somebody else send her there because they don't want psychics running amok around Muggles?
  • Genius Bonus: A few for readers familiar with Japanese folklore and traditions. In chapter 2 (or the second half of episode 1), Kon's Kokkuri sheet is shown; while most readers will note its resemblance to an Ouija Board, sharper-eyed readers will see that the hiragana is arranged in the traditional iroha ordering (suiting the setting) as opposed to the modern gojuon sequencing.
  • Les Yay: Harikamo made a lot of yuri doujinshi before this, and results of the combination between this and Manga Time Kirara is obvious.
    • The "friendly" relationship between Chiya and Kon is so often on the border of sexual tension that most of the scenes between the two are similar to Ship Tease. For example, more than half of the scenes of their conversation include themselves romantic glances to each other's eyes or gentle touches.
    • Saku and Nina practically lives like a married couple, despite Nina complaining she's becoming an Old Maid. And that's not to mention the fact that Saku has two fangirls in love with her, who constantly discuss her sexuality.
    • When Ko'ume talks about her older friend from childhood, she says "this person, whom I hate and love the most in life."
  • Moe: Par for the course of a manga series published in Manga Time Kirara Miracle!.
  • Narm: Although this was clearly intended for fanservice, the constant undressing of girls and the open focus on Les Yay can become quite intrusive and ridiculous.
  • Woolseyism: The name of the spirit in Ko'ume's Dowsing Device. The original name is Yureru, from the Japanese word for swaying, but Sentai Filmworks calls her Cadence while a fansubbing group calls her Undulette after the English verb undulate.
