Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Overdevelopment and crowding in Japan has forced many of its indigenous spirits and ghosts to lose their homes. Due to problems caused by the homeless spirits, a new profession was created, the Ghost Sweepers (GS). Private exorcists for hire, they serve only the highest bidder to survive in the cut-throat corporate world. The Mikami GS Company, run by Reiko Mikami with her two assistants, Tadao Yokoshima and Okinu, is said to be the best.The manga and anime setup is scenario-to-scenario, with many plots intertwining classic and modern (by 1990's standards) Japanese culture, with occasional references to Western influences. In between these plots are some longer story arcs where new characters are introduced and the existing ones are developed further. There isn't one ongoing storyline; the plots are character-driven, serving to gradually develop characters, especially the main protagonists.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This manga was created by Takashi Shiina for Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine, where it was serialized from 1991 to 1999. It was later adapted into an anime in 1993 by Toei Animation, and aired on TV Asahi from April 11, 1993 to March 9, 1994 on Sunday mornings note Its time slot is currently occupied by Pretty Cure and has been since 2004 (strangely enough, Takashi Shiina's later series Psychic Squad also aired on Sunday mornings). A movie was released in 1994, which features some great swordfighting choreography, as well as some face time for most of the main characters. There was even a Japan exclusive platformer videogame that came out in 1993 on the SNES. Meanwhile the manga continued on into 1999 with 39 volumes.The anime series has a small fanbase in North America, leading Manga Entertainment to release the movie, but it received a terrible English dub; and strangely in the UK, Manga Entertainment decided to license the final episodes of the series. The Latin American dub, on the other hand, was fairly respectful and had good cast choices, helping the series reach cult status amongst anime fans (reruns probably helped).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The TV series was licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks, but the license has since expired and the DVD's have long since gone out of print. Fortunately, Toei uploaded the entire series to their YouTube channel with Sentai's translation.There is a character page, so please post character tropes there. | |

The Rival | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: Yukinojou feels this way towards Yokoshima. Yokoshima is somewhat oblivious to this, something that becomes way funnier when its revealed that both of them had dueled before...while they were children...in an RC car tournament..and Yokoshima won Reika and Emi of course And there's a story where a popular movie star shows up and Yokoshima very much threats him like this because in school he was always super popular while he kept being harassed by the girls over his friendship with him, and as a final twist of the knife, the day before Yokoshima was left the school they went to together, he had been planning to ask out the girl he had a crush on, but saw his pal making the love confession to her already. Of course at the end came the twist where the Movie Star recalled that when he made said confession, the girl had told him she actually liked Yokoshima better, and there was fierce competition. | |

Alpha Bitch | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: Yumi. What makes it worse is that she can't even stand the other students looking up to a successful GS like Mikami. Keep in mind that she's at a school where Ghost Sweepers are trained—she'd keep them from having role models, apparently. Yumi's anger in that situation came from the fact that she idolized Mikami as much any of them, and was jealous that Ichimonji was getting noticed by her idol rather than her. Her hate also stems from the fact that she went through Training from Hell since the day she was born to be a worthy successor to her ghostbusting family's name while Ichimonji apparently is just so gifted that she starts out at a point where she's already about equal to Yumi's level without needing much training. | |

| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_30a0067b | comment |
Supervillain Lair: The War-Against-Ashtaroth arc has fun with this one. The heroes are trying to figure out just where on Earth Gyakutengou has been docked for repairs, and are checking every desolate and/or hard-to-reach place for this. In reality, the bug sisters and Dogura are operating out of a cheap, cozy, unassuming house on the outskirts of Tokyo, and Gyakutengou has been shrunk to the size of a real-life Hercules beetle, and repairs itself by feeding on tree sap, just like a real Hercules beetle. Yokoshima isn't sure this is in accord with the rules of shounen manga. | |

| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_33ba37ca | comment |
Out with a Bang: After the Mephistopheles incident, Ashtaroth decided to prevent a repeat occurrence by installing several failsafes in his later created servants that would kill them if they took any similar steps. Bedding a human? Breaks failsafe #7. Once he learns about that, Yokoshima can't bring himself to bed Luciola, at least until Ashtaroth and his failsafes are dead and gone. | |

| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_35ae6a23 | comment |
Lethal Chef: The binboukami has a pretty good sense of nutrition. Unfortunately, he forgets that "nutritious" and "delectable" or even "edible" aren't always the same thing. To give an idea, the "nutritious" burger he made are later used to perform soul-body seperation, simply by biting it once. To the uninitiated, this means that the burger has the ability to make you lose consciousness in one bite. They had to use metal bats prior to that... | |

Bad Boss | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Ashtaroth. He thought little of wrecking Dogura in his fury after the loss of the energy crystal. Of course, Dogura, being a sort of golem, could be easily restored. However, he claims to have "disposed of" the bug sisters after they proved unable to find Mephistopheles/Mikami, even though he suggests that in the end, he might have been the only one who could have found her anyway. Yokoshima takes this poorly. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: The restored Medusa and Kankuro don't even last a full chapter's worth against the heroes. Actually, Kankuro didn't even last more than a page. Another version of the translation: This was justified by Luciola mentioning that the resurrected characters only come back with the strength they had when they were still alive. The heroes are much stronger at this point, so the restored spirits are pretty much just annoyances to the heroes. Nonetheless, it was cool seeing Medusa get owned by Yokoshima. Especially since it's the second time she lost to him. | |

The Beastmaster | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_48414e75 | comment |
The Beastmaster: Meiko Rokudo is a shikigami tamer and can control a full twelve of them. However, her control over them relies heavily on her own self-control...and she has essentially none due to her insecurity. Meiko's mom, however, plays it more straight. Being much more experienced and level-headed, Mrs. Rokudo can even make the shikigami drink tea with her easily. It should be noted, however, that under Meiko's wing, they only lose control when she loses it. Anyone else who has had control of them (Emi and Mikami, among others) lose control of them on the instant they are summoned. A fellow shikigami tamer who was presented as being better than her even lost control and they started to attack him after he took control of more than three. | |

Power Perversion Potential: Yokoshima uses one of his Monju beads to make a demon fall in love with him. Time will tell whether he uses it that way again. The possibilities are endless, and a Lovable Sex Maniac of his caliber wouldn't let them go untried. It happens in the very next story arc—he tries to use one to peer into the showers of a school while some of the students are in there. Only running into an emerging Okinu stops him. | |

Reincarnation | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_50f5dabe | comment |
Reincarnation: Thanks to Hyakume, Yokoshima and Mikami get to learn about the past existences of three characters. Saijou/Saigou is as straight-arrow as ever, Yokoshima/Takashima is as lust-ridden and antagonistic towards Saijou/Saigou as ever, and Mikami... was originally A FRESHLY CRAFTED DEMON NAMED MEPHISTOPHELES. Medusa pulls off a rather impressive one during the space arc. On the verge of being defeated after taking hit from both Makami and Yokoshima, she resort to a desperate tactic of kissing Yokoshima and implanting some of her essence in him. Yokoshima later spits it out where it grows into a younger (or, in his words, "fresher") version of her. And then, at the close of the War-Against-Ashtaroth arc, there's the promise that Luciola can be reincarnated early—as Yokoshima's child. For once, his lust overdrive can have good fruit, so long as he avoids the obvious problem. It is also said that in a future (which is not shown in the manga) Luciola will Reincarnate into Yokoshima's daughter | |

Lotus-Eater Machine | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_5541da8c | comment |
Lotus-Eater Machine: Mikami falls prey to one designed by Ashtaroth, Vespa, and Dogura, meant specifically to get her to lower her guard so Ashtaroth could yank out the energy crystal. One unique feature of this one: While Mikami experienced two months inside of it, only three days had passed in reality. Also, the dream-come-true that Ashtaroth used to manipulate Mikami was the resuscitation of her old, normal, ridiculously-high-profit business schedule. Actually happened several other times during the series. | |

The Casanova | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_5e2e55e4 | comment |
It makes even more sense when you consider that his father, Daishuu, is an unrepentant Casanova. Looks like he inherited a measure of that... It gets better. It turns out that Daishuu acts very much like Yokoshima does when trying to woo the woman who would be Yokoshima's mother ... and the latter acts exactly like Mikami does when rebuffing his over-the-top advances.

And then, at the close of the War-Against-Ashtaroth arc, there's the promise that Luciola can be reincarnated early—as Yokoshima's child. For once, his lust overdrive can have good fruit, so long as he avoids the obvious problem. | |

Heel–Face Turn: Yukinojou when he becomes disenchanted with Medusa's win-at-all-costs mentality, Luciola when she falls for Yokoshima and thus becomes open to the idea of keeping humanity in one piece, Papilio when Mikami explains why Yokoshima held back on her (even if Mikami's explanation was at least somewhat fictitious). | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_6439de78 | comment |
After Luciola performs her Heroic Sacrifice and gives the rest of her energy to Yokoshima, Papilio and Vespa try to collect enough "soul fragments" to revive her (similar to the way Vespa was revived), but it turns out they're not enough. Adding part of another soul is not possible, as the result would not be Luciola. They can only find one solution: Yokoshima can father a child, passing the essence and the collected soul fragments down, but he needs to do it quick because the essence is not going to be with him forever. After mentioning this, it's never brought up again for the rest of the series. For a series like this, one would think they would be able to make a clone or homunculus of Yokoshima. | |

Pure Is Not Good | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_65ad37c9 | comment |
Pure Is Not Good: Or rather, Pure Is Not Good Enough, when it comes to Marin's arts. She thinks it's enough to cleanse a place of all its current taints, but all that does is let weaker wraiths flock in with all the competition gone. In other words, the purity she induces can actually make things worse. | |

The Power of Lust | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_6a697d7a | comment |
The Power of Lust: Tadao Yokoshima has always been driven for girls and that's the main reason why he works for Reiko Mikami despite her abuse and the low payments. But later it's discovered that he has spiritual abilities that are powered by lust. They're seen for first time early on in the manga, and in one episode of the anime series, in which he serves as "spirit battery" for Emi Ogasawara. He eventually develops this power and becomes a proper ghost sweeper, even rivalizing in power with Mikami herself. | |

You Can't Fight Fate | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_7241785e | comment |
You Can't Fight Fate: Dovetails with You Already Changed the Past above, a little. Mikami points out that the reason things have gone so horribly, slapstically wrong for Ashtaroth since the Cosmo Processor was de-powered is because the universe is actively retaliating for the attempt to sway it from the shape it was trying to take and maintain from the beginning. Her example for how it works is her going back in time and assassinating Hitler. As she points out, the cosmos wouldn't let its shape be altered like that for long; it'd just arrange for the Nazi movement to re-manifest. Amusingly, in her example, the new Nazi archon was John F. Kennedy... | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Suzume, the last pixie alive, is introduced and made part of Mikami's crew for a grand total of two chapters, then is inmediately forgotten and unspoken of for the remainder of the series, with only a vague cameo indicating she's still around. After Luciola performs her Heroic Sacrifice and gives the rest of her energy to Yokoshima, Papilio and Vespa try to collect enough "soul fragments" to revive her (similar to the way Vespa was revived), but it turns out they're not enough. Adding part of another soul is not possible, as the result would not be Luciola.

Medium Awareness | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_884e513b | comment |
Medium Awareness: Not to the point that the Fourth Wall is non-existent, but it happens quite a bit. Some notable examples include Mikami snarling that Yokoshima's lasciviousness is pushing the boundaries of shounen manga; commenting that she's gone the course of the manga without killing anyone living (and that she wouldn't mind interrupting that if she gets to take down Medusa and/or Kankuro); and engaging in a singing contest with a siren using the anime's opening song. There's even a point where Yokoshima disparaged the author, who immediately sends down a bolt of lightning to fry him, on a sunny day, and in broad daylight. The frequency rises somewhat as the series goes on. | |

No One Could Survive That!: Mikami thinks that Ashtaroth is finally out of her hair after he and Vespa get pounded with a swarm of nuclear missiles that Papilio called back. However, the fact that Hyakume still isn't getting any better makes Saijou think that this isn't the case. There's also the scene of Dogura (who admittedly thrives on radioactive material anyway) making its own escape... | |

Ret-Gone: Dr. Chaos tried to feed a P.E.T. poison that was supposed to do this to Mikami. Yokoshima was hit instead, and his history was steadily erased from present to past. It was only stopped when his history regressed to his being a months-old baby, and a five- or six-year old Mikami passed by, cooed at the adorable kid, and kissed him on the cheek—a repeat of the Accidental Kiss that was seared into his memory just before getting poisoned. That repeat of "fate" undid the poison's effects. | |

Lovable Sex Maniac | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_9cdef1ef | comment |
Lovable Sex Maniac: Yokoshima, but you can't blame him, Yokoshima's a typical 17-year-old guy with a healthy libido, and it doesn't help that Mikami is a hot and sexually attractive 20-year-old. It makes even more sense when you consider that his father, Daishuu, is an unrepentant Casanova. Looks like he inherited a measure of that... It gets better. It turns out that Daishuu acts very much like Yokoshima does when trying to woo the woman who would be Yokoshima's mother ... and the latter acts exactly like Mikami does when rebuffing his over-the-top advances. Yokoshima's probably just taking a few notes from his parents' experience. Mikami was, quite understandably, disturbed. Later on, it turns out that Yokoshima's past life, Takashima, was a womanizer on par with Daishuu. If you were a woman in Heian-era Kyoto, no matter your class, Takashima was probably interested in you. | |

Murderous Mannequin: In Chapter 38 and Episode 33, a youkai takes a mannequin as body when, for aesthetic reasons, it's placed on a pentagram that under a certain angle of light completely throws off the feng shui of the store. The mannequin goes on the run, donning various disguises and turning whoever it can into non-living mannequins. (In the anime, it specifically targets the ghost sweepers.) Mikami manages to destroy it with Okinu's help. | |

Action Mom: Mikami's mother, she can even travel through time! She has appeared in the war-against-Ashtaroth arc....and has shown that her methods are quite...unethical, to put it mildly, showing to be willing to go to any length to defeat Ashtaroth. Even willing to at least consider killing Mikami if she can't get strong enough, and actually going through with a strategy that involves sacrificing Yokoshima's life. Granted, she couldn't quite bring herself to finish it, but... And later on Yokoshima's, even Mikami admits she more then a match for her. She apprehends a planejacking terrorist in her first appearance, raise the stock value of the company she works for just by showing up, and outfoxes Mikami into revealing her feelings for Yokoshima...well, almost. | |

Omnicidal Maniac: Ashtaroth, who considers the whole cosmos to have been rotten with death and decay from the start, and so plans to not merely conquer the cosmos, but erase and rewrite it to match his (in his eyes) rot-proof will. Although, Mikami had called him out a bit ''before'' he uttered as much, after sensing that intent in the galaxy egg. "You're no different from an immature child who hates school and thus decides to burn down his school!" | |

My Beloved Smother: Yokoshima's mother, Yuriko. She's a general Control Freak who will not suffer anything to not go her way. This includes Yokoshima not wanting to live with her or Daishuu, and him working with Mikami. Thing is, she's actually one of, if not the most rational person in the series, as admitted by Mikami herself. There's a ridiculously short supply of rational thought and behavior in the manga. | |

Training from Hell | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_d66cd0e6 | comment |
Training from Hell: Apparently par for the course for Touryu exorcists. It seems to be a big part of why Yumi acts like she does—she can't stand the thought that all her effort and suffering were somehow unnecessary, if compared to the likes of Okinu and Ichimonji. Then there's what Michie puts Mikami through in order for her to be able to defeat Ashtaroth and Dogura... Before that there was Shouryuuki and Hanoman's training...though the latter consists of playing a fighting game for months on end. It's the test after that latter training that constitutes the "hell" part. | |

Calling the Old Man Out: Yokoshima gets into quite a scrap with his father early on—he's sick to undeath of Daishuu's philandering (remember that Yokoshima is actually honest about his overagitated sex drive), and his trying to trick Mikami into his bed is the last straw. This kind of confrontation also happens with Mikami, whose past life Mephistopheles was created/"fathered" by Ashtaroth. | |

Talking the Monster to Death: The fate of Yodogawa, an author ghost who isn't defeated by Mikami, but rather a female author who had tagged along with them. Both authors get into an argument on writing styles (Yodogawa sounds like he takes after Yukio Mishima while his name is based on Edogawa Ranpo, Anna is general popular mystery-thriller) and Yodogawa exorcises himself when he finds out how many books the female author sold, proclaiming "Literature is dead!". | |

You Already Changed the Past | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_e9e2c54d | comment |
You Already Changed the Past: This seems to be Shiina's preferred understanding of time travel for this series. Spoilered examples from various points in the manga: Mikami saving Yokoshima from getting skewered by Nuru; present Mikami interfering with Ashtaroth recapturing his super-demon's power core from her past life Mephistopheles; and present Mikami using forgetfulness monju to make herself and Yokoshima forget about the arrival of future Yokoshima, complete with his revelation that Yokoshima and Mikami will marry in the future. The point about this last bit is that present Mikami did that to prevent herself from deliberately sabotaging her eventual marriage to Yokoshima because Future Mikami had written a letter to her past self impressing upon her how happy she was with the wedding; not to mention that she didn't seem to cure herself of the poisoning that necessitated her husband to time travel back into the past to save her in the first place (and the memory erasure prevented her from knowing about it until they discover it in the future), and Future Yokoshima is the only person who can time travel of his own volition. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that small changes to the past can occur, but will inevitably be reversed almost at once. So not so much as a single, unchanging, infinite, strand of thread as a single, unchanging, infinite thread with a few knots here and there. Multiple lines at a point, but still the same single chain of causality. | |

You Killed My Father | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_fb6b207f | comment |
You Killed My Father: Why Shiro is pursuing Inukai, even though the inukami elders think exiling Inukai would be both commensurate punishment for him and for harmful-to-nature humanity. | |

With Friends Like These... | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_fdbd6162 | comment |
With Friends Like These...: At least, with regard to how Okinu thinks that Mikami and Emi are friends, and their fervent business rivalry is actually fueled by it. No one else seems to share her opinion, though. Least of all Mikami and Emi. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: After Meiko temporarily shreds her shyness to save Mikami from a Lotus-Eater Machine, Mikami pets the exhausted Meiko and decides for once to care more for her than for the money prize. She's also shown to care about Yokoshima a lot more than she'll ever admit. | |

Perpetual Poverty | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_ffb1df90 | comment |
Perpetual Poverty: Dr. Chaos is the epitome of this. No matter what he does to try to get his rent money, it backfires on him. Kobato and her mother were also caught in this, until Yokoshima lifted the curse attached to the binboukami. It's taking some time to properly wane, though. Yokoshima also suffers from this, due the absurdly low salary Reiko pays him, though that seems to be changing after he developed his own spiritual powers. | |

Death Seeker | |
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami / int_fff371b4 | comment |
Death Seeker: Believe it or not, this was the whole intent behind Ashtaroth's schemes—to get himself killed, at least if he couldn't make it impossible for himself to ever be held as a villain. It doesn't help he thought that the latter would be inevitable so long as the god/demon equipoise persisted.) Later on, there's Kimihiko Amatsuga, a man who's cursed with uncontrollable telepathy—he can't avoid reading others' memories, and it is agonizing. He finally finds a way to die meaningfully when he uses his telepathy to draw the demon Tubular Bell into himself, expecting Michie and Karasu to kill them simultaneously. Not that it happens this way, since Kimihiko is Reiko's future father... | |
