Seaside Maid Cafe in the Maruko Shopping District at first glance seems normal. Maybe too normal; except for its waitresses wearing maid uniforms, it's a regular coffee shop (it doesn't even serve tea). But its staff is rather odd: Hotori Arashiyama aspires to be a detective, Toshiko Tatsuno is a perfectionist, and Uki, the owner, is an old woman with an unusual voice.Business is slow, too: three regular customers from the neighbourhood, Hotori and Toshiko's classmates Hiroyuki Sanada and Harue Haribara, and their sempai Futaba Kon are apparently the only clients of the joint. But worry not: Hilarity Ensues.How many Slice of Life shows feature Special Guest appearances by Egyptian gods?And Yet the Town Moves (Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru) is a Seinen manga written and illustrated by Masakazu Ishiguro. The manga was serialized in Sh�nen Gah�sha's Young King OURs from 2005 to 2016, with sixteen bound volumes by the time of its completion. The anime adaptation by Studio Shaft aired during the Fall 2010 Anime season. | |

And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Hotori's class is only able to get sign-ups for the Sports Festival when she places Tatsuno in the running for the bread-eating portion of the obstacle course. The boys recognized that she'd be jumping up and down multiple times, and then started to pick events that wouldn't get in the way of their watching Tatsuno participate. Their efforts were in vain, as Hotori running off to save what she thought was Kon getting blown away makes the class substitute Tatsuno for her, while Hotori takes her place in the bread race. | |

Girls Have Cooties: The reason Sanada and Hotori stopped hanging out as kids is because he recognized her as a member of the opposite sex, and tells her they can't play together anymore since she has cooties. Sanada really regrets saying that now... | |

Distant Finale | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_3318a1cb | comment |
Distant Finale: "Epilogue" presents itself as a look into the lives of the characters ten years after the current story, but in reality was the result of Hotori adding a backstory to her "make a room you'd live in" assignment. The most obvious give away is the fact that Hotori has a successful detective agency, but other than that it's surprisingly plausible. The real epilogue takes place a couple of years after the main cast graduates high school. Not much has changed in the shopping district, but Hotori eventually started submitting mystery novels to the publisher Shizuka works at, and wins an honorary mention for her book Shadow Town. | |

Beach Episode | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_44f6517d | comment |
Beach Episode: Hotori and Kon decide to go to the beach during the summer break. The former waddles to the latter's house with a swimming floaty and waits for her for so long that she falls asleep. When they finally get to the beach, a huge water wall falls upon her, and takes her swimsuit bra with it. Hotori is amusingly more distressed about having lost her floaty than about her toplessness. Kon rushes to cover her with her hands and tries to cheer her up. | |

Mistaken for Index | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_4582525e | comment |
Mistaken for Index: Mistaken for Dog: Josephine, the Arashiyama family pet, is actually a Tanuki they all think is a dog. It takes Kon laughing about the absurdity of putting her on a leash for Hotori to get the picture. Subverted when we see where she came from; she really is a dog, albeit one that has fur looking like a tanuki's. It's implied that she'll look more canine once she becomes fully mature, as can be seen by Hotori's aunt's similar looking dog. Mistaken for Pedophile: Moriaki, when Hotori attempts to get his attention in a crowd by pretending to be his student lover. Everyone else assumes he's creeping on a middle school kid due to how young Hotori looks. Mistaken for Romance: While Hotori does have a crush on Moriaki for a while, and sometimes does things that would make anyone else think they're a couple, the one time it backfires on her specifically is when Nanami Mizoguchi assumes they're having a Teacher/Student Romance, and attacks Hotori for "achieving" what she could not as a student. | |

Butt-Monkey: Arai. If anyone gets in trouble or is the recipient of comedic hits, it's going to be him. Out of all the child characters, poor Maki gets hit with this trope a lot. He's the scapegoat for the class, the subject of his girl classmates' mockery, and is usually ditched whenever Takeru gets involved with Eri. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The final chapter ends with Hotori rushing down the school hallways, crying about how she can't think of an ending for her class' play. Fitting, since the story similarly ends with a few loose character arcs and is rather inconclusive as noted in No Ending below. | |

Achievements in Ignorance: Haribara and many of her middle school acquaintances couldn't get through to Kon, especially after an incident in middle school closed Kon off from people. While many see an invisible "wall" that can't be surpassed, Hotori, with her lack of knowledge concerning Kon's backstory and her earnest attempts to befriend her, ends up the closest person in Kon's inner circle. | |

The Seven Mysteries | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_5f6b941c | comment |
The Seven Mysteries: Takeru and Yukiko's elementary school has one in particular that comes up in the story: a creature called "Messie" that lives in their Nature Pond. Most kids think it's a Stock Ness Monster, which the janitor encouraged by saying that a dinosaur lives in there, but the truth is that it was actually a shape made out of the algae...at least until we actually see it, where it resembles a bipedal algae monster. Later on, Hotori investigates an old Film Club video that referenced the Seven Mysteries of her high school some 26 years ago. One of the mysteries, a well a student died in, becomes the focus of the chapter due to the fact that there was no well on the modern campus. | |

Henpecked Husband: "Day of Josephine" has the titular pet come to this conclusion, seeing Mr. Arashiyama as the lowest on the family totem pole. For what it's worth, Mr. Arashiyama thinks so as well. Chapter 29 only justifies his opinion more, as he has an allowance his family takes from without his permission, and any opinion he has is instantly drowned out by the rest. Hotori's older neighbor Shizuka discusses this with her. She jokes that since boys like to pick on girls when they're young (referring to Sanada), it's only fair that they eventually get wrapped around girls' fingers when they're older. | |

Once More, with Clarity: Takeru had once spotted Hotori with her nose in his jersey in middle school, causing him to think she had a crush on him. When we see that same scene at the end of the chapter, Hotori turned out to have been sneezing on the jersey. She didn't know who it belonged to and went into the room on a whim. Episode 10 of the anime starts with Sanada praying to a shrine, and ends with that same scene from the perspective of the ghost Zenji. | |

She decides to "decapitate" it to weld it to a fancy-looking magnifying glass. When her uncle asks her to visit him during the summer break, she freaks out, especially since she just learned how expensive the pen is. She submits an In-Universe Troperiffic detective story to a writing contest with a 5 million yen prize. She predictably doesn't pass the first round of examinations and, with how nice her uncle seems to be, it doesn't seem as if would mind her creating a magnifying pendant. However, in her despair over the news, she doesn't notice an incoming truck and ends up in a coma due to a brain injury. When she recovers, she tells to her uncle that the pen got destroyed in the accident — which it didn't. | |

And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_77d826c7 | comment |
Stern Teacher: Moriaki-sensei is a rule-stickler and leaves not even minor offenses pass without, at the very least, a scolding. His lectures can be quite long, to the point of sometimes causing The Ditz Hotori a headache. When he discovers Hotori and Toshiko are working at the Maid Cafe after school, he lectures them about the school's proper process for sanctioning such activities (which they haven't done, nor they plan to). He is so serious, not even Toshiko's Meidojutsu sways him. | |

From Bad to Worse: Hotori and Kon's beach day starts off normal, but then Hotori pops her new floatie. Then a freak storm rolls in. Then Hotori gets swept away and her bikini top lost within the waves. When the girls board up until the storm clears, Kon offers to buy her curry—only to find out that the kitchen is closed. Hotori's loud, childish crying says it all. | |

Close-Knit Community: The Maruko Shopping District is fairly intimate with one another, with many of the shop owners knowing the customers and buying from each other's stores. Played for Drama in Volume 8, which implies that their getting closer is the result of business slowly dying thanks to supermarkets becoming more common. | |

And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_7a82c3d2 | comment |
All Love Is Unrequited: It's nothing serious and romance isn't exactly the most important thing in the series but: Toshiko has a crush on Hiroyuki, who has a longstanding crush on his childhood friend Hotori, who seems to have a thing for their homeroom math teacher Mr. Moriaki, who frowns on the idea of a student/teacher relationship as immoral (and who would probably shoot himself if he had to deal with Hotori for the rest of his life). Two teachers outside of the love line, Mizoguchi and Nishi, also have unrequited crushes on Moriaki. Takeru and Eri may be the only exception. | |

However, outside of it, she secretly likes him and forces him to take her on a date, throughout all of it hitting him when he doesn't call her the right name and forcing him to buy her ice cream. The only upside is that she gave him playing cards near the end of it. | |

Pun: Hotori attempts to replace "maido!" (Osakan for "thank you!") with "meido". Toshiko and the Head Maid aren't amused. Hotori receiving a flower in the Japanese afterlife originally had her getting a kushinashi (gardenia) only because "dead men tell no tales". In an English translation, this was changed into receiving a daisy because she's pushing them up now. Either way, she pummels the official who tells her that joke. Lame puns in Japanese are "cold puns". Now you know what Kon was talking about in Episode 3. | |

They were ultimately successful, if only for Takeru taking advantage of Hotori's slip-up and making it look like he'd chased Santa out of the house trying to catch him. | |

Going by the penultimate chapter, this universe may be a result of Hotori wishing herself out of existence. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: Moriaki, upon seeing that Hotori won't put any effort into math unless she relates it to detective stories, uses those as a basis for recontexualizing problems. One montage later, and Hotori has finally answered all of her questions...only to come up with nothing for both her metaphorical "case" and her work. Chapter 40 opens with the Arashiyama siblings fretting over their burned house. The rest of the chapter explained that it wasn't the family home that burned down—rather it was Josephine's doghouse, which caught fire due to her putting an active sparkler inside among other flammable items. Chapter 130 shows Hotori overjoyed at finding her number on a college board, but the chapter reveals that the number is Kon's and she was the one that got in. From the same chapter, we're led to believe that Kon is leaving the country after she graduates, but after the move we see her with her parents in Japan. She turns out to have moved to the town over. The last chapter seems to be a followup on the one before it, with all of Hotori's classmates discussing residual memories of a girl they can't remember. It looks to be the aftermath of the world after Hotori erases herself from existence, but in reality they were rehearsing for their third year class play. Hotori is very much alive, and she was even the one who wrote the script. | |

Extra Eyes: One chapter dealt with Hotori and Moriaki discovering the truth behind an unusual painting. The one Moriaki had on hand was of a man with three eyes, which was allegedly a self portrait of a gambling addict painter. When they figured out the man made multiple portraits and had them split among his three kids, they also learn that most of the portraits are of him with multiple eyes corresponding to the number of each face of a die. Putting the paintings under a black-light reveals that the paintings have even more eyes, as a means of being the numbers to open a safe. | |

However, it doesn't catch on due to the locals being desensitized to Hotori's usual antics. | |

Feminine Women Can Cook: Hotori, arguably the most tomboyish of the female cast, is absolutely horrible at cooking, and the best she can do is make food good enough to fill one's stomach but not to taste. "One or Eight II" has her try to make a house special with the male shop owners, and none of them can get it right. In contrast, Toshiko, who's more feminine, is a much better chef than her. Played with near the end, as Kon is also a decent cook. | |

Indirect Kiss | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_a33ff511 | comment |
Indirect Kiss: Sanada anticipates this from Hotori when she gives him her lunch and used chopsticks to eat them. He never gets the chance to use the sticks, since Hotori bumps him into a mud puddle where the sticks dropped. To signify the end, Sanada gets a successful, accidental indirect kiss when Hotori mistook her coffee cup for Sanada's cola cup. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The "And Yet the Town Moves" two-parter (adapted into the last episode of the anime) has quite a few. It starts out with the typical comedic tone and ends with everyone in Hotori's life grieving over her when an accident renders her comatose. To a lesser extent the manga version of the incident begins just as silly, but we turn up on scenes of the Arashiyama family grieving only in the middle of an otherwise sweet but funny journey through the afterlife. Chapter 31 starts out with Hotori on a one-on-one date with Sanada to find a soba restaurant he went to when he was younger, then suddenly goes serious as he reveals it was one he went to after his mother died. Hotori spends the rest of the chapter making a soba dish for him in memory of that event, but the dish is so bad that he goes home to puke, sending the story right back to comedy. | |

Celibate Hero: Moriaki's as celibate and disinterested in relationships as they come. Chapter 25 shows that even when prompted to test if he can see his love's initials in his coffee, he can only think of π. However, for the volume 9 cast introductions, he's shown not being adverse to the idea of a relationship if he and his partner can mutually improve each other. | |

Giving Radio to the Romans: As part of a peculiar Compound-Interest Time Travel Gambit, a man from two hundred years into the future began distributing a "Crunchy Goo" candy he liked from a closing sweets shop and distributed it everywhere he could. The snack proved popular enough for interest to drum up, but too hard to be reproduced by regular current day cooking; obviously someone managed to do it before 2310, as when he comes back to his home time the snack is commonplace. | |

Town with a Dark Secret: The residents of Shikohone act especially suspicious towards outsiders, and are always watching them when they visit. They also refuse to answer any direct questions about the village and try to hide a major secret from them until they trust them enough to stay with the village. Subverted, as it's a perfectly normal prefecture. | |

Sadistic Choice | |

Sadistic Choice: Chapter 136 features one. A higher dimensional being, completely out of random, selects Hotori as the choice maker for whether or not a typhoon will hit Kanto and destroy part of the region. It posits only two options—press a button to avert the disaster, but at the cost of your own existence; and don't press it, but be a part of a natural disaster to the tune of 3000 dead and over 10,000 involved. Hotori chooses to erase herself and press the button, which is implied to have created the "Fantasy Novel" universe. To be fair, it's not entirely self-motivated and the being wasn't trying to be malicious about it. | |

Shout-Out | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Some middle schoolers ask if Hotori was impersonating Beat Takeshi when she shouts "Are you an idiot?!" at them. While trying to make a unique new flair, Hotori does something similar to a Vulcan salute, which happens to be an "M" for "Maid". Hotori takes a ride on a borrowed scooter she personally names "Tetsuo". "Help me, Muriyaki-sensei!" comes from a little known show about psychic powers called Night Head Genesis. In the anime, some of Josephine's scene transition quotes are shoutouts to other franchises: Josephine Joestar, JoJo! (I Always Wanted to Say That.) They're coming outta the goddamn walls! It's the Konami Code! Tsukiko and Hotori play Resident Evil in Chapter 36. "Buyoujin! Buyoujin! Buyoujin! Jin! Jijin! Jin! Lets go!" from the Ori Raji comedy duo. At the beginning of Episode 9, Shizuka has just finished reading The Gift of the Magi. Kon, Haribara, and Tattsun all agree that Hotori's face, overpreparedness, and huge backpack remind them all of Doraemon and his Fourth Dimensional Pocket. There's also the Magnifying Glass, one of Doraemon's more infamous toys. The three arrows of Moori Motonari was referenced in Akira Kurosawa's Ran. The arcade in the afterlife features such games as King of Angels 1994 and Puni Puni. Among the words Uki tries to entice Hotori and Shizuka with is "Biscuit Hammer". Takeru once has a fever dream about Eri and two of the store owners posing as a traditional Time Bokan Terrible Trio. It's more than likely a Yatterman reference, as Eri (much like Donronjo) professes her love for Takeru, the protagonist of the dream. Throughout both the manga and the anime, Bruce Lee often comes up. Hotori tries to imitate him in chapter 66, and the opening references her and Arai's attempt to swing nunchucks in his style. A crying child refers to Hotori as "Pooh Bear" for her goofy face resembling a bear mascot's. A poster of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is displayed in the local movie theater. In a popular MMO Hotori plays, there exists an old guild called The League of the Hawk, originally led by a guy named Griffin. The volume 7 Author's Note features a picture of Hotori bursting through the dental clinic's sign in a manner reminiscent of Astro Boy. Due to Hotori's love of the mystery genre, there's quite a few shout outs to mystery: "Meitantei Yukiko" Shunsaku's cellphone's ringtone comes from the famous 70s/80s cop drama Taiyou ni Hoero! (Bark at the Sun!). He also calls his boss Yagurama Yama-san, the nickname of a major recurring character on the show. Hotori's desperate pleas to be a part of Hiroto-sensei's next novel has him internally remarking that the situation will "turn out like Misery". When Hotori gets her clothes wet, she starts acting out references to the Akakabu-kenji mystery novel series. | |

Mundane Afterlife: The Japanese afterlife. There are other afterlives that are shown, such as the Egyptian afterlife, and many of them are exactly as described.

Hotori receiving a flower in the Japanese afterlife originally had her getting a kushinashi (gardenia) only because "dead men tell no tales". In an English translation, this was changed into receiving a daisy because she's pushing them up now. Either way, she pummels the official who tells her that joke. | |

Storm in a Teacup | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_cc7e0946 | comment |
Storm in a Teacup: "Pandora Box": Zigzagged when The Ditz Hotori discovers Kon's birthday. They are celebrating Toshiko's birthday two days earlier at the Maid Cafe when an excited Hotori starts asking for everyone else's b-days. There's no problem until Kon, who Used to Be More Social, says it's not a big deal and tries to change the topic. Hotori rummages through Kon's purse for her student ID in a careless (although ultimately well-intentioned) impulse. It turns out, Kon's birthday is the 8th of September, aka today. The mood plummets and Hotori tries to make up for it by sweeping back the confetti back into the cone and throwing it again. She then sings "Happy Birthday", offers Kon to buy her a gift from the candy store, and promises to throw her a party next year because she's memorized the date. Fed up, Kon yells at her to stop with the pity party. Some days later, when things have calmed down, it's implied that Kon does acknowledge Hotori's earnest efforts and they resume their usual dynamic. "And Yet the Town Moves": Initially Played for Laughs but then Played for Drama and subverted. Hotori's uncle gifts her a Montblanc fountain pen, which she keeps calling a fountain pendant, upon entering high school. She decides to "decapitate" it to weld it to a fancy-looking magnifying glass. When her uncle asks her to visit him during the summer break, she freaks out, especially since she just learned how expensive the pen is. She submits an In-Universe Troperiffic detective story to a writing contest with a 5 million yen prize. She predictably doesn't pass the first round of examinations and, with how nice her uncle seems to be, it doesn't seem as if would mind her creating a magnifying pendant. However, in her despair over the news, she doesn't notice an incoming truck and ends up in a coma due to a brain injury. When she recovers, she tells to her uncle that the pen got destroyed in the accident — which it didn't. | |

Mistaken for Romance: While Hotori does have a crush on Moriaki for a while, and sometimes does things that would make anyone else think they're a couple, the one time it backfires on her specifically is when Nanami Mizoguchi assumes they're having a Teacher/Student Romance, and attacks Hotori for "achieving" what she could not as a student. | |

Porn Stash: Turns out that Sanada's room has piles of books on this material... and even more on his hard drive. He deletes the digital ones so that Hotori could use it for design class, but she only wanted to scan a picture, meaning she never would have looked at his digital collection, and then stumbles on his physical stash anyway when she knocks it over looking for a book she lent him. | |

Spooky Photographs: The official that shows Hotori around the afterlife explains why the trope even exists in this universe— it's a silly photo booth that can edit any picture with hands or special effects as long as you know the name of the person whose photos you're messing with. Apparently the "ghost hand on shoulder" cliche is one of the cheaper options. | |

"Eureka!" Moment: "Wait! What if you think of it as more than a painting...?" (See Extra Eyes below) In Chapter 29, after lamenting that she doesn't have a map, Hotori suddenly has the smart idea of looking at the "antique" drawing she uses for the treasure hunt as the actual map for it, remembering that the branches on the picture look exactly like the placement of the rivers on the map of the town. The only branch with a flower on it then becomes their destination. | |

But so does Hotori, and Moriaki-sensei. The ping pong rematch between Haribara and Tatsuno. | |

A Million Is a Statistic: Invoked during Chapter 136. When the higher dimensional being informs her that 3000 people will die as a result of an incoming typhoon, Hotori first asks it if anybody she knows (including she herself) will be caught up in it. It doesn't answer, forcing Hotori to consider erasing herself without the bias of her loved ones' survival clouding her judgement. Ultimately, she decides to pull her Heroic Sacrifice, due to her thinking about how her family would take a tragedy of such an epic scale regardless of if they survived or not. | |

Yuki-onna: Chapter 35's mysterious traveler, Yuki Onda, is one. She wears traditional clothing, can't stand heat, only drinks cold water and seems perfectly fine in the freezing weather, and nearly fainted when a priest chanted prayers over her. She also seems to be immortal; the chapter centers around her looking for a man she met in the summertime, but when she finally sees him she learns it's been 30 years since her last visit—and he's become quite old while she didn't change at all. | |

Call-Forward: Chapter 84 features Sanada recounting the story of the ramen shop he visited when he was younger as part of a conversation on mysterious childhood circumstances. Hotori brushes this off, saying she can't solve two mysteries at once— which she won't until Chapter 31, chronologically. From the same chapter, Yukiko gets lost following a mysterious boy around thinking he was Takeru, and leaves the family Nintendo DS on an engine before leaving. This is the set-up for her acorn pranks earlier in the manga. | |

Expy: Hotori shares a lot with Tomo, with a dash of Osaka. And looks like Yotsuba&!'s Fuuka. Add to this a teacher that looks like a long-haired Kimura with his mouth shut and the occasional use of very familiar face expressions and it seems like someone is a fan of Kiyohiko Azuma. Also Toshiko looks like Yomi. | |

Five-Man Band Concert: The waitresses of the Maid Cafe and Haribara form a band for the School Festival in chapter 8 (21 in the manga) with the song "The Maids". Of course, all of them are in their French Maid uniforms. All four girls are vocalists (three backing and a lead) but play different instruments: Boke Hotori with the accordion, Tsukkomi Toshiko with the violin, Haribara (a regular customer with Large Ham tendencies) with the drums, and their grumpy Senpai Kon with the guitar. Played for Laughs because the song's lyrics are nonsensical — one line is literally "Come on, Mammoths!". The makeshift band is featured in the ending theme, "Madis Sanjo!", and in the cover art◊ of the album. | |

Joshikousei: It's not really a schoolgirl story, but Hotori, Toshiko and Kon are definitely of this variety. | |

Cool Big Sis: Hotori shows she can be quite the adventurous sister towards Takeru, bringing him out at night to explore the town in a completely different environment. Their relationship dynamic is on the more realistic, down-to-earth and wholesome examples. | |

ZigZagged | |

"Pandora Box": Zigzagged when The Ditz Hotori discovers Kon's birthday. They are celebrating Toshiko's birthday two days earlier at the Maid Cafe when an excited Hotori starts asking for everyone else's b-days. There's no problem until Kon, who Used to Be More Social, says it's not a big deal and tries to change the topic. Hotori rummages through Kon's purse for her student ID in a careless (although ultimately well-intentioned) impulse. It turns out, Kon's birthday is the 8th of September, aka today. The mood plummets and Hotori tries to make up for it by sweeping back the confetti back into the cone and throwing it again. She then sings "Happy Birthday", offers Kon to buy her a gift from the candy store, and promises to throw her a party next year because she's memorized the date. Fed up, Kon yells at her to stop with the pity party. Some days later, when things have calmed down, it's implied that Kon does acknowledge Hotori's earnest efforts and they resume their usual dynamic. | |

Don't Explain the Joke | |

Lame puns in Japanese are "cold puns". Now you know what Kon was talking about in Episode 3. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Kon goes on a tangent explaining why her parents aren't home often and why her house has so many foreign objects in it. All Hotori got out of it was...Kon being a quarter English. | |

Brick Joke | |
And Yet the Town Moves (Manga) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: The Spooky Photographs. At first, we learn that there are machines in the afterlife that perfectly edit existing photos on Earth to include any old haunting picture, which Hotori wants to use to scare Kon. At the end of the escapade, Kon looks at an old photo of her and Hotori confirming the photo was indeed made haunted— but it's Hotori who gets the creepy hand behind her, not Kon. | |
