Princess Jellyfish (Kuragehime) is an award-winning josei manga by Akiko Higashimura, which was serialized in Kiss from 2008 to 2017. The manga is licensed in English by Kodansha USA. It has an anime adaptation by Brains Base as part of the noitaminA block, where it aired for 11 episodes from October 15 to December 31, 2010. Funimation simulcasted the series on their video portal and later released it as a box set.Tsukimi, an extremely shy and self-deprecating 18-year-old illustrator, has been fascinated by jellyfish ever since her now-deceased mother took her to an aquarium when she was young. To her, they're everything she isn't—beautiful and graceful. While jellyfish-watching at a pet shop, she sees a spotted jellyfish in the same tank as a moon jellyfish, a death sentence for the former. Overcoming her fear of stylish people (and men), she tries to talk the clerk into moving the spotted jellyfish to another tank. Apathetic to the plight of this nerdy girl, the clerk just ignores her and Tsukimi gets into a fight with him over it. Things are looking bleak for Clara (the spotted jellyfish) when a fashionable girl intervenes and talks the clerk into giving them the jellyfish.The mysterious "princess" follows Tsukimi back to the "Nunnery", the boarding house she shares with a bunch of fellow nerdy otaku girls, and ends up sleeping in Tsukimi's room. This dreamy girl, however, is not all that she appears...A Live-Action Film Adaptation was released in 2014, starring Masaki Suda of Kamen Rider Double fame as Kuranosuke, and Rena Nonen as Tsukimi. A live drama version started airing in January of 2018, running for ten episodes.A Character Page is now in the works! | |

Romantic Fake–Real Turn | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_18349726 | comment |
Romantic Fake–Real Turn: Shoko Inari pretends an (aggressive) romantic interest in Shū, to use his political influence to advance a real estate project. She realizes (after he's seen through her wiles) that she has fallen for him. By this point Shū distrusts her completely, so no relationship ensues. | |

Sibling Rivalry | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_19209d54 | comment |
Sibling Rivalry: Averted for the most part. Despite both dealing with the pressures of being in a political family, having different mothers and both of them having feelings for Tsukimi, there's little ill-will between the two brothers beyond some clashing induced by their different interests and personalities. They actually get along decently well and rely on each other for help and advice. | |

Astronomic Zoom | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_1c7bed9f | comment |
Astronomic Zoom: An inversion happens when Kuranosuke says something inconceivable to our heroine: "Because I wanted to see you, Tsukimi." Those words echo in Tsukimi's mind as the camera gradually zooms out from the building, to the city, to the globe, to the whole solar system, showing just how mind-blowing that is for her. | |

Fairytale Motifs: Specifically princesses, and there are various references to Cinderella. Kuranosuke muses that he's like Tsukimi's Fairy Godmother. And he proceeds to angst how the Fairy Godmother is never in a position to get together with the princess. | |

She Cleans Up Nicely: Tsukimi, after Kuranosuke's extreme makeover. Later the rest of the Nuns, save Chieko, too. Kuranosuke actually has a good reason for not making over Chieko. In a roundabout way, he says she's the only one who doesn't really need his help. We always knew Mayaya just needed to ditch those bangs. | |

Even the "normal" people have strange obsessions: Shū's driver is obsessed with cars to the point where he drove off a girlfriend, Kuranosuke is obsessed with fashion (but not in any practical way — he wants to start a fashion line without knowing how to sew or even knowing anyone who knows how to sew), Kuranosuke and Shū's dad loves women of all ages and demeanors except disgusting cross-dressers like his idiot son, the freaking prime minister of Japan seems to wish he was a teenage girl, and Inari appears to have based her life around business women mangas from the Eighties. | |

Wholesome Crossdresser | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_28f852ea | comment |
Wholesome Crossdresser: Kuranosuke, though he denies it and says he's just "interested in female fashion". That's one of his reasons for cross dressing, the other being ruining his image to avoid being railroaded into a political career by his family. And the third, revealed late in the series, being a desire to connect with his absent mother, who often gave him pretty things and showed off her dresses to him; not to mention a half-subconscious belief that, if he had been born a girl instead of a potential heir, his mother might not have left/been separated from him (the anime leaves the exact nature of her departure unexplained). | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: When asked for "her" name, Kuranosuke responds with "Kura...ko," mentally lamenting how fake the name sounds. In Japanese, a male name can be made female by adding "-ko" or "-mi" to the end, much like adding certain suffixes works in English (e.g. "-ette" or "-ina"). To put it in perspective, it'd be like a boy named Joseph giving his name as "Joseph...ina. Josephina." | |

Succession Crisis | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_2d768e2d | comment |
Succession Crisis: Downplayed but a form of this is a cause of some of the drama in the series. The Koibuchi family is a political family and because they intend on keeping it that way, they view it to be an asset to have more than one child to follow in their footsteps. However, this thinking is part of what led to Kuranosuke being ripped from his mother's care at a young age, despite him being an illegitimate son. Kuranosuke is resentful of this and it serves as one of the reasons for crossdressing, since it rebels against convention. The fact that privately, Kuranosuke's father and uncle both believe that Kuranosuke's personality is better suited to politics than his brother Shū, does not help. | |

Super Window Jump: Parodied. Tsukimi tries this once in the anime, and twice in the manga; Kuranosuke pulls her back inside the first time, the second time she succeeds but it's a very short drop. Mayaya eventually tries this in the manga, too, but is also pulled back. Mr. Koibuchi, of all people, jumps through a window to get into Kuranosuke's room! | |

Beautiful All Along: Tsukimi, though Kuranosuke believes that everyone falls under this trope. Mayaya is extremely self-conscious about her height, lack of curves, and evil-looking eyes. Kuranosuke points out that many fashion models are tall and boyish with fierce eyes, and Chieko adds that "if all the chubby people in the country heard you talk they'd beat you to death". | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Nisha. She constantly tells Kuranosuke and Tsukimi that they're idiots and her idea of encouragement is to tell them that she basically wants to watch them fail, but she's really trying to help since neither of them knows anything about the fashion industry. The most obvious sign she's on their side is the fact that she didn't trick them into buying loads of expensive fabric. | |

Intergenerational Friendship: Somehow a friendship of sorts seems to have developed between Shū and Kuranosuke's mother, Lina. Shū is the one who Lina directly contacts to procure a copy of the Jellyfish dress Kuranosuke wore, and he ends up delivering it to her in person. They also chat amicably and regard each other with a surprising fondness considering Lina's history with the Koibuchi's. | |

Kuranosuke explains that since Chieko almost exclusively wears kimono, putting her next to the other Amars with makeovers makes her look fancier in turn. | |

Mukokuseki | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_4b44e74b | comment |
Mukokuseki: Averted. The only character with non-traditional (natural) Asian features is Kuranosuke, and it turns out this is due to him having a white biological mother. His half-brother Shū looks decidedly Japanese, as do the rest of the characters. Interestingly in-universe the only thing that's commented on as being 'un-Japanese' about Kuranosuke's appearance is that his eye color is too light. | |

Recursive Crossdressing | |

Recursive Cross Dressing: What the amars think "Kurako" is doing although they quickly get confused when "she" is outed as a cross-dresser ("But if she's a girl forced to be a man in public why is she dressing like a girl to proclaim she's a man in front of the TV cameras...?"). Amusingly enough this occurs on a meta level as well, as Mitsuki Saiga (a woman) is playing a man (Kuranosuke) who's crossdressing as a woman. | |

Artistic License – Animal Care: While the author clearly knows quite a bit about jellyfish, in real life they need to be kept in special, typically round or cylindrical aquariums with a current to keep them drifting around and not stuck on the bottom or in a corner, and even a small desktop jelly tank would usually cost more than the $200 Tsukimi invested. | |

Rule of Symbolism: Lots of mirror-gazing and watching behind glasses and glass windows going on. In episode 1, when Tsukimi is walking home with Kuranosuke, she looks at the beautiful "princess" in admiration. Then Tsukimi sees their reflections side by side in a store window, and sighs at how plain she is by comparison. Later in the same episode, Tsukimi looks in her mirror when she tries on the "princess's" wig, and proceeds to muse on the subject of beauty and princesses. | |

Sibling Triangle | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_a09f3a65 | comment |
Sibling Triangle: Between Tsukimi and both Koibuchi brothers, with Tsukimi and Shū having mutual crushes and Kuranosuke developing feelings for Tsukimi after trying to set her up with his brother. Unlike what you'd expect, the brothers don't form an overt rivalry over this due to Shū being extremely naive with relationships and Kuranosuke doing his best to deny and suppress his personal feelings, including any hints of jealousy. Things get as far between Tsukimi and Shū for Shū to ask her to marry him, but Tsukimi ends up turning him down, because she decides she wants to focus her energy on the Jellyfish clothing line for the time being. When Shū suggests that Kuranosuke is part of her reasoning, Tsukimi is able to admit that she thinks of Kuranosuke as "my princess", and that she wants to make clothing for him to wear. Beyond that however, what her feelings are towards Kuranosuke remain ambiguous. | |

Imagine Spot | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_a7382a73 | comment |
Imagine Spot: A lot of characters tend to do this, but Shū's are most notable; he likes to imagine himself in romantic situations with an extremely idealized version of Tsukimi, which the manga refers to as "Shū-Shū's Delusion Corner". | |

Agent Peacock: Kuranosuke is this, albeit a more realistic than usual version. He is, for the most part, a Wholesome Crossdresser who can out-female most of the cast but never pretends to be a woman (except in front the of the men-fearing women of Amamizukan so they don't reject him). | |

Odd Friendship | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_a94eaaa4 | comment |
Odd Friendship: Aside from the aforementioned, the series is loaded with some unusual relationships. Of particular recent note, comes Shū and Kuranosuke's mother, who have unbeknownst to Kuranosuke, been in contact with each other. Despite her having part in Shū developing a fear of romantic relationships, Shū seems to regard Lina with fondness and follows through with her request to obtain a copy of the Jellyfish dress her son wore, even delivering it in person. Lina, on her part, treats Shū kindly and even decides to confide in Shū some of her reasons for why she left, and also what her plans are for the future. | |

Mirror Character | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_ba5bbda5 | comment |
Mirror Character: Tsukimi and Kuranosuke turn out to be rather similar in a few respects, despite their wildly different personalities and social statuses. Both of them have strong emotional attachments to their mothers, who left them early in life (Tsukimi's mother passed away and Kuranosuke was put into the care of his father's family); they both often address their mothers when doing soul searching. They both have also on separate occasions mistaken each other for their mom's while in an inebriated state. They both recite the phrase 'every girl is born a princess', although Tsukimi has doubts about it being true. Finally, both of them find direction for the Jellyfish clothing line when they individually realize they want to make clothing for the sake of the other members of Amamizukan, rather than just for high end fashion. | |

Relationship Sabotage | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_bbdafd63 | comment |
Relationship Sabotage: Mostly subverted. Kuranosuke always helps Tsukimi get ready for her dates with Shū, but due to his own feelings, he occasionally has small moments where he slips and says something to potentially deter Tsukimi from continuing to go out with his brother. Ultimately he holds himself back from elaborating on his thoughts and lets her do as she wants, while internally kicking himself for opening his mouth in the first place. | |

But the most prominent example would be Inari going apeshit on her assistant just because the poor guy suggested she-Kuranosuke's a 'real knocker'... | |

Shout-Out | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The OP is Shout-Out central, with nods to Sex and the City, Star Wars, Singin' in the Rain, Mary Poppins, Emperor of the North, God of Gamblers, James Bond, Game of Death (or Kill Bill, your choice), The Graduate (Elaine!!!!!), and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Mayaya is a huge Otaku for Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and as such she frequently quotes from it and compares various people and situations to characters and moments in the novel. Tsukimi sees herself as Heidi helping Clara in one Imagine Spot. Barbie, used straight as a symbol of unattainable beauty. Vicks VapoRub, a popular product in Japan. Back to movie references: Kon Ichikawa's The Burmese Harp in the last episode. In episode 8, Kuranosuke's erratic heartbeat, eating the yokan, and falling out of a chair sideways is a direct send up to L's death scene in Death Note. In episode 9, Inari goes Pegasus from Saint Seiya when told Shū is a virgin. Kuranosuke manages to trick Chieko and Jiji into thinking he's a girl raised as a boy (even he can't believe it worked) when he refers to The Rose of Versailles and starts dressing as Oscar. Kuranosuke wearing a long blonde wing with hair in the shape of a bow à la Lady Gaga. A plane shown at an airport at some point or another had what appeared to be Yoichi on it. The music and facial expressions in Inari's rant in the seventh episode of the anime seem to be a stylistic pastiche of FLCL. The second Eye Catch involves the word "Tequila", a reference to the song by The Champs of the same name. The manga has quite a lot of shout-outs of its own, with the names of the chapters being references to films and the characters often making references to Japanese pop culture. | |

Corner of Woe: The Nuns go into this whenever someone violates some rule or asks some question on the "Top 5 Things You Shouldn't Do in the Presence of/Ask the Nuns" (as helpfully pointed out by Clara, usually). | |

Would Hit a Girl | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Shū proved that if you push him too far, he will retaliate. Though, admittedly, the victim completely deserved it. He later apologizes, which throws Inari and ruins her blackmail scheme speech. | |

Anger Born of Worry | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_f4b1129f | comment |
Anger Born of Worry: The one time we see Shū get well and truly angry is when Inari pretended she was going to commit suicide as a joke. He actually hits her for it. When she sees that he was genuinely worried about her, she starts to develop real feelings for him. | |

Running Gag | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Generally, Kuranosuke saying something shocking and Tsukimi "mishearing" it as three other words. The Amars turning to stone as a defensive mechanism whenever they have to interact with men or stylish people. Kuranosuke accidentally using "ore" as a first-person pronoun (calling himself "boy" in the dub) in front of the other Amars, and Tsukimi trying to distract them from it by singing. Chieko being the only one of the Amars not to get any kind of makeover, even when the "makeover" is just throwing shawls and nice hats on the others. Kuranosuke explains that since Chieko almost exclusively wears kimono, putting her next to the other Amars with makeovers makes her look fancier in turn. | |

Gender Vocabulary Slip | |
| Princess Jellyfish (Manga) / int_fecf11cc | comment |
Gender Vocabulary Slip: Kuranosuke slips into the "ore" pronoun, but since he's so good at cross-dressing, he still passes as a bokukko (with a bit of help from Tsukimi, see below). In the English dub, he gets away with calling himself "boy" a couple times because Tsukimi keeps shouting "OH BOY" before launching into a nonsensical song about what they are doing at that moment. | |

Nisha is Indian but speaks fluent Japanese (with an Osaka accent) since her ex-husband was Japanese. | |
