The Fox & Little Tanuki (Korisenman/こりせんまん in Japanese, lit. "Fox and Tanuki Ten Million") is a fantasy manga by Mi Tagawa. It was serialized in Monthly Comic Avarus from 2018 to 2023, and is licensed in English by Tokyopop.Long ago, the Kitsune Senzou, born with immense mystical power, wrought chaos throughout the land and feared little of the gods in the heavens above. For his transgressions he was ultimately imprisoned and sealed away by the Sun Goddess, laying dormant for centuries.In the present day, Senzou is finally freed and becomes eager to seek vengeance for his imprisonment, but unbeknownst to him not only has the bulk of his power been sapped away over the years, the Sun Goddess has other plans in mind for him. In order to win back his strength, Senzou is charged with raising Manpachi, a Tanuki pup born with heightened magical abilities like himself, to become a servant of the gods. Now Senzou has no choice but to swallow his pride from the days of being the great & terrible fox spirit he once was, and learn the ropes to becoming a proper caregiver in order to escape his fate. | |

Dying Race | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_1044a759 | comment |
Dying Race: Overlaps with Endangered Species - just like in real life, by the time of the story's plot wolves have become extinct in Japan, which means no more makami can be born from their spirits upon passing on. Hagiri and Chiaki are presumed to be the very last wolf youkai who'll come to be in this manner, which is why they've since started enlisting dog spirits like Tachibana into their ranks to compensate. | |

Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: Senzou is a cynical and bitter fox who's made to take the cheerful and optimistic tanuki Manpachi under his wing. Mikumo is a serious, skeptical and irritable wolf. His work partner is Tachibana, a goofy and friendly dog. | |

The Dreaded: Senzou himself is this. Though it was mostly back when he still had his powers, even in the present some characters are still intimidated by him. Shirotabi completely loses his cool the moment he sees Senzou, and orders his underlings not to fight him. | |

After restoring Senzou's memories of his true past and his friendship with the first Manpachi, he asks Senzou if he gave him the name so that Senzou could do things that he couldn't do with the human Manpachi. | |

Brought Down to Badass | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_51a485d1 | comment |
Brought Down to Badass: Senzou's De-power has largely stuck, and even when he regains his power temporarily via Manpachi's necklace he can't seem to control it anymore, so at present he can only draw out one extra tail's worth of power safely, a small fraction of what he was once capable of. But even with just that he's able to hold his own against a whole group of wolves at once, underscoring how his reputation as such a terrifying beast isn't hyperbole. | |

Not Using the "Z" Word | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_525df529 | comment |
Not Using the "Z" Word: The Sun Goddess is very clearly meant to be Amaterasu, as she is presented as Top God in the setting and her personal emissaries are roosters just like in many myths, but she is only ever called "Sun Goddess" within the story itself. | |

King of All Cosmos | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_55682078 | comment |
King of All Cosmos: The Sun Goddess is the de facto Top God who evokes reverence from almost everyone who beholds her... and who also enjoys being invited to parties, eating yakitori, and making jokes at her familiars' expense. Even her loyal underlings can't help but comment on how much of a goof she can be at times. | |

Noble Wolf | |

Noble Wolf: The wolves (and dogs) under the command of Oguchi no Makami, who worked with the Sun Goddess to put an end to Senzou's evil and continue to keep tabs on him in the present. While they are somewhat of a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits and some of them are more pleasant than others, overall they are definitely good guys. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Black and white foxes are said to hate each other, as the latter typically serves the gods while the former is reputed to work against them and wreak havoc instead. In Senzou's youth this was one reason why he was turned away by other kitsune that he sought out for help, but in the present Koyuki seems to treat him just fine, so this attitude may have gone away over time. | |

Invoked with Manpachi, whom Senzou is more or less forced to treat well in order to uphold his part of the deal to regain his powers. Though as Character Development sets in it's more by choice, as he begins to care for Manpachi simply because he wants to. | |

Mirrored Confrontation Shot: All the volume covers depict profile shots of various characters staring each other in the face. Volume 1 has Senzou on the right and Manpachi on the left confronting each other, and afterwards it's usually Senzou and Manpachi on the left, while characters who are prominent in the given volume are on the right. Volume 6 shakes things up a little by having Manpachi with Koyuki confronting two white foxes while Senzou is in the middle and way in the background looking on. | |

Cock-a-Doodle Dawn: The Naganakidori are divine chickens who serve the Sun Goddess - which is true to many myths about her in Japanese tradition - so this trope is naturally in mind. Their crowing can mark other events ordained by her as well, such as Senzou's release from being sealed. | |

Numerical Theme Naming | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_9b9d19fe | comment |
Numerical Theme Naming: Both Senzou's and Manpachi's names use older kanji for specific numbers. The "sen" in Senzou's means "thousand", while the "man" in Manpachi's means "ten thousand" which Koyuki suggested be incorporated into his name since Manpachi is "coming after" Senzou as his underling. Additionally, the "pachi" in Manpachi's name means "eight" which is a number often associated with tanuki. Senzou's "follower" Momoji even gets in on it; "momo" means "hundred" in his case. | |

Hates Being Touched | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_a6ff7243 | comment |
Hates Being Touched: Senzou definitely does. The very first interaction between him and Manpachi is him chewing the tanuki out for nuzzling him. Getting over this is one indicator for his Character Development. | |

Magical Accessory | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_b2e9c33f | comment |
Magical Accessory: Manpachi's pearl necklace, with each pearl representing a blessing from a divine being he's helped. Its effects are said to vary and grow with each pearl added to it by a different entity, and in addition it allows Senzou to temporarily regain his true form & powers. | |

Forced Transformation | |

Forced Transformation: A Running Gag involving Manpachi's transformations is that they often inadvertently effect Senzou as well. | |

Mirror Character | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_ba5bbda5 | comment |
Mirror Character: Senzou and Mikumo. Senzou had in the past been consumed by his hatred for the wolves, driving him to become the Jerkass that he is. Mikumo's hatred of Senzou had the exact same effect on him, something Tachibana lampshades at one point. | |

Big Friendly Dog | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_c78c0896 | comment |
Big Friendly Dog: Tachibana, a reiken (spirit dog) partnered with Mikumo who doesn't likely have a mean bone in his entire body and treats just about everything or everyone with a dog's enthusiasm. There's also Hagiri, who has the Face of a Thug but is of a similar disposition to Tachibana, and loves cats. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Senzou was abandoned by his parents and ostracized for being born with his powers, hunted constantly by wolves who wanted to kill him since they saw him only as a menace, and rejected from being given any form of protection even from other kitsune due to black foxes being considered evil and because he had to use his powers to defend himself. It's hard not to at least understand why he is the way he is, when nobody wanted to help him when he needed it and he has no choice but to provide for Manpachi the upbringing he never got to have. Made even worse when its revealed that Senzou wasn't abandoned by his parents after all, but they sacrificed their lives to save him (becoming reborn as Koyuki) even after newborn Senzou's powers got out of control and Yazumi tried to retrieve him. And that's before Senzou befriended the human Manpachi and got his memories altered by Gyokumen... | |

Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_d238fd9d | comment |
Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: When Manpachi successfully transforms into a human for the first time, since he hasn't had many interactions with humans, his human form doesn't include any clothes. Senzou also transforms into a human without clothes due to being forced to be in the same form as Manpachi. | |

Morality Pet | |
| The Fox & Little Tanuki (Manga) / int_e3b0cd87 | comment |
Morality Pet: Invoked with Manpachi, whom Senzou is more or less forced to treat well in order to uphold his part of the deal to regain his powers. Though as Character Development sets in it's more by choice, as he begins to care for Manpachi simply because he wants to. Backstories reveal that Tachibana was one for Mikumo, as Mikumo remarks that it it hadn't been for Tachibana, he might have turned out like Senzou. | |

Interspecies Adoption: The reason Hagiri loves cats so much is because he was raised by them as a pup before becoming a makami. Manpachi himself has essentially been adopted by foxes, Senzou & Koyuki. | |

Asian Fox Spirit: Senzou and Koyuki are both kitsune or Japanese fox spirits. Senzou was a particularly powerful one, but in the present day most of his magical power has been sapped away. Gyokumen is a more evil example, being a nine-tailed fox. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Koyuki is a kind and generous vixen who takes care of Senzou & Manpachi, all while dealing with Senzou's constant bad mood, and does it happily. She will put her foot down though, gladly chewing Senzou out for neglecting Manpachi, or standing up to the wolves for being too hard on Senzou. Manpachi and Tachibana are both total sweethearts, but they can still put up a fight if they really think it's the right thing to do. | |

Accidental Murder: What happened to the original Manpachi. Manpachi tries to convince Senzou to leave the Mitake wolves' mountain so they wouldn't be scared of him anymore, but Senzou doesn't believe him and mistakes Manpachi of teaming-up with the wolves to attack him. Manpachi tries to tell him he wouldn't, but Senzou gets influenced by Gyokumen's miasma and loses control of himself, burning Manpachi with his own flames. | |
