Sakura-Shinmachi, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, Japan. The one town where humans and youkai can coexist. The gateway between this world and the Otherworld, the dimension from which youkai originally came. Protecting the town are Hime, Sakura-Shinmachi's superpowered high school girl mayor, and Akina, an "ordinary human" who holds the power to send youkai back to the other dimension and runs the Hiizumi Life Counselling Office to help keep them in this one. Along with their friends—the employees of the Life Counselling Office, mind-reading satori Ao and the embodier of words, Kotoha; Kyousuke, Hime's oni assistant, and Touka, Kyousuke's little sister—they protect the town from threats both external and much closer to home. In between hanging out like normal teenagers and eating copious amounts of ramen. Helping out are Yae, the nun-outfitted katana-wielding Land Goddess of Sakura-Shinmachi; her older brother Yuuhi, the dirty old man in a young boy's body Land God/Mayor of Setagaya Ward; his cosplaying immortal assistant, Mariabelle, and Juli, the nurse-outfitted youkai doctor idol of Sakura-Shinmachi. Yozakura Quartet is full of deep characterization, puzzle-piece plots, slice-of-life comedy, and more heartwarming moments than you can shake a stick at.Debut manga of Yasuda Suzuhito, character designer of Kamisama Kazoku, Devil Survivor, Durarara!! and a large amount of Digimon games since Digimon World Re:Digitize. The manga began serialization in Monthly Shounen Sirius in 2006. It received an anime adaptation in 2008, which went into production when the manga was on its second volume, making in the anime and manga different enough that Suzuhito encouraged people to think of them as separate series and enjoy them both on their own merits.The series has also since had an OVA that disregarded the 2008 anime's departures and adapted the manga's "Hoshi no Umi" (Sea of Stars) story arc much more faithfully, and a second series in the Fall 2013 season called Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta (Song of Flowers). Note that Hana no Uta skips the Hoshi no Umi arc without summarizing it beyond vague clips used during a Special Edition Title, making the OVA required viewing between episodes 8 and 9. Another OVA adapted the "Tsuki ni Naku" arc. A crossover manga with Durarara!!, titled YZQ ✕ DRRR!!, was released with the limited edition Blu-Ray of Hana no Uta.

Plot-Triggering Death
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_13e1c444
comment
Plot-Triggering Death: Though it's been established early on that the fusion of dimensions happens every few decades, Enjin's decision to speed it up and/or do it himself by acting through various other parties in the name of the Hiizumi branch family's forced tuning to the Otherworld centuries ago is what begins the plot.

Super-Powered Evil Side
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_14431f9
comment
Superpowered Evil Side: "Felling" (or "falling") brings this out of a being, humans and animals. Naturally happens because of an imbalance between the Otherworld and this world, since Tuning sends matter and energy over but can't draw it back, so energy from the Otherworld spontaneously crosses back over and drives non-youkai life (humans and natural animals) power-mad. Enjin has the power to inflict this state on others, and is behind most cases of felling seen yet in the manga. This is because Enjin's side of the Hiizumi family has the opposite power known as "dropping," which sends things from the Otherworld to Earth, which is why they were tuned to make the Nana-gou in the first place. Except tuning and dropping are really two sides of the same power, with the two family branches each naturally strong in one but capable of both...

Evil Sounds Deep: In the "Hoshi no Umi" when Zakuro was shown to be a perfectly amiable person, her voice is actually rather high pitched. However, after her Face–Heel Turn, her voice noticeably sounds sinister, and deeper, as a result.

The Glasses Come Off: Unintentional example. After being brought back into existence by Akina, Kyousuke immediately begins fighting off Murasaki's now-empowered paper talismans with little effort. He doesn't have his glasses only because he disappeared without them and didn't have enough time to put them back on once he reappeared.

Living Forever Is Awesome: It applies to both Yae and Yuuhi. However, Yuuhi goes for the more obscure side of the spectrum, with the best part of the last 200 years is observing how shorter the skirts get and having more stuff for Mariabelle to cosplay.

Holding Hands
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_27074b46
comment
Holding Hands: A tuner risks sliding off into the Otherworld if he uses his power too much, and the simplest way to re-anchor him to Earth is very simply... for another human to hold his hand. A half-youkai can do it too, being still half-human, but isn't as quick and effective. Holding hands with a full youkai does nothing. Carries undertones of Take My Hand! when done in the middle of a fight or other emergency situation. Becomes a source of angst for Hime (and to a lesser extent Touka) as emblematic of her non-human nature and what she fears is a fundamental distance between her and Akina, and also that she just won't be able to help him in such a simple way if he ever needs it. Also possibly because Akina gets to visit Juli for his regular "check-ups."

Shoot the Dog
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_2737c505
comment
Shoot the Dog: Fourth chapter. The dog is a literal example. Tuning is actually more or less this trope. It varies between the anime and manga whether it's actually killing someone's physical body and sending their "youkai spirit" back (2008 anime) or just banishing them (manga), but the Hiizumi family in both cases has always considered it murder, since the person is no longer to be found on Earth and there's no way at all to communicate with the Otherworld, meaning the actual effect of Tuning as well as its destination are under some doubt due to a lack of empirical evidence.

Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_34579385
comment
Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Verily inverted in regards to the very role the Oyakume is supposed to take. Makiharu essentially sums up what the job entails by asking a young Akina if he's prepared to kill others in order to fulfill this position. Inverted with Enjin. Whenever a youkai hunter is on the verge of defeat, he either fells them one more time with the intent of making the situation worse for those involved or just leaves when dissatisfied at how it turned out, and hardly bothers with what happens afterwards.

Barrier Maiden: Although being a land goddess makes you powerful, it also makes sure that you're tied down to the area of land you're supposed to be guarding.

Despite also being a goddess, Tomoe doesn't seem to suffer from the same problem, as she takes the time to visit the cast in Sakura-shin with no ill effects.

Foregone Conclusion
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: In the "Hoshi no Umi" arc, Juli states that Makiharu is the first Oyakume to be able to safely exorcise excess demonic power from a fallen being and avoid sending it to the Otherworld. Therefore, this makes it impossible for Chiaki, the Oyakume from 200 years ago, to save Akane and get around his fear of killing for the sake of protecting Sakura-shin. However, this is actually narrowly averted by Yuuhi's ability to purify a fallen creature of most, if not all demonic power.

Blessed with Suck: A recurring conflict with several characters, such as Kyousuke and Zakuro, is knowing where each trope ends and Cursed with Awesome begins. On the one hand, there's the social stigma and bad experiences associated with those powers, but characters are encouraged to see their powers as the latter trope due to how they can be used to help others.

Flower Motifs
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_40cad744
comment
Flower Motifs: The entire manga displays various flower motifs, whether with symbolism or within characters' names. Floral Theme Naming: Several members of the cast have the kanji, or at least homophones, for different flowers or flowering plants in their names. There's Hime Yarizakura ("sakura"/cherry blossom), Kyousuke ("kyou"/apricot), Touka ("tou"/peach), Rin ("rin"/bell, or rather, bellflower), Zakuro (pomegranate), and Shidou Mizuki ("mizuki"/flowering dogwood) are examples given so far. Even Lila ("lilac") could be included here. Lila in particular and the "Hana no Uta" (Song of Flowers) arc in general, where Lila serves as the arc's antagonist. To a lesser extent, Juli and her hairpin which Lila copied the shape of to brand on her face when they were younger, trying to "be more like" her beloved older sister.

Establishing Series Moment: The first chapter of the manga begins with a gunman scaring a young woman cornered in an alley and follows up with the town acknowledging this serious threat and revealing and assembling an odd, but seemingly capable group of teenagers that can deal with this problem. They then head back to the office that serves as their headquarters...only to find the office director relaxing in an inflatable pool and addressing the problem of the gunman in an equally relaxed manner.

What Could Have Been: The main point of those small sketches after the end of each chapter. This includes... The entire manga itself being about music (hence the title) with its planned original title being Yozakura Falsetto. Yuuhi looking more like a cute kid. Touka looking more like a female Kyousuke without the glasses.

Fantastic Ghetto: On the whole, it's averted, but the lack of segregation between humans and demons in other places in this adaptation led to Rin's severe bullying at the hands of her human classmates in the past, which left both physical and mental scars, and her own fear and hatred of humans.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_5663a595
comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: This set of adaptations suffers from this at times. Hoshi no Umi instances: Not as severe as the examples listed below, but in the first OVA, during a conversation with Akina, Rin stares rather gloomily at a nearby Nana-gou and wonders if she should "get a check up" before dismissing it. Yet in the third OVA, Akina states that Rin never once considered going to the Otherworld. Hana no Uta instances: After Enjin fakes killing Akina in episode 7, Hime turns the Dragon Spear into what amounts to a flamethrower and a large knife when it's clearly established that night is the first time she's used it at all and most likely wouldn't know how to change it. Hime doesn't change the Dragon Spear at all in manga version of the fight. Before Kotoha disables the anti-youkai barrier in Hana no Uta, Shinozuka is seen pursuing the van Shidou is driving and exclaims that Kotoha won't make the shot, but in the scene right after, he's waiting with Morino and the nameless old man for Akina, who was with Shidou up until that point, to arrive. The manga had Shinozuka making the observation about Kotoha's kotodama from afar and didn't have this problem. Tsuki ni Naku instances: In the manga, Kotoha is initially concerned about regular humans finding out about Tomoe's otherworldly qualities by seeing her dog ears, but Tomoe says she just covers them. In Tsuki in Naku, she has a very fluffy tail that is far more noticeable than her manga counterpart's, and yet Tomoe is similarly unconcerned about the idea of humans finding out. Touka is the one who made the vacation spot booklet in the manga, and even states she made it for the sake of going places with Kyousuke. In Tsuki ni Naku, however, Kyousuke is the one who made it, despite the fact that he can't even relax on the trip and was discussing how to fit the vacation into Hime's schedule before they left.

The Presents Were Never from Santa: Akina, as well as the rest of Sakura-shin's residents, believe that the nana-gou are purely beneficial because demons safely make it to the Otherworld thanks to their presence. The only reason they do this is because each successful tuning brings the dimensions closer and close to merging.

Conveniently an Orphan: All of the main characters are conveniently orphans, and many side characters. This is later explained by there being a "gap" generation. It is hinted that the generation the kids' parents belong to was sacrificed or sent to the Otherworld in order to stop the blooming of the Nana-gou. There seems to be no one between the ages of thirty and sixty left in Sakura-Shinmachi, at least no native Sakura-Shinmachi citizens.

It's not until Kyousuke challenges Akina over his apparent inability to tune that it's fully revealed.

Badass Normal: JULI. No demonic powers such as super strength, the power to conjure emphasized words, or reading minds. Just control of her bones and muscles allows her to overpower Hime and Touka at the same time and stop speeding cars. Lila, even more than her sister. She can shapeshift, levitate, make formerly solid buildings fall apart like paper, and conjure objects from nowhere — including a freaking skyscraper-sized sword. She would outdo Kotoha for sheer reality warping, were it not all just human skill and ingenuity.

Paradox Person: Technically speaking, every single demon is this, with Power Incontinence occurring because they're still not completely in line with the natural laws of the current dimension.

Technical Pacifist: Sure the 'good guys' will whack you with a lamppost, throw a car at you, punch you out, shoot at you with machineguns and a rocket launcher, play russian roulette with you, zap you with electricity, and send you to another dimension that they really don't know much about, but they won't actually kill you.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_794f3589
comment
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Akina suffers from this trope in regards to characterization in the anime. In this adaptation, most of the events of the first volume of the manga are either left out entirely or took enough creative liberties to be different from what was already adapted in the 2008 anime. While not centered directly around Akina, most of these chapters showed how fundamental Akina is to the main group and how he stabilizes it without even establishing his importance as the Oyakume. The absence of these events can make Akina seem insensitive or even outright ignorant of the conflict of human-demon coexistence when viewing the first few episodes of the anime, even when the actions themselves are consistent with manga canon and/or its context, which includes: His blatantly overlooking Shidare and Shiina's insistence of human life being more important than that of demon kind. His near-tuning of Touka. In the manga, it is shown that he takes different approaches when trying to help others with their issues. (i.e. he's calmer when dealing with Ao, and definitely more vocal when dealing with Kotoha.) It's implied threatening Touka was most likely the only way for Akina to get Kyousuke's attention and try to get through to him. In the 2013 anime, this is the first time viewers will see Akina's approach to the human-youkai conflict, which would make Akina's position of being a life counseling office director rather dubious. After a psychotically-fallen Zakuro kidnaps Rin for the second time, the main cast pursue them in Juli's ambulance. During the chase, Hime tries calling out to Rin, but is constantly battered and visibly injured by the trees Zakuro commands to stop them. As a result, Rin tries to convince Hime that she hates her so she would stop going after them and getting hurt even more. In Hoshi no Umi, Rin immediately shouts at Hime after being captured by Zakuro without any prompting.

Limited editions of volume 11 add a bonus chapter that feature the girls actually enjoying themselves in the hot springs for a few pages. The Tatsunoko rendition of this trip includes the girls at the hot springs from the get-go.

A Day in the Limelight: Several. The "Walking Pilgrimage" arc focuses on Yuuhi and Yae's arrival in Sakura-Shinmachi some 200 years ago and their decision to become local Land Gods, and how Mariabelle came to serve Yuuhi. It also explains the source and cause of felling along the way. The opening chapter to the "Hana no Uta" arc focused on Juli's history and her reasons for coming to the town. The "Separately" arc is composed largely of different secondary and minor characters getting their own limelight chapters.

Weirdness Censor: People don't suspect that Hime's a demon despite the fact that she can deflect bullets, jump several meters high, or chuck things most sixteen-year olds can't. Of course, this is a side effect of Yae sealing everyone's memories of her being a demon in the first place.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_ac4ac8e5
comment
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each chapter is called a "Night" (so Chapter 1 is "1st Night: Cherry Blossoms Bloom," for example). As well, each chapter of a longer story arc has the name of the arc followed by a number, with the final chapter bearing the arc name alone (so numberless chapter titles indicate either a stand-alone chapter or the conclusion of a story arc).

Scare 'Em Straight
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_ac9cac61
comment
His near-tuning of Touka. In the manga, it is shown that he takes different approaches when trying to help others with their issues. (i.e. he's calmer when dealing with Ao, and definitely more vocal when dealing with Kotoha.) It's implied threatening Touka was most likely the only way for Akina to get Kyousuke's attention and try to get through to him. In the 2013 anime, this is the first time viewers will see Akina's approach to the human-youkai conflict, which would make Akina's position of being a life counseling office director rather dubious.

Compressed Adaptation: Some of the characters that are deeply developed in the manga barely get introduced in the 2008 anime. The anime also takes the plot of Volumes 3 and 4 of the manga and chops it up into Frankenstein pieces, leaving out important things like character motivation and coherency. Somewhat justified by the fact that the anime went into production only after the release of Volume 2, and elements from Volumes 3 and 4 were added in later.

Also fundamentally what happens to all youkai caught on Earth. They are forced to age and eventually die just like humans, on a human time scale, despite being naturally immortal in the Otherworld.

Cat Fight: Despite the Improbably Female Cast, this is a refreshingly Averted Trope. Most of the fights between girls lack the pettiness of the trope, but the match that comes closest would have to be Hime's later, offscreen fight against Zakuro, at which point both are heavily bruised and injured, and are only continuing the fight because they're that pissed off at each other.

Shonen Hair: When Akina starts Tuning, his hair becomes very spiky and messy. Justified because he seems to emit static electricity when Tuning.

Ignore the Fanservice: In an attempt to get Kyousuke to pay more attention to their fight instead of get distracted with his concern for Touka, Iruka opens up her shirt to reveal more of her swimsuit. With Kyousuke being Kyousuke, he doesn't notice.

Is That What He Told You?: Remember Akina's ancestors who wanted to be sent to the demon world in order to stop the merging of worlds? As it turns out, they were forcibly tuned and sent to a world they knew little to nothing about. As a result, the ancestors sent the Nana-gou in order to merge the human and demon worlds together anyway.

Vomit Discretion Shot / Relax-o-Vision: An odd combination of both happens. After a noodle-eating challenge shown in a flashback, we cut to Hime, Akina, and Gin prancing around in a field filled with flowers, laughing while being covered in Bishie Sparkle. Amidst all the happy images and music, the aftermath of the vomiting is heard in the background.

Power Degeneration
 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_f03edab9
comment
Power Degeneration: Akina's power causes health problems if used too much. Specifically, he will unseat himself from Earth and slide on over to the Otherworld as a side effect of channeling too much power. This also applies to Ao and Kotoha. Ao has to either eat a lot or go to sleep directly after using Satellite, and Kotoha loses her ability to talk for a while if she abuses her reality warping powers. Also fundamentally what happens to all youkai caught on Earth. They are forced to age and eventually die just like humans, on a human time scale, despite being naturally immortal in the Otherworld. Being forced to obey Earth biology may be why even dragons and oni can look like cute adolescent girls, being bound in a humanoid form.

Easily Forgiven: Mayor Morino, who resorts to kidnapping, coercion, and threats to try to force Kohime—a 9 year old child—out of the mayoral race. Pushed by Enjin somewhat, but wanted it and went along with it willingly almost to the end, including having Shinozuka fight to kill.

 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_f51c5f3c
comment
Never Say "Die": Despite how opposed the cast is to killing, this trope is averted often. In the first chapter, the gunman even threatens to kill everyone he had scared before. In a flashback shown in a chapter not too long after, Makiharu even outlines Akina's role as the Oyakume with a single question.

 Yozakura Quartet (Manga) / int_fca96b8e
comment
Cherry Blossoms: Though the manga as a whole employs flower motifs often, cherry blossoms are appropriately given the most spotlight, what with the presence of the Nana-gou, which are explicitly called cherry blossom trees, and the kanji for cherry blossom being used in Hime's last name as well as in the name of the town. Not to mention that "Yozakura" refers to viewing cherry blosoms at night.

Brick Joke: Hime kicks a shotgun into the air to prevent the gunman from using it halfway through the chapter. It later lands on Akina's head at the end of the chapter. In volume 1, Akina cracks the joke that Kyousuke's "into little girls." In volume 11, Tomoe, a goddess whose preferred form is a little girl, is introduced and shows a considerable amount of attraction to Kyousuke. By volume 13, it's implied that he's starting to reciprocate.
