Oh yeah. That's a good one. The romance that develops between Aoi and The Master is a very lighthearted thing, with the two of them eventually poking all kinds of fun at each other.
What I also love was that Aoi's grandfather was apparently like this universe's Old Man Henderson, only with a heart of 100% pure gold and piped through an affable facade that smacks of genial and down-to-earth personalities like Walter Cronkite. And he is dearly missed by quite a few people in the Hidden World, even though he was a pain in the ass at times.
Said Ayakashi also tend to comment on just how much Aoi reminds them of her Grandfather because she's got that same fire in her belly that he did.
Also, I can't help but wonder if this is also a commentary on Japan's general xenophobia, what with Aoi being snubbed everywhere she goes for being a Human first, an outsider second, and then thirdly "That damn old fart's granddaughter".
