Rikka herself does this when she's fatally hit by a delivery truck and recovering right away, saying she's ok because she was hit with the blunt end of it. Even when taking a bullet to the head, Kurou simply says he got hit with the non-lethal side.

Blatant Lies: How Kurou (and Rikka) justifies walking off injuries that should've killed him to normal people.

In part because the real Nanase had her head crushed by a girder, but also because Rikka depicts her as having no face in her paintings.

The Blank: Steel Girder Nanase has no face.

Its not meant to be fanservice, instead showing her in relation to Steel Girder Nanase and the formers powers.

Barbie Doll Anatomy: A sickly thin and nude Rikka is shown a handful of times in the manga.

More explicit in Vol 16, after Kurou consoles Kotoko after Rikka caused her to have a mental breakdown and force her into a deal.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Kotoko always mentions that Kurou is her boyfriend even if he doesn't act like it, but by the end of volume 6, it is clear he does love her back.

Maybe naive and simple-minded, but his tenacity should not be underestimated. Animal Motifs: Kurou gets compared to a goat by both Saki and Kotoko.Kotoko sees clearly through this and even comments on it, stating that in truth, the Kappa ran away from him. Ambiguous Syntax: Kurou tries to imply that he was a coward that left Saki behind when they encountered the Kappa when he first tells the story to Kotoko.With this knowledge, she asks for his help in solving the various issues presented by the supernatural, all the while wishing her newfound partner will eventually reciprocate her feelings. However, she quickly realizes there is something more to Kurou when the youkai that come to her for help react to Kurou's presence the same way normal people typically react to theirs. Seeing this as her chance to become closer to him, Kotoko immediately makes her move, hoping to get married to Kurou one day. Meanwhile, Kurou Sakuragawa, a 22-year-old university student, has just broken up with his girlfriend after he fled alone when the two encountered a kappa. Now, six years later, whenever youkai wish for their problems to be solved, they make their way to Kotoko for consultation.

At the young age of 11, Kotoko Iwanaga was abducted by youkai for two weeks and asked to become their 'God of Wisdom,' a mediator between the spirit and human worlds, to which the girl quickly agreed but at the cost of her right eye and left leg.
