History Manga / CheekyAngel

* AdaptationDeviation: The manga and anime both deal with Megumi's GenderBender in different ways. [[spoiler:In the manga, Megumi was actually born female, and her resulting personality is due to the FakeMemories implanted in her by the genie, who lacked the power to fulfill her wish. In the anime, Megumi was instead born male, and the genie did succeed in managing to transform her.]]

*** [[spoiler:The endings also heavily deviate from each other as well in this regard. While the manga is most well-known for the twist that Megumi was a girl the whole time and the genie simply implanted fake memories in her and Miki about Megumi's GenderBender, it is implied that her transformation did in fact happen.]]

* JackassGenie: The Trickster Spirit reversing the wish for kicks. [[spoiler:Subverted. It turns out the genie is actually making an honest attempt to grant wishes as properly as it can; they're getting twisted by its limited power and the fact that they're only partially-fulfilled as a result, rather than active malevolence. In the anime, where the genie actually does transform Megumi into a woman, it departs Megumi's presence when it assumes Megumi has accepted life as a woman even though she still very much intended to undo her transformation - this in turn keeps Megumi female permanently, much to her chagrin.]]

* LadyKillerInLove: Megumi is shocked to hear that Genzo had dated lots of girls in the past sometimes for as little as a day. It gets somewhat subverted in that Genzo says he only just said yes to people who asked him then broke up when he felt it wasn't working out, and that he really does feel bad for hurting anyones feelings. though its still played straight cause he only feels bad about it ''now''

* MoralityPet: [[ChildhoodFriends Yoshimi]] could be considered this for Keiko, despite Keiko's AlphaBitch personality she care's about Yoshimi. Though since Yoshimi happily goes along with whatever plot Keiko has cooked up she's not a very good one.

* ThirdLawOfGenderBending: Megumi has an awfully girly wardrobe for someone who claims to be a boy. She's also great at putting on an intentionally girly facade if she needs to.

** The anime's ending is another variant of this which is more traditional. [[spoiler:When Megumi kisses Genzo as thanks for helping her rescue Miki, the genie responsible for her transformation assumes that Megumi enjoys being a woman more and disappears forever, seemingly keeping Megumi as a girl permanently. Megumi is none too pleased, having only given the kiss as a show of thanks and unaware that such a small gesture ruined her chances of being male again.]]

* GenderBender: Megumi, who wished to be a "men among men" but got turned into a girl. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Actually, she was always a girl.]] She actually wished for a genie to make her a boy, but the best he could do was give her FakeMemories of previously being male.]]
** [[spoiler:Due to AdaptationDeviation, the anime implies that Megumi's transformation there did actually occur, and that she was legitimately a boy before.]]
* GenderBlenderName: Megumi at one point even states that its a good thing she was given a girl's name. [[spoiler: Ultimatly averted though since Megumi was indeed born a girl.]]

* IfItsYouItsOkay: Averted, Genzo says he would like Megumi if she were a man, but when Megumi challenges him by tellling him a kiss could break the spell, and turn her back into a man, he can't go through with it.
** Megumi reluctantly feels this way about [[spoiler: Kobayashi dating Miki]] though its more of a "If I can't have her."

** [[spoiler:The anime plays with this to a degree, as while Megumi lost her chances at undoing her curse, she doesn't seem too non-plussed about remaining female for the rest of her life. Despite her new circumstances, she still insists on identifying as a man by the show's end.]]

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Megumi still identifies as a boy (down to her use of ''[[OreOnna ore]]''), has spent almost an entire decade searching for a way to turn back into one, and is unabashedly rough and masculine attitude-wise. However, her entire look, from the wavy long and feminine hair she has to her very girly wardrobe, shows that she's very much adapted to being a woman rather well, not to mention the many instances of her acting naturally feminine.

* TrueCompanions: Grown out of the InstantFanClub.

* BigDamnKiss: [[spoiler: Between Megumi and Genzo at the end of the manga, though funnily enough, it seemes to have more hurt his chances than helped, because it broke the memory lock on Megumi and Miki's past.]]

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: At age nine, Megumi and Miki are made to forget everything that has to do with Megumi being a girl, including the biggest reason they became friends]]

* OreOnna: Megumi still uses ''ore'' to refer to herself. This mainly seems to be the case with her friends, as she's uses other traditionally feminine pronouns like ''atashi'' around strangers, primarily to keep up an exaggerated feminine appearance.

%%* TheThingThatGoesDoink

* InstantSeiza: Subversion: Keiko takes advantage of being pinned under Fujiki to scream and accuse him of being a pervert, in order to knock Megumi down a peg.

* [[spoiler: LaserGuidedAmnesia]]: [[spoiler: At age nine, Megumi and Miki are made to forget everything that has to do with Megumi being a girl, including the biggest reason they became friends]]

''Cheeky Angel'' (''Tenshi na Konamaiki'') is a {{shonen|Demographic}} manga by Hiroyuki Nishimori (who also did ''Manga/KyouKaraOreWa'') which ran in ''Magazine/ShonenSunday'' from 1999 to 2003 and was compiled into 20 volumes. It received a 50-episode anime adaptation that aired from 2002 to 2003.

* HaremSeeker: Genzo gets accused of this when he says that he assumed [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Megumi and Miki]] were a "boxed set"

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Megumi and Miki push this trope way past its limit.

* ShipperOnDeck: In probably the strangest example of the trope, Genzo full on [[{{Shipping}} ships]] Megumi, his LoveInterest, with Miki, her [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship best friend.]]

Written by the same mangaka as ''Manga/KyouKaraOreWa'', the manga is 20 volumes and the anime is 50 episodes. The original Japanese title is ''Tenshi Na Konamaiki'', of which "A Cheeky Angel" is a fairly literal translation of.

** SchoolgirlLesbians: Both have stated and shown that they are attracted to one another, and by the end of the manga these two are still the closest thanks in large part to Genzo [[spoiler: who after kissing Megumi unlocks both her and Miki's past.]]

** [[spoiler: The second is actually a heroic version, both Megumi and Miki are falling to their deaths and Genzo has enough time to think about hpw he can only save one, cue CMOA.]]

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Megumi still identifies as a boy (down to her use of ''[[OreOnna ore]]''), has spent almost an entire decade searching for a way to turn back into one, and is unabashedly rough and masculine attitude-wise. However, her entire look, from the wavy long and feminine hair she has to her very girly wardrobe, shows that she's very much adapted to being a woman rather well.

* ThirdLawOfGenderBending: Megumi has an awfully girly wardrobe for someone who claims to be a boy.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: While very much tomboyish in terms of how she talks and acts, Megumi has a really girly wardrobe and has ironically has a lot of hatred for how girl-crazy her guy friends can be.

*** The worse alteration though, would be the last arc which is completely different from the manga. In the Manga it's a deadly serious arc that involves mental and physical torture but in the anime it's a '''ridiculous''' comedy, filled with robots and KiAttacks.

** CrapSackWorld: A mild example but much like the Mangaka's other [[KyouKaraOreWa work]] Megumi and co. literally can ''not'' walk down the street without someone trying to rob, assault, and/or harass them or someone else, Megumi and co. beat up the {{Mooks}} who then go get more mooks until they're just running around town fighting people the original reason they were outside long forgotten.
