History Manga / DFrag

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Parodied. There are '''TONS''' of them. Excluding the main characters, there’s an entire {{Revolving Door Cast|ing}} of side characters that appear, disappear and reappear at random. Some mob characters are even given names and personal motives and back stories, only to appear for a few panels/scenes. Some won’t reappear for countless chapters before spontaneously reappearing much later on, often as a CallBack or ChekhovsGag or even as [[ChekhovsGunman Chekhov's Gunmen]]. Of course, this gets mercilessly lampshaded later on.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: While some of the girls have natural (if implausible for native Japanese) hair colors -- Roka having blonde hair for example -- we ''also'' have unorthodox colors like Sakura's bright pink or Shinsen's dark rose.

* BaldOfAwesome: A lot of the minor characters are bald. Either by choice or not. [[spoiler: Becomes a plot point later on regarding the school's ghost mysteries.]]

* ItRunsInTheFamily: An inversion. Many things do run in the Kazama family, the main one being Sanity. The others include being a DeadpanSnarker and SpikyHair.

* BetterThanABareBulb

* {{Fetish}}: [[spoiler:Tama-sempai]] apparently gets turned on if an underclassman refers to her by the [[spoiler:-chan]] suffix. [[spoiler:During the contest and battle that follows between her and the main characters, she constantly tries to get Kenji to call her by the -chan suffix.]]

* GagSeries

** LoveDodecahedron: The series becomes this, with Kenji right at its center. Six and counting (according to its wiki), with Roka, Takao, [[spoiler:Funabori]], [[spoiler:Tama]], and [[spoiler:Takafudou]] as definites. They also include [[spoiler:Sakura & Chitose]], but that may be up for debate.

* SurrealHumor

* WidgetSeries

* WorldGoneMad

* ObviousJudas: The shrine priest who turns out to be conning the participants on the race shocks everyone except Kenji who already sees him [[ObviouslyEvil suspicious at the very beginning]].

Kenji Kazama fancies himself the top delinquent of Fujou Academy. Given the company he keeps, it's not too surprising everyone else sees him like that too, but he doesn't really mind. He was perfectly content spending his school days skipping classes and hanging around with his two childhood friends Yokoshima and Nagayama, who round off the so-called "Kazama Gang".

Until, that is, he and his buddies make the mistake of visiting the room of the "Game Development Club". Made up of four ''really'' strange girls, before the day is done poor Kenji is "convinced" to join the said club. While one would think it would be a blessing of sorts to be surrounded by four attractive girls, their combined eccentricities ensure that Kenji's days of relative normalcy are pretty much over.

* MemeticMutation: InUniverse, Takao's GagBoobs has always been of this caliber, though that WardrobeMalfunction incident during the TournamentArc generated more publicity than before, setting off several copycat attempts, including one by Saginuma. She [[EpicFail failed so hard]] she actually ''went into a HeroicBSOD''.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The ending of the series (Minna no Namae wo Irete Kudasai) is performed by the voice actresses of [[Creator/KanaHanazawa Roka]], [[Creator/ShizukaIto Takao]] and [[Creator/AkiToyosaki Funabori]].

** Episode 5 features ''[=RaiGaiGar=]'', a SuperRobot show and pastiche of ''Anime/TheKingOfBravesGaoGaiGar''. The protagonist with a red color scheme calls himself out as a Superman and is even voiced by Creator/NobuyukiHiyama, voice of the aforementioned anime's protagonist Guy Shishioh. In addition, Kenji being a fan of said show is also a nod to his voice actor Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi's debut role as Volfogg.

* RevolvingDoorCast: A minor RunningGag throughout the series is the presence of dozens of side characters who frequently appear, disappear and reappear in irregular intervals.

Penned and drawn by Tomoya Haruno since 2008 and published by Media Factory's ''Monthly Comic Alive'', to say that ''D-Frag!'' (or ''D-Fragments'') is an oddball comedy is severely understating things. It has nine published volumes so far (plus a bonus one), and has spawned at least two drama [=CDs=] and an anime adaptation, which aired during the Winter2014Anime season.

While one would think it would be a blessing of sorts to be surrounded by four attractive girls, their combined eccentricities ensure that, whatever passed as normal for Kenji's life before, it's pretty much over.

** Episode 5 has several ones to ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'' in ''[=RaiGaiGar=]'', a kids super hero show. The Red one calls himself out as a Superman and is even voiced by Creator/NobuyukiHiyama.
*** That Kazama is a fan of it is a bit meta as well since [[Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi his]] first role was that of Volfog in ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''.

* BaldOfAwesome: A lot of the minor characters are bald. Either by choice or not. [[spoiler: Becomes a plot point later on regarding the school's ghost mysteries]]

* CannotTalkToWomen: The organizers of the Hashimoto Island Arc. [[spoiler:Because of this, they caused the plot of that arc]]

* DemotedToExtra: Yokoshima and Nagayama in the anime..

* ShoutOut: In the ruins in Chapter 55, there's a statue that looks very similar to a [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Chozo]].

** Episode 5 has several ones to Anime/GaoGaiGar in [=RaiGaiGar=], a kids super hero show. The Red one calls himself out as a Superman and is even voiced by Creator/NobuyukiHiyama.

** The game ''Sorcery Village'' is a pun on the Japanese name for ''VideoGame/Ghosts & Goblins'' (Makaimura, Demon World Village). It also has the same history as the series and infamous NintendoHard Difficulty, save for instead of a knight, it's a wizard.

** Later, she is known by [[spoiler: Takafudou's girls school as the Legendary Boob Crusher just a day after entering their school, with Kazama using her as a mac to reach Takafudou (with her boobs crushing her) seals the deal.]]

* OnlySaneMan: Kenji. As his younger sister Noe and their mother shows, it's a family trait.

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Chitose Karasuyama
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Roka, in turn, finds her sister Tsutsuji's devotion deeply annoying.

* BaldOfAwesome: A lot of the minor characters are bald. Either by choice or not.

* BigBrotherWorship: Or Big Sister Worship in this case -- Roka's little sister Tsutsuji seems to think Roka is perfect in every way, and makes her bento that you'd expect more from a harem member.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:Takao]] has shown shades of this [[spoiler:starting in Chapter 31, when she effortlessly stops a spinning robot with one hand, and then pushes it on its back causing a dent in its chest. Yes, Takao did that. Even the main cast was surprised. Considering that she got that from her mother, it begins to make sense]].

* DemotedToExtra: Yokoshima and Nagayama in the anime.
* {{Determinator}}: Kenji, and it seems to be a family trait; just ask his little sister.
* DistressedDude: While Kazama can hold his own in a fight, he tends to get kidnapped or is held hostage. Chapters 31 and 32 lampshade this. When the girls hear he was kidnapped, they only ask "Again?", and they give him the nickname "Princess Pinch".

* DudeWheresMyRespect: A RunningGag is that Kazama Kenji's reputation is kinda nonexistent and that he doesn't really stand out.

* EmbarrassingNickname: Shinsen, [[spoiler:the former student council secretary]], is called "Pukey" by just about everyone.

* FracturedFairytale: Chapter 30 spoofs ''Literature/{{Momotaro}}'', with Funabori in the title role. It turns out to be AllJustADream by some minor character.

* FriendlyEnemy: Takao is still the captain of the Real Game Development Club. [[spoiler:Tama also starts hanging out with Kazama's harem after the former student council is defeated.]]

* HugeSchoolgirl: Tama-chan-sempai, whose official height is listed at 181 cm, which in English measurements is just shy of six feet tall.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Takao and her.... [[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/6436/d-frag_v3_ch19_by_anime-rg/19 zipper]].
* InsaneTrollLogic: Kazama during the tournament. [[spoiler:[[http://www.batoto.net/read/_/6438/d-frag_v3_ch21_by_anime-rg/13 Deny luck of the past to get luck in the present.]]]]
* InsistentTerminology: [[spoiler:Tama]] is exceptionally keen on having Kazama call her [[spoiler:Tama-chan]], despite being his senior.
* ISurrenderSuckers: A slight variation of this occurs early on. Kenji's initial plan was to intercept his club admission form before it made it to the teacher's hall so that he could escape from the game creation club's clutches without them chasing him down again. Unfortunately he finds out that Minami is their club advisor, when Chitose gives her the form in the same room. He ends up just snatching it and running away again, once again prompting the girls to chase after him.

* LazyBum: Oosawa-sensei. She is asleep in nearly all her appearances.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Shiou doesn't get many memos. Doesn't help Roka actively tries to erase him from her mind.

** LoveDodecahedron: The series becomes this, with Kenji right at its center. Six and counting (according to its wiki), with Roka, Takao, [[spoiler:Funabori]], [[spoiler:Tama]], and [[spoiler:Takafudou]] as definites. They also include [[spoiler:Sakura]], but that may be up for debate.
* MemeticMutation: InUniverse, Takao's GagBoobs has always been of this caliber, though that WardrobeMalfunction incident during the TournamentArc generated more publicity than before, setting off several copycat attempts, including one by Saginuma. She [[EpicFail failed so hard]] she actually ''went into a HeroicBSOD''.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Shiou is technically a member of the Game Development Club (temp), but is [[LockedOutOfTheLoop never informed]] about group activities. His official seat is in the corner behind the bookcase.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[Creator/SeanConnery Shawn Conecone]]. There is also an unnamed teacher who looks suspiciously like Creator/ChuckNorris.
* ObliviouslyBeautiful: Takao is completely ignorant of her breasts.
* ObliviousToLove: Kenji, in regards to Takao's growing affections for him. Also to Roka and all the implications her bag carries with it.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Minami Oosawa
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Even Shinsen's manager at work thinks of her as "Pukey".

* PerpetualSmiler: Sakura

* {{Sadist}}: Chitose
* SelectiveObliviousness: Roka refuses to acknowledge Shiou's existence.

* SpikyHair: Kenji's hair is very spiky, to the point that it pokes anyone who touches it. It seems to be naturally like that too, and is apparently [[ItRunsInTheFamily a family trait]].

* StockholmSyndrome: Kazama towards the Game Development Club (temp).

* TherapyBackfire: Kudanshita's attempt at getting [[BigBreastPride Saginuma]] to return back to school after having her former 1st-place title of "Biggest Breasts in School" stripped by [[GagBoobs Takao]]... It didn't end favorably (with Saginuma being completely brushed off and Kusshi herself fainting due to working too hard for it.)

* YoungestChildWins: Takao is the youngest daughter and the only one that inherited her mother's chest. Based on how everyone treats her chest, she won the DNA lottery -- although she wouldn't agree. [[spoiler: Chapter 31 shows she also inherited her mother's power.]]

* {{Badass}}: Shawn Conecone and [[spoiler:Takao's mother. She might be the strongest character in the series.]]

** Lots of references to the DragonQuest series, particularly the appearance of the father-and-son duo in the opening, as well as the "Defeat The Evil Overlord" game during the school fair. Double-dosed with a LukeIAmYourFather moment during said game.

* Episode 5 has several ones to Anime/GaoGaiGar in [=RaiGaiGar=], a kids super hero show. The Red one calls himself out as a Superman and is even voiced by Creator/NobuyukiHiyama.
** That Kazama is a fan of it is a bit meta as well since [[Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi his]] first role was that of Volfog in Anime/GaoGaiGar.
