Because Yen Press will publish the series without the hyphen in the title, I decided to drop the hyphen in the page.


'''Kin-iro Mosaic''' (lit. ''Golden Mosaic'', a.k.a. ''Kin'iro Mosaic'' or ''[=KinMoza=]!''. The hyphen is necessary as a pronunciation guide) is a SliceOfLife comedy manga drawn and penned by Yui Hara serialized in ''Magazine/MangaTimeKirara Max''.

* PhenotypeStereotype: Largely {{averted|trope}}. Alice is short even by ''Japanese standards'', and Karen is neither the tallest nor the bustiest of the cast. The remaining stereotypes, blonde hair and blue eyes, though, were played ''straight''--the "kin-iro" in the title refers, partly, to ''blonde hair''.

* {{Tsundere}}: Aya has some shades of this.

to:

* TranslationConvention: Averted for most of the series, where it's usually made plain whenever someone speaks in English (in Alice or Karen's case). However, come the final episode of ''Hello!'', things suddenly becomes muddled, as there are segments where both Alice and Karen speaking in English, followed by the two speaking in obvious Japanese... except in the latter segments, we're ''also'' shown Alice's mum speaking (and understanding!) Japanese. Complicating matters is how later on, we're shown her speaking in English, and she actually comments how Alice and Karen now use Japanese whenever they talk to each other.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent The anime largely avoids attempting British accents despite two main characters and several secondary characters being from that country, in addition to a good chunk of screentime being spent there. The characters speak in a more neutral or American accent instead; their best attempt at giving the characters a British accent is having Alice pronounce "little" as "li'ull" a couple times, dropping the "T" sound.
