History Manga / KoeDeOshigoto

* AuthorAppeal: [[WordOfGod According to the author]], the manga basically started as an excuse to draw embarrassed blushing girls, with the seiyuu plot thrown in to make it publishable in a general magazine.

** Several character designs including Kotori, Hadzuki and Fumika are [[OnlySixFaces outright recycled]] [[{{Expy}} from said previous works]], among with some personality traits. And just so there is no doubt left, chapter 26 reintroduces the girls from ''Puberty Crazies'' as in-universe fictional characters. In a bit of clever reversal the similarities are explained as the eroge characters being modeled after their respective seiyuus.

* CookingDuel: A seiyuu contest, instigated by Sakanami, between Fumika and Kanna with Motoki as the target of their fierce attacks.

* InspiredBy: A song about an eroge seiyuu by JPop group Mosaic.wav, who themselves started by doing eroge theme songs. Appropriately enough, they went on to record Kana's first ImageSong, way before there were even plans for an OVA.

The story begins with Kanna Aoyagi, who on her 16th birthday is asked by her older sister Yayoi to help out at her game company. She neglects to mention said company produces {{eroge}} and that she wants her little sister to become their resident [[VoiceActors seiyuu]]. Kanna knows little to nothing about sexuality, let alone H-games, so she is less than thrilled at first. Nevertheless she goes along with it, partly for her sister's sake and partly because she has no idea [[HilarityEnsues what awaits her]]. Now she must learn how to be a good voice actress, while being extremely embarrassed by the different things she must say. At the same time she is struggling to keep her career a secret from her friends at school. Can she do the job properly while she is still innocent and inexperienced?

* {{Pixellation}}: The only thing keeping it from becoming an outright hentai manga. A good part of the naughty stuff is censored in-universe as well, not that the audience can tell the difference. It leads to an amusing [[AuthorFilibuster discussion/rant]] about the necessity of censorship in fiction. Everyone involved is very much in character mind you.[[hottip:*: Incidentally, Konno Azure never uses mosaic in any of his other works, instead going for black bars. Very thin, sometimes ''semi-transparent'' black bars.]]

* AudioErotica: Constantly invoked in-series, though obviously the medium can't properly covey it. That is where the [[AudioAdaptation Drama CDs]] and anime come in.

* RefugeInAudacity: Much like ''GundamSousei'' is to {{Gundam}} and ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'' is to ShonenGenre Manga, {{Eroge}} Production is awesome.

* RapeIsLove: Touched upon when Yayoi describes the two main genres of eroge - love and rape - and says that this distinction is not always clear enough.

** But, this ''is'' Japan we're talking about, so...

* HollywoodSex:
** Yayoi decides to deliberately brainwash her sister into thinking sex always feels incredibly good, for the purpose of improving her acting.
** It gets better - her co-workers manage to convince Kanna that semen tastes like cream by having her simulate oral sex - sucking on Motoki's finger in her eroge trance - until they decide to throw cream at her face. Yes, really..

* PlotWithPorn: The first couple of games Kanna plays, until she gets to...

* RefugeInAudacity: Much like ''GundamSousei'' is to {{Gundam}} and ''{{Bakuman}}'' is to ShonenGenre Manga, {{Eroge}} Production is awesome.

* {{Meido}}: A common theme, including at least two meido-themed games. Chapter 14 is devoted to a maid cafe.

* SwordAndSorcerer: A Type 2 non-combat example with Kanna and Motoki. Kanna is athletic but [[GenericGirl that's all about it]], while Motoki is [[SquishyWizard smart but sloppy at sports]]. While in eroge work, however, he "[[UnusualEuphemism buffs]]" her so she can enter [[SuperpoweredEvilSide trance mode]].

** [[ItGetsBetter It's even more creative than that]]. The sound bleeps for Kanna's and Yayoi's speeches are an innocent laugh and "Hora!" (Japanese for "Hey!") respectively.

* SwordAndSorcerer: A Type 2 non-combat example with Kanna and Motoki. Kanna is athletic but [[TheEveryman that's all about it]], while Motoki is [[SquishyWizard smart but sloppy at sports]]. While in eroge work, however, he "[[UnusualEuphemism buffs]]" her so she can enter [[SuperpoweredEvilSide trance mode]].

* SwordAndSorcerer: A Type 2 non-combat example with Kanna and Motoki. Kanna is athletic but [[TheGenericGuy that's all about it]], while Motoki is [[SquishyWizard smart but sloppy at sports]]. While in eroge work, however, he "[[UnusualEuphemism buffs]]" her so she can enter [[SuperpoweredEvilSide trance mode]].

* SwordAndSorcerer: A Type 2 non-combat example with Kanna and Motoki. Kanna is athletic but [[TheGenericGuy that's all about it]], while Motoki is [[SquishyWizard smart but sloppy at sports]]. While in eroge work, however, Motoki "[[UnusualEuphemism buffs]]" Kanna so she can enter [[SuperpoweredEvilSide trance mode]].

** But, this is Japan we're talking about, so...

** ''ComeSeeMeTonight'' ''II''.

* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Sakanami's hammy lecture about fellatio embarassed Kanna so much that Fumika had to "sucker-punch" him. It becomes this trope when this is taken UpToEleven.

* SwordAndSorcerer: A Type 2 non-combat example with Kanna and Motoki. Kanna is athletic but [[TheNondescript that's all about it]], while Motoki is [[SquishyWizard smart but sloppy at sports]]. While in eroge work, however, Motoki "[[UnusualEuphemism buffs]]" Kanna so she can enter [[SuperpoweredEvilSide trance mode]].

* SwordAndSorcerer: A Type 2 non-combat example with Kanna and Motoki. Kanna is athletic but [[TheGenericGuy that's all about it]], while Motoki is [[SquishyWizard smart but sloppy at sports]]. In eroge work, however, Motoki "[[UnusualEuphemism buffs]]" her so Kanna can go into her [[SuperpoweredEvilSide ero-trance mode]].

** ''ComeSeeMeTonight'' II.

* [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs This is]] ''{{REC}}'' [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs On Crack]].

--> '''Nagatoshi:''' They are popular y'know. [[AllMenArePerverts There are no characters that man dislike.]]
* {{Moe}}: Besides being a major sub-genre of eroge and therefore pertinent to Kanna's education as a seiyuu, different characters are clearly intended to appeal to certain moe archetypes.

* VirginPower: In one of the most ironic examples ever, virgins make the best eroge voice actors, because sex in real life is [[YouFailSexEdForever nothing like its portrayal in games.]]
