History Manga / MakenKi

** Inaho is the spitting image of Makoto Nanaya (minus the tail), right down to her perpetual {{cat smile}}.

* DropTheHammer: The random thug that attacks Himegami in episode 7 of season 2 uses a giant mallet to attack her.

* BleachedUnderpants: Takeda Hiromitsu is a former hentai and doujinshi artist, but has mainly settled into ecchi instead. He still dabbles in doujin works under a pen name.

''Maken-ki!'' is a manga series by [[BleachedUnderpants famed hentai artist]] Hiromitsu Takeda, which ran from April 20, 2007 to March 9, 2020 (starting out in ''Dragon Age Pure'' and later moving to ''Monthly Dragon Age'' after the former ceased publication) and was compiled into 24 volumes. The story takes place at Tenbi Academy, a school for the gifted as it were, where the students are taught [[KiManipulation how to use]] [[LifeEnergy "Element".]] Those who can harness its power are commonly referred to as, "ability users". However, only the strongest and most proficient among them are granted the use of Maken, and only the elite become members of [[TitleDrop Maken-ki.]]

** Episode 8 of Season 2 has a shout out to {{Film/Downfall}} where Kengo flips out much like Adolph did.

* AmazonianBeauty: Azuki is the main example, being that she's one of the tallest girls at the school and has a naturally toned physique. Likewise, Demitra is the tallest among the Venus students and also [[LegFocus shown to have toned thighs and calves]]. And both have [[BoobsOfSteel the racks to show for it.]]

-->'''Yuuka: (over the mic)''' "Ms. Aki just took out some random guy. But he's not a main character, [[WhatMeasureIsANonBadass so who cares?"]]

* ADateWithRosiePalms: A hormone-addled teenaged boy wakes up to find he's [[spoiler: been turned into a girl]] and finds themselves alone in the bathroom. So the first thing Takeru decided to do with [[spoiler: her new body]] was... (see the SexyDiscretionShot entry).

* CoitusEnsues:
** The preface page for chapter 45 shows Yuuka and Takaki engaged in foreplay, while spooning together in lingerie.
-->'''page caption:''' [[LampshadeHanging This has nothing to do with the story.]] But fanservice [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools once in a while]] is always good!
** There's two involving Love Espada. The first being in chapter 76, where she coaxes Kyoki into one of the club rooms, as Usui and Himegami eavesdrop on them [[SexyDiscretionShot from outside.]] While chapter 79 has her leave another group of girls half naked and disheveled at her feet, with two of them still trembling in orgasm.

* DemotedToExtra: The anime strips Himegami [[EvilCounterpart and Otohime]] of their plot relevancy and reduces both of them to bit parts (see the character sheet).

* InnocentCohabitation: Takeru is put in the same dorm room as Inaho and Himegami purely on a whim. Haruko joins in with the excuse of keeping things in check (of course she most likely has a deeper reason).

** Aki is the {{school nurse}}, who's popular with the vast majority of the male students, because of her '''[[GagBoobs K-Cup]]''' [[BuxomIsBetter breasts.]] They'll even fake sickness and injury just for the chance to ogle her.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Applies to both Minori and Takaki as school principal and student council president respectively, at Tenbi Academy.

** For all the jokes about how small Himegami's breasts are, she's the series' front-runner for {{fanservice}}. Want camel toe? You'll be [[http://anime-fanservice.org/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=1308&pid=43144#top_display_media seeing]] [[http://anime-fanservice.org/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=1308&pid=43166#top_display_media more of it]] [[http://anime-fanservice.org/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=1308&pid=43224#top_display_media from her]], than anyone else. She's also got a [[ShesGotLegs hot pair of legs]], [[http://anime-fanservice.org/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=1308&pid=43145#top_display_media a nice ass]], constantly [[ZettaiRyouiki wears thigh-high]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/13/6/ stockings]], and, if you're a foot fetishist, there's [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1603453?tags=himegami_kodama official art of her barefeet]] and multiple scenes of her grinding her foot [[http://animefeet.wikia.com/wiki/File:Maken_ki_Kodama_Himegami_02.jpg in Takeru's face.]]

* AmazonianBeauty: Azuki is the main example, being that she's one of the tallest girls at the school and has a naturally toned physique. Likewise, Demitra is the tallest among the Venus students and also [[ShesGotLegs shown to have toned thighs and calves]]. And both have [[BoobsOfSteel the racks to show for it.]]

** Kai's Maken ability is called "Fullmetal," which allows him to cast any part of his body in steel, though he mainly uses it on his right arm. [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist Sound familiar?]]

* {{Gainaxing}}: All the girls[[note]]excluding Himegami, Kimmi, and Uruchi, since they're [[UsefulNotes/{{pettanko}} flat/semi-flatchested]][[/note]]. All the time, to the point of seeming to defy gravity, sometimes.

** Aki is the {{school nurse}}, who's popular around campus for being a '''K-Cup'''. Plus, she typically wears [[NavelDeepNeckline a revealing blouse]] with a skin-tight skirt, and [[{{gainaxing}} gainaxes]] in nearly all of her scenes. There's also plenty of official art of her in fetish wear ([[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1769378?tags=nijou_aki NSFW link]]) and pinup poses.

''Maken-ki!'' is a manga series by [[BleachedUnderpants famed hentai artist]] Hiromitsu Takeda, which ran from April 20, 2007 to March 9, 2020. The story takes place at Tenbi Academy, a school for the gifted as it were, where the students are taught [[KiManipulation how to use]] [[LifeEnergy "Element".]] Those who can harness its power are commonly referred to as, "ability users". However, only the strongest and most proficient among them are granted the use of Maken, and only the elite become members of [[TitleDrop Maken-ki.]]

As the [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil student council]], they're charged with maintaining discipline at the academy. But that isn't what our pervy protagonist, Takeru Oyama, is interested in. Until a year ago, the academy was [[AllGirlSchool girls only.]] So now that it's gone Co-Ed, the student body [[ImprobablyFemaleCast is predominantly female]] and he wants to see as much of [[DoubleEntendre the "student body"]] as possible.

* WorldOfActionGirls: As a result of the cast being predominantly female, most of whom, are students [[SchoolOfHardKnocks at Tenbi.]] Tenbi Academy was formerly an AllGirlSchool for the gifted, where the curriculum includes [[TheSpartanWay combat training.]] The same is true of [[TheBeautifulElite Venus Academy]], which is more like an all-girl military school.

* PositiveDiscrimination: The female cast are shown to be vastly superior in using their Maken and in overall strength, while the male cast are relegated to a few instances where they ''do'' win against the girls at some particular event, but even so it's mostly exclusive to Takeru due his protagonist privileges and male ''antagonists'', with the latter being a blatant obstacle for the girls to overcome.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Minori's are so big that she can only pull the zipper of her sweatshirt [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1609323?tags=rokujou_minori halfway up]], and the neckline of Aki's blouse is [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/446600?tags=nijou_aki almost as low]] because of the gargantuan size of HER breasts.

** Aki is the {{school nurse}}, who's popular around campus for being a '''K-Cup'''. Plus, she typically wears [[AbsoluteCleavage a revealing blouse]] with a skin-tight skirt, and [[{{gainaxing}} gainaxes]] in nearly all of her scenes. There's also plenty of official art of her in fetish wear ([[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1769378?tags=nijou_aki NSFW link]]) and pinup poses.

* BustChart: Volume 3 of the manga contains four bust charts. One for small, average, big, and huge-breasted characters. All the characters are in their underwear are lined in profile by their breast sizes and their three sizes are on display.

* AdaptationDeviation: The anime only adapted parts of the manga in its first season (covered on [[Analysis/MakenKi the analysis page]]). Season 2 deviates from the manga entirely, in favor of [[UpToEleven dialing up]] the {{fanservice}}.

* {{Ecchi}}: You'll be seeing frequent close-ups of boobs, camel toe, and half-naked chicks, especially in the anime which nearly doubles the amount of T&A. Season 2 [[FillerArc deviates from the manga altogether]] and goes [[UpToEleven full-on]] {{hotter and sexier}}.

* ClonesArePeopleToo: [[spoiler: Yamato Takeru]] has cloned himself an outstanding amount of time to serve his designs. Besides him and his most fanatical followers, nobody treats these said clones as anything less than real people in their own right, and quite a few of them [[CloningBlues deeply resents their own creator for making them as disposable pawns.]]
