History Manga / ShinozakisanKiWoOtaShikaNi

* BlandNameProduct: Constant, most obvious being ''Prepure'' for ''Anime/PrettyCure'' (including such installments as "[[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Futari de Prepure]]", "[[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Flash Prepure]]", "[[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure HeartBreak Prepure]]", and "[[Anime/SmilePrecure Slime Prepure]]").

*** FridgeBrilliance for this one, because Hong Kong has a nickname called "Jewel of the East" (東方之珠), and the kanji for 東方 is exactly the same as Touhou.

''Shinozaki-san Ki wo Ota Shika ni!'' ("Don't become an otaku, Shinozaki-san!") is a manga by Shou Hikawa, which was serialized in ''Comic Meteor'' from 2012 to 2017 and compiled into nine volumes.

* BlandNameProduct: Constant, most obvious being ''Prepure'' for ''Anime/PrettyCure''.

** Lampshaded by Usuba, who teaches Koto that "Every woman is rotten" [[note: ''"Rotten woman" being the literal translation of'' fujoshi.[[/note]] whether she realizes it or not.

* YaoiFanGirl: Almost every otaku girl introduced. Ayu can only get over her ShrinkingViolet ways when talking about her favorite Yaoi pairings.

In middle-school, with her beautiful looks and outgoing personality, Akina Shinozaki used to be the leader of a group of hotties at the top of her class hierarchy. However, after her high school debut is delayed by a week due to a cold, she finds herself the odd person out as all her classmates have already formed their cliques.

Sitting next to her is an {{otaku}} girl, Kaede Sasamura, whom she immediately dismisses as a freak, but when Akina later bumps into her, [[TheGlassesGottaGo knocking her glasses off, Akina is dumbstruck when she realizes Kaede is actually very beautiful]]. Puzzled by why Kaede chose the life of an otaku and feeling that it's a tragic waste, Akina decides to save Kaede from the disgusting life-choice by introducing her to fashion and grooming her for a perfect high school life, but the only way to get close to Kaede is for Akina to pretend to be an otaku herself, much to her chagrin.

Still, she'll do whatever it takes to save Kaede from the otaku lifestyle, as soon as she is done watching some [[Anime/PrettyCure Prepure]], cosplaying, playing videogame and table top RPG's, reading [[{{Yaoi}} gay]] and [[{{Yuri}} lesbian]] Doujins, going to anime conventions, creating a maid café, writing {{Fanfic}}s, and fantasizing about alone time with Kaede... wait, what was she supposed to be doing again?

** The in universe Windows is called "Wenby's."

** Akina discovers a book titled: "''How To Seduce A Female Otaku''." Of course she bought it.

* CutenessOverload: Akina is head-over-heels for Kaede, and just about anything Kaede does turns Akina into a flustered mess. It's so bad that Akina becomes known for fainting easily, when in reality, she's as athletic and healthy as they come.

* GirlPosse: Akina and her friends; Chigusa, Touko, and Konatsu, formed one when they were in middle-school.

* RunningGag: Akina and Mokoto walking in on each other without knocking, Doubly funny since its Makoto's room and he doesn't need to knock but is punished anyway.

** Chapter 15 has plenty of shout outs in the form of cosplay: [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Faust]], [[Franchise/TouhouProject Rem]][[BlandNameProduct ia]] and even a [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cardboard-box-gundam cardboard box]] [[BlandNameProduct Gun]][[Franchise/{{Gundam}} nam]].

''Don't become an otaku Shinozaki-san!''

** Akina cannot stand Makoto most of the time and her [[SchoolGirlLesbian sexual interests lie else where.]]

* EveryoneIsGay: Parodied in a Tabletop RPG Akina plays where every character the party encounters is revealed to be gay, [[spoiler: the non-violent way to end the campaign is to discover the Demon Queen is gay as well.]]

* StatusQuoIsGod: Over the course of the manga's run, there's been seemingly no development with either Shinozaki's acceptance of being an otaku, or her acting on her feelings for Kaede. Every time Akina is about to be outed as gay or otaku, she denies it, or some contrived plot device comes in to delay it. Then the ResetButton is pressed and everyone moves along like nothing happened. [[spoiler:It takes until the ''very end'' of the manga for Akina to finally come out as both a lesbian and otaku.]]

** Makoto honestly has no interest in his little sister or anyone he considers a little sister like Chigusa. It weirds him out that everyone keeps bringing it up. He even thinks its wrong for a college kid like him to be with a teenager seeing it as being a [[{{ephebophile}} lolicon]].
