History Webcomic / AkiChansLife

* RummageSaleReject: {{Downplayed}}. Aki likes to wear clothes that are too big for her. She doesn't like more appropriately-fitting clothes like her kindergarten outfit, or [[DoesNotLikeShoes shoes and socks]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Aki. This was also true in ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'', but it gets a lot more focus here, especially in Chapter 3, where she has to go to kindergarten. By chapter 4, though, she seems to have gotten over it, or at least started to just put up with it.

In other words, ''Aki-chan's Life'' is a primarily SliceOfLife {{Fan Webcomic|s}} that acts as the sequel to the ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'' by Jimmy Wolk (author of and ''Fanfic/TheIkaris'' and ''Fanfic/LongTimeNoSee''). The story is told in chapters, with each chapter being its own self-contain mini-arc, and the strips themselves are read right-to-left instead of the standard left-to-right. All similarities to {{Manga}} or {{Doujinshi}} are completely intentional.

* {{Animesque}}: Art style and format wise the comic is just like a {{Doujinshi}}. In every other respect though it's clearly a Western webcomic.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Averted with Toji, who decides that [[SeenItAll he's seen so much lately]] that Shinji and Asuka having a time traveling daughter isn't that odd, and Fuyutsuki, who accepted it after spending a little time with Aki and saw many similarities with her parents. Played straight with Ritsuko, who demands a paternity test.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Hikari is peeved to learn that Shinji and Asuka have a time traveling daughter, are sleeping together before getting married, and got engaged ''before'' she and Toji could.
* BadassAdorable: Not many toddlers can climb a fully-grown tree. Aki was like a prepubescent Franchise/{{Tarzan}} in that regard.

* BirthdayEpisode: In the first chapter Shinji and Asuka held a party for Aki's fourth birthday. They invited their friends and co-workers, telling them that they were celebrating their victory about SEELE. So when they introduced their four-years-old daughter -that no one knew they had- hilarity ensued.

* CallToAgriculture: After winning the Angel War and averting the Apocalypse, Shinji and Asuka decide to buy the Yamadera's garden-market (where they lived back in the... [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble alternate future]]) and run the place.

* CloudCuckoolander: Aki's a little odd, even for a 4 year old, but that's to be expected given the [[AfterTheEnd world she used to live in]].

* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: So Aki does not find out about their time-travelling, Asuka covers her time-displaced daughter's ears while Shinji tells Asuka's parents the whole story.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Aki. This was also true in ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'' but it gets a lot more focus here, especially in Chapter 3. By chapter 4, though, she seems to have gotten over it.
* DeathGlare: Ritsuko finds herself reciving one simultaneously from [[http://www.jimmys-desktop.de/aki.php?browse.2.29 both Asuka AND Shinji]] when she jokingly(?) suggests taking a blood sample from Aki for the DNA test.

* DotingGrandparent: After getting used to the idea of suddenly having a four-years granddaughter, Anja considers her grandmotherly duty to spoil Aki.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: In chapter 2 Misato is driving the Ikari family to Nerv. [[http://www.jimmys-desktop.de/aki.php?browse.2.24 When Shinji mentions that she is an awful, reckless driver]], Misato protests that she is ''trying'' to stick to the traffic regulations.

* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: Shinji and Asuka [[http://jimmywolk.studenten-froendenberg.de/eng/aki.php?browse.1.7 attempt this]], though it doesn't work when Aki immediately exclaims that she is "Mama's Cousin."

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Shinji is talking on the phone while Aki's birthday party is going on in the background. Pen-Pen walks up to the table [[http://www.jimmys-desktop.de/aki.php?browse.4.134 the kids all surprise him]].
** Later, Shinji and Asuka visit their neighbors and discuss potentially buying the house they're selling. And what's Aki doing? ''[[http://www.jimmys-desktop.de/aki.php?browse.4.107 Playing with the neighbor's cat in the backyard]]''.

** Shinji is quite passive and Asuka very domineering. Most of the time, Asuka makes plans and handles everything necessary while Shinji follows her lead or makes whatever she commands. At one point after returning to the past, Touji thinks his best friend looks like a henpecked husband, not knowing how right he is.

* ImaginaryFriend: Subverted. WordOfGod says that the reason Aki isn't carrying around Kiko (her doll) all that much any more is because she is meeting lots of people besides her mom and dad.

-->I'd like to speak to that Aki-kid's mother first! I do hope she or any other adult is present and not just some babysitter.
* KarmaHoudini: Maybe they managed to successfully blame everything on Gendo or maybe it's just because this is a [[LighterAndSofter comedic slice of life work]], but it's a little odd that NERV hasn't been disbanded after the events of ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry''. Fuyutsuki is now allowed to be in charge of NERV rather than being in prison somewhere, and Ritsuko also doesn't appear to have been punished in any way for her involvement with Gendo's plans.

* LuminescentBlush: Asuka tasks Shinji with explaining to Aki where babies come from [[http://www.jimmys-desktop.de/aki.php?browse.4.119 in this page]]. Shinji's face tells everything...

* MamaBear: Asuka does ''not'' take it well when she can't find Aki.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: {{Subverted}}. Yes, Touji and Hikari: that little girl who just answered the door of your friend's apartment ''is'' their kid. It's a long story.

* ButtMonkey: Poor [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins Pen-Pen]] lost all dignity when Aki entered the picture.

[[caption-width-right:253:Somehow we doubt we'll have a problem with that.]]

Following the events of ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'' the Ikari family is back together. However, this is not the world little Aki Ikari grew up in, this is not the world Asuka and Shinji Ikari have been living in for the past seven years, and there is still quite a bit of work that needs to be done -- for one thing, Mr. and Mrs. Ikari need to get remarried. So join Aki and her parents as they go through life, face the challenges of the world, and look darn cute doing it.

In other words, ''Aki-chan's Life'' is a primarily SliceOfLife {{Fan Webcomic|s}} that acts as the sequel to the fanfic ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'' by Jimmy Wolk (author of and ''Fanfic/TheIkaris'' and ''Fanfic/LongTimeNoSee''). The story is told in chapters, with each chapter being its own self-contain mini-arc, and the strips themselves are read right-to-left instead of the standard left-to-right.

* NotSoDifferent: Aki meets a girl called Ririko who is prone to get angry and hold grudges. Later [[FieryRedhead Asuka]] meets Ririko's overbearing and strict mother, and gets pretty irritated at the woman's attitude. Then Ririko tells her schoolmates that her mother is like that because if they are not the best nobody will respect them... In other words, they have the same mindset Asuka had been fed with since she was a little child. Upon hearing it, [[http://www.jimmys-desktop.de/aki.php?browse.4.130 Asuka got frozen in the spot]].

** When Maya offers to get Aki some tea at a vending machine she responds with "But I'm a girl...!"
** Also, when Aki first sees the Geofront, she says, "Wow! A real-" "-ly big cave!"

* RummageSaleReject: Aki likes to wear clothes that are too big for her.

* SpinOffspring

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Aki looks very similar to Yui (and by association Rei) but also has some features of her mother. [[spoiler:Shinji and Asuka's second daughter in ''Sisters'' looks more like Shinji.]]
* StylisticSuck: Aki's drawings are intentionally made poorer than Jimmy's art, since she is a toddler.

* RecursiveFanFic: The comic has inspired a number of fan works of its own, including both fan art and fan fiction.
