''Hang in There, Kogasa-San'' is a VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Fan WebComic story about Kogasa Tatara and Sanae Kochiya being happily married and living together. Both are famous manga artists and the story describes their daily lives between traveling, conventions and general tasks for work. The catch is that all the story lines are based on the life of the author, Mizuki Hitoshi, comedically exaggerated.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Suwako and Kanako for Sanae. Kogasa's parents are even weirder from a human perspective but they don't anger her as much.

** There's some specific choices: [[Webcomic/TagDream Orange Jelly/Dei Shirou]] is a muscular guy with a flan pudding for a head, Yuzuna99 the maker of "Hang in there Kogasa-chan" gets an extra cutesy Kogasa in her style, and Warugaki gets a simple Remilia, fond of wiggling.
** Sanae's parents are also, obviously, portrayed as Kanako and Suwako while Kogasa's family...are not exactly Touhou characters.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: A lot of the humor comes from Sanae getting annoyed at Kogasa but there are also many strips that show just how much the two care for each other.

** A later arc gave {{justification}} to this--the author is from rural [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kochi_prefecture Kochi Prefecture]], where "country folks' hospitality is the amount of their food" and "sincerity is measured in calories."
** Yuyuko, much to Kogasa's despair due to two reasons: her tastes are expensive and recently she insists on Kogasa eating as much as her, usually when he's on a diet.
** A friend of his, who is Mokou in comic, has an even bigger appetite than Kogasa, easily eating a jumbo-sized bowl of ramen where Kogasa could not.

** [[spoiler:ActionBomb: The last panel of the above, look at the screen. Kogasa's about to be exploded by a Creeper ingame.]]
** [[PuellaMagimadokaMagica Kyubey]] is also a recurring cameo throughout the series. Usually as a less-than-trustworthy convention organizer which Kogasa of course ends up trusting, with terrible consequences.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Kogasa, who got drunk once by a ''single'' sip of beer.

* CovertPervert: Sanae. Not ''too'' covert though.
** Sanae's mother, Suwako, also shows signs of this, like getting angry when learning Kogasa first meeting Sanae didn't immediately lead to "passionate love" and being curious about Kanako and Sanae's sex life.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Happened more than one time to Kogasa, often by Sanae.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Ran has shown to be a demon behind the wheel, ironically though she (he?) was the only one exhausted after that driving trip.
* FanDisservice: Whenever Kogasa does something incredibly adorable, at least one commenter will remind everyone else that she represents a 30-some year old man.

* TheGadfly: Many characters in the comic gets at least one, mostly at the expense of Kogasa. Sanae is the most prominent though, especially with her CovertPervert tendencies which leaves Kogasa flustered. Kogasa however is able to do this to Sanae occasionally as well.
* GenderFlip: The writer is male (as are a few of the other characters); his AuthorAvatar is female in {{canon}} and is drawn as a female (with female underwear etc); and yet considered male in-story.

* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Yamame is usualy portrayed in-comic as Kogasa's friend and artist from Osaka. She speaks in a KansaiRegionalAccent (portrayed as a southern accent in the translations), as is [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1072815?pool_id=2420 shown to be not that good at math]].

* MoodWhiplash: Some of the humor comes from either Kogasa, Sanae, or a third party, saying or doing something that ruins an otherwise heartwarming moment. For a more serious example, Kogasa had to leave Comiket 81 early [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1089891?pool_id=2420 because of someone she knew had died]].

** During a trip Remilia demanded Kogasa stop at a service station and threatened to fill her car with "brown charisma" if she didn't.
** On a later trip, while Kogasa and Sanae were stuck in traffic, Kogasa needed to go but unfortunately didn't make it.
** Kogasa made it in a strip in July 2014, but just because a random person is willing to let Kogasa to use his house's toilet.

** Kogasa orders a meal only to get a wrong one or nothing at all.
** Yuyuko brings Kogasa or Sanae to restaurants that're massively overpriced for the couple.
** Yamame getting lost and/or arriving late.
** Yuyuko forcing Kogasa to eat alot of food when she gets the chance.
** Sanae for whatever reason being unable to go on trips.
** During the arc where they go to America, Kogasa having the uncanny ability to attract rain. Even so much as causing record-low temperatures in places.
* SequentialArtist: a certain amount of the strips was basically the pain of being a doujinshi artist; there were poorly-conducted cons that made substantial loss (q.v. the below [=PMMM=] convention)[[labelnote:elaboration]]The PMMM franchise's unprecedented popularity forced the convention to extend from a one-day, single-room convention to being held in two convention rooms several blocks apart, and the con was divided into three sessions such that every participant were only allowed to have 90 minutes of time.[[/labelnote]]there've been cases where he had to attend cons that he didn't want any part of[[labelnote:elaboration]]For example: He entered a con for the urophiliac {{fetish}} only to attend two other cons nearby that were already full.[[/labelnote]].
* ShoutOut: An entire arc was more or less re-creating ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. Fitting, since the arc was on a [=PMMM=] con.
** When Kogasa meets Sanae's dad, Kanako, who asks if she and Sanae considered marriage, Kogasa's apprehensiveness causes Kanako to charge a [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Satellite Cannon]].
** At a hotel when Kogasa mentions to Sanae that the food is delivered by a steam-train model, Sanae imagines the train from ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII''.

* WeightWoe: Sanae has that,and it affected Kogasa as well, as Sanae is actively weight-watching Kogasa.
* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: Some of the one-shot characters do this. It's unavoidable due to the author using some of the game's rather distinctive cast members as extras.

''Hang In There, Kogasa-San'' is a VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Fan WebComic story about Kogasa Tatara and Sanae Kochiya being happily married and living together. Both are famous manga artists and the story describes their daily lives between traveling, conventions and general tasks for work.

!!Tropes include:

* {{H-Game}}: Kogasa played one of these with obvious consequences.

** At a hotel when Kogasa mentions to Sanae that the food is delivered by a steam-train model, Sanae imagines the train from ''[[Film/BackToTheFuture Back To The Future 3]]''.

* {{Meido}}: In once instance, Kogasa has to dress up as this as punishment.

* PottyEmergency: During a trip Remilia demanded Kogasa stop at a service station and threatened to fill her car with "brown charisma" if she didn't. On a later trip ,while Kogasa and Sanae were stuck in traffic, Kogasa needed to go but unfortunately didn't make it.

* FanNickname: Sanaewife
** Kogasauthor
** [[JustForPun Sanaelation]], for the inevitable result of Kogasa drawing his wife's ire.[[labelnote:note]]Originated from an excellent fan translation of "yurusanae", itself an in-comic pun on "yurusanai" ("unforgiving")[[/labelnote]]
** Suwako-mama and Kanako-papa for Sanae's parents.

* FanTranslation: The Danbooru version via clever note placement.

* TheRedStapler: In a strip published in February 2014 that reflected events in a October 2013 convention, a staff of a RyokanInn that was mentioned in a November 2010 strip came to "Kogasa"'s booth and mentioned people started to come on a "pilgrimage" to that inn.

* ScheduleSlip: Rare for a daily webcomic. The only major period of slip was a 11-day period during mid-October 2011, when the writer claimed to be backlog of 16 pages of draft. He even tried to remedy the situation by uploading 3 archived strips in the beginning.

->Ohhh? I may exaggerate, but I didn't draw anything false, did I?
