Just to make that clear.
So, firstly, '''Experimental Comic Kotone''', the longest and oldest of the bunch. Essentially a gag-per-day comic centering on the antics of RobotGirl Kotone, her [[NoNameGiven Onii-chan]] and various other characters. To be fair, a better description would be that it is a parody of various {{Harem Show}}s, with a small habit of Lampshading various tropes found in HaremAnime. And, before you ask, no, it has nothing to do with ''Manga/ExcelSaga''.
Secondly, '''Magical Mina'''. As the name would suggest, this is a MagicalGirl comic [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin starring a girl named Mina]]. It is also apparently set concurrent to Experimental Comic Kotone. Is apparently very much influenced by both ''CardCaptorSakura'' and various {{Shonen}} anime.
'''Love Situations''' is a series of short stories exploring romantic setups based in some popular stereotypes of the genre. The first one is about extremely forward {{Kuudere}} Saki, and her (shy and more discreet) romantic interest. The second story features a setup with a Osananajimi whose relationship with her best male friend verge in the CannotSpitItOut. The third and current (and still unfinished) one is centered around a Tsundere girl and her tribulations. This is apparently his latest pet project, and probably the reason why ''Experimental Comic Kotone'' and ''Magical Mina'' both seem like OrphanedSeries.
[=ExCoKo=] and [=MaMi=] also feature an AuthorAvatar of Akira himself, as well as an AnthropomorphicPersonification of his computer, Tsunami.
----
!!Tropes in Experimental Comic Kotone:
* AnythingThatMoves: Konstantin. Just... Konstantin. The only kind of being he doesn't touch is cat girls. Guess which is the only being who is attracted to him.
* ArrangedMarriage: Haruna's arrival reason is that Professor Hasegawa arranged her to marry with Onii-chan, despite the latter's lack of consent or even approval of the whole setup. Haruna doesn't care and stays there anyway. [[spoiler:This is because she was there before: her backstory included a [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage perfectly arranged one]] with which looked like an Onii-chan doppleganger, and the arrangement only ended because the boy died of illness before they could marry]]. See that trope article for the details.
* BilingualDialogue: Haruna with ''everybody''.
* {{Bishounen}}: Explicitly mentioned in the author's comments for the comic in which Konstantin is introduced.
* BladeOnAStick: Haruna is quite proficient in handling a naginata.
* CatGirl: Anya.
* ChickMagnet: Like any dating sim protagonist, Onii-chan seems to unwittingly warp the reality around him in such a way that random girls fall for him upon first meeting. It's even lampshaded as a "Love Sim Syndrome."
* CovertPervert: Most of the females.
* CrashIntoHello: Parodied.
* CuteGhostGirl: Shion
* CuteShotaroBoy: Alex.
* DramaticWind: parodied back and forth
* {{Deconstruction}}: of HaremAnime, DatingSim games, and its related tropes.
* ElegantGothicLolita: [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-01-07&comic=ExCoKo Favored by Lisa, apparently]], though her normal outfit is not nearly so elegant. Later strips ''do'' establish her love of EGL, however.
* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: Kotone has a ''big'' collection of plushies, some of those she treat as alive in pure CompanionCube fashion. She even bonds over Alex towards this fact.
* EyesOfGold: When Laika gets [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2005-11-16&comic=ExCoKo these]], watch out. Her SuperpoweredEvilSide is about to come out.
* {{Fanon}}: [[invoked]]Actually encouraged by the author. He even gave one of his old domains to archive some of the fanworks, including a fanwebcomic following the adventures of EnsembleDarkhorse Junichi.
* FetishFuel: Of course there is some on the show, but In-Universe, the Professor thinks ''CardCaptorSakura'' has [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-05-05&comic=Parody loads of it]].
* GayOption: Konstatin, apparently.
* GenreSavvy: Professor Hasegawa, oh so much. Also most of the characters, in a way or another.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Laika and her older sister Fuuka. It's revealed that part of this involved a man, Jung (who actually is Fuuka's fiance), but not in the way most people thought...
* HandsomeLech: Konstantin is ''very'' good looking, but his lecherous ways keeps him from scoring.
* HoYay: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2001-11-26&comic=ExCoKo here.]] Also, Lisa's feelings for Laika.
--> '''Shion:''' [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2004-02-12&comic=ExCoKo Don't mind me. I'll be closing my eyes. Please go ahead with what you were doing.]]
* HyperspaceMallet: and naginatas, and blades, and... Just say that if you are female you're granted your own hyperspace pocket for your weapon of choice.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Konstantin reverses this by ''[[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-09-19&comic=ExCoKo being]]'' left-handed, which is actually a much easier ruse to pull off because 90% of the population is right-handed and so someone using their right hand will not stand out.
* InnocentInnuendo
* InstantFanClub: Shion, the apparent CuteGhostGirl, gets one this fast.
* LanguageOfLove: Haruna and Onii-chan seem to understand each other perfectly, even when she speaks exclusively in Japanese, a language Onii-chan doesn't knows. This became an important plot point: in the arc where Haruna's past is revealed, their mutual trust is broken, and with it, their supernatural understanding.
* LifeEmbellished: Konstantin is based in one of the author friends, who only shares personality and hairdo with his comic counterpart. Also, Professor Hasegawa is an obvious AuthorAvatar with shades of this.
* LoveDodecahedron
* LovingAShadow [[spoiler:Haruna, towards her dead fiance Mamoru and Onii-chan. It's implied that Junichi has this towards Mamoru, too.]]
* MagicalGirlfriend: ''every girl'' in Onii-chan's harem is one of this, in a way of another.
* {{Meganekko}}: Laika in the flashback arc. They were fake, but she still looked damn good in them.
* MomentKiller: '''Kotone'''.
* NotBloodSiblings: Konstantin believes that this is going between Kotone and Onii-chan. This is not the case.
** Although the aforementioned MomentKiller tendencies suggest that Kotone really doesn't want anyone else getting too close to her onii-chan...
* NoNameGiven: Onii-chan, to the point of perpetual HeyYou. It's deconstructed in one of the strips who lampshades this: it seems that Onii-chan ''has'' a real name, but every time someone tries to say it the universe conspires to forbid it, even if it has to choke the speaker to do so.
** That's because he's [[HelloInsertNameHere the protagonist.]] Hasegawa even refers to him as "the player".
* OlderThanTheyLook / YoungerThanTheyLook: parodied. Kotone constantly insist she is 18 years old, despite her [[{{Lolicon}} being about 12]] (in both looks, implanted personality, and apparently real building age), and gradually acting more and more younger than ''that''.
** Also, Laika's mother looks like a little kid. Everyone else initially thought it was her ''younger'' sister.
* ParentalAbandonment: Haruna's was left to be raised by her extremely strict grandmother by her quite hippie parents, apparently as the price for their freedom. And in a surpring turn, [[spoiler:Onii-chan's dad also left his family.]]
* {{Pettanko}}: Onii-san [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2004-01-16&comic=ExCoKo points this out]] about Tsunami, much to her dismay.
* PettingZooPeople: Anya is a catgirl, and her sister Lisa is inexplicably a fox girl. Both have the ears to prove it.
* PlotTumor: The more serious comics tend to drag on, something the author has admitted to.
* PornStash: Tsunami's mission on life seems to eliminate Professor Hasegawa's stash, while Hasegawa and Konstantin's one is giving one to a very unwilling Onii-chan.
* PostModernism: The comic recently[[hottip:*:late August 2010]] started up again, but rather than picking up the story arc that had been left hanging, the new story has the characters...writing their own endings to [=LoveSit=] because [[AuthorAvatar Professor Hasegawa]] is tired of drawing manga.
* RobotGirl: Kotone. Tsunami may be misinterpreted to be a robot, but in fact she's, in the author words, "closer to a computer fairy". [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2002-03-22&comic=ExCoKo It's explained here.]]
* SheIsAllGrownUp: An AlternateContinuity where [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-12-01&comic=ExCoKo Kotone gets a new body]] and actually becomes 18 for real. NotBloodSiblings ensues.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend
* SleepCute: there are a couple of arcs with this plot.
* [[SomethingTheyWouldNeverSay Something They Would Never Do]]: How Onii-chan sees through Lisa's transformation.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Laika's oni side.
* ThunderShock
* {{Tsundere}}: Laika and Lisa. Tsunami shows some traits of this, too.
* UnwantedHarem: Onii-chan gets one. Lampshaded [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-04-24&comic=ExCoKo here]].
* WebcomicTime: Lampshaded big time.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Alex is a boy and usually dress accordingly, but his inherent over-cuteness unfortunately targets him to episodes of forced crosdressing, where he emerges as a convincing girl.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Haruna. She is presented as the perfect Samurai wife, with [[BladeOnAStick naginata handling]] and all.
* {{Yandere}}: in one of the omake strips, three main female characters cosplay as three famous anime ones. The implications are brought up.
* YaoiFangirl: Shion.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Laika has natural turquoise hair. But it seems that in this world that color of hair is ''not'' natural, and in fact it's a hint of her being [[spoiler:the actual [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan Person Shaped Can]] of a supernatural demonic force]]. This stands specially because everybody else has plausible, or at least more realistic hair colors, even the RobotGirl, even the [[PettingZooPeople half animal girls]].
** But not the CuteGhostGirl. She [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/character.php?comic=ExCoKo&character=shion has blue hair.]]
* ZettaiRyouiki: Because no webcomic is complete without it, ''especially'' not one so heavily inspired by anime and video games. [[{{Lolicon}} Lisa and Kotone are responsible for most of it,]] with Kotone alone getting about as many instances as the rest of the cast combined.
** None of which compares to Tsunami in [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2007-07-04 this filler strip.]] Holy crap.

* NonActionGuy

----
So, firstly, '''Experimental Comic Kotone''', the longest and oldest of the bunch. Essentially a gag-per-day comic centering on the antics of RobotGirl Kotone, her [[NoNameGiven Onii-chan]] and various other characters. To be fair, a better description would be that it is a parody of various {{Harem Show}}s, with a small habit of Lampshading various tropes found in HaremAnime. And, before you ask, no, it has nothing to do with ''Manga/ExcelSaga''.
Secondly, '''Magical Mina'''. As the name would suggest, this is a MagicalGirl comic [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin starring a girl named Mina]]. It is also apparently set concurrent to Experimental Comic Kotone. Is apparently very much influenced by both ''CardCaptorSakura'' and various {{Shonen}} anime.
'''Love Situations''' is a series of short stories exploring romantic setups based in some popular stereotypes of the genre. The first one is about extremely forward {{Kuudere}} Saki, and her (shy and more discreet) romantic interest. The second story features a setup with a Osananajimi whose relationship with her best male friend verge in the CannotSpitItOut. The third and current (and still unfinished) one is centered around a Tsundere girl and her tribulations. This is apparently his latest pet project, and probably the reason why ''Experimental Comic Kotone'' and ''Magical Mina'' both seem like OrphanedSeries.
[=ExCoKo=] and [=MaMi=] also feature an AuthorAvatar of Akira himself, as well as an AnthropomorphicPersonification of his computer, Tsunami.

!!Tropes in Experimental Comic Kotone:
* AnythingThatMoves: Konstantin. Just... Konstantin. The only kind of being he doesn't touch is cat girls. Guess which is the only being who is attracted to him.
* ArrangedMarriage: Haruna's arrival reason is that Professor Hasegawa arranged her to marry with Onii-chan, despite the latter's lack of consent or even approval of the whole setup. Haruna doesn't care and stays there anyway. [[spoiler:This is because she was there before: her backstory included a [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage perfectly arranged one]] with which looked like an Onii-chan doppleganger, and the arrangement only ended because the boy died of illness before they could marry]]. See that trope article for the details.
* BilingualDialogue: Haruna with ''everybody''.
* {{Bishounen}}: Explicitly mentioned in the author's comments for the comic in which Konstantin is introduced.
* BladeOnAStick: Haruna is quite proficient in handling a naginata.
* CatGirl: Anya.
* ChickMagnet: Like any dating sim protagonist, Onii-chan seems to unwittingly warp the reality around him in such a way that random girls fall for him upon first meeting. It's even lampshaded as a "Love Sim Syndrome."
* CovertPervert: Most of the females.
* CrashIntoHello: Parodied.
* CuteGhostGirl: Shion
* CuteShotaroBoy: Alex.
* DramaticWind: parodied back and forth
* {{Deconstruction}}: of HaremAnime, DatingSim games, and its related tropes.
* ElegantGothicLolita: [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-01-07&comic=ExCoKo Favored by Lisa, apparently]], though her normal outfit is not nearly so elegant. Later strips ''do'' establish her love of EGL, however.
* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: Kotone has a ''big'' collection of plushies, some of those she treat as alive in pure CompanionCube fashion. She even bonds over Alex towards this fact.
* EyesOfGold: When Laika gets [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2005-11-16&comic=ExCoKo these]], watch out. Her SuperpoweredEvilSide is about to come out.
* {{Fanon}}: [[invoked]]Actually encouraged by the author. He even gave one of his old domains to archive some of the fanworks, including a fanwebcomic following the adventures of EnsembleDarkhorse Junichi.
* FetishFuel: Of course there is some on the show, but In-Universe, the Professor thinks ''CardCaptorSakura'' has [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-05-05&comic=Parody loads of it]].
* GayOption: Konstatin, apparently.
* GenreSavvy: Professor Hasegawa, oh so much. Also most of the characters, in a way or another.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Laika and her older sister Fuuka. It's revealed that part of this involved a man, Jung (who actually is Fuuka's fiance), but not in the way most people thought...
* HandsomeLech: Konstantin is ''very'' good looking, but his lecherous ways keeps him from scoring.
* HoYay: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2001-11-26&comic=ExCoKo here.]] Also, Lisa's feelings for Laika.
--> '''Shion:''' [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2004-02-12&comic=ExCoKo Don't mind me. I'll be closing my eyes. Please go ahead with what you were doing.]]
* HyperspaceMallet: and naginatas, and blades, and... Just say that if you are female you're granted your own hyperspace pocket for your weapon of choice.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Konstantin reverses this by ''[[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-09-19&comic=ExCoKo being]]'' left-handed, which is actually a much easier ruse to pull off because 90% of the population is right-handed and so someone using their right hand will not stand out.
* InnocentInnuendo
* InstantFanClub: Shion, the apparent CuteGhostGirl, gets one this fast.
* LanguageOfLove: Haruna and Onii-chan seem to understand each other perfectly, even when she speaks exclusively in Japanese, a language Onii-chan doesn't knows. This became an important plot point: in the arc where Haruna's past is revealed, their mutual trust is broken, and with it, their supernatural understanding.
* LifeEmbellished: Konstantin is based in one of the author friends, who only shares personality and hairdo with his comic counterpart. Also, Professor Hasegawa is an obvious AuthorAvatar with shades of this.
* LoveDodecahedron
* LovingAShadow [[spoiler:Haruna, towards her dead fiance Mamoru and Onii-chan. It's implied that Junichi has this towards Mamoru, too.]]
* MagicalGirlfriend: ''every girl'' in Onii-chan's harem is one of this, in a way of another.
* {{Meganekko}}: Laika in the flashback arc. They were fake, but she still looked damn good in them.
* MomentKiller: '''Kotone'''.
* NotBloodSiblings: Konstantin believes that this is going between Kotone and Onii-chan. This is not the case.
** Although the aforementioned MomentKiller tendencies suggest that Kotone really doesn't want anyone else getting too close to her onii-chan...
* NoNameGiven: Onii-chan, to the point of perpetual HeyYou. It's deconstructed in one of the strips who lampshades this: it seems that Onii-chan ''has'' a real name, but every time someone tries to say it the universe conspires to forbid it, even if it has to choke the speaker to do so.
** That's because he's [[HelloInsertNameHere the protagonist.]] Hasegawa even refers to him as "the player".
