1''[[http://manalanextdoor.com/ Manala Next Door]]'' is a comic done by Creator/{{Humon}}, of ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'' and ''Webcomic/{{Niels}}'' fame. It's actually a spinoff of ''Niels'' in that Jacob was originally a demon only Peter could see, and [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane possibly]] a drug-induced hallucination. Characters include [[AllMythsAreTrue angels, demons, and monsters from around the world]].

6!!''Manala Next Door'' provides examples of the following tropes:
7
8* AllMenArePerverts: Even the ''angels''. In the Youkai Bar strip, the male angel after spotting cute Nini, was pleased to stay...until he spotted a [[GagPenis tanuki]] looking at him.
9%%* AllMythsAreTrue
10%%* BarbieDollAnatomy: Nini.
11* BewareTheNiceOnes: ''Beware'' Nini. With a perfectly cute SlasherSmile, she commits the most gruesome acts.
12* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Tengu and harpies... are the same species.
13* CuteMonsterGirl: Nini the Kappa.
14%%* EatsBabies: Nini. And it's ''adorable''.
15%%* TheFundamentalist: The angels.
16* GentleGiant: Jacob, at least around other demons. [[ValuesDissonance Not so much for humans]].
17* GroinAttack: One strip presents us with a Sazae-oni, a {{Youkai}} that makes pearls with men's testicules. Lilith gives her a high five, Nini properly ''protects'' her boyfriend's crotch.
18* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: [[OurMonstersAreDifferent They're female Tengu.]]
19%%* HartmanHips: Nini's, described by Humon as "rocking."
20%%* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Jacob and Nini.
21* JackassGenie: When demon law required Jacob and Nini to grant a wish...
22* LiteralGenie: The guy did wish for them to be a maid and butler, he just never specified who would be in each role.
23* PetTheDog: Jacob likes human children, so won't let Nini eat them.
24* RaisedByOrcs: Jacob is a nature spirit who was raised by Asura, and thus became a demon.
25* ReallyGetsAround: Has Jacob ever met a woman -- or man -- he hasn't slept with?
26* RealMenWearPink: Jacob has many pictures wearing pink or making pink flowers out of thin air for Nini. Even commentaries say that he makes pink look manly.
27* StrawFeminist: Lilith. Doubles as Self-Deprecation, as Humon is herself a Feminist who's not above poking fun at the more extreme parts of the movement.
28%%* TooKinkyToTorture: The guy from an {{ImageBoard|s}}.
29* VoluntaryShapeshifter: Jacob can be literally everything someone wants. Too bad Nini is only interested in his butt.
30* WholesomeCrossdresser: Jacob and Nini as a maid and butler (respectively).
