Line #37 Webcomic/QuasiCake


1	''[[http://quasicake.net/ Quasi Cake]]'' is a collection of [[{{Animesque}} manga-like]] webcomics written and drawn by one Pai. The site's name comes from its gag-a-day comic of the same name, which is about a cat-girl named Mayple, her kitsune brother Zero and their friend Emella, and all their crazy shenanigans.

3	The second webcomic hosted on the site is named ''Looking for a Title'' (that is its actual title; it's not a placeholder), which is a ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' {{doujinshi}}, featuring Aoyama Mana, Ichigo's daughter. It is described as [[DarkerAndEdgier "Tokyo Mew Mew but tougher"]], but it still has plenty of light-hearted moments.

5	The artist is currently planning two other doujinishis: ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', neither of which will probably feature many (if any at all) characters from its source material (very justified in the case of ''Elves of Sylvarant'', as it takes place thousands of years before the game does).

8	!!Quasi Cake provides examples of...
9
10	* AllJustADream: Bizarre dreams apparently run in [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q43.html Mayple]] and [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q45.html Zero's]] family.
11	* AnimatedAdaptation: One is being planned for ''Quasi Cake'' as the artist experiments with doing animation.
12	* {{Animesque}}: It even reads right to left.
13	* ArtEvolution: Lampshaded and then inverted in a strip. [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q7.html "Who am I and what have I done with my art ability?!"]]
14	* ArtShift: A temporary one when the artist apparently couldn't use her tablet and had to hand-draw and scan in new pages instead. While you can tell it's the same artist, there are a few differences in shading style.
15	* AuthorAvatar: Pai, the artist, appears in the comic a few times, occasionally as a result of one of the characters breaking the fourth wall and addressing her. But even though she uses a picture of Mayple as an avatar for site updates, there is a clear distinction between her and the character Mayple.
16	* BadLiar: Everyone seems to want to lie about their math grades and does so very, very poorly. [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q1.html Subverted in that]] [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q42.html it ''always'' works.]]
17	* BishieSparkle: Zero spends a lot of his time trying to obtain bishie sparkles, usually with humorous results.
18	** [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q14.html Nooooo! Bishoujo sparkles!]]
19	* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q12.html Zero rants about Pai's other webcomic.]]
20	* CatGirl: Mayple. [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q37.html It apparently comes with its own set of problems.]]
21	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: All the characters show elements of this, but Mayple [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q5.html definitely takes the cake.]]
22	* DeadpanSnarker: Zero, when he's not flailing around about not having bishie sparkles or talking about how amazing he is. The titles for the individual strips are often pretty sarcastic, too.
23	* FascinatingEyebrow: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FascinatingEyebrow Mayple just can't do it.]]
24	* {{Hammerspace}}: [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q41.html Zero pulls a net out of nowhere.]] Lampshaded by the strip's title.
25	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Zero; the cast page describes him as arrogant but goes on to say that he has a soft spot for his sister.
26	* KubrickStare: Chiwacat, Emella's [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q9.html creepy cat]]... chihuahua... [[BuffySpeak thing.]]
27	* LethalChef: [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q30.html Mayple's pretty close,]] though it's more that she's so pathetically inept at doing basic things like turning on ''an oven.''
28	* MyNaymeIs: Mayple.
29	* OnlyOneName: Subverted — the characters are never called by their surnames in the actual strip, but the info page gives their last names.
30	* OnlySaneMan: In a cast full of eccentric characters, Zero is probably the closest to this and usually serves this role in gags (except where bishie sparkles are concerned).
31	* ReversePsychology: Emella [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q21.html unintentionally uses it on Mayple]].
32	* RunningGag: Zero's quest to get bishie sparkles.
33	* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q42.html Le gasp!]]
34	* ShoutOut: Happens every few strips or so, such as to ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' or ''VideoGame/DragonQuest''.
35	* ShipTease: PlayedForLaughs since these moments are ''always'' subverted in some way by the fourth panel.
36	* ShipperOnDeck: [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q32.html Mayple herself.]] [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q28.html Always.]]
37	* SmallNameBigEgo: Zero. [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q38.html His reasons for liking winter pretty much spell it out.]]
38	* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: [[http://quasicake.net/comic/quasicake/q36.html What happens when Mayple and Emella put on fake mustaches.]] Zero mocks them for it.
