I Love Yuri and I got Bodyswapped with a Fujoshi! (オレが腐女子でアイツが百合オタで, Ore ga Fujoshi de Aitsu ga Yuri Ota de) is a comedy manga by Ajiichi that explores the cultures of Yuri and Yaoi fandoms.
Tropes in this work include
- Bait-and-Switch Lesbians: Conversed in chapter 11, where Yoshida explains to Hoshina what Yuri bait is and how to avoid it. The example used is two pictures of what seem to be Yuri couples. A is two girls in underwear with one hand one each other's sides and looking at the viewer. B is two girls holding hands tightly while looking closely into each other's eyes. Which is the likely yuri bait? A, as it is implying the characters are inviting the viewer into their relationship.
- Box-and-Stick Trap: In chapter 6, Yoshida finds one set for him by Kashiwa, baited with a Lily & Rose DVD. He lampshades how stupid it looks... and still falls for it.
- Closet Geek: Unlike Hoshina, who is quite open about her love of Yaoi, Yoshida tends to keep his love of Yuri a secret.
- Conversational Troping: Considering the series partly functions as an exploration of Yuri and Yaoi fandoms, there is a LOT of this, usually in the form of one character explaining some aspect of their fandom culture to the other.
- Cute Little Fangs: Whether she's in her own body or Yoshida's, Hoshina always has one poking out of her mouth, to represent her mischievous personality.
- Disproportionate Retribution:
- Manko-san's punishment for Yoshida and Hoshina doing something "normie" in the manga club room is to flip their bodies.
- When Manko meets Yoshida's mom, who she knew back in the day, she gets angry and shifts the punishment to her, because she dared to have sex. Note that Hoshina and Yoshida remain stuck in each other's bodies regardless.
- Even the Girls Want Her: Yoshida-as-Hoshina ends up being hit on by multiple girls through the story, including Hoshina's best friend.
- "Freaky Friday" Flip: Courtesy of the Manko-san, the manga club room's ghost. Yoshida and Hoshina try various techniques for getting back into their original bodies, but Manko informs them that only she can put them back to how they were.
- Gendercide: Both Yoshida and Hoshina want to see the other sex get together with each other, but Yoshida takes it to the extreme, he wishes for all men including himself to disappear from the world, disgusted that they might taint women by their presence.
- Groin Attack: in one of the bonus manga, Hoshina decides to see which is more painful: a woman's period pains or a man getting kicked in the groin. To do so, she has a third character do the honors of kicking her. As she lays down clutching poor Yoshida's balls, she says that she saw her dead grandfather on the opposite shore of the River Styx. It is then noted that she never brought it up again.
- Lady Looks Like a Dude: Chapter 11 has Yoshida (still in Hoshina's body) being hit on by Suzuki, who looks very masculine indeed. Come the end of the chapter, though, it's revealed that Suzuki is on the ladies' basketball team. For good measure, her teammates then pull her shirt up, revealing a bra.
- Man, I Feel Like a Woman: Gender-Inverted. Yoshida is disgusted about undressing his new female body, but Hoshina is quick to strip down to nothing, take a picture of her new male body (penis censored for the viewer's benefit), and send it to Yoshida, asking him to save it to her phone for her. He deletes it, instead.
- Men Can't Keep House: Gender inverted. Yoshida is a neat freak, while Hoshina's room is Trash of the Titans. He's horrified when he sees what she's done to his room.
- Near-Rape Experience: Due to a series of misunderstandings, the last chapter of volume 3 ends with Yoshida nearly accidentally getting raped by his own cousin while still in Hoshina's body. It takes him revealing something that happened in grade school to convince said cousin that it was really him.
- No Periods, Period: Averted. Yoshida in Hoshina's body has his first period around chapter 6, and it's severe enough that he has to stay home for a few days. Also menstrual cramps are mentioned when trying to compare their pain to that of a groin attack.
- Not What It Looks Like: What triggers Manko's anger and the bodyswap. Hoshina trips and falls onto Yoshida, making it look to Manko like they are a couple making out. It is lampshaded how the whole thing is straight out of a typical love comedy.
- Paralyzing Fear of Sexuality: Yoshida has a deep-seated complex about sex and gender, adoring pure girls' intimacy while being disgusted at the presence of a male around them. Being in the body of a girl ought to be a paradise for him, but he still sees himself as male and thinks he does not belong among them.
- Portmanteau Couple Name: Conversed In-Universe. In the BL fandom, the ordering of names is important, due to the whole top/bottom dynamic they tend to run on. In the GL fandom, which typically lacks said dynamic, it's not very important in most cases.
- Show Within a Show: So many. To list a few:
- Lily & Rose, a very Yuri Magical Girl anime, where the two titular magical girls transform by (how else?) kissing! Yoshida LOVES this show, obviously.
- DabuDori (or Double Dribble), a basketball manga focused on well, basketball. Hoshina loves to ship players from the focus team with those on the rival team and draws doushinji about it.
- WataNobu, apparently an old school manga about feudal Japan. Manko apparently was a big fan in life, and insists that she will break the curse on Yoshida and Hoshina if they get her a doushinji of it.
- Take That!: Towards One Piece, or as the manga insists on calling it, One-*iece. Our hapless protagonists believe that Andou, who wants to go with them to see Lily and Rose: The Movie is not a proper otaku because she's read every volume of its manga and probably no other manga.
- Write Who You Know: In-Universe. Kashiwa writes BL doujinshi about a fictionalized version of Yoshida.
- Yaoi Fangirl:
- Hoshina is a huge one, to the point where she has her entire bedroom stuffed with yaoi artwork and body pillows of men.
- Yoshida's mom has a large basement in her house (that Yoshida never knew of) filled with shelves upon shelves upon shelves of Yaoi manga.
- Yuri Fan: Yoshida's a pretty extreme case himself. He has Yuri artwork and girly body pillows all over his bedroom, and prefers to sleep on the floor while two of said body pillows lay right next to each other in his bed, rather than get between them.
