History Webcomic / HangInThereKogasasan

* CulturalCrossReference: [[https://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1445032 One comic]] titled "Film/{{Commando}}" references the "dead tired" BondOneLiner from the Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger movie.

*** A special mention goes to [=Yuzuna99=]: since she's also associated with Kogasa, her avatar is an even cutesier version of the character (imitating her artstyle) with lighter coloration than Hitoshi!Kogasa.

* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Yamame is usually portrayed in-comic as Kogasa's friend and fellow artist from Osaka. She speaks in a KansaiRegionalAccent (portrayed as a Southern accent in the translations) and is [[http://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/1072815 shown to be not that good at math]].

* OtakuSurrogate: The comic turns the ''Touhou'' characters into otaku, since they are stand-ins for doujin artists. The comic itself reveals most of Kogasa's interests (besides ''Touhou'', he likes ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' and ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove''), Sanae loves ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''[[note]]sometimes to Kogasa's horror, usually when she tries to force him to watch it[[/note]] and ''Anime/KemonoFriends'' and is part of a ''VideoGame/KanColle'' doujin circle with Nazrin, Ran loves Franchise/HelloKitty, etc.

** There have been a few nods to ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove''; Kogasa's claims that he needs to replenish his "Karaokenium" by singing is based off a similar gag where Mahiro's mother says that she needs "Sononium" generated by [[CuddleBug cuddling her son]]. Additionally, in the first karaoke marathon arc Nyarko herself was used as the avatar for the store's manager.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Sanae is obsessed with penguins and will never intentionally pass up the chance to see them.

It is published daily on Website/{{Pixiv}}, and an English-translated and regularly updated version can be found [[https://safebooru.donmai.us/pools/2420?page=1 here]].

* {{Qipao}}: Kogasa loves it when Sanae wears these; she's savvy enough to know that if she agrees to wear it, she can get Kogasa to do pretty much anything she asks.

* {{Diary}}: The story is the author's journal.

* OtakuSurrogate: The comic turns the ''Touhou'' characters into otaku, since they are stand-ins for doujin artists.

** A later arc gave {{justification}} for 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."

''Hang in There, Kogasa-San'' is a ''Franchise/{{Touhou}}'' Fan WebComic story by Mizuki Hitoshi which tells comedically exaggerated stories from his own life and experiences traveling, attending conventions and {{Dojinshi}} festivals, and married life in general. The series' main conceit is that Hitoshi uses characters from ''Touhou'' (and rarely other anime and manga) as stand-ins for the people in his life, with [[Characters/TouhouSeirensenUndefinedFantasticObject Kogasa Tatara]] as Mizuki himself and [[Characters/TouhouFuujinrokuMountainOfFaith Sanae Kochiya]] as his wife.

* {{Crossover}}: Between VideoGame/{{Touhou}} and several other franchises when the characters would [[RuleOfFunny better suit the situation]]. The author has incredibly diverse tastes.

** One strip has Kogasa and Ran visit a ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' fan event at Karatsu Castle (Karatsu is [[RealPlaceBackground the inspiration]] for Hasetsu, Yuri Katsuki's hometown). Chen is apparently a big fan of the series, since Ran is getting merchandise for her and Chen tells her to buy ''three of everything''.

* ShoutOut: An arc about a disastrous ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' convention set during the show's nascent fandom ends up turning into a WholePlotReference to the series.

** Early 2020 saw the addition of a new gag: Whenever Kogasa indulges in her hobby of tinkering with electronics, readers will add in the Pixiv tag "[[AlternateCharacterReading Her job is written 'manga artist' but pronounced 'Jack-of-all-trades']]".
