History Manga / AiKora

* {{Expy}}: Two characters are clearly inspired by NeonGenesisEvangelion: Sensei Tsubame has purple hair, drinks heavily, and is a car nut/crazy driver -- Misato. Sakurako has orange hair with red ribbons, blue eyes, and a fiery temper -- Asuka Langley Sohryu.

* {{Chickification}}: Neatly averted by Kirino. [[spoiler:After starting her idol career, Hachibei saves her from a LoonyFan, but she reminded him (with a vivid demonstration) that she didn't really need his help.]]

* {{Fetish}}es: Made into a ''plot device'' with Maeda's "parts love"; his [[MaleGaze focus]] also provides the FetishFuel.
** There's a lot of "[[MonsterOfTheWeek fetish of the week]]" chapters too.

* HeavyVoice: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Hachibei in [[http://www.tenmanga.com/chapter/AiKora88/134965-14.html chapter 88, page 14]] when he tells Kirino, after she has gained weight due to a drug slipped into the dorm's water supply, that her "voice is fatter". This is a pun in the original Japanese version of the manga, in which Hachibei tells Kirino "koefuto", which can usually mean "to grow fat", but in this context it includes the word "koe" meaning "voice".

* ShoutOut: From ''{{Platoon}}'' and ''LandOfTheDead'' to ''InitialD'' and ''Sally The Witch''... and those are just for starters.

** Chapter 27 has a picture of Yukari and her doujinshi circle dressed up as [[http://tenmanga.com/chapter/AiKora27/134904-3.html Millia, Bridget, May and Baiken]] from VideoGame/{{Guilty Gear}}.
** An [[http://tenmanga.com/chapter/AiKora54/134931-12.html obvious reference]] to {{Initial D}} occurs during Tsubame's racing scene, when she suddenly displays a hilariously out-of-place [[ArtShift realistic face]].

* XMeetsY: ''LoveHina'', starring [[GreatTeacherOnizuka Eikichi Onizuka]] as [[strike:Keitaro]] Maeda.

* HaremNanny: Tsubame

* BottleFairy: Tsubame.

* {{Moe}}: Alternately spoofed and embraced.

* Sensei-chan: Tsubame-sensei. Though partially subverted because she doesn't mind being single and doesn't want to get married.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: The aforementioned {{Fanservice}} spoofing.

* RapeAsComedy: In chapter 51, [[spoiler:Ayame tries to rape Hachibei while ''making the other girls watch!'']]

The good news is, he's offered a place to stay... in the girls' dorm... with four beautiful women, each of whom has one of the attributes he's looking for in a girl (fiery redhead Sakurako and [[WhatBeautifulEyes her eyes]], shy and bespectacled Yukari and [[BuxomIsBetter her breasts]], twenty-something teacher Tsubame and [[ShesGotLegs her legs]], and sarcastic {{ninja}}-girl Kirino and her voice).

** Many of the characters look like the characters from ''MidoriDays''. Though the artist did draw both.
* FanDisservice: Old man wearing pantyhose.

* CuteGhostGirl: Who's got a SexyBack.

The bad news is, when he gets there, he finds the boy's dormitory has been burned down, and he can't afford an apartment.

* HotMom: Tenmaku's mom shows where the eyes came from, and Hachibe's certainly qualifies.

* IgnoreTheFanservice: If she doesn't have Hachibe's ideal part, no mater how hard she tries it wont get his interest

* SadistTeacher: Sajima, the guy who came to stop Hachibe and his parts fetish.
** [[spoiler:As it turns out, he and Hachibe are NotSoDifferent, as [[YouAreWhatYouHate they both are parts fetishists,]] although he has a reason why he stopped and why he's trying to stop Hachibe.]]

** [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/love_collage/v02/c013/6.html Hachibe's own Ideon gauge lights up.]]

** Possibly a [[http://tenmanga.com/chapter/AiKora54/134931-12.html reference]] to {{Initial D}} occurs during Tsubame's racing scene. That face is nowhere near as pretty as her usual face huh?

* RefugeinAudacity

* Refuge in Audacity

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop:[[spoiler:If someone doesn't understand love and only likes you for your breasts, wait for him -- at least he's honest about it]].
** [[spoiler: It doesn't matter if you stabbed your father with a knife, as long as your body parts are fine, then you must be a good person.]]
*** Then again, it is made very clear that Maeda is a perverted idiot, so his insights into moral questions should always be taken with a grain of salt.

** Which makes Hachibei (and us) a CakeEater.

* BabyGotBack: Haiji. Did we mention he's a guy?

The good news is, he's offered a place to stay... in the girls' dorm... with four beautiful women, each of whom has one of the attributes he's looking for in a girl (fiery redhead Sakurako and [[WhatBeautifulEyes her eyes]], shy and bespectacled Yukari and [[BuxomIsBetter her breasts]], twenty-something teacher Tsubame and [[ShesGotLegs her legs]], and sarcastic {{ninja}}-girl Kirino and [[AudioErotica her voice]]).

* AudioErotica: Kirino's voice is husky and sexy, at odds with her [[OlderThanTheyLook outward appearance]].

** Chapter 27 has a picture of Yukari and her doujinshi circle dressed up as [[http://tenmanga.com/chapter/AiKora27/134904-3.html Millia, Bridget, May and Baiken]] from {{Guilty Gear}}.
