History Manga / GirlGotGame

* SuicideAsComedy: Hamaya half-heartedly tries to kill himself at least three times becuase of how pathetic his life is. All three are played for laughs, especially since he thinks his biggest problem is that he's still a virgin.

* EasilyForgiven: Yura pretty much gets off scot free for [[spoiler:KIDNAPPING KYO AND TRYING TO KILL HER.]]

What follows is an involuntary TwelfthNightAdventure as Kyo has to keep up with her male teammates, deal with her very unwanted female admirers, and put up with her jeryky roommate, who she of course falls in love with, all, of course, while keeping her real gender a secret. It doesn't help that later she feels life as a boy is making her lose her femininity

* AccidentalKiss: [[spoiler:Kyo and Yura]]

* GreenEyedEpiphany
* [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday Have I Mentioned I Am A Heterosexual Male Today?]]: When Kyo worries her secret is going to be exposed, her response is to run around groping every girl she can find. It's not the most elegant solution.

* SweetPollyOliver: Kyo

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Kyo when she returns at the end.]]
* TroubledButCute: Yura again.

* ShoutOut: Hamaya finds a large mushroom with white polkadots on its cap. Hamaya notes that it might [[SuperMarioBros make Kyo bigger if "he" ate it.]]

* AllClothUnravels: Happens to Hamaya once. At least it comes out in multiple threads rather than just one long one, although it's inexplicable how his underwear also disappeared ([[LampshadeHanging "Why even the shorts . . .?"]]).

* BananaPeel: Kyo suddenly slips on one in a jungle. The absurdity is {{Lampshaded}} (but it leads to Chiharu helping her up . . .)

* GenderVocabularySlip: Kyo accidentally uses "atashi" (female "I") once early on, but immediately corrects herself and uses "boku" (male "I") consistently afterward. [[spoiler:Yura later tells Kyo that she should be using "atashi", since she's a girl . . . then claims he was joking.]]

* IndirectKiss: Kyo's heart gets aflutter when Chiharu offers her a drink from his water bottle . . . but Hamaya grabs it first.

Kyo Aizawa is a 16-year-old girl who moves to a new town with her widower father. Though upset at first, she becomes excited to be starting school at Seisyu High, as it is famous for its cute school girl uniforms. After receiving a boy's uniform in the mail, her father comes clean: He used to be a stellar basket ball player in his youth, but an injury permanently derailed his dreams of joining the NBA. As Seisyu is also famous for its top-ranking men's basketball team, he wants Kyo to dress up up as a boy and fulfil his dreams for him. Oh, and she has to live at the boy's dorm too since it helps build camaraderie! Kyo is furious, but he's already forged her paper, so with much reluctance, she goes through with his crazy plan.

!! This show provides examples of:

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: After nearly being "molested" by Akari in a hotel, Kyo runs toward Chiharu...only for a butt-naked Hamaya (long story, though Hamaya [[NakedPeopleAreFunny inexplicably becoming naked]] is something of a RunningGag) stand between them, having Kyo's face land a mere few inches away from his crotch.
** In a later chapter, a drunken Hamaya attempts to kiss a [[RecursiveCrossdressing "crossdressing"]] Kyo. She shoves Hamaya right into Chiharu's face, who proceeds to make out with him, apparently too drunk to notice the difference.
