History Manga / OtakuNoMusumeSan

* BishieSparkle: Nicchi, when given enough sweets
* {{Bishonen}}: Nicchi apparently is one when he has enough sweets. He even sparkles.

* ImportantHaircut: Haruka cuts off her PeekABangs to emphasise to her elder sister how serious she is about following her own path.

%%* PeekABangs: Haruka's original hairstyle, which imitated her older sister's.

* NotGoodWithPeople: Kimiko is a rather extreme case, [[spoiler:to the point where she abandoned her own daughter, Taeko.]] She '''does''', however, [[FreudianExcuse have an excuse for this.]]

%%* {{Meganekko}}: A few characters, but Haruka springs to mind.

''Otaku no Musume-san'' ("The Otaku's Daughter") is a {{Shounen}} comedy manga that centers primarily around the life of Kouta and Kanau, father and daughter.

* BearsAreBadNews:
** Subverted as Kanau's friend Riko loves bears. Probably played straight [[http://bato.to/read/_/58895/otaku-no-musume-san_v5_ch29_by_village-idiot/11 here]].
** And don't forget [[http://bato.to/read/_/58898/otaku-no-musume-san_v5_ch31_by_nicchi-scans/4 this]].

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Nicchi, during Kouta and Nozomi's first time in the art room. He can be spotted in the corner of the panel in [[http://bato.to/read/_/58858/otaku-no-musume-san_v1_ch3_by_akatsuki-manga/2 Chapter 3]], but his presence is either missable or to be assumed as inconsequential. Chapter 58 changes that when we see Nozomi's recollection of the same event, where Nicchi's presence is much more pronounced.]]

* EnemyMine: For Kouta and Niichi, as is said [[http://bato.to/read/_/58890/otaku-no-musume-san_v5_ch26_by_village-idiot/11 here.]]

* {{Nosebleed}}: Haruka gets a small one [[http://www.mangareader.net/839-46726-31/otaku-no-musume-san/chapter-44.html at the end of chapter 44]], when Kouta comes out of his room in the morning in a suit and glasses.

** They even manage to have a blatant ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' (technically IOSYS) ShoutOut in [[http://bato.to/read/_/58889/otaku-no-musume-san_v4_ch25_by_village-idiot/17 an otherwise serious scene]]

* TakeThat: You can't help but think that [[http://bato.to/read/_/40586/otaku-no-musume-san_ch49_by_nicchi-scans/3 Serio's dialogue in the second panel]] was a deliberate shot at those who were upset about the WhamEpisode.

* YaoiFangirl: Haruka and her friend Rika, who {{Squee}} when viewing Kouta and Nicchi as [[http://www.mangareader.net/839-39449-12/otaku-no-musume-san/chapter-29.html something more]].

** The [[spoiler: revelation that Sousuke and Taeko are married]] definitely qualifies for one of these. Also has elements of the ShockingSwerve, since it was completely unexpected, though subtle hints were dropped, and [[spoiler:[[ShipSinking completely tosses out the possible Kouta/Taeko relationship.]]]]

%%Don't spoiler trope names.

-->'''Kouta''': A story about the landlady from 10 years ago...\\

** They even manage to have a blatant ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' (technically IOSYS) ShoutOut in [[http://bato.to/read/_/58889/otaku-no-musume-san_v4_ch25_by_village-idiot/17 an otherwise serious scene]]

** It is employed when [[spoiler:Serio remarks on the marriage between Sousuke and Taeko]]. [[TakeThat It isn't as subtle since it makes a pot shot at a particular group of his readers.]] It could also be a reference to how certain ''Manga/{{Kannagi}}'' fans reacted when they learned that one of the characters had an ex-boyfriend, implying she might not be a virgin.

* {{Landlady}}: Taeko. [[spoiler:In the final chapter, she and Sousuke have moved out, so Kouta is the new landlord.]]

* ReplacementLoveInterest: [[spoiler: Takurou is this, of a sort, for Nozomi. His slight resemblance to Nicchi (primarily their hairstyles and the shape of their jaw) isn't made obvious until the two meet face-to-face during Kanau's birthday party.]]

* ACupAngst: Haruka. Particularly in a PoolEpisode scene where she realizes that some ''pre-teen'' girls have bigger breasts than her.

* HeroicBSOD: Kouta falls into one after learning [[spoiler:Taeko is married, and to Sousuke no less]]. Nicchi reveals Kouta fell into one for about six months after Kanau's mother up and disappeared almost ten years ago, and came out of it the otaku he is now. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Kanau pulls him out after only a few days, this time.]]

%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Nicchi and Kouta

%% Don't add And The Fandom Rejoiced. It's a SugarWiki page.

%% ZeroContextExample entries are not allowed on wiki pages. All such entries have been commented out. Add context to the entries before uncommenting them.

* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: [[spoiler: Nozomi made one with Niichi, but he turned out to be a lolicon and she aged past ten. The fallout from this include Kanau's conception and Nozomi's disappearance.]]

* GagNose: Nicchi's nose, although it wasn't so when he was younger. It grows longer when the worst of his lolicon tendencies begin to show. [[spoiler:The second-to-last chapter reveals that the nose is fake.]]

* {{Lolicon}}: Nicchi is an open and unrepentant lolicon. It's played for laughs and {{Squick}} value. However,[[spoiler: this turns out to be a huge plot point in chapter 58. It's him being a lolicon that lead to the subsequent events of Kanau being born. Nozomi had feelings for him back in high school (and still does), and only used Kouta and Maesawa as ways just to get Nicchi to look at her.]]

* FanDisservice: Sousuke cosplaying [[UruseiYatsura Lum]] at Comiket. CANNOT UNSEE!

* TheDitz: Taeko's mother.

* GenreSavvy: Being an {{Otaku}} and all, Kouta (and no doubt the other otakus in the apartment) knows a thing or two about the terminology and such, like how he pointed out Haruka looked like a {{Tsundere}} with her GirlishPigtails after her ImportantHaircut. Unfortunately, he's [[GenreBlindness blind]] to the fact that her Tsundere-ness is aimed towards ''him''.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Nicchi and Kouta

* HotSpringsEpisode: There isn't a lot of fanservice here.

** Also employed when [[spoiler:Serio remarks on the marriage between Sousuke and Taeko]]. [[TakeThat It isn't as subtle since it makes a pot shot at a particular group of his readers.]]
*** It could also be a reference to how certain ''Manga/{{Kannagi}}'' fans reacted when they learned that one of the characters had an ex-boyfriend, implying she might not be a virgin.
* {{Lolicon}}: Nicchi is an open and unrepentant lolicon. Played for laughs and {{Squick}} value. However,[[spoiler: this turns out to be a huge plot point in chapter 58. It's him being a lolicon that lead to the subsequent events of Kanau being born. Nozomi had feelings for him back in high school (and still does), and only used Kouta and Maesawa as ways just to get Nicchi to look at her.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Almost everybody at some point, but Kouta all the time. Hilariously though Niichi also seems to be in the know for everything that is going on but just can't be assed to tell anybody.
** [[spoiler: Especially the fact that Nozomi never loved Kohta at all.]]

* LoveMakesYouEvil: What Kouta felt, after his first experience. He couldn't forgive himself for taking the purity of Kanau's mother, even though she was the one that jumped him.
** [[spoiler: Turns out that Kanau's mother jumped him just so she could get Nicchi to look at her.]]
* MayDecemberRomance: [[spoiler: Taeko and Sousuke]].
* {{Meganekko}}: A few characters, but Haruka springs to mind.
* MissingMom: The launching point for the manga.
** [[spoiler: The mother has returned to take her kids away from their fathers in what could be considered the most Jerkass way possible.]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: Taeko's mother
* OnlySaneMan: Considering the residents of the apartment complex, her friends, her own father, and her mother, Kanau comes across as this, at least to herself.
* OperationJealousy: By Nozomi Yukimura. Gone horribly wrong and [[spoiler: the cause for the majority of the plot.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Taeko's mother, explicitly. Her father isn't present either.]]

* ParentalFavoritism: [[spoiler:Haruka is the least favored of her siblings, at least according to her.]]

* PeekABangs: Haruka's original hairstyle, which imitated her older sister's.

* ProudToBeAGeek: As expected of the main otaku cast, but [[spoiler: Taeko's grandfather]] really came as a surprise.

* SelectiveObliviousness: One of the side characters displays this towards Nicchi.
** Or everybody failing to notice the Nagato family.

* ShipTease: Haruka and Kouta. In spades.

* ShowWithinAShow: Given that one of the main characters is an otaku, this does play some role in the story.
* SinkOrSwimFatherhood

* SliceOfLife: One of the genres the manga falls under.

* {{Tsundere}}: Haruka towards Kouta.

* VisibleSigh

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Taeko. Taken together with Taeko's mother being [[OlderThanTheyLook older than she looks]], it makes most people think when they're together that they're friends or siblings.
** Or, in one extreme stretch early on, that the roles were reversed and Taeko was the mother of a teenager.
** And if you want to stretch it, Kanae. She was born on Feb 29 so she is technically the age of 2.

* {{Badass}}: [[spoiler: Landlady of all people was this when she turned to delinquency in her early teens. Also her grandfather and at least some of his friends would qualify as this too.]]

* FiveManBand:
** Kouta: TheHero, as the main character
** Nicchi: TheLancer, as his best friend, and ready to step up in take Kouta's place as '[[{{Squick}} father]]'
** Sousuke: MentorArchetype or TheChick, depending on how you look at it.
** Taeko: TeamMom, more or less literally, as she seems to do most of the cooking for the Higansou
** Haruka: TheSmartGuy, Smart and snarky, though a bit bullheaded.

* TrueCompanions: Arguably, the tenants of the Higansou apartments

** And to make a landlady like the female lead of ''MaisonIkkoku''.

*** It could also be a reference to how certain {{Kannagi}} fans reacted when they learned that one of the characters had an ex-boyfriend, implying she might not be a virgin.

* [[spoiler:BabiesEverAfter]]: [[spoiler:In an omake at the end of the last chapter Haruka is seen with her young son just learning to walk. The kid's eyebrows give away who the father is immediately. Taeko also has a set of twin girls of her own with Sensei in the last chapter.]]

* ChildrenRaiseYou

* [[spoiler: DidYouJustHaveSex: A FreezeFrameBonus with Haruka wearing dark black stockings before she kisses the BrokenBird Kouta and she is showing her bare legs after. This also could explain how she gets his child in the end.]]

* [[spoiler:PedophilePriest]]: [[spoiler:Nicchi becomes one by the time of the epilogue.]]

** And don't forget [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/otaku_no_musume_san/v05/c031/4.html this]].

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Nicchi, during Kouta and Nozomi's first time in the art room. He can be spotted in the corner of the panel in [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/otaku_no_musume_san/v01/c003/2.html Chapter 3]], but his presence is either missable or to be assumed as inconsequential.

* EnemyMine: For Kouta and Niichi, as is said [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/otaku_no_musume_san/v05/c026/10.html here.]]

* OperationJealousy: By Nozomi Yukimura. Gone horribly wrong and [[spoiler: the cause for the majority of the plot so far.]]

** They even manage to have a blatant ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' (technically IOSYS) ShoutOut in [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/otaku_no_musume_san/v04/c025/15.html an otherwise serious scene]]

* TakeThat: You can't help but think that [[http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/Otaku-no-Musume-san/Nicchi-Scans/50/3 Serio's dialogue in the second panel]] was a deliberate shot at those who were upset about the WhamEpisode.

** Subverted as Kanau's friend Riko loves bears. Probably played straight [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/otaku_no_musume_san/v05/c029/10.html here]].

* ShoutOut: To plenty of anime and manga series, but the ''MaisonIkkoku''-referencing gags are the best.

** Haruko's OldShame may be one to YamiToBoushiToHonNoTabibito.
