7''Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls'' is a Website/YouTube-hosted {{Fanime}} series, which has gained a certain amount of infamy in some circles ''just for existing''. The show chronicles the lives of CatGirl Raku-chan, her best friend Koneko-chan, and her love interest, the blue-haired Hitoshi-san. Animated in UsefulNotes/MSPaint and [[WordOfGod supposedly voice acted by Japanese forum members]], it's a confusing mishmash of JapaneseMediaTropes and GratuitousJapanese. Most episodes are but a few minutes long (including the theme songs), leaving little room for {{Plot}} or CharacterDevelopment.
8
9By around the third episode (and earlier, if you check the tags in the first video) it becomes apparent that ''NNSG'' is probably a StealthParody of Western {{Otaku}} culture, and many viewers consider the creators to be [[{{Troll}} Trolls]] of [[Fanfic/MyImmortal Tara Gilesbie]] proportions. However, the creators do have a trove of ConceptArt and character designs that implies that this was a sincere project at some point in its inception.

11On April 12th 2020, a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXjFRE0CDU4 5 minute animation]] was released on the official channel featuring the characters in an informational PSA on staying safe during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak, with all of the original cast reprising their roles. Although the animation quality is very much updated and improved with new modern software, the shitty art quality and awful voice acting are pretty much [[{{Continuation}} exactly as they left it in 2012]].

13You can watch the entire series on [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEA4FA04230851E59 this playlist]], and several episodes have also been uploaded to Website/NicoNicoDouga for added {{MST}}ing fun. If you don't feel like you can face it alone, there is a ''"Let's Watch!"'' of the series [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8B829A467FDCC8E6 here]]. The creator has a Website/DeviantArt [[http://nyanyandesu.deviantart.com/ here.]]

17----
18!!Tropes that ''Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls'' provides an example of:
19
20%% zce * AffectionateParody: To [[spoiler: {{Anime/Air}}]] of all things, considering what happens in the final episodes.
21* AscendedMeme: [[invoked]] Koneko says she thought the kidnapper's name was Geoff, which was a FanNickname created by a group of {{MST}}ers.
22* AllThereInTheManual: Until Episode 10, Hitoshi's would-be rapist goes by Kidnapper-kun, if the [=YouTube=] tags are to be taken seriously.
23* AmusingInjuries: Most of the injuries faced by characters are hilarious due to their over the top reactions, such as Raku-chan getting bit by a squirrel and her later falling flat on her face in episode 6.
24%% zce * AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Out of random, ''NNSG'' came back in 2020 to bring attention and general safety information concerning the COVID-19 epidemic. There weren't many jokes for it, but it was framed as a video sent to Raku from Koneko-chan.
25* {{Angrish}}: Raku-chan breaks into ridiculously loud and long screams when she is bitten by the squirrel.
26* AnimationBump: The animation and art for the scene in the park features decent shading, smooth(er) animation and a sharp decline in off model moments.
27* {{Animesque}}: All of the character designs are clearly inspired by anime. Also notable for using many, many JapaneseMediaTropes and UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics to go along with it.
28* AnimeThemeSong: The intro theme is the bubbly JPop variety ("TRUE ♥ LOVE" by jun ft. Schanita), being ripped straight from ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution''. Literally, ripped straight from a gameplay video, not even clean audio or anything, given that it includes the [[StudioAudience applause]] and [[AnnouncerChatter announcer]] from the game. "'''YOU'RE NOT AN ORDINARY FELLA'''"
29* ArtEvolution: It's hard to tell due to the constant OffModel nature of everything, but the art has changed in the time from the first episode to episode 9. In episode 10 the art and animation is slightly better by the show's standards.
30* ArtShift: The intro theme uses the older Website/DeviantArt concept art of the characters when giving their names. They actually look decent, compared to how they look animated.
31* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The squirrel that bites Raku-chan has fangs like a vampire. Also, [[spoiler:rabies]] isn't just a sickness that you get progressively weaker from. [[spoiler:Either way it works out in the show's favor, since Raku isn't actually sick with rabies; she's possessed by a Bakeneko.]]
32* AsideGlance: All the characters look at the viewer in annoyance in the finale after Kidnapper-kun's real name is revealed:
33-->'''Koneko-chan''': Oh! I thought his name was Geoff!
34-->''(Record scratch)''
35-->''(Everyone looks at the camera unamused)''
36* AttemptedRape: In Episodes 2 and 3, Hitoshi's kidnapper takes him away to his "secret place" so they can "have some fun". Luckily, this attempt is [[BigDamnHeroes thwarted]] by Raku and Koneko.
37* BeachEpisode: Episode 1.5 has the protagonists going out to a swimming pool.
38* BigDamnHeroes: Raku-chan and Koneko-chan heroically show up and save Hitoshi-san from the kidnapper in episode 3, successfully foiling the kidnapper's plans to have his way with Hitoshi-san.
39* BigNo: Hitoshi screams very loudly while he’s being kidnapped by the kidnapper.
40-->'''Hitoshi-san''': "NOOOOOOOOO! Don't take me away to your secret place."
41* BlandNameProduct: Koneko-chan and Hitoshi-san walk past a "24 Seven" convenience store in episode 6.
42* BlatantLies: The characters and the creators insist that they are ''actually Japanese'', despite clearly being American and speaking broken Japanese.
43%%* BlushSticker: As the series is based on anime, blushing used like a sticker is used liberally.
44* BookEnds: After the first episode, every episode starts with someone waking up, and most end with someone going to bed.
45* BreakTheCutie: The series breaks down the innocent Raku-chan. She goes from a kind and innocent girl to a broken mess after she catches rabies and love interest falls for someone else. It gets worse when she [[spoiler:dies from a broken kokoro]].
46* BreakingTheFourthWall: In the opening credits, when the song speeds up, the intro comments "Oh, that's too fast", a shout out to its DDR origins.
47%% zce ** Happens in the last episode too. See NoNameGiven below.
48* BreastExpansion: Raku-chan and Vet-sama's breasts are constantly changing size due to being OffModel. Vet-sama's in particular are drawn progressively larger to a comical degree throughout her appearances.
49* CampGay: Hitoshi-san's kidnapper has an exaggerated lisp, and has a high, feminine voice.
50* CaptainObvious: Raku-chan points out the obvious in Episode 5's first line of dialog, "Oh, my phone is ringing nyan, desu!" despite it being obvious that the phone is ringing.
51* CatchPhrase: Hitoshi-san constantly ends his sentences with "Nya... ''rawr''".
52* CatGirl: Raku-chan and Koneko-chan are the eponymous "Neko Sugar Girls", though they're never referred to as such, and the fact that they're catgirls is never actually mentioned until [[spoiler:Raku-chan turns into a cat]].
53* CerebusSyndrome: At first the show begins as some sort of RomanticComedy style anime, but starting with the fourth episode it soon becomes dark once [[spoiler:Raku-chan becomes infected with rabies. With no SnapBack or [[StatusQuoIsGod Status Quo]] to rely on, Raku-chan soon becomes weaker, before eventually running away due to feeling like a burden to her friends. After what appears to be a message from some sort of divine entity, Raku-chan transforms into a full cat. Eventually she is returned to her former self, however it appears she is still suffering from the effects of the rabies. Meanwhile, Hitoshi-san begins to see his captor [[AMatchMadeInStockholm everywhere]]. Episode 9 reveals that Raku-chan had a bakeneko demon inside of her, though it was taken out of her by Vet-sama.]]
54* CheekyMouth: Hitoshi-san is drawn with his mouth on his cheek in the opening. He also sort of has a regular mouth. It's a little creepy.
55* ChristmasEpisode: In between episodes 7 and 8, the series has what it describes as a "Kurisumasu Supesharu" in which the characters throw a Christmas party.
56%% zce * CharacterSong: Histoshi's is apparently [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBD_4UnVMs4&feature=g-u-u&context=G27c21d0FUAAAAAAAAAA Hips Don't Lie.]]
57* {{Cliffhanger}}: Many of the episodes end in cliffhangers, such as when Raku-chan and Koneko-chan find out that Hitoshi-san is kidnapped at the end of episode 3 and decide to go save him.
58* ContinuityNod:
59** In episode 4, Raku is wearing the white underwear she bought in episode 2.
60** And in episode 5, Koneko is wearing the pink underwear from episode 2.
61* CoverVersion: The channel has released multiple song covers sung by the characters, such as a cover of [[Music/{{Shakira}} "Hips Don't Lie"]] sung by Hitoshi-san.
62* ADayInTheLimelight: The video where Bokutachi-kun covers "Mask" by [[WebVideo/DreamSMP Dream]] gives a lot of focus on Bokutachi-kun's origins and insecurities.
63* DeathByDespair: [[spoiler: Raku-chan dies of a broken heart in the finale because she is so upset that Hitoshi-san rejected her advances to be with his kidnapper]].
64* DeliberatelyMonochrome: A flashback to the Squirrel Biting incident in episode 7 is in black and white to show it is a flashback.
65* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: In episode 9, it is revealed that rather than actually having rabies, Raku-chan is has instead been possessed by a bakeneko.]]
66%% zce * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
67%% zce ** Episode 5.
68%% zce -->'''Hitoshi-san''': [[spoiler:Don't worry Raku-chan, you're not alone and you'll never be alone. We're %% zce always here for you.]]
69%% zce ** And now Episode 9.
70%% zce -->'''Hitoshi-san''': [[spoiler:I'm sorry Koneko-chan. I just wanted something to take my mind off of Raku-chan's pain. Her pain... It pains me to think about that pain.]]
71* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The ending theme is sung by Raku-chan's voice actor, and seems to be from her perspective. Likewise, the final ending theme is done by Koneko-chan in Raku's place.
72* DramaBombFinale: [[spoiler:Hitoshi gets together with his kidnapper, and Raku-chan straight up dies at the end. Note that the former ''causes'' the latter.]]
73%% zce * DullSurprise:
74%% zce ** Koneko-chan isn't the most emotive of characters.
75%% zce ** Hitoshi-san has a really blatant one in episode 6.
76%% zce * DumbBlonde: Raku-chan, when she isn't acting like a [[ManChild child]].
77%% zce * EroticEating: The nurse/Vet-sama with the sucker in episode 5.
78* EvolvingCredits: In the sense that it only evolved after the series ended. The credits image updates to cross out Raku [[spoiler:after she dies]], which is about the only big change that happens.
79* EyePop: In the credits, Hitoshi-san's eyes are popping out when he sees Raku-chan and Koneko-chan's panties.
80%% zce ** Happens in episode 9 to Hitoshi (again), though it's less exaggerated.
81* EyesOutOfSight: The hair of Hitoshi's kidnapper covers his eyes. The only time he's ever seen ''without'' his eyes hidden is during Hitoshi's ImagineSpot.
82%% zce * FanDisservice:
83%% zce ** There are several instances of {{panty shot}}s and Gainaxing. It's not very hot, however, because the art style is extremely crude.
84%% zce ** Hitoshi-san fantasizing about his attacker in episode four, picturing him with no shirt, leather pants, and a visible bulge.
85%% zce ** Hitoshi in pink swimtrunks from episode 6 definitely counts. Ditto his pink mankini in the extra deleted episode released after the original series ended.
86%% zce ** Episode 8. Raku-chan's bikini. ''Good lord''. Not to mention Hitoshi losing his swimtrunks and the audience getting a good view of his rear...
87%% zce ** One of Raku-chan's panty shots in episode 6 is this is the regular sense, seeing as it comes off the heels of [[spoiler:her suffering side effects from rabies]].
88* FanSequel: [[invoked]] [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgW6Pjtny-PEN8l20d2qP_bp1FKTqREnh Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls: Mayonaka]]. On the original upload, [[ApprovalOfGod Yoli-chan left a comment showcasing her approval.]]
89%% zce * FlatCharacter: Everyone, although Koneko-chan has the worst of it. At least Raku-chan has her [[BuffySpeak whininess]] and Hitoshi-san seems like a smug JerkAss (even if it's unintentional).
90* FlagDrop: When Hitoshi-san gives a speech to his kidnapper about how he deserves freedom, the American flag appears in the background and the national anthem starts playing.
91* {{Flashback}}: Used in episode 7 after [[spoiler:Raku is changed into a full cat]], recalling the squirrel bite of episode 4.
92-->'''Koneko-chan''': "Do you think it might have been the [[spoiler:rabies]]?"
93* {{Foreshadowing}}: Hitoshi-san's [[spoiler:repeated daydreams about his kidnapper foreshadow him choosing Bokutachi over Raku in the finale.]]
94* FreezeFrameBonus: In episode 10, pause around the 12:24 mark and you'll see [[spoiler:everyone going bald and the lower half of the girls' clothes are missing]]!
95* FurryConfusion: When Raku-chan, a CatGirl, goes to the vet in episode five, there are a cat and a dog on a chair next to her.
96* GivenNameReveal: The finale reveals Hitoshi's kidnapper is named [[spoiler:[[MeaningfulName Bokutachi]]]]. Koneko thought his name was [[AscendedMeme Geoff]].
97* GratuitousJapanese: The characters liberally replace English words with the Japanese equivalent, or entirely random Japanese, mid-sentence. In-universe text and signs also get in on it; for example, the girls visit "The Kawaii Underwear-chan Store" early on in the series.
98* GratuitousSpanish: As the series goes on, Koneko begins to pepper her sentences with random Spanish words as well as the Japanese that most everyone else uses. She specifically calls a backpack a "mochila" when [[spoiler:placing a transformed Raku in it to carry]] and drops the surprisingly vulgar phrase "pinche carbon" (roughly the same in meaning as "asshole") in the finale.
99* HalloweenCosplay: In the ChristmasSpecial, Squeaker-chan is {{Cosplay}}ing as [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]].
100%% zce * HeterosexualLifePartners: Koneko-chan and Raku-chan.
101%% zce * HongKongDub
102%% zce * HypocriticalHumor: Quoth a comment on Episode 9:

104%% zce * IfItsYouItsOkay: Apparently Hitoshi-san's thoughts on his attempted kidnapper, post-kidnapping.
105* ImagineSpot: In the 4th episode Hitoshi imagines his [[AttemptedRape attempted rapist]] in leather pants with a clear, [[FanDisservice large bulge]], while Music/{{NSYNC}}'s "I Want You Back" plays in the background. He has another daydream in the fifth episode, still about his kidnapper.
106%% zce * ImpairmentShot: Raku-chan in episode 6.
107%% zce * IRememberItLikeItWasYesterday: Used in episode 5.
108%% zce * LampshadedDoubleEntendre: Hitoshi-san's assailant from episode 2:
109%% zce -->"Oh calm down, hun. I'm just going to take you to my [[SupervillainLair Secret Lair]] and we're going to have some... fun, if you know what I mean."
110* LargeHam: Hitoshi-san is extremely hammy and over-the-top. He constantly sounds like a SmugSnake, despite that type of voice sounding inappropriate for a {{Bishonen}} like he supposedly is.
111* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: The finale introduced four new characters -- Raku-chan's college buddies, who pop up to see her after reading she's sick [[spoiler:from "rabies"]] on Facebook.
112* LastSecondWordSwap: Hitoshi initially claims that they are in America during a speech to his kidnapper, before quickly switching to saying Japan.
113-->'''Hitoshi:''' I'm not even supposed to be here! [[[NationalAnthem The Star Spangled Banner]] begins to play] You have ''no right'' to hold me captive! There's freedom in this country, this is Americ-- Japan!

115* LoveConfession: [[spoiler: Raku-chan decides to confess her feelings to Hitoshi-san in the finale. [[DeathByDespair It does not end well]] for her.]]
116%% zce * LuminescentBlush: Also used liberally.
117* MaleGaze: When Raku-chan and Hitoshi-san first meet, it looks like Hitoshi-san is looking down at her breasts.
118* MarshmallowHell: Raku-chan's breasts completely envelop her squirrel friend when she picks it up in episode 4. This prompts it to bite her.
119* AMatchMadeInStockholm: After getting kidnapped, Hitoshi has sexual fantasies about his kidnapper and begins to see him everywhere. [[spoiler:By the finale they've voluntarily become a couple, something that kickstarts Raku-chan's death by broken kokoro.]]
120* {{Miko}}: [[spoiler: Vet-sama]] is revealed to be a Miko who can use her spiritual powers to heal Raku-chan.
121* MinimalistCast: The show has only 9 characters. 3 of them are main characters, and 2 of them are recurring characters. There's 10 characters if you count Dolce-chan, who was a scrapped character.
122* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Raku-chan in the fourth episode, upon being bitten by a squirrel, screams for about 40 seconds.
123* MomentKiller: In episode 5, Raku seems about to tell Hitoshi her feelings, but then Koneko interrupts with [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Mochi ice cream and green tea.]]
124* MoodWhiplash: The finale kept on going up and down with the mood, with one moment Raku nearly dying and the next we get happy montages.
125* {{MST}}: The ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8B829A467FDCC8E6 Let's Watch!]]'' series by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Iotametroid Failsafe Productions]] is an MST that reacts to and comments on the series.
126* NaughtyNurseOutfit: Vet-sama wears an extremely revealing nurse outfit that shows off her breasts and legs.
127* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: [[spoiler: Vet-sama being a Miko comes completely out of left field, and conveniently allows her to help cure Raku-chan]].
128* NoNameGiven: The kidnapper (until the final episode), so the {{MST}} series decided to call him Geoff.
129-->'''Raku-chan''': I hope you and...?
130-->'''Hitoshi-san''': Oh, his name is [[spoiler:Bokutachi-san]].
131-->'''Koneko-chan''': Oh, I thought [[MemeAcknowledgement his name was Geoff]].
132-->'''All''': [[[BreakingTheFourthWall Record skip sound as they stare at the camera]]]
133-->'''[[spoiler:Bokutachi-san]]''': Where'd you get Geoff from?
134* NoseBleed: Upon meeting Hitoshi-san for the first time, Raku-chan's nose began to bleed out of arousal.
135* NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization: Even though Bokutachi-san kidnapped Hitoshi-san and attempted to rape him, he was eventually forgiven just because Hitoshi secretly wanted it.
136%% zce * OcularGushers: Whenever Raku-chan cries.
137* OffscreenRomance: in the last episode after Raku-chan tries to confess to Hitoshi-san [[spoiler: we find out that he and his kidnapper became a couple without us even seeing how it happened.]]
138* OlderThanTheyLook: Raku-chan seems like a teenager, probably one who's recently moved out considering she rooms with Koneko-chan, but the finale shows she's a college graduate.
139%% zce * OneWomanWail: The [[spoiler: "spell"]] Vet-sama performs. ''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments And it is hilarious.]]''
140* OohMeAccentsSlipping: The voice actors try to use these weird, faux Japanese accents. And fail at them.
141* OverlyLongGag: Raku-chan screams for a ridiculously long time after being bitten by the squirrel in the fourth episode. When she seems to be done, she starts screaming again even louder.
142%% zce * PoesLaw
143%% zce * PuniPlush: The intended art style.
144* RealMenWearPink: Hitoshi-san is very masculine, but he wears pink swimming trunks in episode 6.
145* RapeAsComedy: While Bokutachi-san's attempted rape of Hitoshi-san is seemingly played for drama, it ends up being a very comedic scene.
146* RapeAsDrama: In the second and third episodes, the plot revolves around Hitoshi being kidnapped by a potential rapist. Raku and Koneko then go on to save him.
147%% zce * RedEyesTakeWarning: Hitoshi-san is a counter-example.
148%% zce * SensoryAbuse:
149%% zce ** '''Raku-chan's voice.''' [[https://youtu.be/N1WYBaiWOHA Most notably in this scene. Listen at your own risk.]]
150%% zce ** While Raku-Chan’s voice leans into this, she’s more of CuteButCacophonic most of the time.
151%% zce ** Vet-sama’s voice, on the other hand, is this constantly. Her voice actress seems to make a habit of being too loud and close to the mic.
152* SeriesContinuityError: In episode 5, Raku-chan is clearly wearing just a bra when she begins talking to Koneko-chan on the phone, but after the shot switches to Koneko-chan, she is immediately in her blue shirt.
153%% zce * ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: Weirdly only happens the second time around for [[spoiler:Raku]]. The first time, she comes back with all of her clothes, but the second time she transforms into a human naked.
154%% zce * ShoppingMontage: "Oh you have such kawaii underwear, nyan!"
155* ShoutOut:
156** Both ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' and ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' seems to get an inexplicable one in Episode 3.
157** In Episode 6 Koneko-chan says that [[spoiler:Raku-chan]] is gone, Film/GoneWithTheWind.
158** Hitoshi outright mentions ''Series/TheNanny'', of all things, in Episode 9.
159%% zce ** [[WesternAnimation/KappaMikey Dancing sushi?]]
160* ShrinkingViolet: Raku-chan is so terribly shy that when she first meets Hitoshi-san she gets a brain aneurysm that results in a massive fountain of blood gushing from her nose.
161* SlasherSmile: Hitoshi-san's kidnapper in episode 3 sports a wide, deranged grin as he explains his intentions towards Hitoshi.
162* SlipperySwimsuit: Hitoshi-san loses his pink swim trunks in [[BeachEpisode Episode 8]].
163%% zce * SexySantaDress: Raku and Vet-sama both wear a sexy Santa dress in the ChristmasSpecial. Vet-sama's dress is especially {{Stripperiffic}}.
164%% zce * SliceOfLife: Initially, the series starts off as mundane, with the only instance of anything "weird" about the genre being the fact that the main characters are cat girls. [[spoiler:However, the series eventually delves into CerebusSyndrome.]]
165%% zce * SoBeautifulItsACurse: Hitoshi-san apparently, considering a random guy is willing to break into his house in broad daylight to try and kidnap him for some fun.
166* SoapOperaDisease: [[spoiler:Raku-chan gets rabies from her squirrel bite.]]
167* SorryImGay: [[spoiler:When Raku-chan confesses her love to Hitoshi in the finale, he admits that he is gay and in a relationship with Bokutachi-san in the finale, leading to Raku-chan dying of heartbreak]].
168%% zce * StealthParody: All but confirmed in Episode 9.

170* SuddenDownerEnding: The finale ends with [[spoiler:Raku confessing to Hitoshi, only to find out he's dating his kidnapper, Bokutachi-san. Raku dies of a "broken kokoro"]] and the final screenshot is Hitoshi's mortified face.
171%% zce * SurrealHumor: Yyyyyyyyeah.
172%% zce * SweatDrop: Also used liberally.
173%% zce * TransformationSequence: Several -- both Raku [[spoiler:turning into a winged cat and back to human again]] and Vet-sama [[spoiler:turning into a shrine maiden]].
174%% zce * ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: There's this exchange:
175%% zce -->'''Hitoshi:''' [...] Her pain... It pains me to think about that pain.
176* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
177** Mochi ice cream and green tea make up most of what the main characters eat in screen, other than the punch in the ChristmasSpecial.
178** Episode 2 begins with Hitoshi-san sitting down to his favorite breakfast: Pocky and Ramune.
179%% zce * {{Troperiffic}}:
180%% zce ** As of December 2012, there are 10 episodes (not counting specials) comprising approximately 68 minutes of material. However, the intro and ending themes shave about 2 minutes off of each episode, giving us around of 62 minutes of actual storytelling, over 100 tropes and ''almost no actual plot''. There has never been a show that did so much, and yet so little.
181%% zce ** At its total 62-minute length, ''Neko Sugar Girls'' comes in at a trope every 13 seconds, which rivals ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' in trope density.
182%% zce * TroubledFetalPosition: Raku-chan in episode 6.
183* UselessProtagonist: Hitoshi looks to made out to be the PapaWolf to Koneko and Raku, but as soon as episode two starts he is kidnapped without any trouble and has to be saved by Koneko and Raku in episode 3. [[spoiler:Later on, he mostly fails to do anything useful after Raku has contracted rabies/been possessed, and ultimately, he is responsible for her untimely death.]]
184* UnusuallyUninterestingSight:
185** The eponymous Neko Sugar Girls themselves are apparently nothing out of the ordinary for this world, even though most of the people seen in the series don't have cat ears or tails like them. Nobody really comments on it either.
186** Hitoshi barely even questions [[spoiler:Raku turning into a cat again]] in episode 9, even greeting her normally when he runs into her.
187* VerbalTic: Raku-chan constantly uses the verbal tics of "Nyaa~" and "Desuuuu", inserting them at the end of most of her sentences.
188* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Koneko-chan's voice actress' - and by extension Koneko-chan herself - attempt at a (presumably) Japanese accent ends up sounding more like a stereotypical Spanish one; possibly Lampshaded with Koneko-chan exclaiming [[GratuitousSpanish "Pinche cabron!"]] [[note]]roughly, fucking asshole, or just simply asshole.[[/note]] in Episode 10 and peppering other random Spanish words into her sentences along with Japanese.
189%% zce
190* WingdingEyes: Raku-Chan gets the **spiral eyes** when she gets a nosebleed as seen in Episode 1.
191* TheWoobie: In-universe; in the fourth episode, Raku-chan intentionally tries to pass herself off as one to Hitoshi-san and Koneko-chan, in order to win even more affection from them both.
192* YouMeddlingKids: The kidnapper says a variation of this after Koneko-chan and Raku-chan save Hitoshi-san from him.
193--> '''Kidnapper:''' "I would have had my way with him if not for those meddling kodomos!"
194----
195-->[[GratuitousJapanese Oh, thats so sugoi!]]
