Akkan Baby
Akkan Baby is a 2001 three volume shoujo manga revolving around the adventures of two 16 year old Too Dumb to Live rock band groupies named Yuki and Shigeru. These two meet at a concert and start having a carefree Friends with Benefits relationship until some of Shigeru's more down to earth friends mention the possibility of pregnancy. After some humor based on Shigeru's inability to read a pregnancy test, she discovers she's pregnant. Hilarity Ensues.
Tropes used in Akkan Baby include:
- Door Step Baby: Yes, they find a baby on their doorstep as well.
- Friends with Benefits: Shigeru and Yuki's relationship until romance ensues.
- Gender Blender Name: Shigeru is usually a boys name, and Yuki can be a girls name - part of the reason that Shigeru's mom thought her always staying over with Yuki was OK.
- Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Played very straight.
- Papa Wolf: Yuki is very protective of both girl Shigeru and the Door Step Baby Shigeru.
- Meet Cute: Shigeru and Yuki.
- Pet the Dog: When the school principal saves Shigeru from a miscarriage.
- Teen Pregnancy
- Tinkle in the Eye: The Door Step Baby manages to pee on them too.
- Too Dumb to Live: Shigeru asks 'what's a condom?' in all seriousness. Yuki is similarly unfamiliar with birth control.
- Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: The name Shigeru and Yuki settle on for their son is Muni, after the onomatopoeia for his soft round cheeks.
