B Gata H Kei: Difference between revisions

Along the way, Yamada and her friends are assisted by their ''erogami'' (sex gods), manifestations of their sexual desires and perverse consciences that also serve as narrator, being the only ones allowed to talk to the viewer. It's worth noting that all the ''erogami'' depicted resemble their associated characters - with some odd additions (for example, Yamada's has a white mustache, wears a pink kimono and carries a wooden staff. Mayu's resembles a chibi [[Magical Girl]] version of her, etc.)

 

----

== Tropes in ''B Gata H Kei'' include: ==

** [[It Runs in The Family]]: in fact, her brother takes it to near-lethal levels.

* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Kyouka

* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Yamada says something hideously perverted, Takeshita smacks the bejeezus out of her for it.

** And to a lesser extent: Misato and Katase.

'''Eros Diety:''' ''That-a-girl, blame the rain. Make it easier for the kids at home.'' }}

* [[Brick Joke]]: [[Vapor Wear|The entire second half of episode 5]].

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Kosuda worries that he won't be able to make his confession of love for Yamada during their school trip to Kyoto. {{spoiler|Yamada's frustrated [[Freak Out]] moment when he finally ''does'' work up the nerve doesn't help.}}

** {{spoiler|He finally spits it out in Episode 9: ''in front of the whole class'', during a popularity contest. Yamada is not amused.}}

*** Or so she thought. Yamada just really needed to go to the bathroom and was trying to hold it in.

* [[Daydream Surprise]]: A [[Dream Within a Dream|nested]] version. Yamada and Miharu engage in some [[Skinship Grope]] action... in the minds of the boys. Who then proceed to compare wang sizes... which is also an [[Imagine Spot]], both by Yamada.

** A professional camera's lens extending is used as a euphemism for Kosuda getting a boner.

** Venus flytraps are shown at some point. Well... [http://jisho.org/words/?jap=irojikake&eng=&dict=edict "Venus Flytrapping"] is a Japanese idiom for seduction. [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle|So now you know.]]

* [[Ecchi]]: Very, very ecchi.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: As manipulative and self-centered as Yamada can be, she has an agonizing time formulating her reply to Kosuda's confession: Telling him no would mean giving up all her chances to use him as her stepping stone in the quest for a hundred sex friends. But telling him yes (as Takeshita advises her to after getting tired of her agonizations) is out of the question, since it would be a lie. And Yamada wouldn't deceive anyone on something as important as that to get into their pants! {{spoiler|Of course, as Takeshita has already realized, it 'wouldn't' be a lie, but Yamada is too oblivious to realize that. In the end, she goes for the [[Tsundere]] type response: "I don't hate you!"}}

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Everybody is after Kyouka Kanejou when she appears in scene

* [[Expressive Hair]]: Just the middle bit of Yamada's cowlick [[Something Else Also Rises|flicks up when she gets interested]].

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]] {{spoiler|Thanks to [[Moment Killer|Moment Killers]], Kosuda gets a ''sprained ankle'' before he can actually do the deed with Yamada. As of the end of the 1st season, they STILL haven't done it.}}

* [[Fan Service]]: A myriad of [[Fan Service]] tropes are deliberately invoked by Yamada to catch Kosuda's eye. For the series itself, it may be easier to list which of these tropes are ''not'' used at one point or another.

{{quote| '''Kyouka Kanejou''': [[Blah Blah Blah|Blah blah blah blah blah...]]}}

* [[Friends With Benefits]]: Yamada at one point considers her relationship with Kosuda to be ultimately this.

* [[Gender Flip]]: Just another story about a sexually frustrated teenager looking for lots and lots of sex and failing comically. Except that this time, the protagonist is a girl.

** Oddly enough, the male-equivalent version of this story is quite rare in the realm of anime, outside of [[Hentai]] anyway.

*** One is dressed as a businesswoman and takes relationships very seriously, giving the sort of advice that Takeshita gives to Yamada.

*** The other one, however, is a complete maneater.

** Akai-sensei's is a high school girl, reason being that she never got a chance to mature since Akai was always busy with work.

** Kazuki's has longer hair, wears a Chinese shirt, and is very popular with other female erogami.

* [[Giving Up the Ghost]]: Kosuda's soul is gently hanging out of his mouth as he reflects upon how he ended up seeing Yamada underneath her skirt when she wasn't wearing any panties earlier that day.

* [[The Glomp]]: Not even industrial equipment is going to pry Misato away from Keiichi, [[Abhorrent Admirer|much to his disquiet]].

* [[Gratuitous English]]: In the manga, odd translations of the title often appear on shirts. "B Type H System"?

* [[Groin Attack]]: Poor, poor Kosuda.

* [[Harsh Word Impact]]

* [[Henohenomoheji]]: Yamada pictures Kosuda with this face after their brief first meeting. She's honestly not far off. Kanejou's [[Imagine Spot]] also features one when she's pondering over who Yamada's supposed boyfriend might be.

** It's perhaps worth mentioning that [[Yukari Tamura]] is best known as Nanoha from [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]. Hearing Nanoha proudly exclaim 'I will have 100 fuck-buddies!' will ''really'' mess with your head. (Ditto if you know her as [[Pita-Ten|Misha]] or [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni|Rika.]]) See [[Strongly Worded Letter]] below.

*** Less so if you imagine it to be the [[She's All Grown Up|adult Nanoha]] from [[Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Striker S|StrikerS]]. Still way off given Nanoha's personality, but not nearly as creepy.

* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: Yamada is treated as far and above every other girl in the school in terms of attractiveness, but most of the main female characters are pretty much just as attractive. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] when Yamada enters the school beauty contest.

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Kazuki, mostly within her own house, but has the typical lack of shame associated with the type.

** Also, Yamada when it comes to how much her selfishness can hurt the people around her.

* [[Jerkass]]: Yamada.

* [[Moment Killer]]: In almost every episode. ''Three'' times in Episode 12 alone.

* [[Mood Dissonance]] - Episode 8, which {{spoiler|ends with Kosuda's confession apparently having been rejected by Yamada. Cue the sprightly ED, with Yamada still pursuing Kosuda. Ouch!}}

* [[Nice Guy]]: Kosuda, the poor, poor boy.

* [[No Name Given]]: Yamada. No first name given yet.

* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Miyano. Taken to extreme levels in episode 11, when she {{spoiler|accidentally wanders into ''Kanejou's super-guarded "brother room".''}}

* [[The Nondescript]]: Kosuda. Yamada saw his face only as [[Henohenomoheji]] before she finally remembered him. His appearance is basically unchanged since he was young.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Mami Misato, one of the background students in Yamada's class, looks a few years younger than the rest.

* [[One of the Boys]]: Apparently Kazuki. She was Mayu's "prince" when she was younger.

* [[On the Next]]: In a rare example of non-''erogami'' fourth wall breaking, Yamada pulls out a large wooden sign for her impending loss of virginity. Which is not going to happen any time soon.

* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: The homeroom teacher threatens the girls with this when they don't go to sleep during the class trip.

** Why 100 fuck buddies? It's a reference to the childrens' song "Ichinensei ni nattara" where the first line is "When I become a first grader, I wonder if I can make a hundred friends?".

** When discussing the possibility of Mayu being Kosuda's girlfriend in episode 2, Yamada rhetorically asks if she should call [[Golgo 13|Golgo]] to have him murdered.

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Yamada is clearly not going to meet her goal.

* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]: The word "condoms" is always replaced with a bird chirp.

* [[Title Drop]]: A [[Cherubic Choir]] singing the title happens ''every time'' Yamada actually admits to her relationship with Kosuda, in any way. There are also several episodes where she says the phrase. It even appears on shirts (see [[Gratuitous English]]).

* [[Tsundere]]: Yamada can be considered a Type B <ref>no relation to the series title</ref> because of how she always wants to be with Kosuda, but when he finally talks to her she acts very tsun.

{{quote| Kosuda, it's been a year and nine months since we first met, but it feels like it's only been three months.}}

* [[Two Shorts]]: The first half of each timeslot has its own episode title, and the second half has a different episode title.

* [[Vapor Wear]]: Yamada spends the entire ''second half'' of episode 5 not wearing panties. On a windy day.

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Yamada and Takeshita. Judging by how they support each other's love lives, they're best friends. Cue mutual snarking.

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Mayu.

** Kanejou pretends to be one.
