Line 2: [[File:Fujimura-Kun_Mates_7225.jpg\|frame]] Fujimura is a [[Delinquent]] who skips school because he [[Loners Are Freaks\|cannot make any friends]]. One day, [[Class Representative]] Usami Eriko comes after him to convince him to go back to school. And how does she do it? By [[Cloudcuckoolander\|threatening to color his cat's nipples black]]. Well, not really, she convinces him to go back to school by becoming his [[Nice Girl\|first friend.]] Though it turns out that not only is she the representative of a different class, she is ~~VERY~~''very'' interested in becoming a [[Relationship Upgrade\|different sort of friend]], and doesn't hesitate to let him know. Add in a male class representative who walks around in a horned helmet, and a [[But Not Too Foreign\|half-Japanese]] female class representative who [[Fauxreigner\|insists on speaking mangled English]], and Fujimura finds himself the [[Only Sane Man]] in a world full of cloudcuckoolanders. ''[[Fujimura-kun Mates]]'' is a manga by Shiki Seiichi, full of random humor, an [[Unwanted Harem]], and very impressive leaps of logic. Compare and contrast with ''[[~~D-Frag (Manga)\|~~D-Frag!]]'', another comedy manga about a delinquent meeting a cast full of oddballs, but replaces the harem and rom-com antics for more screwball misadventures in and outside school. ~~----~~ ~~=== Tropes in ''Fujimura-kun Mates'' include: ===~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Accidental Kiss]]: Chika pushes Shizuru and she falls on Fujimura. * [[Aside Glance]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fujimura_kun_meitsu/v01/c010/5.html Fujimura], after Shizuru's repeated declarations that she's [[Going Commando]]. Line 16 ⟶ 15: * [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: The whole manga. * [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Fujimura, upon seeing Eriko's luggage for the beach trip: {{quote\| '''Fujimura:''' DO YOU THINK THIS IS A MANGA!?}} Background characters refer to each other as background characters, and lecture each other on not standing out too much. The mosaics used for censoring can also be seen by the characters. They even comment on how ridiculous some of the censoring is. Line 25 ⟶ 24: * [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Himuro. Fujimura himself qualifies whenever he's not busy being outraged at the antics of everyone else. * [[Delinquents]]: Fujimura has a reputation as one and the fighting skills to match. Another character is a reformed delinquent. * [[Did Not Do the Research]]: The english grammar of the [[Word Salad Title~~\|word salad title~~]] has very unfortunate (or completely intentional) dual [[Double Entendre\|interpretations]]. * [[Engrish]]/[[Gratuitous English]]: Inui does this a lot, resulting in a fair amount of her dialogue not making sense. {{quote\| '''Inui:''' I'm fond of a little ''Air Hand''!~~<br />~~ '''Fujimura:''' ''Air''...ah, Karate<ref>[[Don't Explain the Joke\|At the risk of ruining the joke]], Kara (空), the first kanji in Karate(which basically means "the bare handed art of combat") can also mean "air" or "sky", which explains where she got "Air Hand" from.</ref>...you half-Japanese only use English in useless places, dammit. }} * [[Hair Decorations]]: Eriko has a flower in her hair, while Subaru and Shizuru have ribbons. Line 34 ⟶ 33: * [[Gay Option]]: The male class rep declares himself to be this. * [[Gilligan Cut]]: Despite thinking that Eriko and Subaru are up to no good (as usual), [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fujimura_kun_meitsu/v02/c024/8.html Fujimura refused to spy on them.] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fujimura_kun_meitsu/v02/c024/9.html Guess what he did on the next page.] * [[Hero ~~With~~with Bad Publicity]]: When Fujimura saved a girl from some bullies, all anyone focused on was the fact that he badly beat up some classmates and avoided him in school. * [[Hypocritical Humor]]: There have been at least two situations where the half Japanese foreigner Inui calls another character a Yankee or a gaijin. And yes, Fujimura lampshades it. * [[Indirect Kiss]]: Shizuru thinks this might be the reason why Fujimura has a problem with her drinking milk straight from the carton at his house. Line 53 ⟶ 52: * [[Rescue Romance]]: Subverted most gloriously in chapter 17, when it turns out that [[School Idol\|Yumizuka Subaru]] was {{spoiler\|NOT [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fujimura_kun_meitsu/v01/c017/6.html the girl he saved] from a group of delinquents, [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fujimura_kun_meitsu/v01/c017/8.html but the delinquent leader herself!]}} * [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Fujimura insists that he and Eri are just friends. Though he refuses to outright reject her advances. * [[Shout -Out]]: Dragonball, Doraemon, Saint Seiya, Gundam... Non-Japanese pop culture has also been referenced as well. Himuro's family inn, for example, is called the [[Terminator\|T-800 Inn]] because she liked the movie and made her dad change its name to it. * [[Shy Finger-Twiddling]]: Shizuru does this a lot. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Shizuru/Shitzuru. * [[Student Council President]]: Shizuru. * [[Super Strength]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110611062334/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fujimura_kun_meitsu/v01/c029/15.html Inui]. * [[Take That, Audience!]]: Shizuru says that [[Foe Yay\|Rival is read as Homo]], since people will [[Shipping Goggles\|misunderstand their friendliness with each other]]. * [[Teen Genius]]: Himuro is only 14 and is already attending senior high school. Note that the Japanese School System [[Don't Explain the Joke\|does not allow grade skipping]]. Line 65 ⟶ 64: * [[Trap Door]]: Himuro's trap of choice. Literally hundreds of victims within two dozen chapters. * [[Trap Master]]: Student Council Vice President Akira Himuro seems to have installed a system of trap-floors all across town without anyone noticing. * [[Tsundere]]: Fujimura. [https://web.archive.org/web/20121004053711/http://www.mangahere.com/manga/fujimura_kun_meitsu/c031/8.html Lampshaded by Subaru] and [[Tsundere\|vigorously denied by Fujimura]]. Shizuru to an extent, as well. * [[Unwanted Harem]]: Fujimura's constant refusals are not stopping three girls from [[Tenchi Solution\|deciding on their own to share him]]. ** And as of chapter 34, it's possible that there's a fourth girl that shows interest in him. Line 73 ⟶ 72: {{reflist}} [[Category:Manga]] [[Category:Fujimura ~~Kun~~-kun Mates]]
