'''''Futari Ecchi''''' is an [[Seinen|adult]] [[Manga]] by author Katsu Aki (''[[Love Lucky]]''), serialized in Japan in the bi-monthly ''Young Animal'' magazine.
 
Yura Kawada and Makoto Onoda are two young adults who met recently at a [[Arranged Marriage|match-making service]]. After falling in love at first sight, Makoto proposed to Yura soon afterwards... and she accepted! Now with the ceremony behind them, the two eager newlyweds are looking forward to their wedding night. However, there is just one problem: both are [[Their First Time|twenty-five year old virgins]], and neither one of them have a clue about what to do in the bedroom.

=== ''Futari Ecchi'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: particularly with Makie, Makoto's coworker who only sleeps with married men and has her sights set on him. She has gone so far as to ''plant'' a [[Lipstick Mark]] on him.
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: Both male and female. In Yura's case, complete with a survey and pie chart of how women feel afterwards.
* [[Absurdly Youthful Mother]]: Chiharu, Yura and Rika's mother, at 46 years old she looks so young that she could pass of as her daughters' sister to strangers.
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Don't know how "accidental" as Makoto gets throughout the series.
Line 30 ⟶ 27:
* [[Big Brother Bully]]: [[Played for Laughs]] with Akira, Makoto's older brother. He genuinely wants to help, but keeps butting ''incessantly'' in Makoto and Yura's sex life to give them "advice" that they don't even really want in the first place.
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Yura's endowment, which fills a Japanese E-cup bra (roughly a D in American sizes), is the target of much admiration, from both sexes, throughout the series.
* [[The Casanova]]: Matsuzaki is definitely a [[Just for Pun|playah]], though his [[Incredibly Lame Pun|antics]] [[Informed Attribute|usually don't work on several women in the story]].
* [[Catch Phrase]]: A "Here I go!" or something similar from Makoto, whenever he is about to, ahh, engage Yura.
* [[Caught with Your Pants Down]]: A variation; Makoto walks in on Yura watching one of his porn videos. In her defence, she didn't know what was on it.
Line 38 ⟶ 35:
* [[Coming of Age Story]]: Of the "late bloomer" variety.
* [[Crash Into Hello]]: Miyuki is the "beneficiary" of one with Makoto.
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: Both male and female. In Yura's case, complete with a survey and pie chart of how women feel afterwards.
* [[AbuseDouble IsStandard Okay When ItsAbuse (Female Onon Male)]]: particularly with Makie, Makoto's coworker who only sleeps with married men and has her sights set on him. She has gone so far as to ''plant'' a [[Lipstick Mark]] on him.
* [[Ecchi]]: While some of the explicit scenes in the [[Manga]] series are borderline [[Hentai]], for the most part it falls squarely into the [[Ecchi]] category.
** It ''is'' [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|in the title]].
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* [[Gambit Roulette]]: The playboy that Jun meets has various tricks for overcoming her initial reluctance and distrust and winning her heart (or at least the part of her that he's more interested in). One of them involves meeting her at the top of a long staircase, at which point Jun trips right before she gets to him, lands in his arms, and is left thinking that her heart is beating fast because of him rather than the stairs. How he could predict that she would trip at the right moment is anybody's guess.
* [[Hollywood Sex]]: [[Deconstructed Trope]]. ''Futari Ecchi'' is about two people who only know [[Hollywood Sex]] ([[Virginity Makes You Stupid|if that]]), and shows, realistically, what happens when they try to apply it.
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Jun, Jun, Jun... [[Wide-Eyed Idealist|in her search for true love]], she manages to [[{{spoiler:<br />|'''a)''' have a one-night-stand with a man she practically just met (who -- [[Sarcasm Mode|shock!]] -- turns out to have a girlfriend), ''right after'' breaking up with her boyfriend because she feels their relationship has lost the spark,<br />'''b)''' become the (oblivious) fifth sex-friend of an obvious playboy (despite the warnings of her best friend, she is devastated upon seeing him enter a love hotel with another girl) and<br />'''c)''' pursue an affair with a homely middle-aged married man, this time '''mere hours''' after first talking to him. One can almost not blame her father for calling for a family conference about her behavior...]]}}
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Basically the whole point of the series.
* [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]]: Since Yura is inexperienced with sex (and fairly innocent, to boot), her more experienced sister sometimes has to run the euphemism treadmill before she gets the idea.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
** Makoto exercises it on occasion as the series progresses, but out of stupidity rather than malice.
* [[My Girl Is a Slut]]: Rika sleeps with other men besides her boyfriend. [[Hypocritical Humor|When she suspects her boyfriend to be cheating on her with other women, it is pointed out that she does the same thing]].
* [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]]: Kyoko is [[Christmas Cake|30 years old]] and still maiden. In a [[Gender FlippedFlip]]ped version of [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]], this causes her anxiety.
* [[Names to Know in Anime]]: [[Yuji Ueda]] as Makoto, [[Tomoko Kawakami]] as Yura.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: A [[Running Gag]] with Akira.
* [[No Periods, Period]]: Very much averted.
