Himitsu no Akko-chan: Difference between revisions

----

 

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: In one episode of the original 1969 series, Akko-chan attempting to be sympathetic to a deaf-mute kid, Akko-chan wishes to be a deaf-mute version of herself. In a [[Be Careful What You Wish For]], if not a [[Nightmare Fuel|really scary turn of events]] , after merrily prancing around in her deafened state, Akko-chan finds herself stuck with deaf-muteness: since the [[Literal Genie]] quality of the mirror kicked in, she loses her ability to enunciate words, and despite her heartwrenching attempts, the mirror refuses to acknowledge her repeated (and silent) pleas. She was ultimately changed back, {{spoiler|but only because the magic mirror was revealed to believe Akko-chan's desire for deafness shallow and impulsive, and wanted to [[An Aesop|show her how serious it is an handicap]]. }}

* [[Big Fancy House]]: Akko sometimes lives in one, specially compared with Moko's smaller house

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Both Akko and her best friend Moko

* [[He Also Did]]: This is an example for Fujio Akatsuka, who in Japan is often associated with slapstick-heavy gag-mangas, most notably ''Osomatsu Kun'' and ''Genius Bakabon''.

* [[Literal Genie]]: The mirror usually works this way, especially to impart [[An Aesop]], forcing Akko-chan to formulate clear, simple wishes.

* [[Magic Mirror]]: Doubling as [[Transformation Trinket]]

* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: In the original 1969 Akko, upon asking her mother for a school assignment, discovers to be the literal [[Replacement Goldfish]] of her stillborn, older sister, also named Atsuko.

* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: Akko-chan usually had to use the mirror to switch back as well, causing problems when she would temporarily misplace it.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Moko is the tomboy to Akko's girly girl

* [[Transformation Trinket]]: the mirror
