''Kuroko no Basuke'' (''The Basketball Which Kuroko Plays'' or ''Kuroko no Basket'') is a sports manga by Fujimaki Tadatoshi which chronicles the high school adventures of Kuroko Tetsuya who, despite having been a regular player on the famed Generation of Miracles team, cannot dribble, fails at shooting, has low stamina, and often goes completely unnoticed while on the basketball court. Needless to say, when Kagami Taiga, the other protagonist of the story who has come back ''bored'' from American basketball standards, plays Kuroko, he easily wins. With that effortless victory, he advises the other to stop playing basketball forever, noting that talent and skill are more important than passion at times.
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
Now has a [[Kuroko no Basuke/Characters|character page]] that desperately [[Needs More Love]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Poor Aida in a one-piece, especially when Momoi introduces herself in a stylish bikini...
* [[The Ace]]: All of the Generation of Miracles, but especially Aomine.
Line 29 ⟶ 26:
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Between Hyuuga and Aida most notably (he's the only guy she hits for staring, blushing, and drooling at Momoi's ample cleavage)
** When they are planning the basketball team's training camp, the other guys on the team secretly followed them and complained.
{{quote|
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Momoi is somewhere between Type 3 (indifference) and Type 4 (vanity)
* [[Bishonen]]: Being a shounen sports manga, naturally the series runs with this. However, particular mention goes to Kise, who is acknowledged as one [[In-Universe]] - he even works as a model!
** Played with in that the guys are actually fairly muscular, with the faces and [[Anime Hair|hair]] being the bish part. Not that far from actual basketball players, who're generally considered to be some of the most handsome atheletes by women.
* [[Bland-Name Product]]: The burger joint where Kagami and Kuroko often hang out at
* [[Cast of Snowflakes]]: A great amount of detail is put into the spectators at the matches.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: One of their opponents, Hanamiya: [[I Lied|"There's no way I'd say that, dumbass."]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Kiyoshi, Murasakibara.
* [[
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Generation of Miracles as a team versus pretty much anyone. After they split up, a GOM player versus pretty much any team without another GOM player is also this. Aomine, who doesn't usually bother with showing up on time to matches, actually came on time for his match against [[Worthy Opponent|Kise.]]
** The Touou versus Seirin match (around chapter 40?) definitely counts as Touou's ace (Aomine) managed to win by practically double the points {{spoiler|despite showing up at the halftime mark}}.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: [http://www.zerochan.net/875757 All seven members of the Generation of Miracles team,] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130211024051/http://4.p.s.mfcdn.net/store/manga/5259/12-105.0/compressed/kims_kuroko_no_basket_ch105.knb_v12_108-109.jpg including the manager Satsuki Momoi.] They practically form a rainbow when they stand together.
** Kagami has this too.
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Sakurai Ryou of Touou, especially with his big eyes, girly face, and constant "I'm so so so sorry!!!" attitude
Line 83 ⟶ 81:
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Riko's dad. Kise may count to a lesser extent, as he adds "cchi" to the end of the names of people he's acknowledged, whether they want him to or not.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: A duty which, sadly, falls upon Midorima more often than not, especially with Kise's antics and Kuroko's apathy towards said antics.
** It's getting hilarious when this duty in Seirin team falls upon [[Pungeon Master|Izuki]] of all people. Especially noted in hot spring chapter when Seirin boys tried to peek on woman's bath. That he pointed out that his and Kuroko's skill is not for peeking.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Izuki.
* [[The Rival]]: It's a basketball manga so this pops up pretty often. The Generation of Miracles are all rivals to each other now that they've separated into different schools, the Crownless Generals were the rivals for the Generation of Miracles, and Kagami aims to defeat all five members of the Generation of Miracles.
Line 90 ⟶ 88:
** Invoked by Kuroko at one point. At a team gathering, he claims he's been there the whole time, when that time, he actually was late.
** And hilariously inverted later on. Kagami goes to talk to Kuroko when he's concentrating on practicing by himself. When Kuroko notices him, he says, [[Hypocritical Humor|"Please don't sneak up on me like that. I'll get angry.'']]
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Kuroko and Momoi, especially in her [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102122817/http://www.tenmanga.com/chapter/KurokonoBasket38/186660-11.html introduction scene]
* [[Say My Name]]: Midorima is a common offender, particularly in the first Seirin vs. Shuutoku match.
** Aomine and Kise exchange this trope constantly during the match between their teams. Quickly reaches [[Narm]] levels, especially with Kise, who is executing this trope while calling Aomine "Aominecchi".
* [[Serial Escalation]]: There are plenty of examples - the amount of time Kagami manages to stay in the air, many of Aomine's shots (notably the one [
** Might be [[Fridge Brilliance]]? Opponents of the Generation of Miracles Team probably got blinded by [http://www.dm5.com/m93512-p2/ all the different hair colors they have to bother noticing another guy with oddly colored hair.]
* [[Serious Business]]: Of course, basketball.
