Kyonyuu Fantasy Gaiden, localized as Funbag Fantasy: Sideboob Story, is a side-story-sequel to the Kyonyuu Fantasy H-game that was originally released in 2011, but was finally localized in English in 2018.

Tropes used in Kyonyuu Fantasy Gaiden include:
  • Beauty Equals Goodness: Averted at times. While many of the ugly or at least non attractive characters are evil, a few are genuinely good or at least misunderstood. On the human side, we have Agatha, leader of the Church of the Holy Rood, who is one of the few of his colleagues who isn't an overbearing Hypocrite. We also have the Cyclops, who was misunderstood, not evil.
  • Biblical Motifs: The religion in-universe bears many similarities to Catholicism, and at one point Lute makes a direct reference to Mary Magdalene and her former history as a prostitute.
    • Christianity Is Catholic: Barely averted. While it's in-universe Expy is heavily modeled after it, it's got enough key differences from IRL Catholicism to qualify, such as a rather liberal idea of what actual virtue qualifies as, not to mention a lack of focus on a lot of the actual sacraments from the IRL version.
  • Gaiden Game: As the name says, though it's more a direct sequel and follow-up to the True Ending of the previous game. It picks up 2 years after the 1st game's ending (which is actually 1 year after the epilogue).
  • Harem Hero: Lute starts off this way, officially married to three of his harem members, and is just as bound to the others even if it's not official.
  • Only Sane Man: Who actually qualifies as one during the plot is a recurring theme. Most of Lute's enemies think the only one on his side is Gladys, whose competence is well known despite her penchant for skimpy daywear. Even among Lute's allies, only Emeralia seems to be able to keep her mind focused on actual business most of the time. Cuvier thinks he's the only one on his side who qualifies because of obsession with seeing Fronce remain the dominant power on the continent at all costs. Bazalt of Lingobard actually lashes out at the sane people from his kingdom, which they recognize despite their own flaws, and the cardinals of the Church who actually qualify are generally those with the least overweening ambition.
  • Reality Ensues: This game explodes the conceit the True Ending of the last game meant everything would be fine for Lute. In fact, this game covers all the loose ends and political resentments the previous game planted the seeds for.
  • Royals Who Actually Do Something: Drives the plot. Lute is considered a lazy Handsome Lech by his enemies, and while they aren't wrong to some extent, he's actually much sharper than he let's on, purposely weaponizing that perception of himself so his Obfuscating Stupidity continues to work for him.
    • His enemies also happen to be largely royals themselves, and they are attempting to be this trope to gain an advantage over Lute politically.
  • Running Gag: This game continues the incredibly dumb Faceless Mooks assassins gag from the first game, complete Lute foiling their schemes to a point it's insulting.
  • Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: Used somewhat, but in the manner of a Translation Convention. While most in Edelland speak modern English, the translation has the others from foreign countries make moderate to heavy use of this trope to distinguish the foreignness of their native languages. It's especially prevalent with characters from Fronce, which is rather logical, as Edelland is basically a Prussia Expy.
