Line 1: ಠ_ಠ{{work}} ''[http://www.strangecandy.net Okashina Okashi]'' (also known as ''Strange Candy'') is a long-running, manga-influenced webcomic by Emi-Chan (artist/writer), Xuanwu, Kourin, and Tanzy (writers). It features six ordinary Japanese young people (five and one exchange student, technically) who, while all visiting visiting Tokyo Tower, were sucked into a portal to an anime-inspired universe (by another cast member who was trying to summon his own harem) and have been dragged to one fantasy world after another.

Team [[Butt Monkey]], Lycidia's lackey. Actual [[Covert Pervert]]. Running since 2001, the strip has tackled just about every anime and manga trope there is (and if they haven't, it's probably because they haven't gotten tovmbngnkbnbnm njmnnjf jdfjgjur jdfnhkjf mfgnmto it yet). ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Okashina Okashi contains examples of the following tropes: ===~~ * [[All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles]]: Both played straight and subverted, hard and repeatedly. Also a tentacle monster is chibi and apparently a girl. And some tentacles are quite polite and [http://www.strangecandy.net/d/20120405.html just need a friend to listen]. * [[Anything That Moves]]: Ho-chan and Eeichi Line 20: * [[Bishonen]]: The "Beauty Man Garden", full of [[Modesty Towel\|towel-clad]] [[Bishie Sparkle\|sparkly]] guys. * [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Not sure if this is the trope, but about Takeshi: {{quote\| "His abilities as a manager increase when he wears black sunglasses. Especially if he is indoors."}} * [[Catgirl]]: Teneko * [[Cherry Blossoms]]: Intentionally overused * [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Eri-Chan, Petra * [[Dogged Nice Guy]] (Takeshi, towards Keiko) * [[~~Everythings~~Everything's Worse ~~With~~with Bears]] * [[Evil Overlord]]: Lycidia (wannabe), Kerisu (actual) * [[~~Everythings~~Everything's Better ~~With~~with Sparkles]]: If it don't sparkle, it ain't bishonen. * [[Expressive Shirt]]: Eri-Chan * [[Fan Service ~~With~~with a Smile]]: Or in Eeichi's case, a wink and a leer. That and the "Beauty Man Garden". * [[Fetish]]: Several characters have them. * [[Future Me Scares Me]]: Eri-Chan runs into a future version of herself. The fact that "Ellie" outgrew her fangirlishness upsets Eri-Chan greatly. * [[Giant Enemy Crab]] ** Hit Its Weak Point Line 38: * [[Halloween Cosplay]] * [[Hammerspace]] * [[Harmless Villain]]: Kerisu zig-zags back and forth on this one, at the whim of the comic. * [[Handsome Lech]]: Eeichi (Eri-Chan treats Takeshi this way in an ongoing fit of [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]) * [[Idol Singer]]: Takeshi, the [[Macross\|Wingmay]] singers.

When Petra finds out she's a pacifist healer-type and can't even pick up weapons anymore she's less than pleased. * [[Shout -Out]]: Many. For example, tell me {{spoiler\|[http://www.strangecandy.net/d/20090514.html Daisuke]}} doesn't look like a [[Char Clone]] [http://www.strangecandy.net/d/20090611.html here].
