A [[Comedy]] with a side of [[Slice of Life]], ''Sakana'', created by [http://www.smackjeeves.com/profile.php?id=63098 Madeline Rupert], is one of the more popular webcomics hosted on [[Smack Jeeves]]. It follows the lifes of two [[Loser Protagonist|awkward]] Japanese brothers working at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. Taro, the older brother, while a [[Nice Guy]] and [[Big Brother Instinct|very protective of his younger brother]], is kind of a psychopath, and the younger brother, Jiro, is a talented register worker, but terribly afraid of girls. Other important characters are their friends, family and co-workers, especially [[Fun Personified|Taisei]], the slightly silly and always cheerful best friend of Jiro, and Yuudai, the [[Jerkass|gruff]] and [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] primary register worker, who bears [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|a constant grudge]] against Jiro for being better at selling fish than he is.
 
The plot revolves mainly around the awkward, yet hilarious situations the brothers encounter, such as Jiro's misadventures with girls, but is not afraid to delve into more serious matters.

** [[Disguised in Drag]]
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: Not "evil" by a long shot, but [[Tsunshun|Yuudai]] seems honestly confused why [[Nice Guy|Jiro]] would treat him kindly despite him treating him like shit, and the same happens when [[Love You and Everybody|Taisei]] is nothing but kind and sweet towards him. This is [[Played for Drama]], as it drives home [[Broken Bird|how much of a miserably broken person he really is]].
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: What would happen if we take [[Genki Guy|Taisei]] [[Nice Guy|Tachibana]]'s [[No Sense of Personal Space|most]] [[Fun Personified|notorious]] [[Perpetual Smiler|traits]] and put them in a [[Stalker with a Crush|much]] [[Knight of Cerebus|darker]] [[Faux Affably Evil|light]]? The answer is [[Dissonant Serenity|Arata]] [[Bastard Boyfriend|Tasaki]]. The fact {{spoiler|both guys [[Betty and Veronica|are interested in the same guy]]}} just makes this all the more apparent.
* [[The Fashionista]]: While Jiro is also interested in shoes or frequently goes shopping with Taisei, Taisei is primarily the one who loves fashion, all kinds of cool clothes and shopping. [[Irony|The bad thing is that he can't wear most of the clothes he likes due to his enormous height]].
* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: One of the main plotlines is the main four becoming this.
