Kimono Fanservice: Difference between revisions

 

== Anime & Manga ==

** Also notable for a relatively normal teenaged male protagonist example. [[His Quirk Will Live On|The tradition is carried on]] by Watanuki {{spoiler|after Yuuko's death}}.

* ''[[Iro Otoko]]'' centres around a designer who is trying to market fashionable men's kimonos, which isn't working very well for him. Both he and others models walk around in them to advertise, invoking this trope.

* An [http://i-a.animepaper.net/thumbnails/preview/202881/1/%5Banimepaper.net%5Dpicture-standard-anime-fullmetal-alchemist-edward-elric-for-japan!-202881-nat-preview-141036ce.jpg omake image] for ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' features Edward Elric doing kimono fanservice in both senses of the term.

* This trope played out in at least three episodes of ''[[Maicchingu Machiko Sensei]]''. One episode featured the main character acting in a historical drama,another was set during the Lunar New Year, and the third took place during a festival. In keeping with the tradition of the anime, she lost her kimono everytime.

* [[Tear Jerker|Cruelly and dramatically]] subverted in [[Oniisama e...]]. During a flashback, we see {{spoiler|Kaoru Orihara}} wearing a yukata during a date with her boyfriend {{spoiler|Takehiko Henmi}}, and she strips naked in front of him... {{spoiler|to show him her physical scars after her [[Ill Girl|breast cancer]] caused her to have a mastectomy. She then breaks up with him, because [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!|she doesn't want to be a load to her loved ones]].}}

* Often occurs in festival episodes for the ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' series. May count more as a Type B than A, as the Cures often squeal about how a certain teammate looks good in a yukata.
