Line 4:
''[[Beach Stars]]'' is a sports manga written and drawn by Morio Masahiro, focusing around a [[Joshikousei|high school girl]] named Nanase Iruka. She is hopeful for the new school year, with the knowledge that she will be able to play volleyball with all of her friends. Unfortunately, due to lack of membership, the volleyball club is closing down, and all of her other friends go off to do other things. However, when things look bleakest, she is taken down to the beach by her friends, where she meets the up-and-coming beach volleyball star Hayakawa Sanae, and her life changes forever...
The original manga finished in October of 2010. A short sequel, ''The!! Beach Stars'', started in December 2010 and ended in 2011.

Line 17:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Iruka is a bit short, especially for her chosen sport. Be sure ''not'' to remind her of that.
* [[Bifauxnen]]: Kurachi can easily be mistaken for a guy. She's tall, muscular, has a sharp jawline, and the first time you see her you can't really tell if she has breasts or not. The [[Mad Eye|eyes]] don't help much either.
** [[Amazonian Beauty|Of course she gets into a bathing suit, and it becomes a bit more obvious that she's female]].
** She also looks way more feminine in the flashbacks.
* [[Black Eyes of Evil]]: Thanks to their irises apparently taking up the majority of their eyeballs, the Sannomiya Twins (especially the incompetent sister, Hatsune) appear to have this. Although it's less ''evil'' and more ''stupid.''
Line 38:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: After winning the quarter-finals, Iruka decides to get some food... specifically, a ''giant hot dog.'' However, it manages to avoid the normal connotations, since she immediately bumps into Hiro.
** Who is ''also'' eating an enormous hot dog.
* [[Ecchi]]: Comes with being a series about beach volleyball, a sport already known in real life to be particularly sexually enticing.
* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: Iruka, who manages to {{spoiler|figure out the secret behind Kurachi's Cross Spike during the Madonna Cup Preliminary Finals.}}
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: The girls on the beach volleyball team refer to Honda as "Ponda-san" (usually translated as "Humvee" or something to that effect, as it's a pun on the fact that he has the same name as a car company). He really doesn't like it.
