History Manga / Fuuka

* WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief: There are so many coincidences and outright unlikely events taking place, that this is practically a requirement in order to truly enjoy the story.
** ‘’Fuuka’’ supposedly takes place around 15 years after ‘’Suzuka’’, but the technology isn’t more than 2-3 years more advanced than at the beginning of ‘’Suzuka’’.

* MultipleEndings: ''Fuuka Special Edition'' volume contains alternative endigs for other heroines, much like ''Manga/KimiNoIruMachi'' bonus chapters.

** Yuu and Akitsuki are an item from the first chapter and start dating pretty early into the manga... [[spoiler:Right until the accident.]]
** [[spoiler:About more than a hundred chapters later, Yuu and Aoi do become this (with prodding from their bandmates), to the point where the latter gave her FirstKiss to him.]]
** Counting the ending of the Manga, [[spoiler:Nico and Tama of the Hedgehogs get married.]]

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There are two important characters with the given name "Fuuka".

* CharacterTitle: Played with in the manga, as there are 2 different central characters with the given name "Fuuka". [[spoiler:Initially, it's assumed the title refers to Fuuka Akitsuki; however, she dies in a car accident early in the series, which makes it appear as though it's become an ArtifactTitle. However, the band continues to bear her name and soon afterwards another "Fuuka" appears and joins the remaining members of The Fallen Moon... Who then rebrands as The Blue Wells, this time in reference to the second Fuuka.]]

* AcquaintedInRealLife: When Yuu was stuck alone with Sara shortly after she joined the band, he was shocked to find his online friend "The Admiral" posting a picture of the dessert she was eating right in front of him. He immediately asked online if she was in the booth with her, to her shock.

The manga is available in English digital-only [[http://kodanshacomics.com/2015/11/02/kodansha-comics-digital-only/ editions]], with new chapters being streamed on [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/comics/manga/fuuka/volumes Crunchyroll]]. It also has a 12 episode anime adaptation that began airing on January 6, 2017.

* CursedWithAwesome: A very meta example. Ever since he met Fukka, Yuu can't seem to stay on Twitter for more than five minutes without something going pulling him into a loony scenario. But he does get to date a ManicPixieDreamGirl for his trouble, so it's not exactly the worst suffering I've ever heard of. [[AnAesop See what happens when you put down your phone for five seconds.]]

** TheLeader: Yuu

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:The anime, having averted Fuuka's infamous death by truck, ends with Yuu and Fuuka officially beginning a relationship and the group preparing for more concerts. Meanwhile, Koyuki forms the band Rabbitz and the Hedgehogs plan their comeback. In the epilogue, Yuu and Fuuka return to the shrine where Fuuka first declared her desire to be a singer to reaffirm their hopes for the future.]]

Written by Creator/KoujiSeo (author of ''Manga/PrincessLucia''), ''Fuuka'' is set in the same universe as his previous works ''Manga/{{Suzuka}}'' and ''Manga/KimiNoIruMachi'' but is ultimately a standalone piece.

* ThemeNaming: Not exactly apparent at first glance, but the members of Kanaria have their names based on the [[KatanasOfTheRisingSun Imperial Japanese Navy]]'s ''Mogami-Class'' Heavy Cruisers [[spoiler:(including Le Bard's Manager, Akira Mogami, who played bass with them during their heyday)]]. This also extends to their sound engineer, who bears the name of the youngest ship of the said class ''Kumano''.

* PragmaticAdaptation: [[spoiler:WordOfGod has given three reasons for averting Fuuka's death in the anime: they didn't want the anime to have a DownerEnding; they didn't think they could adequately portray the effects of Fuuka's death within the remaining two episodes; and the crew members ''really'' wanted to see her survive.]]

* AlwaysSecondBest: Koyuki and Sara. Both of them have crushes on Yuu, but both come up short and lose Yuu to Akitsuki. After [[spoiler:Akitsuki dies, it seems that they are on the brink of losing to Aoi]]. This tends to happen with the band itself as well; they're often inconsistent in live performances, but when they put it together and put on a great show, they almost always get shown up by another band, whether its Le Bard, the Rabbitz, or the Hedgehogs.

* GenerationXerox: For those who have watched/read ''Manga/{{Suzuka}}'', there are some similarities between Suzuka and Fuuka's stories. [[spoiler: Suzuka had a crush on her track teammate who was killed in a traffic accident. Said track resembled Suzuka's eventual LoveInterest and series protagonist Yamato Akitsuki. In ''Manga/{{Fuuka}}'', the protagonist Yuu and Suzuka's daughter Fuuka become a couple shortly before Fuuka herself is killed in a truck accident. Later, Yuu meets another girl named Fuuka Aoi who reminds Yuu of Fuuka Akitsuki.]]

* ShoutOut: In the anime, there's a [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/89de0853731f9c4f786c185910c29bdc/tumblr_inline_olwb7tBltV1t9wof2_1280.jpg couple in a restaurant]] that look suspiciously like [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos]].

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Fuuka's infamous death by truck is completely averted in the anime, as the truck driver stops just short of her before the plot changes.]]

** Thanks to the Anime's AdaptationalAlternateEnding, this gets PlayedStraight.
