History Manga / Kanamemo

* YuriGenre

%%* {{Bokukko}}: Hinata

* {{Cameo}}: Of a sort; the ending picture in every episode features fan art done by various manga artists, including Kurogane Ken, Creator/MiyabiFujieda, and [[Manga/KOn Kakifly]].

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The anime focuses on this kind of humor.

* BerserkButton: [[spoiler: ''Yume'', of all people has this in the manga, for some odd reasons and usually PlayedForComedy, but the most notable being in the 4th volume of the manga (first time the manga attempts a dramatic moment). Yuuki has another ClingyJealousGirl moment with Kana, going as far as pulling her hair, and Yume tells Yuuki to control herself, with Yuuki responding with a hug to Yume. Yume's response? ArmorPiercingSlap, along with some yelling. Yuuki forgives both of them and promises to stop clinginess.]]

** Haruka. They're never innocent, and usually involve Kana. Her first one was wondering which anime archetype (a {{Dojikko}}, a {{Tomboy}}, an ill girl or a {{Tsundere}}) would end up working at the office. In her ideal world, it would be all of them.

* CuteKitten: Bunta, the kitten that Yume brought home, serves as the series' mascot and becomes a mainstay of the office. This kitten also serves as the default censor image. In which there are a lot of. See episode 5. Episode 6 ramps this UpToEleven... in a scary way.

* FaceOfAThug: Whan Saki tried to have Kana make a win-customers-smile in episode #3. Her first attempt was the face of a demon (complete with KillingIntent leaking out, although only to people, who actually saw her smile), which made anyone, who saw it, nearly wet themselves. Saki used this to damage a rival's newspaper's sales (she sent Kana with her new friend Kujiin from the "Kajitsu Times" and it actually worked, frightening any potential customer). With training, she changed her smile into [[TastesLikeDiabetes something with an cuteness-overdose]].

%%* {{Meganekko}}: Haruka

''Kanamemo'': Middle school student Kana Nakamachi has just lost her grandmother, her only remaining family member. Fearing that the repo men will take her too, she packs up what she can into a knapsack. With just that and the clothes on her back, she sets off to find a place to stay. Meanwhile, the Fuhshin News office is looking for work, and the closest thing they've been able to find is a stray cat. With no one willing to take Kana in, she ends up having an unfortunate run-in with one of Fuhshin's employees, who's out for a bike ride, and gets knocked unconscious.

Based on the {{yonkoma}} manga by Shoko Iwami serialized in ''Magazine/MangaTimeKirara Max'', the series got an anime adaptation in the summer of 2009. US residents may legally watch the anime at [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/kanamemo Crunchyroll.]]

** In the manga [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Kana gradually develops romantic feelings for Mika]] and even teases Mika sometimes. The anime reverses this, or at least plays up Mika's feelings for Kana while making Kana [[ObliviousToLove oblivious to Mika's feelings]], in an attempt to make Mika more of a {{tsundere}}.

* TheQuietOne: Yuuki
* RefugeInAudacity: Haruka's pedophile streak.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Yume and Yuuki are boldly in love with each other. They share several kisses in the first episode already and are not shy to display their affection.
** In the manga, Kana and Mika, though not as blatant as Yume and Yuuki are in the anime.

* BlankWhiteEyes: Kana does this frequently.
* BlindWithoutEm: Haruka
* {{Bokukko}}: Hinata

* ImprobablyFemaleCast
* KissingDiscretionShot: Averted!
* KonamiCode: [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kanamemo/v01/c007/7.html In the Manga.]]

* {{Meganekko}}: Haruka
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Yuki gets a very elaborate one in episode 11.

** [[Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato Space Cruiser]] [[http://imgur.com/ZOoZV4U Nyamato]] [[StarWars in a galaxy far, far away]].

* {{Adorkable}}: Kana can technically be seen as this, as well as Yume.

* HomosexualReproduction: In chapter 20, Haruka deludes herself into thinking that Saki has gotten herself pregnant from someone in the staff of the newspaper (who are, as we know, all female); The panel is even called "Maria-sama", a reference to the Virgin Mary, who's first pregnancy also wasn't caused the normal way.
** In the animé (episode 9), there are no references to either someone of the staff knocking her up or to the Virgin Mary.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Mika's marksmanship with a toy gun at a festival firing range is so bad, the bullet ricochets and hits Kana (thankfully the gun fires cork projetciles at a very low speed, so Kana is very unlikely to sustain an injury any worse than a bruise), [[https://imgur.com/a/qjB4UEe who is standing next to her]] (it was just an EyeCatch in the middle of the episode, though, so it may not be canon).

* A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTT_Docomo NTT Docomo]] cellphone becomes a "[[https://imgur.com/a/PD0bow3 MTT Dacamo]]" phone.

* MediumAwareness: Kana shoos away the lily-bubble (those being a refernce to her seeing in Maki more than a friend) in her background after staring in Mika's eyes for a while.

* TerribleArtist: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Kana: The [[https://imgur.com/a/jF203WM drawing of the ogara]] ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bon_Festival obon]] offering) was looked like shit only because she did it in haste, the [[https://imgur.com/a/evqRtWZ portrait of her grandmother she did for a art class]] looks very nice.

* BestialityIsDepraved: When Kana gets attacked by a dog during newspaper delivery, Mika sees it and thinks Kana let the dog 'mount' her (which is, of course, just a misunderstanding).
