History Manga / LucuLucu

* PeekABangs: Lucu practically looks like a cyclops most of the time.

* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Lucu intenionally tries to make sure she catches Rokumon every time he tries to [[ADateWithRosiePalms knock his rocks off]].

* AxCrazy: In one chapter 64, the gang met with a nice-looking granny who said she an evil idol reminded her of her son. You can imagine what a surprise it was to have the granny turn into a KnifeNut whenever someone pretends to be him. Cue old lady with a SlasherSmile trying to kill everyone. I wonder ''what'' her son was like?

* {{Meganekko}}: Shiki Tohn--Harry Pott--I mean, Rokumon.

''Lucu Lucu'' is a gag manga revolving around the daily life of Rokumon (first name) Suzuki (family name), Princess Lucuha and her demon pals (who are all squatters in Rokumon's home) including Bubu, a sort of DeadpanSnarker and comedic foil to Rokumon and Lucu. But wait, there's more! We also have Rokumon's father and the angels that come to Earth in order to find out the demons' plans. However, unlike normal demons, Lucu is different. She feels human emotions and has a sense of duty to care for Rokumon and others, which the angels always mistake for some sort of diabolical plot. HilarityEnsues.

* CantGetAwayWithNuthin': You just can't, especially Lumiel, although, his arrest are more of the comedic sort. Sometimes subverted with Rokumon or the angels trying to find out what the demons are up to and they end up discovering something harmless. (But the angels will still [[SeriousBusiness make ''something'' out of it.]]

* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade B to A, depending on the angle and the how steady the mangaka's hand wants to be.

!!The manga provides examples of:

It's a cutesy and likable seinen manga, and it doesn't spare you of an IncrediblyLamePun here or there, and the plot isn't necessarily the focus, rather the interaction of the characters with each other is highlighted in the first 40 chapters or so. Rokumon seems to be familiar with Lucu, and he has a difficulty remembering his childhood, a mystery presented in the story, and he only knows that it was absolutely horrible, since his mom is presumably dead, and his father was a drunkard who gambled most of his money away.

* TheBlindLeadingTheBlind: The setup for a lot of the jokes, especially the religion ones. Kinda appropriate, huh?

* {{Crossdresser}}: Lumiel. Apparently the school would only give him a girl's uniform when he transferred into Rokumon's school. He also crossdresses for the school fair. [[spoiler: He wins the crossdressing contest.]]

* {{Fanservice}}: Pero. She's always close to naked, and she's TheDitz, and she lacks any common sense whatsoever, and she's got an inner-demon form thing, and she's just an idiot. A nice idiot, but an idiot regardless.

* LouisCypher: There is a reason Lucu's [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine weapon]] of choice is a morningstar. Not that she hides who she is.

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Most of the angels seen in Lucu^2 are well-intentioned, but overly suspicious of the demons who are actually trying to make the world ''better''.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Most of the demons seen in Lucu^2 are actually pretty nice. Lucu herself is a cute little girl, who seldom speaks and is trying to better the world. Also, even though Bubu can put on a scary face, he's actually pretty silly, but ironically more knowledgeable about the world than the tame Lucu.

!!Chapters of this series provide examples of:

* HypocriticalHumor: Christianity promotes modesty, forgiveness, and being non-judgmental. Jophiel's (an angel) idea of defeating the demons is beating them at whatever activity they are doing, or opposing that activity. For example, the demons cleaned up the town, so the angels [[YouFailLogicForever dirtied up and vandalized the town in order to destroy the demons' plans]]. The demons also helped in Rokumon's school's cultural festival, so the angels had to naturally set up their own MaidCafe. With [[FanDisservice Lumiel in drag]].

* RunningGag: Lumiel wearing a school''girls'' uniform at school. No he doesn't get a different one, and Rokumon can only [[{{Transvestite}} wonder...]] Also, Lucu hitting Bubu with chain and ball, Rokumon's house getting destroyed by the demons, Rokumon's house getting ''rebuilt'' by the demons, and Kitamakura's [[FetishFuel strange, strange]], [[{{Lolicon}} understood by some]], [[StalkerWithACrush obsession]].

'''Lumiel''': "SHOULD MONKS EVEN BE EATING BEEF?"\\

-->'''Ryokan''': "You said this world was created by God?"\\

-A fight over [[strike:sukiyaki]] religion.

--> "[[HumansAreBastards Humans are a despicable lot, committing sin after sin]], filling the endless boundaries of the underworld with tortured souls. Now, it would seem, Hell isn't so endless after all, and it has become dangerously close to filling, and then overflowing into the human realm. Princess Lucuha sees this imminent disaster and has a plan: save Hell by making humans decent again. Of course, the Angels can't simply allow Demons to roam freely on Earth, and they do their best to stop Lucu and her dastardly plans."\\
-Summary of Lucu Lucu from Baka-Updates

* AccidentalPervert: Rarely happens, but it does, to Rokumon. (By rarely, I mean, there can be a good six chapters before you see another ecchi moment.) However, because of its rarity, when it does happen, it's really, really funny.)

--> "They're recreating the atmosphere of hell in this house, and trying to create a gateway to the other world to send in their army!?"\\
-Lumiel, upon breaking into Rokumon's sweltering home

* TheBlindLeadingTheBlind: The setup for a lot of the jokes in LucuLucu, especially the religion ones. Kinda appropriate, huh?

* {{Satire}}: A lot of the jokes about religion in LucuLucu are heavy satire on things people actually do, for example, worshipping demonic idols, ridiculous excorcism methods, Church of Masochism, etc. etc.

Chapters of this series provide examples of:

* MindScrew: Well, Lucu's [[spoiler: doppelganger]] for one. However, the fact that Rokumon [[spoiler: NEVER EXISTED because he was possibly CREATED by LUCU was almost as traumatizing as learning that IT WAS [[ThisIsSparta ALL JUST A DREAAAAAAAAM]]!!!!]]

* ChivalrousPervert: Kitamakura. YourMileageMayVary on whether you like Kitamakura as comic relief or if you just groan at him and think he's an idiot. Anyways, Kitamakura's perversion knows no bounds, but he would only let Rokumon suffer, and not his victims of ogling, ''because that's what best friends do!''

* GainaxEnding: YourMileageMayVary, but it does come out of nowhere.

* MindScrew: Well, Lucu's [[spoiler: doppelganger]] for one, but YourMileageMayVary. However, the fact that Rokumon [[spoiler: NEVER EXISTED because he was possibly CREATED by LUCU was almost as traumatizing as learning that IT WAS [[ThisIsSparta ALL JUST A DREAAAAAAAAM]]!!!!]]

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Most of the demons seen in Lucu^2 are actually pretty nice. Lucu herself is a cute loli, who seldom speaks and is trying to better the world. Also, even though Bubu can put on a scary face, he's actually pretty silly, but ironically more knowledgeable about the world than the tame Lucu.

* YaoiFangirls: Kazue and the masochistic loli both become this. [[spoiler: Even when Jophiel is in Kazue's body.]]

* AccidentalPervert: Rarely happens, but it does, to Rokumon. (By rarely, I mean, there can be a good six chapters before you see another ecchi moment.) However, because of its rarity, when it does happen, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny it's really, really funny.]] I give you these [[http://www.onemanga.com/Lucu_Lucu/55/20/ two]] [[http://www.onemanga.com/Lucu_Lucu/55/21/ pages]] as evidence. (But it's only funny if you read the whole chapter...)
* AllJustADream: [[spoiler: ALL OF THE EVENTS PRESENTED IN THE SERIES.]] {{Or Was It A Dream}}?

* TheDitz: Pero. She's also amoral. She tries babysitting, but later on she leaves a note saying "I got bored" next to the baby.
* TheBlindLeadingTheBlind: The setup for a lot of the jokes in LucuLucu, especially the religion ones. Kinda appropriate, huh?
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Jophiel...maybe. He has the extremist part down, seeing as he believes the best way for you to get to heaven, is ''killing you''.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Lumiel, don't you know [[http://www.onemanga.com/Lucu_Lucu/48/03/ creationism]] isn't scientific!?

* FreudWasRight: That...um, ''questionable'' statue in Chapter 82. The one people were celebrating. That one.

* HeatWave: Chapter 46. Rokumon's newly reconstructed house has no ventilation. He wants some cool summer dishes to alleviate the situation. Lucu serves curry. HilarityEnsues. Also, here's an [[http://www.onemanga.com/Lucu_Lucu/46/21/ "It's A Trap!"]] from the same chapter.

* LesYay: First occurence, ''sixty-one chapters in''. It's between Jophiel and Pero. Did I mention that [[GenderBender Jophiel is in Kazue's body while this happens?]]

** [[FridgeLogic Doesn't this mean that Jophiel is ''slightly'']] [[spoiler:[[StraightGay gay?]]]]

* MostCommonSuperpower: Pero. And she uses them.

* HypocriticalHumor: Christianity promotes modesty, forgiveness, and being non-judgmental. Jophiel's (an angel) idea of defeating the demons is beating them at whatever activity they are doing, or opposing that activity. For example, the demons cleaned up the town, so the angels [[YouFailLogicForever dirtied up and vandalized the town in order to destroy the demons' plans]]. The demons also helped in Rokumon's school's cultural festival, so the angels had to naturally set up their own [[FanserviceWithASmile maid cafe]]. With [[FanDisservice Lumiel in drag]].

** The rest of Lucu's troupe also have thinly veiled names of major demons. Bubu, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS spellable as simply ''Bub'']], is Beelzebub. [[{{Satan}} Tan]] is a separate and much more pessimistic entity from [[{{Lucifer}} Lucu]] and plays his role as tempter and corrupter straight.
