''Kurumi's After Hours'' is a slice-of-life comedy comic from Black Manta, creator of Webcomic/TheFourthWall, but by a different artist. It follows titular protagonist [[ParodySue Kurumi Aoi]], and her daily interactions with her PsychoLesbian best friend, her HopelessSuitor, her NietzscheWannabe dog, and the [[InteractiveNarrator Creator]] himself. Puns, [[FauxlosophicalNarration fauxlosophy]], and [[TriangRelations love triangles]] ensue. Also more puns.

The comic can be read [[http://tapastic.com/series/afterhours here.]]

!!''Kurumi's After Hours'' provides examples of:
*AbortedArc: The creator decided to turn the gag-a-week comic into a longform story, but didn't go through with it after the first two pages.
*AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Sakura has an 18-year old daughter, but could easily be mistaken for her elder sister.
*{{Adorkable}}: Mashiro's attempts to impress Kurumi and his tendency to spout terrible puns.
*ArtEvolution: Compared to [[https://tapastic.com/episode/164443 earlier episodes]], [[https://tapastic.com/episode/383266 the new ones]] are more colorful. Justified since all the comics were drawn using a mouse until early 2016.
*AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite her ruthless trolling of Mashiro, Kurumi has shown many hints that she likes him back. Not that she'd admit it.
*BetterAsFriends: The concept of art itself friendzones the Creator. Ouch.
*DoggedNiceGuy: Mashiro. He's a very sweet, kindhearted young man, and even buys Kurumi a phone, a puppy, and takes her on a date to France. Kurumi's response is to ask whether he really wants to get friendzoned that badly.
*GreenEyedMonster: Nagi and Mash have a dinner date to make Kurumi jealous. Kurumi says the two can date whoever they want while she just stays at home and watches videos from her computer. Said video is a live feed from a drone she sent to spy on the two's date.
*HiddenDepths: The [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles tentacle monster]] in one of the first chapters? [[spoiler:He's a software engineer, and also HappilyMarried.]]
*HopelessSuitor: Nagi and Mashiro. Though later episodes are hinting that [[ShipTease Mashiro's not all that hopeless.]]
*HypocriticalHumor: The very first episode has Kurumi despairing over [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking starving African children, nuclear war, societal unrest, and 12-year old couples]], lamenting that all we're doing is sit back and watch like a lamb in a slaughterhouse. She then proceeds to watch cat videos.

*TheGadfly: Kurumi likes teasing Mashiro, that's for sure.

*YaoiFangirl: Kurumi's favorite manga is "Magical Yaoi Fairy Ranger Toranosuke-chan." Once she gets trolled into watching [[spoiler: Boku no Pico]] by someone who foisted it on her as a "mecha anime", she pauses in surprise for a moment, then says it's might just be the show she was looking for all along.
