| Mao-chan | comment |
Mao-chan (陸上防衛隊まおちゃん Rikujō Bōetai Mao-chan — Ground Defense Force! Mao-chan or Earth Defender! Mao-chan) was written by Ken Akamatsu (post-Love Hina, pre-Negima! Magister Negi Magi) and illustrated by RAN.What do you do when Japan is under attack by Ridiculously Cute Aliens? Fight back with even cuter kids! It's the story of Mao Onigawara, Misora Tsukishima, and Sylvia Maruyama, three second-graders tasked with protecting Japan's national landmarks from the aliens... and keeping their grandfathers, the heads of the Ground, Air, and Naval Defense Forces, respectively, from fighting with one another about which one is superior, a problem that often gets in the way of their jobs. | |

Verbal Tic: Misora ends her lines with arimasu, which is translated as "don'tcha know" and "if you please", while Sylvia's casual manner of speech is translated with the liberal use of "yo" and calling everyone "dude/dudette". In the dub, Misora usually ends her lines with "I say" or "I must say" and Silvia occasionally begins sentences with "I the officer". | |

Disproportionate Retribution: The new prime minister was bullied by the heads of the defense forces back in grade school... so he undermines the Defense Corps with a male trio of elementary school children who manage to get to the scene of every alien sighting first. This is because the Prime Minister's lackeys are sabotaging the girls. ..and also because the aliens aren't real. | |

Magical Girl: The titular character and her friends are these, curtesy of some alien pendants.

Ms. Fanservice | |
| Mao-chan / int_b032e4ed | comment |
Ms. Fanservice: Sakura, who's practically a Recurring Fanservice Extra. Her normal uniform uses short shorts instead of the skirt that Kagome has, her outfit in the Christmas Episode is a midriff-baring Sexy Santa Top and Skirt Combo (which Kagome asks her about), and she later shows up in a Playboy Bunny outfit to host the Defense Corp Cherry Blossom party. | |

Interrupted Suicide | |
| Mao-chan / int_c0961831 | comment |
Interrupted Suicide: "Keinosuke", though after it fails, he admits that this is his fourteenth attempt. Mythology Gag: While he was never suicidal even at his lowest points, Keitaro, whom Keinosuke is a blatant expy of, was Nigh-Invulnerable, making Keinosuke's failure to die seem perfectly reasonable. | |

Writing Around Trademarks | |
| Mao-chan / int_d4c98786 | comment |
There's also a couple of appearances by a very obvious Keitarō expy. Like, so thinly disguised you'd think they were Writing Around Trademarks. Unlike the real Keitarō, "Keinosuke" failed the fourth attempt at getting into Tokyo U, though. On his second appearance, he's working alongside his girlfriend, "Nana Nanasegawa", an equally obvious Naru expy, and he points out the uncanny resemblance between Nanasegawa and Kagome. | |

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Chinami. Yuriko's not even villainous enough to be this. Most of the Cute Aliens in general are this. Often they don't even cause any real damage and sometimes the girls don't even have to try, because some of them outright fail on there own. | |

Expy | |
| Mao-chan / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy Kagome-sensei looks an awful lot like Naru, especially in Chapter 8, when she's not wearing her glasses and has her hair down... and is wearing the exact same outfit Naru was wearing in volume 7 of the manga. No, seriously, it's exactly the same. There's also a couple of appearances by a very obvious Keitarō expy. Like, so thinly disguised you'd think they were Writing Around Trademarks. Unlike the real Keitarō, "Keinosuke" failed the fourth attempt at getting into Tokyo U, though. On his second appearance, he's working alongside his girlfriend, "Nana Nanasegawa", an equally obvious Naru expy, and he points out the uncanny resemblance between Nanasegawa and Kagome. One last one: among the many ridiculously cute animal-shaped aliens is what appears to be an expy of Tama-chan. | |
