| Lou! (Comic Book) | comment |
Lou! is a comic book (and later animated series) created by French artist Julien Neel starring Lou, an initially tween girl who grows up throughout, and her single mom, an aspiring Space Opera writer (who gets published eventually). The comic started out as a gag series, but from the second volume onwards, it focuses on story and continuity, with more characters being introduced and existing ones getting more important roles.The animated series consists of 52 episodes of 11 minutes each, based on the first volume of the comic. For unknown reasons, the series did not continue past that.A live-action film, directed by Neel himself, was released in France on October 8, 2014. Said film is mostly based on the first comic volume while also adding characters who appeared on later volumes.The comic book reached the end of its "first season" with the eighth volume, published in 2018, with the "second season" beginning with the ninth volume, Sonata 1, in 2020. | |

| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_12040009 | comment |
No Accounting for Taste: Seems to be the case with Lou's grandparents, two fairly miserable people who hadn't known each other all that long before they decided to settle for one another. In the present, her grandfather has been dead for quite some time, and her grandmother doesn't appear to mourn him too much. | |

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_1434e55c | comment |
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Marie-Emilie very clearly sees her parents as this, especially her mother, to the point where she lashes out in a rather theatric fashion. She calms down significantly after book 4. In a similar but lesser vein, Lou mentions in book 3 that she has delimited a certain perimeter around her school that her mother is not to cross. This is brought up again in book 5 and Lou admits that in hindsight it was a silly thing to do. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: In book 3, Lou is already struggling with the general confusion of puberty, and between her lovestruck mom, the increasingly distant Mina, and the completely self-absorbed Marie-Emilie, she has no one but her therapist to confide in, compounded by the fact that she isn't entirely over Tristan's very abrupt departure back in book 1, and Paul, the one person she thinks she could talk to about these things, lives in place that doesn't have cell reception. At one point, without giving any warning, she seeks out refuge in the bus graveyard, which is essentially a municipal dumping ground for crashed buses, curls up between the metal carcasses and dozes off as the rain begins to pour. | |

The Runaway | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_15177ded | comment |
The Runaway: Lou's mom ran away from home at age 16 with a bunch of strangers, leaving nothing but a letter, and only recontacted her parents months later to tell them that she was pregnant and alone in the city. When Lou doesn't show up for dinner in book 3, her mother is afraid she ran away, and breaks down when Marie-Emilie, equally terrified and always as dramatic, exclaims that she may have killed herself. | |

| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The sixth volume takes the series in a sci-fi, solarpunk, post-apocalyptic Mind Screw direction. The seventh and eighth ones, however, are a return to its original direction. All this parenthesis served as symbolism for Lou's self-discovery: since the outside world had litterally shut down, she was able to focus on introspection. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Initially, Tristan has none, it's the whole joke : while Lou obsesses over him and their relationship, he's your typical 12-year-old boy, who likes his video games and his music and not much else. Later as they grow up, he becomes more cocky and even somewhat asshole-ish. This is revealed to be a façade to hide his fears of the future and insecurities, both about his looks and his personality. Unfortunately, this reveal does not endear him to Lou, as it explains his behavior, but certainly does not excuse it. | |

Tone Shift: The series starts as a down to earth, one-page-comic comedy, and slowly evolves into a more character-focused, introspective, even somewhat fantasy-ish coming-of-age story. Also society collapsed at one point. But it's better now, thanks for asking. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Subverted in the last episode of the animated series, which parallels the last pages of the first comic volume. Lou finally gets the courage to reveal her feelings to Tristan and makes a pact with her mother in which she will also promise to reveal her feelings to Richard, but neither of them are ultimately capable of that. Richard leaves for a camp without knowing Lou's mother's feelings, while Lou panics at a party she was attending with Tristan. Lou then decides to show her feelings by going to Tristan's apartment with a painting she made for him, but opens the door to find the apartment empty (Tristan had moved to another city, and due to Lou's panic at the party he didn't have the chance to tell her), then drops the painting and tears form in her eyes at this. However, Lou concludes that all of her experiences throughout the year ultimately made her appreciate the fact that other people, such as her mom, Mina and Richard, like her the way she is. The episode ends with an optimistic Lou saying ''Well, it's summer, life is beautiful, let's enjoy it!''. | |

Teen Pregnancy | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_4548bae | comment |
Teen Pregnancy: If you subtract Lou's age from her mother's, that makes her pregnant at around 17, as the fifth volume's flashbacks establish. This is actually addressed and seen in the first volume of the comic and in one episode of the TV series, where Lou tells to Mina how her parents met, how her father abandoned her mother and how they have lived happily despite that. | |

Important Haircut | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_4655ec83 | comment |
Important Haircut: Lou cuts her trademark long blond hair short in Sonata 1, to signify the extent to which the series and its tone are changing. Lou's mother is an offscreen example when she gets rid of her trademark bangs sometime during the events of book 8; this makes for such a dramatic change that Lou barely recognizes her when she finally comes home from her trip. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Lou's Grandma is a mean old harpy who never has a nice thing to say about anyone (except perhaps Clément Fifrelin), but she does love her daughter and granddaughter, and wants them to be safe and happy. She becomes markedly nicer in Sonata. Karine may look and sound gruff, but she is by far the most empathetic of the girls, actually displays kindness and respect to sweet Mrs Garsillac, and manages to bond with all sorts of people who feel at odds with their lives, like Lou or her eventual boyfriend Mr Juice. | |

By the latest volumes, he has had some kind of midlife crisis, quit his very comfortable and respectable job as a doctor and appears to be midway through getting all of his past plastic surgery reversed. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Lou's mom initially wanted to call her Sidéra, the name of the main character of her novel. Lou thinks the change was for the best, and that a book titled Lou! never would have sold well. In Sonata 2, Lou and Tristan give their friends a long exposé about the ins and outs of their relationship over the years. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Subverted in the last episode of the animated series, which parallels the last pages of the first comic volume. Lou finally gets the courage to reveal her feelings to Tristan and makes a pact with her mother in which she will also promise to reveal her feelings to Richard, but neither of them are ultimately capable of that. Richard leaves for a camp without knowing Lou's mother's feelings, while Lou panics at a party she was attending with Tristan. Lou then decides to show her feelings by going to Tristan's apartment with a painting she made for him, but opens the door to find the apartment empty (Tristan had moved to another city, and due to Lou's panic at the party he didn't have the chance to tell her), then drops the painting and tears form in her eyes at this. However, Lou concludes that all of her experiences throughout the year ultimately made her appreciate the fact that other people, such as her mom, Mina and Richard, like her the way she is. The episode ends with an optimistic Lou saying ''Well, it's summer, life is beautiful, let's enjoy it!''. The fifth volume of the comic ends with Lou's mother, who got pregnant again, this time from Richard, eventually getting abandoned by him just like it happened with Lou's father, as apparently Richard suffered a mental breakdown and ran away to hide in his natal town on a cave. Richard does not appear in the following volumes, where his and Lou's mother's child, named Fulgor, has grown to be around 5 years old by the eighth volume. | |

Book Ends: Book 1 opens with Lou spying on Tristan from the top of her apartment building as her mom pops around to see what she's doing. At the end of the book Lou is back up on the roof looking down at the now empty apartment where Tristan used to live as her mom comes around to see what she's doing. Book 5 begins with Lou and her mom watching their apartment building go up in flames, and ends with a flashback of the exact same shot some 10 years prior, on the day they first moved in. | |

Lotus-Eater Machine | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_5541da8c | comment |
Lotus-Eater Machine: A more subtle example than most. The first place Lou visits in her travel in book 8 is a houseshare filled with travelers and lost people hosted by the unbelievably chill Violette and Pyjama. Lou keeps losing track of time in this place, which seems to have everything she could ever want (friends, fun, video games and daily adventures). It even seems that she's not the only local to feel like she was stopped dead in her tracks on a larger quest. When she finally musters the strength to leave, she's spent over six weeks in a house where she was just supposed to stay for a couple of nights. | |

Missed Him by That Much: This happens a few times between Lou and her biological father, once on public transport, a second time when she serendipitously happens upon his wife and kids during her gap year, and once more when he comes to pick his (legitimate) daughter up at the station in Tygre, with Lou remaining none the wiser. Invoked and ultimately subverted in Sonata part 2, where after a very hectic day spent running around trying to find different people, it turns out that Lou's mother and grandmother have actually seen the man with their own two eyes, and conspire with Jeanne - in the loop and seemingly cool with it - to finally introduce Lou to her father. | |

Satellite Love Interest: Other than being Lou's lifelong crush and eventually her boyfriend, Tristan has not had much focus throughout the series, and all that is seen of him besides his relationship with Lou is that he plays guitar and is an avid gamer. In the sixth volume, Lou is still angry about his unspecified "thing with the redhead" (it is revealed in book 7 that he had a meltdown and started utterly deriding love as a concept, before passionately declaring his love to Lou... and then to anyone within reach, including the cat and Dazzler, who is somewhat red-headed). He is barely, if at all, mentioned in the eighth volume and Sonata 1. To boot, Lou still has conflicted feelings for Paul, and may or may not be exploring bisexuality with Marie. | |

Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places: Both the fathers of Lou's mother's children seemed like nice, reliable guys. But neither of them were prepared to accept the responsibility of fatherhood. Lou's father got some offscreen Character Development though, as he now has a wife and two children. He doesn't seem to be on the best terms with them lately, however, and he can be interpreted as riddled by guilt over his Parental Abandonment. | |

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: Invoked with posh doctor Clément and new age hippie Richard, respectively, for the affections of Lou's mom, but ultimately defied because Clément never had a chance to begin with. | |

Aerith and Bob | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_b9d334b2 | comment |
Aerith and Bob: In a setting where people have fairly ordinary names such as Karine or Richard, the twins Isohélie and Isocelle (terms used in graphic editing software and geometry, respectively) kind of stick out like a pair of sore thumbs. Fulgor's name is also an unusual one, but makes sense in-universe given that he is named for the male hero in his mother's sci-fi novel. | |

Who Names Their Kid "Dude"? | |

Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Lou's mother's... uh, creativity extends to her ideas for prospective baby names, and she goes from "Ninja Laser" to "Mongo Elvis" before finally settling on "Fulgor", which is tamer, but no less outlandish. Lou points out to her mother that she did okay with her name, to which her mother tells her that she was originally going to be named "Sidera" before she decided to use the name for the heroine of her novel. Lou is understandably relieved. | |

Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: Appears to be the case with Lou/Tristan and Mina/Jean-Jean at first, but it turns out to be the complete opposite, with Mina and Jean-Jean constantly picking fights with each other to the point where they keep breaking up and making up, whereas Lou and Tristan, admittedly rather indecisive on the "couple" part, actually do genuinely get along the majority of the time. | |

Connected All Along: Lou's friend Paul and Marie-Emilie's girlfriend Dazzler are very offhandedly revealed to be cousins, whose grandfather very unexpectedly turns out to be Arcimboldo Parmentier, the referenced architect from book 4. In book 6, a big restaurant chain pops up in the wake of the "crystallopocalypse" that goes by the very simple name of Logan. In the next book, Lou finds an old picture of her mom and a strange boy who appears to be wearing Paul's bead necklace. His name? Logan. | |

Struggling Single Mother: Lou and her mom actually aren't struggling too hard - her mom is a certified translator in Syldavian, which makes her rather unique on the job market, and her publisher trusts her enough to pay her prior to getting the actual manuscript. The real struggle was a few years back, when Lou's mom had to get an education and work part-time jobs while raising a baby on her own. When her novel takes off in Book 5, they even become rather comfortable. | |

| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_d8e0e9f7 | comment |
Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Can be debated. Lou is the result of a Teen Pregnancy, and her father was likely not much older. While he was genuinely in love with her mother, even hoping for a future with her, he was simply not ready for fatherhood and knew it. Lou's mom insisted to keep the baby, and while it broke both of their hearts, they broke up. It's implied that he let her stay in the studio apartment that was originally his. | |

A Hero to His Hometown | |
| Lou! (Comic Book) / int_ebdb0292 | comment |
A Hero to His Hometown: Lou's mom fully expects to have become the laughing stock of Mortebouse following her badly organised and underwhelming book signing tour, with her disapproving mother in the front row; much to her surprise, the whole town has gathered to welcome and celebrate her... with her uncharacteristically thrilled mother in the front row. Clément Fifrelin's claim to fame is winning a regional golf tournament, immortalized by a newspaper cutting referring to him as "a native son" of Mortebouse. Lou's grandma is definitely impressed. Lou and her mom still think he's lame. Funnily enough, Arcimboldo Parmentier is a subversion, since no-one in Mortebouse seems remotely impressed, let alone aware, of his architectural career, jet setting or even of the controversy associated with his name. Not even Parmentier's grandson is aware of his exploits, and is even a little embarrassed that they named the village library after his grandfather. | |

It Was a Gift: Of the memory-triggering kind, the vintage boots Lou borrows from her mother in book 3. When she rides the subway with them, the man in front of her recognizes them as the boots he once stole, having no money, because his girlfriend wanted them so bad... just before she told him they were about to become parents. Lou gets off the train before her father has any chance to interact with her. In book 5, all of Lou's possessions burn in the fire that ravages her apartment building, except for the green bead necklace Paul gifted her, which she was wearing. The realization makes her very emotional. | |

Will They or Won't They?: Lou and Tristan. It's been 6 years in universe, more than that if you count the years they spent spying on each other as kids, and they're still basically at the same point. Mostly, this is because of Tristan's insecurities and Lou's complicated feelings regarding Paul. Subverted with Mina and Jean-Jean. They have been exclusive for four years, and it's clear they already "do". The "off" part in their "on-and-off" relationship is more of a game to them. As Mina said, 36 breakups means as many first kisses. | |

Doting Parent: Lou's grandma, overly critical of her daughter especially on a good day, does a full 180 the day the first volume of Sidera hits the shelves. She charges down to the nearest bookstore and proceeds to purchase fourteen copies of the novel, loudly boasting that “My daughter wrote this!� before she heads to the village market for some pro bono advertising. When Lou's mom returns to her hometown for a book fair (as part of a book signing tour that has so far been an utter fiasco), the whole town throws a parade in her honor with her mother in the front lines, royally chuffed and keenly reminding everyone that "That's my daughter!" In book 5, upon learning that her daughter was pregnant again as she gave birth, she not only raced to the maternity ward, but also shout-comforted her daughter as she was having a nervous breakdown about winding up a single mother for the second time. | |
