Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This work has nothing to do with Kino's Journey.Gakuen Kino is the story of Kino, an energetic high school student with a big appetite, whose life is changed forever (maybe) after meeting a talking cell phone strap. The cell phone strap, Hermes, tells Kino that the Earth is under attack from enemies that take over humans, turning them into monsters—and it's up to Kino to defend the Earth from this demonic peril.Kino is joined by a mysterious masked pervert who calls himself the Samoyed Mask, who has absolutely nothing to do with Kino's handsome and chivalrous upperclassman, Shizu. A third character, the vengeance-obsessed Detective Wanwannote "wan wan" being Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of a barking dog, rounds out the trio—and he's most definitely not Kino's Stalker with a Crush classmate Rikutarou Wanwan Inuyama.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Much parodying of the Magical Girl genre ensues, as well as an unhealthy dose of Gun Porn and fourth-wall breaking.Originally written as a joke by Kino's Journey author Keiichi Sigawa, Gakuen Kino somehow managed to become a proper Light Novel series. Six books have currently been published.The series incarnation of Kino made an appearance in Memoria Freese as a unit that can be summoned during a rerun of the Travelers and the Labyrinth Country crossover campaign.

Ignored Confession: Samoyed Mask flat out admits to Kino that he is Shizu. Kino responds with gun fire and declares his joke 'NOT FUNNY!' And a pair of Uzis, a P90, an assault rifle, and much much more.

Transformation Sequence: Parodied for all it's worth. The narration lampshades Kino's disappearing clothes and the ensuing lightshow. Meanwhile, Shizu parodies the trope by having to manually take off all of his clothing and put on his Samoyed Mask outfit piece by piece.

comment
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Shizu never goes anywhere without his katana, but no one, not even police officers who stop him for a spot check, ever comments on it. Same can be said for Kino, who's model gun is of little interest to anyone. That pouch she always keeps on her belt though.)

Covert Pervert: Samoyed Mask intentionally allowed part of the school to be destroyed so that when the time came to rebuild he modified the plans a little bit so that hidden compartments complete with peeping holes could be used to spy in the gymnasium. Toyed with Detective Wanwan who would run to the peep holes every time Samoyed Mask commented upon seeing Kino do something. Averted with Hermes at the pool, who jumped someplace dark when Kino changed into her swimsuit. Kino completely misunderstood until he said he jumped up to where she parts her hair.

Interactive Narrator: Riku and Shizu become annoyed with the fact that Sigsawa can't keep up with their fight. They quickly turn on him. What follows is a battle of epic proportions! Or it would be if the pen was mightier than the sword. Don't worry, one of Sigsawa's colleagues writes the rest of the chapter.
