A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow (Nettaigyo wa Yuki ni Kogareru) is a manga by Makoto Hagino. It ran in the seinen magazine Dengeki Maoh from 2017 to 2021, and is licensed in English by Viz Media.After Konatsu Amano's father transfers overseas for his job, she moves to a town by the sea in Ebisu Prefecture. While there, she meets an older girl named Koyuki Honami, who's well-respected as an honor student but like Konatsu, has no real friends. Koyuki also runs the Aquarium Club, which Konatsu ends up joining to satisfy the school's requirement for students to join clubs, and this is the story of the deepening bond between the two. |

comment |
Japanese School Club: A significant portion of the story is about the Aquarium Club. Konatsu joins partly because of her blossoming friendship with Koyuki, and partly because the school, being small, requires students to join clubs. |

comment |
Parents as People: Konatsu's father loves her, but his job doesn't make it easy to be there for her. He even considers quitting his job so that they can live together once again, a move that, while well-intentioned, would end up separating Konatsu from Koyuki. |

comment |
Club Stub: The Aquarium club only has one member- Koyuki- at the start of the series. Since Koyuki will end up quitting the club to focus on entrance exams, the club's future is very much in doubt. That changes in Chapter 28, when first-years join. |

Defrosting Ice Queen: Koyuki, the "snow" hinted at in the title. While she isn't especially cold, per se, she's detached from others due to being a model student, and Konatsu helps her defrost. |

First-Name Basis: While Konatsu usually calls Koyuki "Honami-senpai," she blushes as she calls her "Koyuki-san" when asking for her at the Honami residence. She eventually starts calling her "Koyuki" on Koyuki's request, since Koyuki will no longer be Konatsu's sempai after graduating. |

comment |
Lonely Together: The basis for Koyuki and Konatsu's friendship. Konatsu is a a New Transfer Student, while Koyuki is a model student who is viewed as unapproachable. Unfortunately, as Koyuki changes and opens up to others, Konatsu becomes afraid of being left behind, putting a strain on their friendship. |

Club President: Koyuki. In Chapter 28, after the club gets new members, some start calling her "President Honami," (unlike Konatsu, who generally just calls her "Honami-senpai.") |

Transfer Student Uniforms: Konatsu wears a blouse, a neck ribbon and a skirt instead of her new school's uniform, which is a jumper, a blouse and a necktie. She continues wearing this uniform even after spending months at her new school, and knowing that she will probably be there permanently, but eventually switches to the school uniform. |

Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: Koyuki and Konatsu have a fairly close and seemingly romantic friendship, with no prospective male love interests in sight. The ending leaves their relationship apparently platonic, but the two are closer than most friends are. |

Odd Name Out: While most chapter titles contain negative verbs, Chapter 21 is titled "Konatsu Amano Was Feeling Sad." The final chapter takes this a step further, discarding the Idiosyncratic Episode Naming altogether and simply sharing the name of the series. |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming |
| | A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow (Manga) / int_ac4ac8e5 |
comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Chapter titles have the following three words or phrases: the character's full name, a negative verb (e.g. "Won't," "Can't," "Doesn't"), and a description of a certain action. For example, the first chapter is titled, "Komatsu Amano Isn't Sad," while the second is "Koyuki Honami Isn't Happy." Also, they're called "tanks" (as in fish tanks) instead of "chapters." |
