Beach Stars (Manga) | comment |
Beach Stars is a sports manga written and drawn by Morio Masahiro, focusing around a high school girl named Nanase Iruka. She is hopeful for the new school year, with the knowledge that she will be able to play volleyball with all of her friends. Unfortunately, due to lack of membership, the volleyball club is closing down, and all of her other friends go off to do other things. However, when things look bleakest, she is taken down to the beach by her friends, where she meets the up-and-coming beach volleyball star Hayakawa Sanae, and her life changes forever...The manga began serialization in Weekly Young Sunday in 2007, briefly going on hiatus in July 2008 due to the magazine ceasing publication. It later moved to YS Special, where it ran from 2008 to 2009. A sequel manga, The!! Beach Stars, ran in Monthly Shonen Sunday magazine from June 2009 to December of 2010. | |

Beach Stars (Manga) / int_1206dd74 | comment |
Victory Is Boring: Sanae feels this way, since she hasn't found an opponent that can make her play with her full strength, regardless of the result. She finally finds it in Iruka. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: After winning the quarter-finals, Iruka decides to get some food... specifically, a giant hot dog. However, it manages to avoid the normal connotations, since she immediately bumps into Hiro. Who is also eating an enormous hot dog. | |

Comic-Book Time | |
Beach Stars (Manga) / int_1989b0c | comment |
Comic-Book Time: The first third of the original manga takes place over several months. The second third takes up about half a day. The final third is consumed entirely by the final match. To be fair, the final match is three sets rather than just one, so the final match is about as long as the rest of the tournament combined, in terms of play time. | |

Beach Stars (Manga) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Several characters. Kyosuke Honda, known to the girls as Ponda-san, who founded Yamagami High's Death Metal Club, still has enough of a reputation to scare the crap out of most of the delinquents just by mentioning his name. Ono Reika, who is secretly Hayakawa Sanae's partner and one of the most talented volleyball players in the country, if not the world. | |

Embarrassing Nickname | |
Beach Stars (Manga) / int_317629db | comment |
Embarrassing Nickname: The girls on the beach volleyball team refer to Honda as "Ponda-san" (usually translated as "Humvee" or something to that effect, as it's a pun on the fact that he has the same name as a car company). He really doesn't like it. So, of course, the girls refuse to call him anything else. After they lose the volleyball match with Iruka, Reika and Akira, the three thugs are referred to as Nobu-pyon, Ta-kun, and Suguru-chi, as per Iruka's wishes. As part of the same agreement, they must now refer to Iruka as the Emperor/Your Highness/the Queen. | |

Bifauxnen: Kurachi can easily be mistaken for a guy. She's tall, muscular, has a sharp jawline, and the first time you see her you can't really tell if she has breasts or not. The eyes don't help much either. Of course she gets into a bathing suit, and it becomes a bit more obvious that she's female. She also looks way more feminine in the flashbacks. | |

The Ace | |
Beach Stars (Manga) / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Hayakawa Sanae is probably the epitome of this trope. Ishihara Kotomi, former Ace of Onsoku Middle School... until her Game-Breaking Injury. Iruka herself is one by the end of the manga. Whatever she doesn't have in height, she more than makes up with impressive jumps, thoughtful calculation and a lot of spirit. | |

Revenge by Proxy | |
Beach Stars (Manga) / int_b77eb3b2 | comment |
Revenge by Proxy: Kurachi's plan to defeat Kotomi is to purposefully target Iruka, because she knows Kotomi won't have the courage to stand up and protect her. It works at first, but Kotomi finally breaks through her trauma and starts fighting back. | |

Beach Stars (Manga) / int_b7c53a22 | comment |
Blood Knight: Aside from the fact that she fights through volleyball and not direct violence Hayakawa Sanae fits into this trope rather well - she doesn't care for fame, nor for any particular achievement and even victory isn't all that important to her, what she craves for is a strong opponent that can challenge her on equal terms and the only time we see her genuinely smile is after she was beaten by Iruka. | |

Demoted to Extra: Rin is the odd man out in the five-person beach volleyball team, and so barely gets any screen time through the entire preliminaries... which is about two-thirds of the manga. But she come back in full force at the end of the first series, threatening to leave the team for good. | |

Ecchi: Given that beach volleyball requires swimsuits as the default outfit, oddly justified. Of course, there's plenty of fanservice showing off shapely female bodies... and then there's Taki who may or may not provide enough Fan Disservice to sour some. She decides to slim down in the epilogue though, and it's quite possible she graduated into being a Ms. Fanservice too. | |
