Itsudatte My Santa! (いつだってMyサンタ!?, translating literally to Always My Santa!) is a short manga series by Ken Akamatsu, published before his better known work, Love Hina, was serialized. It stars a boy named Santa who hates Christmas, due to being born on Christmas Eve. However, a girl named Mai who's a student at the Santa Claus Academy is sent to him, being tasked with the mission of improving his luck and changing his views on Christmas for the better.The manga ran in 1997 for only two issues of Shōnen Magazine. It later received a two-episode OVA adaptation in 2005. |

Adaptation Expansion: The manga only tells the story told in episode one, and only has two characters, Mai and Santa. The anime adds a second episode and introduces the characters of Sharry, MaiMai, and Miss Noel. |

The Faceless: Mineko, the girl Santa has a crush on, is always shown from behind when Santa goes to her party, although this doesn't seem to be entirely intentional. There is one shot of her face, although it's from very far away and hard to make anything out. |

Perennially Overshadowed Birthday: The protagonist hates his birthday because it's also Christmas and it contributes to his overall sense of feeling neglected and unloved. To make matters worse, his parents chose to name him Santa. However, he soon discovers that the kids at his high school do remember his birthday and when he shows up to a party they try to invite him in because they're celebrating him as well as Christmas, a revelation that starts to change his viewpoint. |

Innocent Innuendo: When Mai asks Santa to spend the night with her in the first OVA, to the shock and mutters of people around them ("Kids these days...") Mai realizes the implications and hits Santa, telling him she's not that kind of girl (even though it wasn't really his fault). Happens again in the second OVA, with an unfortunate misunderstanding about "oil". |
