comment |
Love is in the Bag is a Slice of Life comedy Manga about a girl named Kate Menella, who has a crush on local hottie Calvin Jacobs. It would be somewhat typical if it weren't for the fact that she turns into a bag everytime she gets excited. With the help of her best friend, Kara Francesco, Kate gets over her shyness and is able to get together with Calvin. Except for all the things standing in her way, such as basketball tournaments and a girl claiming to be Calvin's previous girlfriend.Lots and lots of awkward situations ensue due to the antics of Kara and her friends, Chloe and Lorelei, in trying to get Kate and Calvin together.Written by Ace Vitangcol with art by Jed Siroy and Andrew Agoncillo, and with writers Ryan Cordova and Glenn Que, produced by Studio Studio and Alturia Hill Publishing, it is a Filipino comic drawn in a manga style that is safe for young readers.Love is in the Bag was concluded after five volumes, but Word of God has delivered spin-offs, including a Clueless Mystery light novel The Great Donut Caper!, and the Slice of Life graphic novel Bag Together which is set 3 years after the events of the final volume. A standalone book, The Lorelei Wang Case Files: The Mystery of Valehollow is a Chosen Path story with Multiple Endings.The manga has also expanded to interactive books that feature characters doing fun activities (i.e., Mara going to the beach, Calvin and Kara playing sports, Chloe throwing a party, etc.)The comic's Facebook page can be found here.Alturia Hill Publishing and Studio Studio's website can be found here.Another series by the same authors is Angel Crush, which is set in the same universe.The third series by the same authors is My Celestial Family, which does not share the same universe as the previous two. |

Wham Shot: At the end of Volume 4, when Calvin sees that Kate has turned into a bag. Given the Foreshadowing that has been happening since the end of the third book, the implication is that Kate may never come back. |

comment |
Played with and averted in The Lorelei Wang Case Files: The Mystery of Valehollow as listening to Chloe often leads Lorelei closer to solving the case. However, this isn't always true, as listening to Chloe in one instance actually leads to a the worst ending in the book. It's so bad that Lorelei can't help but scream, but eventually is unable to. |

Even the Guys Want Him: Mark Spencer has many admirers...including a very sizable male fan group named the S.M.A.C.K. (The Special Mark Appreciation Club of Kripbam) Given how Kara treats him most of the time, and that he goes to an all-boys school, he often feels that he Only Has Same-Sex Admirers. Louis V. suffers the same curse after the Time Skip in Volume 5 as he is pursued by the L.A.M.E. (The Louis-Appreciating Mark Enthusiasts.) |

Character Tics |
| | Love Is in the Bag (Manga) / int_9ae8eea9 |
comment |
Character Tics: plenty of characters have signature gestures or tics. Kate blushes whenever she discusses Calvin. Kara blushes, sweats, and turns her head sideways when she speaks with or about Mark Spencer. Mark mutters "tsk" whenever he encounters tough defense in basketball. Calvin smiles and tilts his head whenever he's lying about his health. Calvin laughs and scratches the back of his head whenever he has to explain himself. Louis' nose bleeds when he discusses the pink-haired girl in volume 1. Lorelei's snaggletooth is visible whenever she cheerfully explains her plans. Genevieve is often shown crossing her arms just above her waist. |

City with No Name |
| | Love Is in the Bag (Manga) / int_a698ad42 |
comment |
City with No Name: While the various schools are often mentioned, the main setting for the series goes unnamed. Many locales do bear superficial resemblance to some real-life places, such as a few buildings on Saint Xander campus looking similar to buildings in Ateneo de Manila University. Later on in the story, State University has similar landmarks to the University of the Philippines. As the setting is a mishmash of various real-life locations mixed with plenty of fictional places, it almost, but does not, qualify as No Communities Were Harmed. |

Shout-Out: Channel |B| or CH|B|, as a shout out to 4chan. A poster in Calvin's room says Suramu Danku! The box that Kara carries says Pani Poni. Ruthlessly done in Volume 3, where Chloe does a chain of shout outs to Batman while trying to squeeze Louis's secret out of him. Even lampshaded by Fourth Wall Guy. The Cooking Duel in Volume 3 is a ruthless parody of Iron Chef. |

Cerebus Syndrome/Drama Bomb: The last few chapters of Volume 3 start this, with the revelation of the nature of Kate's "condition". Played with, since there are still a couple of hilarious moments in the fourth volume. |

Schmuck Bait: Plenty of interactions with Chloe (often with Lorelei) turn out to be this. Sometimes Lorelei even sees it coming, but responds anyway. Played with and averted in The Lorelei Wang Case Files: The Mystery of Valehollow as listening to Chloe often leads Lorelei closer to solving the case. However, this isn't always true, as listening to Chloe in one instance actually leads to a the worst ending in the book. It's so bad that Lorelei can't help but scream, but eventually is unable to. |

comment |
Breakout Character: Mark Spencer was initially intended to be a one-dimensional rival to Calvin, who only appeared during basketball games. However, as the writers continued working on Volume 1, they decided to give him a slightly bigger role. He would not disappoint, as Mark Spencer is one of the most—if not the most—popular character in the series. His role in the series continued to grow from Volume 2 onwards. Similarly, Chloe Karan was originally intended as background filler for Kara's Gang. Thanks to her zany antics, her popularity soared and she is now the face of Studio Studio. |

Literal-Minded: Calvin Jacobs sometimes doesn't quite grasp figurative speech. In Volume 5, he thinks that "hanky panky" refers to handkerchiefs. Turned upside down in Volume 4, when he remarks that he is saddened by Mark "coming out of the closet" (which other characters misconstrue as something gender-preference-related). In this instance, Mark literally does burst out of a closet. |

Empathic Environment: Some of the most dramatic moments of the series uses this trope. When Mark is waiting for Kara in the park, but she fails to show up even after several hours, the skies turn dark and it begins to rain. After Calvin seemingly crosses the Despair Event Horizon and begins to think that Kate won't ever return, he goes up to the school's roof deck to reflect. The skies are dark and cloudy, until Kate's miraculous return, when the sunlight finally shines through, and the storm dissipates. |
