Definitions
ahoge (アホ毛) — A single strand of hair that sticks out of a character's head. It literally means "stupid hair" and usually indicates that the character is stupid or ignorant about certain topics. However, there are exceptions to this, so it is not an absolute rule. This differs from antenna hair, in which there are two or more locks of hair sticking up as opposed to one. Wikipediabura (ブラ) — Japanese for bra.
buruma (ブルマ) — After the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, a new style of bloomers which fit the body closer, similar to volleyball uniforms, became commonplace. Around the mid-1990s, however, sports shorts were chosen instead, citing modesty concerns. Some people are interested in bloomers in clothing fetish and animanga contexts. Wikipedia
ecchi (エッチ) — Softcore or playful sexuality in contradistinction to the word 'hentai' which connotes hardcore, perversion or fetishism. Works described as ecchi do not show sexual intercourse or genitalia. Instead, sexual themes are hinted at, and much is left up to the imagination of the viewer. Wikipedia
gender bender — A person which takes their gender roles are reversed, or manipulated in various ways. Also, someone who explores the boundaries of gender roles, or outright denies their existence.
seifuku (制服) — A generic term for schoolgirl uniform.
serafuku (セーラー服) — Known also as sailor outfit or sailor fuku, is common style of uniform worn by female middle school students, traditionally by high school students, and occasionally, elementary school students.
transform — A person transformed from male to female or vice versa through magic, science or supernatural powers.
mangaka (漫画家) — though the Japanese word for a comic artist or cartoonist, I have redefined the word to show one who is both the artist AND the writer of a manga for this blog.
one-shot (1shot) — One-shot manga tells its entire story in 15-60 pages, usually written for contests, and sometimes later developed into a full-length manga series (much like a television pilot). Many popular manga series began as one-shot stories.
serafuku (セーラー服) — Known also as sailor outfit or sailor fuku, is common style of uniform worn by female middle school students, traditionally by high school students, and occasionally, elementary school students.
transform — A person transformed from male to female or vice versa through magic, science or supernatural powers.
