My Girlfriend is the President

File:President-edited1 2396.jpg

My Girlfriend is the President (Japanese title: Osananajimi wa Daitouryou, more accurately "My Childhood Friend is the President") is an Eroge by the company Alcot.

What happens when a loli-alien-maid crashes her ship into the earth, eliminating Japan's government? Hilarity Ensues, of course. The entire world is brainwashed into believing the first girl on the scene is the Japanese president, with only two people in the world who remember how it used to be.

Junichiro Hondo, teenage pervert, is the new vice president and one of those who remember the old ways. His childhood friend Yukino Ohama, who isn't named after the American President Obama AT ALL, is the new President of the United States of Nippon and quickly develops a fanbase. The rest of the cast includes a female not-Rahm Emanuel, a gender-flipped version of Vladimir Putin, a personified spaceship and the aforementioned loli-alien-maid.

It's Better Than It Sounds.

A trailer can be found here. JAST USA (link Not Safe for Work) localized the game, using most if not all of TLWiki's unfinished Fan Translation.

Also, a fandisk was released on August 13, 2010, featuring epilogues of Irina's and Ell's routes.

Tropes used in My Girlfriend is the President include:

• AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle - Souma.
• A-Cup Angst - Kuon can be considered a severe case.
• All There in the Manual - Qoo invokes this almost immediately. In fact, its her demanding Jun to read it that triggers the first choice of the game.
• American Political System - Thanks to an unfortunate UFO crash, this gets transplanted to Japan. The game even has a few segments to explain the real world American Political System, and their use of it is surprisingly accurate for a game running heavily on the Rule of Funny, but not always.
• And This Is For - Jun, while delivering one hell of a whoopass to Souma. Ell also does this to Remi when the latter interrupts a TV show the former was watching.
• Audio Erotica - Jun's knees begin to tremble when he hears Saionji's voice.
• Ax Crazy - Kuon, who frequently gets scolded by Putina for her violent acts in public.
• Badass Adorable - Putina takes detours from routine strolls to beat up terrorists with her judo and uses her days off to be a Big Damn Hero.
  • Ell is made for this trope.
• Berserk Button - Putina doesn't appreciate being called "Puchin".
  • At the end of Putina's route, she manages to get used to that nickname.
  • Do not utter the word "flat" when Kuon or Remi are nearby.
• Betty and Veronica - Yukino and Putina.
• Blatant Lies - Ran: "Onee-san didn't raise you to be that way!" You raised Jun to be this way and you know it!
• Brainwashed and Crazy - Putina in the climax of her route, complete with Mind Control Eyes.
• Buxom Is Better - A lot of Junichiro's attention is devoted to Putina and Ran's breasts. And on the opposite side of things he denies being a lolicon. He will point out though that he appreciated the existence of breasts themselves rather than any one size.
• Cain and Abel - Remi is very jealous of Ell because Remi accidentally disappeared during a test flight and was found by Souma while Ell was raised properly by Qoo (as properly as Qoo is capable of, anyway). This tends to result in spaceships capable of destroying the planet canceling each others powers out and pulling each others cheeks.
• Captain Obvious/Captain Obvious Aesop - Launching nukes at us is bad! We don't like that!
• Childhood Friend Romance - Ran and Yukino, though it's only Yukino who really plays it up. She comes to Junichiro's house to wake him up in the morning, voluntarily does his household chores, cooks for him (albeit badly), and is otherwise totally devoted to him. Even though she's the president of Japan. Though on Junichiro's side of things, at the beginning of the game it's revealed that he actually confessed to Ran once and got turned down.
• Charm Person - The brainwashing effect of Qoo's device makes Yukino much more persuasive than she would be otherwise. When she sings, it gets upgraded to full-on Compelling Voice.
• Chekhov's Gunman - Anybody given a sprite will be important for one reason or another throughout the story.
• Clingy Jealous Girl - The only thing that can make Yukino really angry is somebody taking Junichiro away from her. At one point she bans exports of Junichiro to prevent Putina from taking him to Russia. To her credit she doesn't interrupt any truly intimate moments between Junichiro and Putina even when she's right there, and still maintains a friendship with her love rival.
  • On the other hand, she does everything in her power to try to keep Ran off of him starting from the very first scene of Ran's route.

Jun: (Thinking) If this was a video site with scrolling comments, the video would be covered with a barrage of "FFFFFFFF."

• Comically Missing the Point - When speaking with Miyoshi Ran's father, he mentions that their hypothetical children could become the pawn of warring factions. Their immediate reaction is to be thrilled to hear they can have children at all.
• Cool Big Sis - Ran.
• Crash Into Hello - Well, sort of. Junichiro crash lands on a member of a terrorist group Putina was beating up after involuntarily testing a jet pack for Qoo, meeting Putina for the first time.
• Curtains Match the Window: Ran.
• Digital Piracy Is Evil: The very first choice you can make is a hilariously self aware Affectionate Parody of this trope.
• Dead Person Impersonation - The Ran that Jun knew as a child died shortly after moving away, and the Ran that came back nine years before the story began was an alien that revived her body and merged with it, and then fell in love with him just like the real Ran did. Its gotten to the point that they've essentially fused with Ran unable to tell who's memories are who's anymore.
• Death Is Dramatic - Invoked - even when people aren't actually dying, the cast pretends they got killed anyway so that they may draw inspiration from their comrades' Heroic Sacrifice.
• Defeat by Modesty - Terminachan in the third conflict during Ran's route... Well, that's the nice way of putting it anyway.
• Defector From Decadence - Saionji.
• Deus Exit Machina - Ell, the most powerful character, is always canceled out by Remi and thus unable to aid anyone.
• Embarrassing Nickname - "Don't call me Puchin!"
• Evil Is Petty - Souma.
• Expy - Kuon bears an uncanny resemblance to Mio in a maid uniform, which might be hinted at based on the fact that in Japanese "ku" is sometimes pronounced as the consonant "k".
  • Irina Vladimirovna Putina is a famous, beautiful, strong-willed Tsundere who can generate electricity and kick ass on her own, i.e. an older version of Misaka Mikoto.
• Extreme Doormat - Played for Laughs. Yukino is not above pretending to be Junichiro's dog, even if they're at school before classes start.
• Fan Translation - Though it was sold to JAST, this is a fan translated game. The announcement that the translation was handed over occurred just about exactly when the translation finished. Thus, the leaked patch that is floating around has one or two points where the translation temporarily fails.
• The Faceless - Yukino Fan A, whose face is always concealed by a mask labelled "A".
• Feminine Women Can Cook - Yukino's pretty set on cooking for Junichiro so she can compete with Ran and Putina, even if she does ruefully acknowledge her status as a Lethal Chef.
• Freudian Slip - "YESSU WE CUM!"
• G-Rated Sex - The entire hug scene with Putina and Ell.
• Gamer Chick - Qoo Little-Little.
• Gag Boobs - Putina and Ran.
• Gender Flip - Most of the cast.
• Genre Savvy - A good chunk of the cast actively watches anime, plays video games and eroge, and/or reads manga and doujinshi, so it's kind of to be expected.
• Giving Someone the Pointer Finger - Putina...all the time.
• Gratuitous English - "YESSU WE CAN" and "YOU WA SHOCK" amongst others.
  • The leader of the Hot Springs Task Force begins every line with a sentence or phrase of Gratuitous English (e.g. YES, YOUR HIGHNESS!!!). The spaceships are also fond of this.
  • Souma likes to yell "JEEEEEESUUUUS" for no particular reason.
• Gratuitous Russian - Putina, some of the time in dialogue.
• Hair Decorations - All the four heroines and Qoo.
• Harem Hero: Jun is both types. Normally he's just a regular human with a good memory and resistance to sickness, but once he kisses a girl to remove his limiter and his enhancement send him into overdrive complete with an aura.
• Heel Face Turn - Saionji, Ran and Kuon, though you don't always learn that Ran is on the other side anyway.
• Heroic BSOD - Yukino undergoes a brief one when she finds out about the mass brainwashing.
• Human Alien - It's noted briefly that not all aliens look like humans. Rather, Qoo was specifically chosen because she looks human.
• Idiot Hair - As seen on the page image above, Yukino has a rather large one. It pulls double duty as Expressive Hair as well.
• Immortal Immaturity - All over the place. Ell, Remi, Souma and possibly Ran and Kuon when fridge logic sets in about the length of the assignments undertaken. The closest thing to an aversion is probably Qoo, who talks like a dirty old woman and acts like a lazy bum. You could argue that she really is acting her age and is simply a hedonist.
• Improbable Age - Justified for Yukino, but not for Irina. Irina herself even lampshades this at one point.
• I'm Taking Her Home With Me!- Putina's reaction to Ell.
• The Ingenue - Ell. This is justified by her being an AI and hence she has virtually no knowledge about human nature.
• It's All My Fault - Ell tends to blame herself a lot.
• Jerkass - Souma, Remi.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold - Qoo is short-tempered, abrasive, and likes to jerk people around, but she's surprisingly considerate of others, even though she'd never admit to it herself.
• The Jimmy Hart Version - Of The X-Files' theme, Ride of the Valkyries, the Imperial March, Shining Finger's theme.
• Lampshade Hanging - Damn near everything gets lampshaded.
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall - With all the lampshade hanging it should be expected.

Jun: Just so you know, I'm not trying to trigger your flag or anything. Qoo: Kukuku. You make me want to trigger it myself by saying that. Jun: Give it up. I'm going through Ran-neechan's route right now. There's no room for you to butt in.

• Leitmotif - All the main heroines have one, though Ran and Ell's are probably the most noticeable. Here is Yukino's and Irina's for comparison sake.
• Lethal Chef - Yukino's food has to be censored by mosaic and is accompanied by X Files music.
• Locked Out of the Loop - Yukino.
• Lolicon - Junichiro denies being one. Though obviously Ell has a route.
• Lonely Rich Kid - While being a world leader isn't exactly equivalent to being wealthy, being the president of Russia at such a young age hasn't given Putina a chance to make many friends or have much fun.
• Loveable Sex Maniac - Junichiro is first introduced fondling an assistant. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
• Love Triangle - Though there are four heroines, the story largely focuses on the Putina/Yukino/Junichiro triangle and both girls recognize the other as their rival. Before the story started, there was also Yukino -> Junichiro -> Ran, but it goes largely unmentioned.
• The Messiah - Yukino. She even gets a Crucified Hero Shot at one point to drive it home.
• Moe - In-Universe: Yukino has an 80% approval rating because she's so moe. The other girls are too, but Yukino actually harnesses her moe-ness to help her lead Japan.
• Naked Apron: Ran, much to Jun's utter delight. Then they realize Ell is in the room watching.
• Ninja Maid - Kuon doesn't utilize martial arts, but she is more often shown performing acts of violence than she is shown doing anything, y'know, maids usually do.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed - As applied to countries. Rusia, Ameriga, Nippon and Chaiwan. There's also the obvious genderflipped tsundere Vladimir Putin stuff.
• Not Brainwashed - A more lighthearted example since this story doesn't do dark. Turns out that Ran and Kuon faked being brainwashed so as to continue spying.
• Oblivious to Love - Averted. Junichiro acknowledges pretty early on that he knows how Yukino feels but simply doesn't feel like a relationship upgrade. On the other hand, the girls seem to think he doesn't know.
• Obviously Evil - Odds are pretty strongly against a guy named Josef Souma Mengele being a good guy. Junichiro and his classmates even agree that he looks like a demon king.
• Occidental Otaku - Russia's "western-ness" might be debatable, but Putina clearly has shades of this.
• Only Sane Man - Junichiro is literally the only sane man in that he's the only man on Earth to remember what things were like before the aliens brainwashed everybody. Putina on the other hand is the only sane woman by this standard.
• Otaku Surrogate - Even though Junichiro and especially Morita usually would be enough otaku for one game, Yukino watches anime, and reads manga and doujinshi (including the Hentai sort, amusingly). She ends up as one of these in-universe too when she becomes a hero to otakus for opposing a bill to ban doujinshi.
• Our Presidents Are Different - In this case Our Presidents Are Moe Moe Highschool Girls. Putina's a President Action while Yukino's a President Personable.
• Overprotective Dad - Saionji.
• Paper Fan of Doom - Putina likes to use this.
• Paper-Thin Disguise - Terminachan, Feather Moon, Morider.
• Perky Female Minion - Remi.
• Plot Armor - In Putina's route, Junichiro briefly wonders if his status as the protagonist will save him if he goes out to deal with Remi on his own. Moments later he also resists tempting fate by refusing to note no one has been melted yet.
• Power Glows - "What's wrong Jun-kun!? You're emanating a pointless golden aura!"
• Proper Tights with a Skirt - Putina and Ran. The latter is a subversion.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni - Well, Pink Oni and Teal Oni, with Remi and Ell respectively.
• Redshirt Army - The Hot Springs Task Force.
• Rescue Romance - How Putina falls for Junichiro right after their first meeting.
• Rule of Funny - The game runs on this in the way Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann or Warhammer 40000 run on Rule of Cool.
• Shock and Awe - Putina's body can release a huge amount of static electricity. In the epilogue of her route, she becomes an full-blown Expy of Misaka Mikoto.
• Shout-Out - All over the place. To Heart 2, Iron Man, James Bond, Metal Gear Solid, Detective Conan, Code Geass, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Shenmue, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Superman, Sister Princess, Zone of the Enders, Mega Man, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fate/stay night... look, there are a plenty of them okay?
  • Fist of the North Star:
    • Qoo - "It's the new "You Wa Shock!" stun gun!"
    • Junichiro - "That's quite the end-of-the-century weapon you've got there!"
    • Many attack names are also mentioned.
  • G Gundam:
    • "Gluttony fight... Reeeeeaaaadyyyy.... GO!"
    • "Remi's right arms shines and cries out to defeat me."
    • Junichiro - "This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! It's bright grip tells me to make you squirt!"
  • Yu-Gi-Oh!:
    • "You've activated my trap card!
  • Gurren Lagann:
    • "Believe in us, who believes in you!"
  • GaoGaiGar:
    • Yukino - "Final transformation, approved!"
    • Ell/Jun - "Roger! Final transformation, OVERDRIVE!"
    • Complete with the comic picture having two seperate "GGG"s.
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion:
    • Qoo - "Singing is great. Singing enriches the soul. It's the crowning achievement of the culture that the Lilim created. Don't you think so, Junichiro?"
  • Code Geass:
    • Morita - "However, don't forget. The power of kings will surely lead you to solitude."
    • Hot Springs Task Force - "YES, YOUR HIGHNESS!!"
    • Jun - "All of you, look into my eyes."
    • Even more hilarious as he's confronting armed soldiers when he says it.
• Shrinking Violet - Ell when she's introduced.
• Sibling Yin-Yang - Ell and Remi.
• Spaceship Girl - Ell and Remi.
• Stalker with a Crush - Remi towards Yukino in the latter's and Ell's route.
• Starfish Alien - Aliens like Saionji. They don't actually have corporeal bodies as such, though they still somehow manage to reproduce and tend to hitchhike off of local organisms when working. That said, they think in exactly the same manner as a human.
• The Starscream - Remi in Ell's route.
• Supreme Chef - Ran. Justified since she actually works at a restaurant.
• Talk to the Fist - "Wait, Jun-kun. Suddenly resorting to violence is bad!" "Sorry, his speech was long, so I just slugged him."
• The Tease - Ran, oh so much. It's pretty clear that she wishes he would make a move. She's probably stop teasing and make a move herself if it wasn't for the fact that she's not supposed to have a relationship with an earthling as a member of the Guardians.
  • Jun as well. Sometimes when Ran teases him he'll tease right back. However, she's good at keeping a straight face. There is at least one occasion though where she starts blushing furiously when Jun can no longer see her face.
• Third Person Person - Remi
• Too Kinky to Torture - Kuon enjoys being hit with Putina's fan entirely too much.
• Trademark Favorite Food - Ell loves everything with yakisoba, and Remi likes fried rice.
• Translation Convention - Putina and Kuon, both native speakers of Russian, seem to like speaking Japanese even if they are alone together.
• Tranquil Fury - Ell. Remi learns about this in the hard way:

Remi: W-W-Wait a minute! Did you just shoot Remi's head? Did you just fire a laser from your finger? Ell: I did, so?

• Tsundere - Putina. Though she doesn't know what the word means when it's lampshaded. Oddly enough she DOES know what it is when playing Yukino's route.
  • Jun claims to be one in Ran's route, saying that when he goes dere everyone will just drop dead from the moe.
• Tsurime Eyes - Putina
• Tyke Bomb - Putina was restructured and trained by Guardian to serve their own purpose.
• Unfazed Everyman/Token Human - Yukino is the only one among the main cast who is not related to aliens in some way. Even Ran and Morita turn out to be aliens. Whether her ability to naturally accept everything going on is due to brainwashing or not is ambiguous.
• Unusual Euphemism - Back and forth between Ran and Jun.
• Verbal Tic - Remi's "Mokyuu~", Souma's "Jesus".
• Virgin Power/You Need to Get Laid - Souma taps into the resentment of bitter singles to try to topple the government by promising a governmental match-making service, and he tries to get Christmas abolished as a romantic holiday. Remi wonders just why he uses this angle...
• Wave Motion Gun - Vector Cannon, a Shout-Out to Zone of the Enders.
• Well Done Daughter Girl - Remi.
• Wife Husbandry - Souma claims to have done this to Putina.
• What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome? - Peeping on girls changing or in the hot springs involves epic confrontations with a Ninja Maid, units of special forces soldiers, rousing speeches, and death traps. Kind of justified given that Junichiro is peeping on world leaders who'd need special security 24/7.
  • Also, any time anybody eats anything.
• What Is This Thing You Call Love? - Ell's reaction once she starts falling for Junichiro.
• White-Haired Pretty Girl - Irina Vladimirovna Putina.
• Why Did It Have to Be - Putina has a crippling fear of darkness, and Ell suffers from acrophobia.
• Widget Series - Genderflipped President Obama and Vladimir Putin. You date them. Need I say more?
  • Could stand to mention the loli alien and her tentacle lie detector machine or the kung fu panda enemy.
• Wouldn't Hit a Girl - Jun. Instead, he gropes Kuon into submission! ...That sounded worse than intended. Let's try that again: He groped her into fleeing the battlefield and also gaining something of a crush on him.
• Zettai Ryouiki - Yukino is Grade A, and Ell is Grade B.
