''Hang In There, Kogasa-San'' is a [[Touhou]] Fan [[Web Comic]] story about Kogasa Tatara and Sanae Kochiya being happily married and living together. Both are famous manga artists and the story describes their daily lives between traveling, conventions and general tasks for work. The catch is that all the story lines are based on the life of the author, Mizuki Hitoshi, comedically exaggerated.

It is published daily on [[Pixiv]], and an English-translated and regularly updated version can be found [http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/2420 here]. ('''[[Not Safe for Work|NSFW]]''' ads warning).

{{tropelist}}
* [[Acrophobic Bird]]: Sadly, only the acrophobia part of the trope applies to Kogasa.
* [[Author Avatar]]: Kogasa for the maker, Sanae for his wife, and random Touhou characters for everyone else.
* [[Big Eater]]: Kogasa.
** A later arc gave [[Justification]] to this--the author is from rural [[wikipedia:Kochi prefecture|Kochi Prefecture]], where "country folks' hospitality is the amount of their food" and "sincerity is measured in calories."
** Yuyuko, much to Kogasa's despair.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Remilia and arguably Flandre.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Sanae's Youmu cosplay.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Kogasa, most of the time.
* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: Kogasa, who got drunk once by a ''single'' sip of beer.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Changes between Kogasa and Sanae.
* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]: Sanae.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Sanae. Not ''too'' covert though.
* [[The Cameo]]: [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/886408 Look at what Kogasa] [[Minecraft|is playing]]
** {{spoiler|[[Action Bomb]]: The last panel of the above, look at the screen. Kogasa's about to be exploded by a Creeper ingame.}}
* [[Diary]]: The story is the author's journal.
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Happened more than one time to Kogasa.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Sanaewife
** Kogauthor
** [[Just for Pun|Sanaelation]], for the inevitable result of Kogasa drawing his wife's ire.
* [[Food Porn]]: Rather frequent, given that Kogasa and Sanae are both cardinal foodies.
* [[Gender Flip]]: The writer is male (as are a few of the other characters); his [[Author Avatar]] is female in [[Canon]]; and yet considered male in-story.
* [[H-game]]: Kogasa played one of these with obvious consequences.
* [[Happily Married]]: Kogasa and Sanae.
* [[Life Embellished]]: The premise of the comic.
* [[Made of Iron]]: Kogasa.
** [[Iron Butt Monkey]]
* [[Meido]]: In once instance, Kogasa has to dress up as this as punishment.
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Yamame.
* [[Otaku Surrogate]]: Sanae is a Gundam fan, sometimes to Kogasa's horror. (Kogasa himself is more into [[Moe]].)
* [[Running Gag]]: Kogasa orders a meal only to get a wrong one or nothing at all.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Rare for a daily webcomic. The only major period of slip was a 11-day period during mid-October 2011, when the writer claimed to be backlog of 16 pages of draft. He even tried to remedy the situation by uploading 3 archived strips in the beginning.
* [[Sequential Artist]]: a certain amount of the strips was basically the pain of being a doujinshi artist; there were poorly-conducted cons that made substantial loss (q.v. the below PMMM convention), and there've been cases where he had to attend cons that he didn't want any part of.
* [[Shout-Out]]: An entire arc was more or less re-creating ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]''. Fitting, since the arc was on a PMMM con.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Sort of. In one story arc, the characters watch episodes of [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]].
* [[Slice of Life]]
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: Some of the one-shot characters do this.
* [[Yonkoma]]
