Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT) is a genre of manga and anime which focuses on young female characters doing a particular activity in a cute way, although the activity itself does not have to be cute. Usage of the phrase "cute girls doing cute things in cute ways" was seen as early as 2004 in reference to the series Strawberry Marshmallow, which helped popularize the term. In the late 2000s, the genre developed and was further popularized with series such as K-On!, which follows a group of school girls who form a band. There are some older series retrospectively now grouped into the genre, and cross-over with other genres such as iyashikei and slice of life.
