K-ON! Part 1:
Q: If I play 01-001 "Hirasawa Yui" in the support area, can I play it in the main area, too?
A: No you can't. You can only have one of the "same series/same card" in play, in both the main and support areas combined.

Q: If I play 01-083 "Manabe Nodoka" (green 0/1 character - When this character comes into play, look at the top 10 cards of your deck. Take one character that has "gakuensai," show it to your opponent, and put it in your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards) in the support area, can I play a new 01-083 "Manabe Nodoka" in the support area?
A: No you can't. If there is already that card in play, you cannot play a new one.

Q: 01-049 "Nakano Azusa" says "this card cannot get trashed during approach". Does this mean when the card is blocking, too?
A: No, that only refers to when that card is approaching.

Q: If 01-176 "Nekomimi" is attached to a character without the card type "nekomimi", does it still get +10/+10?
A: No, only the characters that have the card type "nekomimi" get +10/+10.

Q: 01-056 "Tainaka Ritsu" says "This card can be played outside of your main phase as well". What kind of timing does that refer to?
A: It means that you can play the card during the opponent's main phase, and during either player's approach at any time you could play an event card.
Q: 01-059 Hirasawa Yui says "If you play a Nakano Azusa this turn, you may search your deck for a "Nekomimi" and put it in your hand." If you play more than one Nakano Azusa in a turn, can you search your deck multiple times?
A: No, because it says "If you ~" (~する場合), not, "Whenever you ~" (~するごとに).

Q: 01-060 Akiyama Mio says "When this card comes into play, take a "Nekomimi" from your graveyard and attach it to this card". Can you pay for this card using a "Nekomimi", and then take that same nekomimi and attach it to this card?
A: Yes, you can.

Q: If you only have one "Hirasawa Yui" and no "Hirasawa Ui" in play, can you play "Nakayoshi Shimai (Main/Jibun, One of your "Hirasawa Yui" cards, and one of your "Hirasawa Ui" cards gets +20/+20 until the end of the turn")?
A: No, you cannot, because you don't have a Hirasawa Ui to target.

Q: If you play 01-016 "Akiyama Mio" (Active, at the end of the turn, return this character to your hand), and it gets trashed, does it get returned to your hand from the trash pile at the end of the turn?
A: No, it doesn't.

Q: If my opponent's 01-016 "Hirasawa Yui" (If you play a "Fuwafuwa time" card this turn, and she goes unblocked, take 2 points instead of just 1) hits me for 2 points, and the cards that get flipped over are both "Break" cards, can I use the "Break" ability on both of them?
A: Yes, you can. You can also choose just one of them and use the break on just that one if you like, too.

Q: If you use 01-065 Kotobuki Tsumugi (10/20 main/jibun - tap - take one of your face up cards in your point pile, put it in your hand, and then put a card from your hand into your point pile face up), and you put a card that has "break" on the point pile, can you activate the "break" ability?
A: No, you cannot. Break only activates when the card is flipped over from the opponent hitting you during their approach, or any "hitting for a point" card effects.

Q: If you are at 6 points, and get hit by the opponent, but the 7th card is 01-171 "Houkago Tea Time" (green 5/1 event, BREAK! main/jibun: take a card from your point pile and add it to your hand, then discard a card from your hand), can you use the BREAK! ability to stay alive?
A: No, you cannot. The moment you are at 7 points, the game immediately ends.

Q: The timing of 01-112 "Kushami"(red 5/1 event, BREAK! main/jibun: return an opponent's character to their hand") says "main/jibun" for timing. If you get hit with a point, and this card comes out, can you use the break ability at that moment, even if it's not your main phase?
A: Yes, the break effect means you can use it at that moment.

Q: If one of your characters has a "Nekomimi" attached to it, and that character gets returned to your hand, what happens to the Nekomimi?
A: The nekomimi gets put into the trash pile, while the character gets returned to your hand.

Q: Can you use a card this turn that says "approach/jibun" if you don't attack this turn?
A: No, you can only use events that says "approach" timing during approach. If you don't attack with any characters, you can't use the event card.

Q: Can you use 01-123 "Kashi Sakuseichuu" (blue 0/1 event main/jibun: tap one of your "Akiyama Mio" cards and draw 2 cards) on a Mio that's already tapped?
A: No, you cannot. You must tap an untapped Mio in order to get the ability from the card.
Q: What sort of timing does the card 01-107 "Dadakko" (red 2/1 event: main/jibun: pick one of your characters. That character cannot be blocked by creatures that have cost less than the amount of cards you have in your hand) have?
A: At the time Dadakko was played, you count the amount of cards, for example, 4 cards. This means characters with cost 4 or less cannot block this character for the rest of the turn, even if, at the time of attacking, you have less cards in your hand than that.

Q: Can I discard two 2-source characters to pay for a 3 cost character?
A: Yes, you can. However, the extra 1 source goes away and cannot be used to play out another card.

Q: Can i play 01-083 "Manabe Nodoka" (green 0/1 character - When this character comes into play, look at the top 10 cards of your deck. Take one character that has "gakuensai," show it to your opponent, and put it in your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards) if I have less than 10 cards in my deck?
A: No, you cannot. You need at least 10 cards to be able to play out this character.

Q: If my opponent has no 2 cost characters, can I play 01-094 "Hirasawa Yui" (Green 2/2 character 10/20: When this character comes into play, tap one of your opponent's 2 cost or less characters)?
A: Yes, you can. However, because there's no targets, the "come into play" effect doesn't occur.

Q: If you use 01-132 - Sawa-chan no sennou (3/1 blue event: requirement - Yamanaka Sawako: main/jibun - pick one of the opponent's characters. Return that character to the opponent's hand, and then they pick a character in their hand and put it into play), and they put in a character that has a "when this character comes into play" effect, does that effect happen?
A: No, it doesn't. "When this character comes into play" effects only happen when you play the character from your hand like normal.

Q: Can I play 01-149 "kyuujitsu no sugoshigata" (yellow 2/2 event, main/jibun: both players choose and trash one point from their point pile") if the opponent has no cards in their point pile?
A: No, you cannot. You can only use this if both you and your opponent can trash a card.

Q: If i play 01-109 "kanzen nensho" (red 0/1 event. main/jibun: all attacking and blocking characters this turn get returned to their owner's hand at the end of the turn), can I return creatures from my trash pile that attacked that turn to my hand?
A: No, this only refers to creatures that are in play at the end of the turn that attacked or blocked that turn.

Q: If I play 01-145 "chuusenken" (yellow 0/1 event main/jibun: both players reveal the top card of their decks. The player with the higher cost on their card draws 3 cards. If both cards are the same cost, then each player draws 1 card. Afterwards, return the revealed cards back to the top of the library), do I have to return the revealed card even if I drew that card?
A: No, only the cards that were revealed and NOT drawn go back to the original position on top of the library.

Q: If my opponent plays an event on their turn, and I use 01-128 "kyohi hannou" (blue 3/1 event interrupt/both: Counter target event), which one takes priority?
A: The counter target event takes priority.

The next few questions are in regard to the card 01-122 "hyouhen" (blue 0/1 event, approach/both switch target character's AP and DP until the end of the turn). For a short period in time, this card dominated tournaments because people took it to mean, if you switched target character's current AP and DP until the end of the turn, then that became the new AP/DP of that character, as in, what would be written on the card. This allowed characters that got a passive +20/+20 ability to get an additional +20/+20 on both attack and defense.
For example:
I attack with 02-016 "Hirasawa Yui". (red 2/2 character 20/10 - If you have 5 or more characters in play, then this card gets +20/+20) I have 5 or more characters in play, so it's currently a 40/30. My opponent blocks with a 40/40. I then use hyohen changing the 40/30 to a 30/40. Now that the character's new AP/DP is 30/40 (as opposed to 20/10), it gets the "5 or more character's +20/+20", thus making it a 50/60.

It was later ruled that that was not how the card works, and they're clarifying it here.

Q: If I have 5 or more characters, and I attack with 02-016 Yui, and use Hyouhen, what is the Yui's AP/DP?
A: It becomes a 30/40.

Q: If I use 01-002 "Hirasawa Yui" (red 2/2 character 20/20: no abilities), and I use 01-118 "Christmas" on it (Red 1/1 event: approach/both - If you have 4 or more prizes, you may use this card. Give one of your characters +20/+0 until the end of the turn), and then I use Hyouhen, what is my character's AP and DP?
A: It goes from a 40/20 to a 20/40.

Q: If i use Christmas on a 02-016 Yui, and then I use Hyouhen, what's the AP/DP of the Yui?
A: It goes from 40/30 to 60/30, and then that gets reversed and it becomes a 30/60.

Q: If i attach a 01-175 "Giita" (red 0/2 support - This can only attach to a "Hirasawa Yui". The character this is attached to gets +10/+0) on a 01-002 "Hirasawa Yui", and then use hyouhen, what's the new AP/DP.
A: The 20/20 changes to a 20/20 (or rather, remains the same), and then the effect of the guitar is taken into consideration, making it a 30/20.
