Shinomiya Kyouya is forced to become a new member of the GJ, an unidentified club that dwells in a room of the former building of a certain school. Here he meets the club leader, Mao, a short girl with a big attitude; Mao's younger sister, Megumi, who has the heart of a bipolar angel; Shion, the recognized genius with a lack of common sense, and the always hungry and mysterious Kirara. Time flies with these unique girls around.
''GJ-bu'' (''Good Job Club'', pronounced "Good Jobbu") is a Japanese light novel series written by Shin Araki and illustrated by Aruya. It was adapted into an anime in January 2013.
----
!! This light novel series contains examples of:
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Kyoro's "Ore Man" persona causes the girls to {{squee}}.
* AllergicToLove: Mao, who couldn't stand anything {{Shoujo|Demographic}}, and even for {{Shonen|Demographic}} works, she couldn't stand when a kiss was involved. She loves BridalCarry, though.
* BadassAdorable: Mao.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: According to the novels, Mori[[spoiler:s]] usually wears male clothing and hence looks more like a butler than a maid.
* BigEater:
** Kirara, who is always seen to be eating.
** Tama happens to be one as well; she is frequently seen eating snacks and sweets, yet she does not seem to gain any weight (she even managed to lose weight despite eating a whole week's worth of cake). Much to [[WeightWoe Megumi's dismay]].
* BigBrotherAttraction: Kasumi is ''very'' close to her big brother. She stays in his room all the time, gets jealous when she finds out he brushes other girls' hair, and if that's not enough to imply her brother complex, she confiscates every novel with dirty content except for one, quietly explaining that she left that one because the heroine is the hero's little sister. She then demands that he read that one volume ''at least'' five times.
* BigLittleSister: Megumi is taller than her sister, Mao. While she's not too bothered by this, the fact that their younger sister Seira is a millimeter shorter annoys her to no end.
* BoobsOfSteel: Zig-zagged; averted by Megumi, the bustiest character, who proves to be too gentle-natured to have a hurtful bite and failed beat Kyoro in an arm wrestling contest. Very much played straight by Kirara (the second bustiest), who bites like a ''tiger'' and beats Kyoro so badly in the arm wrestling contest he literally lands on his head.
* CanadaEh: Kirara and her younger sister Geraldine are both Canadian and Geraldine used to live there.
* CanNotSpitItOut: [[spoiler:Mao and her feelings towards Kyoro. As Megumi says it, 'it's not that she doesn't want to, it's that she can't'.]]
* CartoonMeat: constantly eaten by Kirara in the anime, with other characters even commenting that it's [[MediumAwareness "That sort of meat that only shows up in anime."]]
* CatGirl: Kirara.
* ChildhoodFriend: Shion and the Amatsukas.
* ColorFailure:
** Occurs twice for hilarious reasons in episode 2.
** Happens twice to Megumi in episode 7; both due to WeightWoe.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The scene with Kyoro's sketchbook in episode 10 takes this to rather absurd lengths.
* CovertPervert: Shion. After Kyoro smuggled the large amount of ShonenDemographic manga and light novels that Mao may or may not stand (see AllergicToLove, above), Shion made a list of books "banned by Mao"--which lists the books Mao ''shouldn't'' read for being too intimate, and in the same time one she ''should'' read because they're enough intimate.
* CreditsJukebox: The anime changes the ending theme every two episodes.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Shion, Megumi and Kasumi all have this.
* CuteLittleFangs: Mao's are on display almost 24/7.
* DitzyGenius: Shion is capable of beating Chessmasters in chess but is astonished by things like instant ramen.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The sounds the girls make when they get their hair brushed can easily be mistaken for something else entirely.
* DraggedIntoDrag: Episode 9 features all the girls forcing Kyoro to cross-dress for their amusement. It turns out that Kyoro both [[AttractiveBentGender looked good in it]] and [[WholesomeCrossDresser got into character rather quickly]]. The girls [[GoneHorriblyRight weren't so amused anymore]]. They force him to do it again in episode 11, albeit this time it happens off-screen.
* EekAMouse: The entire club is terrified by a large spider in the first episode, despite Shion identifying it as harmless. Everyone, that is, save Megumi, who actually picks the spider up and releases it outside.
* ExtremeDoormat: Kyoro is very passive such that he pretty much just give a VisibleSigh to the girls' hijinks. In fact, he was described as "the peaceful defeatist."
* FantasticArousal: Kyoro's hair brushing will give this vibe to the girls.
* GirlySkirtTwirl: Mori does this for Kyoro multiple times much to his delight.
* HugeSchoolgirl: Kirara is considerably taller than the rest of the cast.
* InsaneTrollLogic:
** Mao forces Kyoro to give her candy or marshmallows for White Day, but she didn't give any chocolate to him at Valentine's Day (it was Mori).
** Kasumi hides Kyoro's ecchi novels because she didn't want Kyoro "became a boy", although she spare one volume because it has a [[IncestSubtext little sister as the heroine]].
* InSeriesNickname: Kyouya gets the nickname 'Kyoro' at the very end of the first episode.
* LargeHam: Kyoro while invoking his Ore-Man persona.
* {{Miko}}: Tama
* MeaningfulName: Name order considered, the names of the older two of the Amatsuka sisters can be translated as "Angelic Demon" (Mao) and "Angelic Goddess" (Megumi).
* {{Meido}}: Mori-san, although according to the novels she doesn't put on a maid uniform as often as in the anime. Megumi also dresses up as one in episode 4.
* MultiethnicName: Kirara's full name is Kirara ''Bernstein''. Although the Bernstein part comes from her stepfather.
* MumLooksLikeASister: Mori-san's mother, since she looks identical to Mori-san.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Kyoro's [[FantasticArousal hair brushing]] skills. It's also invoked by Mao on multiple occasions.
* NiceGuy: The girls found Kyoro so harmless. Lampshaded by the Amatsuka sisters.
* ObliviousToLove: In the novels Kyoro has a crush on Megumi, but Megumi didn't seem to notice it. On the other hand, in the anime all the girls have some ShipTease with him, but he didn't notice much, either.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Mao is the eldest sibling of Amatsuka family, yet can quite easily pass as an elementary student. She actually exploited this to have Kyoro brings her to a diner to have a children's meal. The novel noted she stopped growing since the fourth grade.
* PickyEater: Kirara, as shown in episode 7, REALLY doesn't like vegetables.
* RealMenHateSugar: The corollary was used. Kyoro once stated he didn't care for "real coffee" because it was too bitter, and prefers over-swetened canned coffee instead. He was immediately called "little kid" by Mao. On a macroscopic angle Kyoro isn't a "real man" either but a defeatist NiceGuy that the girls found harmless. Hence his occasional Ore-man form when the girls want someone more {{testosterone poison|ing}}ed.
* RunningGag:
** Mori [[GirlySkirtTwirl spins]] for Kyoro. Kyoro really likes this. Kyoro is later kicked by jealous club members.
** Shion's obsession with commoner's items.
** Mao biting Kyoro.
** Kyoro's "Ore-Man" mode.
* ShipTease: Happens every episode between Kyoro and the other female characters he interacts with.
* ShortStory: This series calls itself a {{yonkoma}} LightNovel, by having all stories four pages long.
* ShoutOut:
** In episode 5, Shion believes that Kyoro is anxious because [[Manga/SoulEater the picture on his wall is off by a few centimeters]].
** The second time Kyoro acts as "Ore Man" resembles Manga/{{JoJo|sBizarreAdventure}}.
** In the second episode, Megumi holds the box of a game of Twister. On the cover, there are three girls who look a lot like [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Rei, Asuka and Mari]].
** In episode 6, Kyouya's sister was seen reading ''Detective Doiru'', a thinly veiled spoof of ''Manga/CaseClosed''.
** In episode 9, Tama is reading a light novel. The character portraits from Anime/PsychoPass are on the front cover with different hair colours.
* ShelteredAristocrat: Shion acts like this, but there was a further justification--all her older brothers were all geniuses in one field or the other, so that she in fact doesn't need ''anything'' that comes outside of her household--those would be inferior to what is in her house anyway. When you have an blue-cordon class SupremeChef--or maybe an Supreme ''Barista'' as well--preparing your lunch box every day, do you expect you to know what ''[[UsefulNotes/RamenAsDehydratedNoodles Instant Noodles]]'' or ''Canned Coffee'' is? She doesn't, but she finds this depressing as well, and wants Kyoro (who is the only person of a lower status in the cast) to actually teach her those ''common sense''.
* SpoiledSweet: Shion, who as noted above is fascinated by lower-class living despite her genius brothers providing everything she could ever need, and Megumi, whose family employs at least two maidservants but who personally enjoys cooking, cleaning, crafting, and serving tea for her friends and is a FriendToAllLivingThings.
* StrongFamilyResemblance:
** Mori-san and her mom. Then they pull TheReveal in episode 11: Apparently the Mori who had her hair brushed was the ''mother''.
** When Kyoro cross dresses in episode 9, he looks a lot like his younger sister if she was older.
* SuperDeformed: Every now and then.
* SuperStrength:
** Kirara effortlessly flips Kyoro on his head during the arm wrestling contest.
** Episode 11 reveals that her younger sister Geraldine is capable of picking Kirara up and running with her.
* TaremeEyes: The entire cast except Shion, Tama, Mori and Seira have them.
* TalkingWithSigns: Geraldine since she doesn't know how to speak Japanese too well.
%%* TinyTyrannicalGirl: Mao, full stop.
* TokenMiniMoe:
** Mao; she's only 138 cm tall (just over 4'6").
** Gets a little more confusing when Tama and the main cast's little sisters start showing up. Granted, said sisters are still easily convinced that Mao is a grade-schooler although they don't look like they're much older.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
** Sweet potatoes for the girls.
** Kirara loves meat.
* TsurimeEyes:
** Shion, Tama, Mori and Seira have those.
** Kyoro in "Ore Man" mode has them as well. The rest of the time he has TaremeEyes.
* {{Tsundere}}: Mao.
* UnwantedHarem: This series is basically applying this concept into a SliceOfLife rather than RomanticComedy. Early on in the novels a ramen store owned already noted Kyoro pretty much has a harem.
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: Episode 8. In lieu of actually going to the pool, the female club members and their respective sisters mess around in their swimsuits in the club room.
* WeightWoe: Megumi.
* WholesomeCrossdresser:
** The girls in episode 11.
** Shion apparently participated in a butler cafe for a prior year's school festival. When she puts on her old costume for Kyoro, he spends the next several minutes in a daze.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: Shion, especially when not in school uniform.
