History Manga / Aiura

Aiura is an ongoing Japanese {{yonkoma}} manga series by Chama. It was first published on the Niconico Seiga image sharing website in a subsection that hosted user-submitted and officially-serialized manga, and later in the magazine 4-Koma Nano Ace. An anime television series consisting of twelve five-minute episodes premiered on Japanese television in [[Spring2013Anime April 2013]].

* AttentionWhore: Kanako

* ComicTrio: The three girls. Ayuko is [[TheLeader the leader]], Kanako is [[TheFool the fool]], and Saki is the [[OnlySaneMan only sane woman]].

* TheDitz: Kanako, to such a degree that even a teacher and her mother have called her an idiot.
* FakingTheDead: In a bid for attention, Kanako attempts this on two separate occasions. Saki ignores her, and afterwards muses that had it been Ayuko, she would have been genuinely concerned.

* IdolSinger: Kanako's lifelong dream. Her own mother told her she was too much of an idiot to do anything else.

--->'''Kanako:''' Did an alien kill your fellow apprentice?.\\

* Sensei-chan: Misuzu-sensei wears a SailorFuku, plays the cutesy act, and Kanaka calls her "Misuzu-chan".

----

* SeinfeldianConversation: Since it's adapted from a 4koma, you can expect to find this.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Saki is [[TallDarkAndSnarky tall]], with [[BoyishShortHair boyish short hair]], and has a lifelong ambition is to marry into money.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Saki is [[TallDarkAndSnarky tall]], with [[BoyishShortHair boyish short hair]], and her lifelong ambition is to marry into money.

* TallDarkAndSnarky: Iwasawa Saki

It follows the lives of high school students Amaya, Iwasawa, and Uehara, three "annoying, spirited high school girls with zero motivation," and the lives of those around them. Because of its short length, the show bypasses many of the trappings associated with [[SliceOfLife slice of life]] comedy, and maintains consistency by focusing on only one or two incidents in each episode.

* ButtMonkey: Souta, who Amaya and Ayuko trick into losing a game of "Jango" and buying them snacks.

* ShoutOut Right off the bat, there's one to [[DragonBall Dragon Ball]]:

* RedOniBlueOni: Amaya plays the red oni to Saki's blue oni.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: One of the biggest complaints about the anime is its five-minutes-per-episode formula. About a minute and a half of that consists of the opening and ending themes.

* HurricaneOfPuns: Intentional or not, the opening is full of them, from the similarities between the title and Apple's "i-" suffix, to "crab apples," to obscure allusions to a species of crab whose name ends in "-ura," to Steve Job's death by cancer.

* ButtMonkey: Souta, who Kanaka and Ayuko trick into losing a game of "Jango" and buying them snacks.

* ShoutOut Right off the bat, there's one to DBZ:

* ShrinkingViolet: How Kanaka remembers Saki from in middle school, complete with glasses. Saki denies this, but whether it is true has yet to be seen.

* RedOniBlueOni: Kanaka plays the red oni to Saki's blue oni.

* SeinfeldianConversation: Since it's adapted from a 4koma, you can expect this.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Saki is [[TallDarkAndSnarky tall]], with [[BoyishShortHair boyish short hair]], and her lifelong dream is to marry into money.

* MsFanservice: Strangely enough, almost all fanservice is limited Saki, indisputably the most masculine of the girls--[[ZettaiRyouiki probably because of her legs]].
