''Toritsu Mizushou!'' (''School of Water Business'') is a 22-volume manga by Inokuma Shinobu, based on a story by Murozumi Hikaru. In the sleepless town of Kabuki-cho stands a high school unique in Japan, where students are taught the ways of the "water trade", i.e. prostitution. The story follows the lessons and tribulations of its students and staff, from the inauguration of Mizushou to the graduation of its very first generation, three years down the road. It is SliceOfLife, school drama, and romantic comedy, with all the {{Fanservice}} one might expect from the premise while still focusing on plot and characterization.

!!This manga provides examples of:

*AllLoveIsUnrequited: At least until the end, for some.
*BadassMustache: Principal Yagura.
*BlankWhiteEyes: A frequent occurrence. Also the default expression of Izumi's younger siblings.
*{{Buttmonkey}}: Tanabe-sensei. Nagasawa also gets his share of abuse.
*CampGay: Ono-sensei and pretty much everyone else in the Gay Bar course, with one noted [[{{Transsexual}} exception]].
*{{Cant Hold His Liquor}}: Tanabe-sensei's drunken rampages become infamous throughout the school (and probably throughout the town, too).
*CaughtInTheRain: Happens to Tanabe-sensei and Yoshioka-sensei in Volume 10. Nothing much happens in the physical sense (aside from him [[HangingOurClothesToDry stripping off her wet clothes]] so her fever doesn't worsen), but we do find out something significant to their relationship.
*TheChikan: Played with. [[WholesomeCrossdresser Teppei]] is elated to have encountered one, the Fuuzoku class simulates the situation as an exercise, and one appears during the baseball tournament arc [[spoiler:as part of a plot to discredit the Mizushou team]].
*ChivalrousPervert: Takigawa is one of the more openly perverted characters in the story, but still a good man who goes to great lengths to help those who need it. He also [[spoiler:works at the Japanese Ministry of Education and is a key person behind the founding of Mizushou]].
*ClassTrip: To either Hokkaido or Kyushu, though only the Hokkaido trip is shown.
*ComicalAngryFace: Usually Mari and Nagasawa at [[BelligerentSexualTension each other]], or Kurosawa-sensei towards some unfortunate victim
*ADateWithRosiePalms
*DefeatMeansFriendship: A slightly stronger version, after [[spoiler:Teppei-chan defeats Rikimaru in the judo tournament]], the latter shows up outside Mizushou's front gate...with flowers.
**And even before that, [[spoiler:Nagasawa begins to fall for Mari]] after provoking her to a fight and suffering a humiliating defeat [[IncrediblyLamePun at her hands]].
*EvilGloating: Sakuma indulges in this.
*{{Foreshadowing}}: As early as Volume 1, we are shown [[spoiler:Tanabe-sensei's reason for leaving his previous school was due to a student falling in love with him and the subsequent fallout. The resolution of this event is the last major arc of the manga]].
*GagPenis: Not so much in terms of size, but as an actual gag. One class exercise involved a "customer costume" consisting of swim trunks with a fair-sized ''kokeshi'' attached. Tanabe-sensei seemed crestfallen.
*ImportantHaircut: [[spoiler:Teppei-chan cuts his hair as part of his resolve to make it to Koushien with Ooigawa]].
*Joshikousei
*LoveDodecahedron: A fairly tangled mass centered around the main couple.
*LuminescentBlush: Most characters get this at some point.
*MegatonPunch: Inflicted on Nagasawa by Mari after most of their [[BelligerentSexualTension arguments]].
*NakedApron: Susie does it, but her roommate is not very appreciative.
*{{Nosebleed}}: Often, of the high-pressure variety.
*NotWhatItLooksLike: Though Tanabe later averts an ICanExplain, due to events in the preceding arc.
*OlderThanTheyLook: Koizumi Chika.
*OrderedToCheat: Ooigawa is told to do this by his abusive coach Kinoshita. [[spoiler:He rebels in the end and transfers to Mizushou afterwards]].
*PantsFree: After getting into a fight after some [[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces sex on the school roof]], Susie wanders back into the school without skirt or panties.
*PantyShot: One of the milder forms of {{Fanservice}} used, really.
*ParentalAbandonment: Many of the students suffer from this. AbusiveParents show up as well.
*PunnyName: Oda Mari. ''Odamari'' means "Please be quiet!" She is fully aware of and much annoyed by this.
**She later meets a woman whose name can be read as "stuffy nose".
*ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Most of the school's staff are this, being as much the focus of the story as the students.
*SchoolFestival: Being set in a high school, both this and an athletics festival show up. Don't expect any of the usual events, though.
*SchoolIdol: Reira thinks she should be this, but [[WholesomeCrossdresser Teppei-chan]] is quite evidently the real idol of the school.
*SchoolOfSeduction: Mizushou is a straight example, and located in a RedLightDistrict to boot.
*SmugSnake: Sakuma, oh so much.
*Their First Time: The lead-up to [[spoiler:Mari and Nagasawa]]'s first time is played fairly seriously, after much angst on both sides. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Then it makes it into the school newspaper]].
*ThoseTwoGirls: Ryouko and Izumi are this to Mari for much of the story.
*VirginTension: Subverted. [[spoiler:Mari]] is actually a virgin despite have engaged in ''[[CompensatedDating enjou-kousai]]'' prior to enrolling at Mizushou. However, [[spoiler: the Fuuzoku course does not accept virgins, due to the sexual nature of the career and the school's reluctance in leading to a student's first time being with a complete stranger as a customer]]. Ultimately the problem is solved, but not without first causing a good amount of angst.
*WholesomeCrossdresser: Teppei-chan, who is adored by his male ''and'' female classmates.
**By contrast, [[spoiler:Sakuma]]'s CreepyCrossdresser moment.
