History Manga / Teekyuu

* CuteAlienGirl: Tomarin, at least in her human form.

''Teekyuu'' is the [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs acid-induced love child]] of Earth Star Entertainment, creators of ''Manga/EncouragementOfClimb''. It was published in 2012 as a manga in Earth Star's self-published ''Comic Star Magazine'', and was adapted the same year into a 2-minute, short format anime by Tokyo Metropolitan Station. Shin Itagaki not only directed the show, but also scripted, edited, storyboarded, and even composed music for it. The series is [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/teekyu currently running]] on Crunchyroll, currently at eight seasons consisting of twelve episodes each.[[note]]In the time it takes you to watch one episode of a standard-format anime series, you can watch an ''entire season'' of ''Teekyuu''.[[/note]]

* RapunzelHair: Nasuno and Kanae can grow hair at an exponential speed. Yuri takes them to a salon, assuming that Nasuno will want to cut it; somehow she grows it ''even longer'' (let's not talk about Kanae; you get the idea).

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each episode title is "X With Senpai", the X being the name of a famous movie. Some have included ''Film/{{Juon}} With Senpai!'' and ''Film/TheGrandBudapestHotel with Senpai!'' Usually, the episodes have elements ancillary to the movies themselves, but have very little to do with the movie's plot. For example ''Film/MenInBlack with Senpai'' has to do with alien life forms and ''Film/MadMax with Senpai'' has harassing thugs that dress like the movie's characters. Then there's ''Film/TED with Senpai'', which simply has a talking bear who Kanae and Marimo ask about tips to hibernate.

* OnlySaneMan: Yuri usually takes this role, but when the other tennis club members are absent, Marimo ironically ends up taking that role instead.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: The four girls make up a tennis club...that does everything except ''actually play tennis''. When approached for an interview, they do everything short of demonstrating a tennis match, including playing ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'' and then doing a re-enactment of it.

* SpinOff: Nasuno got one entitled, "Takamiya Nasuno Desu!"

* MilestoneCelebration: To celebrate their 100th episode, Kanae presented the Top Teekyuu Character Poll...where apparetnly no votes were ever given so it was basically just naming random characters in no particular order.

* OlderThanSheLooks: Kanae is the same age as Marimo and Nasuno, but she looks like a little girl. Yuri is a year younger than her and she is like two heads taller than Kanae, ''Yuri being the third tallest of the girls''.

* OffModel: Intentionally with Kanae and Marimo, who happen to be the zaniest of the girls. Nasuno and Yuri usually don't have markedly exaggerated expressions like the other two.

* MsFanservice: Though it includes all of the protagonist girls, an emphasis is put on Nasuno in particular, who happens to be the curviest [[BuxomIsBetter the most buxom of the girls]].

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Nasuno's solution to everything is to throw money at it.

* ACupAngst: Kanae is markedly envious of her clubmates' attributes and height, in spite having the same age as them.
