->''"That makes you a student, and we don't allow transfers. You're either leaving with a diploma or in a body bag. [[WelcomeToHell Welcome to Overlord Academy.]]"''
-->-- [[SadistTeacher Sadist Secretary]] Janet welcomes [[StrangerInAStrangeSchool Arthur Vogel]] to [[ExtranormalInstitute Overlord Academy]]

''[[http://www.overlordacademycomic.com Overlord Academy]]'' is a weekly webcomic about [[NaiveNewcomer an oboist]] who [[StrangerInAStrangeSchool accidentally transfers]] into a [[ExtranormalInstitute school for evil overlords]].

----
!!This webcomic provides examples of the following tropes:

* AerithAndBob: Arthur the NaiveNewcomer meets Hiro, Thaelia, Nobara, and... Kevin
* BerserkButton: Thae definitely has one [[http://overlordacademy.comicgenesis.com/d/20100128.html when it comes]] [[http://overlordacademy.comicgenesis.com/d/20101202.html to Hiro]].
** Just... don't mess with [[DestinationDefenestration Nova]].
* BraidsOfAction: When Thae gets into her ninja gear, she wears her hair in a long braid.
* ButtMonkey: Poor A-san can't seem to catch a break.
* CloudCuckoolander: Kevin
* CombatStilettos: [[ActionGirl Action Girl]] Thae is rarely seen out of her stilettos.
* CrashIntoHello: A-san and Kevin's [[HoYay first meeting]]
* CuteBruiser: Nova
* DestinationDefenestration: Nova's favorite method of disposing of anyone who pushes her [[BerserkButton berserk button]].
* ElaborateUniversityHigh: Somewhat subverted, since according to Thae, Overlord Academy [[http://overlordacademy.comicgenesis.com/d/20100211.html actually is this]].
* ElegantGothicLolita: Nova's preferred style of dress.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Darku-san
* ExtranormalInstitute: Overlord Academy itself.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Thae, with bonus MagicSkirt
* FunctionalMagic: Thae and Nova both seem to take for granted that magic exists, and Nova even uses it to [[HealingHands heal A-san's head]].
* TheGlomp: Nova literally knocks Thae to the ground in her first appearance.
-->'''Thae''': Nova, your love hurts!
* GratuitousJapanese: Mostly the use of [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics honorifics]] in nicknames. Somewhat justified by the fact that Nova is actually Japanese.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Hiro and Thae. He's 6'2", she's [[PintSizedPowerhouse 5'0"]].
* ICallItVera: Hiro has [[http://overlordacademy.comicgenesis.com/d/20101230.html "Alice"]]
* IdiotHair: A-san's cowlick
* ImprobableHairstyle: Thae somehow manages to be an [[ActionGirl action girl]] ninja with hair down to her ankles.
* InSeriesNickname: "A-san" for Arthur, despite his objections. "Darku-san" for his roommate. Both courtesy of [[TheNicknamer Nova and Thae]].
** "Nova" and "Thae" are actually nicknames, too, for Nobara and Thaelia respectively.
* LovableSexManiac: Kevin
* {{Miko}}: WordOfGod says that Nova works as a shrine maiden part-time. This may or may not have anything to do with her [[http://overlordacademy.comicgenesis.com/d/20100729.html apparent magical powers]].
* MrExposition: Thae plays this to A-san's TheWatson for a lot of the first chapter.
* MsFanservice: Thae, both [[FormFittingWardrobe in the]] [[SpyCatsuit comic]] and in the voting [[SexySantaDress rewards]].
* SexySantaDress: Thae in the Christmas voting reward.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: [[MsFanservice Thae]] wears the school uniform for much of the first chapter, despite the fact that school hasn't even started yet.
* SpyCatsuit: Thae, in her first appearance.
** Hiro seems to be wearing a matching one underneath his [[BadassLongcoat leather jacket]].
* StrangerInAStrangeSchool
* SuperStrength: Nova
* SuperheroSchool: Inverted with the titular academy being a school for villains. [[WordOfGod Word of God]] says that there is also a Hero Academy, though it has yet to appear.
* VillainProtagonist: Every main character aside from A-san is voluntarily attending a school dedicated to teaching them how to be evil.
* TheWatson: A-san acts as this a lot in the first chapter.
* WebcomicTime: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Hiro, who made his second appearance in the comic after a year's worth of strips.
-->'''Thae''': Hiro. It's been too long.
-->'''Hiro''': It's been a DAY.
* YaoiFangirl: Thae accuses Nova of being this.
