Eiken (rhymes with "Achin'") is an 18-volume manga series and two-episode
OVA by Seiji Matsuyama, where a
dorky kid named Densuke gets dropped into a school full of large-breasted girls vying for his attention...but he just wants the eyes of the "cutest girl in school", Chiharu. Hilarity and
extremely suggestive hijinks ensue as Kirika Misono, a
Hot Amazon Jerkass Parker Lewis Ferris Bueller, shanghais both of them into her private fiefdom, the Eiken club, to serve as her
Butt Monkeys. At least this means Densuke has an excuse to talk to Chiharu now...
Eiken is most well known in the West for its OVA, although it's a loose adaptaton that hardly covers the original manga at all.
The Eiken manga and OVA contain examples of:
- Accidental Pervert: Densuke.
- Absurdly Powerful Student Council: They attempt to disband the Eiken club in a manga Story Arc.
- I Am Spartacus: The climax of the student council arc, when it appears Chiharu will be forced to leave the school.
- Chinese Girl: Lin Grace.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Yuriko, Chiharu's sister who decides to try seducing Densuke away from her sister.
- Covert Pervert: The Teacher.
- Cute Shotaro Boy: Densuke; Kirika makes him fulfill the crossdressing aspect of the trope.
- Determinator: Densuke is a failure in many ways -- but he'll go to amazing lengths for those he cares about.
- Dojikko: The Teacher, Komoe, and Densuke.
- Elevator School: Zashono Academy -- it fills an entire island.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: The Teacher -- she was created just to lampshade some Fridge Logic about the club having no adult supervision, and rapidly became one of the most popular characters.
- Everyone Calls Him Barkeep: The nameless Teacher/Professor.
- Fetish Fuel Super Unleaded.
- Gag Boobs: To the point of Refuge In Audacity.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Kyoko.
- Guilty Pleasures
- Hotter And Sexier: The OVA takes the fanservice way over the top -- which is something, considering the manga.
- Humongous Mecha: Kyoko builds these; Densuke gets to be a guinea pig.
- Imagine Spot: Densuke.
- Jekyll And Hyde: Inverted -- In the manga, Hot Amazon Jerkass Kirika spontaneously changes into a Yamato Nadeshiko around Densuke on occasion. He never figures out whether it's a Split Personality, if Kirika's tormenting him in a creative way, or if she's letting the mask slip.
- Jerk With A Heart Of Gold: Kirika
- Mary Kay Le Tourneau Teaches Here: It rapidly becomes clear that the Teacher has it bad for Densuke, especially in the arc where Densuke has to meet her parents while being The Beard for her.
- Nakama: The Eiken club.
- Official Couple: Densuke and Chiharu.
- The Ojou: Lin Grace
- The Paolo
- Pretty Freeloaders: The Eiken club, who essentially evolve into Densuke's Unwanted Harem as the manga progresses.
- Storming The Castle
- Student Council President: Chou Ginten, a Knight Templar Big Bad for an arc from the manga. (She's technically the treasurer, but she's bullied the actual president into submission.)
- Trickster Mentor: Kirika, in her own way, acts as Densuke's guardian angel in his pursuit of Chiharu.
- Tsundere: Kyoko, Kirika.
- Two Timer Date
- Yamato Nadeshiko: Chiharu.
- Yum Yum: There's a school competition that requires girls to eat chocolate-covered bananas! The anime also makes Kirika do this in almost all of her scenes.
