History Manga / AhoGirl

* NoRomanticResolution: [[spoiler:Sure, President got turned down for now, but she's back to being obsessed with Akuru shortly afterwards, and Yoshiko is still crazy for him. The series ends with neither of these cleanly dealt with.]]

''Aho Girl'' ("Idiot Girl") is a [[{{Yonkoma}} four-panel manga]] hitting hard on the front line between smartness and stupidity. It revolves around high schooler Yoshiko Hanabatake. As the series name implies, Yoshiko is stupid. Like, a "get all zeroes on multiple choice tests" level of stupid. The only person who is close to her initially is Akuru "A-kun" Akutsu, a genius and Yoshiko's long-suffering childhood friend. At the tearful pleas of Yoshiko's mother, Akuru vows to make Yoshiko mentally evolve to "at least something human-like". Along the way, they are joined by many other fellow idiots as they probe deeper into the true meaning of idiocy.

* CouchGag: The opening credits feature a gag and ends with a close-up of someone's reaction to the gag (the gag and the person varies with each episode).

* EveryoneHasStandards: Chapter 104 features a man gloating about how he's been molesting mature women on the train for 20 years. He makes the mistake with Yoshie([[XanatosGambit which is exactly what she wanted]])and tries to blackmail him into marrying Yoshiko for exchange with not telling the cops. He's so appalled at such a method and frightened by her persistence that once she corners him, he surrenders himself to the police instead.

* CatharsisFactor: For all you guys sick of anime constant with DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale, this anime is for you.

** [[NiceGuy Sayaka]] also does this to A-kun in Episode 5; when A-kun tries to get out of going on a vacation with the gang, she dissuades him of the notion he's the OnlySaneMan by informing him that his anti-social and violent tendencies make him just as weird as everyone else. To A-kun's horror, she tells him and if he keeps insisting being friendless, [[DidntThinkThisThrough he will end up doomed to be with Yoshiko]] ''[[SelfInflictedHell alone]]'' [[DidntThinkThisThrough in the future.]]

* AbhorrentAdmirer:
** A-kun is revolted by Yoshiko, due to both her lack of brains and her disgusting eating habits. Whenever he's asked if he likes Yoshiko he flatly responds that humans can't date monkeys.
** The Public Morals Chairwoman terrifies A-kun due to her habits of stalking, confusing leaps in logic, aggressive advances and all around emotional instability. It probably doesn't help that she's gullible enough to buy into Yoshiko's insanity so often.

* ArtisticAge: Despite A-kun stating her age to be "nearly forty", Yoshie could very easily be mistaken for Yoshiko's older sister due to the art style.

* BigBrotherInstinct: A-kun has a strong one towards his little sister Ruri.

* CreditsGag: The opening credits features a gag and ends with a close-up of someone's reaction to the gag (the gag and the person varies with each episode).

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: A-kun can OffhandBackhand Yoshiko automatically, to the point he accidentally almost beats his own sister when she shouts in a movie theater (he thought it was Yoshiko, who was actually taped up at the time; in "fairness", there's also no reason to suspect tying Yoshiko up would successfully prevent her from doing something stupid).
* ADogNamedDog: Yoshiko being the blithering imbecile she is, naturally names her new dog "Dog". When questioned on why on earth she would name her pet "Dog", [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she looks startled and asks "Was it]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint cats]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint that go 'woof'?"]]

* DumbassHasAPoint: Considering the series, Yoshiko is bound to get a point in every now and then.
** Right from the beginning of the series, she states that A-kun doesn't have any friends because he gets angry easily and has an anti-social personality. Despite [[SurroundedByIdiots his situation]], she's still correct (something the much more intelligent Sayaka also points out).
** When they first meet Ryuuichi and he's confrontational, Yoshiko correctly states that A-kun is being a coward.
** Although the course of action she subsequently takes ultimately falls under ZanyScheme, Yoshiko isn't wrong when she tells A-kun that his InnocentlyInsensitive response to Atsuko when she tried practice flirting on him was totally uncalled for, and her plan to do the opposite of what A-kun did actually works perfectly and manages to succeed in raising Atsuko's confidence.
** Despite giving her mostly terrible advice on how to become less plain, Sayaka notes that Yoshiko's suggestion to become fit through running is a surprisingly normal one.
** When a Gal student reveals she hasn't done anything romantic with her boyfriend for three months, Yoshiko warns that if she doesn't at least tell him she likes him, she could end up being dumped.

* GoofyPrintUnderwear: {{Invoked|Trope}} by Yoshiko's mom who states that only girls who wears these type of underwear are actually pure since it implies that they have no intention of showing them to any males. [[spoiler: Apparently, Sayaka's]] kitty-print panties counts and therefore, she is too pure to [[spoiler:go for A-kun]].

* NoIndoorVoice: Another reason why A-kun is annoyed by Yoshiko is that no matter what, Yoshiko ''never'' shuts up, and ''never'' says anything at a level less than a shout.

* ShoutOut: One chapter has Yoshiko and the Disciplinary President start [[Manga/{{Keijo}} fighting each other with nothing but their increasingly swollen chests]].
** Yoshiko approaches Ruri while saying she couldn't resist going against Ruri's pleads her not to approach her… and then says [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable "But I refuse/Daga kotowaru".]]

** In Chapter 8, Yoshie tries convincing Yoshiko into seducing A-kun -- via means ''of using sleeping pills with which to drug him'' -- in the hope of [[BabyTrap Yoshiko getting pregnant to ensure that A-kun marries her.]] As if to remove any uncertainty, the very panel where she discusses this is titled "''Use of Force.''" Subverted when A-kun catches suspicion and tricks Yoshiko into drinking the very drink he was supposed to get drugged by. And then he decides to confront Yoshie on it...

** Yoshiko approaches Ruri while saying she couldn't resist going against Ruri's pleads her not to approach her... and then says [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable "But I refuse/Daga kotowaru".]]

* ADogNamedDog: Yoshiko being the blithering imbecile she is, naturally names her new dog "Dog". When questioned on why on earth she would name her pet "Dog", [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she looks startled and asks "Was it ''cats'' that go 'woof'?"]]

In 2017, it was officially licensed in English by Kodansha Comics, and ended in December of the same year at 12 volumes.

* BlackComedy: Much like {{Seinfeld}}, this is a slice of life show where ''everyone'' is either a moron, sociopath or self-centered jerk, (if not all three), with the most decent human being in the cast only being able to nervously chuckle at the mean-spiritedness of the world around her.

* AllJustADream: Akuru knocks out his sister and Yoshiko after they start screaming and crying in a movie theater. His sister later wakes up and he claims she fell asleep doing her homework, and she finds it completely done. Meanwhile Yoshiko wakes up in her room, and concludes she must've learned how to teleport.

** Yoshiko's mom is a [[ComedicSociopathy Sociopathic]] GoldDigger whose main goal is to pimp out Yoshiko to A-kun so that she can get Yoshiko off her hands.
** Ruri, A-kun's little sister, is arguably even dumber than Yoshiko despite all her efforts to be a better student.

* HandyFeet: Episode 10 Part 39 has Yoshie taking off her shoe to use her foot to lift the skirt of The Public Morals Chairwoman, while grabbing her with both hands. To prevent herself from being seen without panties, The Public Morals Chairwoman in turn used her own foot to grab the panties from the nearest girl [[spoiler: which is Ruri, btw,]] and put them on.

** When Yoshiko eats some high quality bananas in episode three, she immediately decides on the spot to visit the farm it as grown on, and drags Sayaka with her. Unfortunately said farm was over 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) away, and she was going to get there by running on foot. At one point they stop to rest, and Yoshiko spends their money on some dolls instead of food and water. Sayaka runs away crying, since it was easier than trying to convince Yoshiko of her idiocy. After they greet and thank the farmer, Sayaka shuts Yoshiko up about running back home, and asks him for some bus fare home, which he obliges.

* {{Yonkoma}}: Started out as one in the beginning, but evolved into a regular gag manga afterwards.
