History Manga / AnneHappy

* {{Motifs}}: {{Four Leaf Clover}}s are everywhere; it's part of the series' logo, they're on the school uniform, Anne uses one as a {{Hair Decoration|s}}, and they're all over the anime's opening, ending, and Main/EyeCatch. Fitting for a series focused on unfortunate students.

* ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon: Timothy, who despite being cel-colored was obviously rendered in [=CGI=] rather than hand-drawn.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 5 focuses almost entirely on Hibiki and Ren's past together.

* ConspicuousCG: Timothy, who despite being cel-colored was obviously rendered in [=CGI=] rather than hand-drawn.

* EarWorm: Episode 10 has an InUniverse example. The Timothy Rap song is catchy enough that Ruri worries that she might be hearing it in her head for days.

* SpoilerOpening: In episode 10, Ruri acts as if she lacks singing talent when invited to a karaoke. However the opening already reveals Ruri is an excellent singer.

** The mobile weapon platform upgrade Timothy receives in episode 11 is the [[{{Franchise/Gundam}} RX-78GP03 Dendrobium Orchis]].

* BigEater: Ms. Kodaira.

* ContraltoOfDanger: It's ''really'' not a good sign whenever Ms. Kodaira's voice lowers an octave, as it means that her patience is wearing thin.

* EyesAlwaysShut: Ms. Kodaira, again.

* ACupAngst: Anne is prone to expressing displeasure with her assets when reminded of [[GagBoobs Botan's much larger bust]]. The issue is humorously only in Anne's imagination, as she's [[http://i.imgur.com/7tVPgAg.jpg at least average size]] and comparing herself to the most endowed student of the class. Timothy lecherously points this out when it wonders aloud what Botan has been eating to get her enormous chest.

* AnimalsHateHim: Anne likes animals. However animals ''don't'' like her back. Sakaki from Manga/AzumangaDaioh would definitely empathize with her situation. Not only ''real'' animals hate her; she has yet been able to pet Timothy, a ''rabbit-shaped robot''.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Ren looks more like a pretty boy than a girl.

* BornUnlucky: Anne. Kodaira's secret report on her bluntly says that her luck was "in the negative numbers". Despite this, she's still an odd case, as apparently she's ''so unlucky'' that it circles around and makes it seem that she was BornLucky instead. For example, in episode 1, she's the only person in the class whose egg didn't break (instead it ''hatched into a chick'', which should be impossible, as the eggs used were specifically at their expiry date), while in episode 2 its implied that the only reason why she wasn't able to get Ruri and Botan the drinks they wanted from the vendo machines was because the items loaded in it were mis-arranged in the first place. Because of this, may veer into UnluckilyLucky territory. It turns out to be genetic as her mother also has equal terrible luck.
* BrilliantButLazy: Ren is athletic and a very creative thinker, but tries to do the least amount of work and maximize her nap time.

* CatchPhrase: Hanako is fond of using the word ''sugoku'' (Japanese for ''immensely'') when describing how pleased she is about something. Creator/YenPress, for their literal style, decides not to consistently translate this.

* ChickMagnet: {{Exaggerated|trope}} in Ren's case; she can attract females of ''any'' species. This trope was spelt out word-by-word in Yen Press' translation.

* CloudCuckooLandersMinder:
** Ruri for both Anne and Botan, as she's the one who tries to keep them out of trouble most of the time.
** Ren and Hibiki are this for each other. Ren keeps Hibiki from getting lost, while Hibiki prevents Ren from being too lazy. Both are prone to getting into trouble if left alone without the other.

* DubNameChange: Anne is originally "An." Strangely, this is one of the few cases where the Western viewers don't complain about, probably because Cotoji calls the series ''Anne Happy'' in the first place, making "Anne" co-official with "An."

* FeminineWomenCanCook: Ruri. Justified in her case, however, as she's living alone and had to learn to cook for herself.

* FinaglesLaw: One can be absolutely sure Anne's always at the short end of it.

* FriendlessBackground: Ruri has no friends in middle school, and so she doesn't have much idea about what to wear to an outing with friends.
* GirlishPigtails: Hibiki had this hairstyle when she was younger.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Botan does this ''several'' times an episode.
* HeyYou: Hibiki doesn't use any JapaneseHonorifics to refer to anyone.

* IllGirl: Botan falls sick and/or get injured ''easily'', and that's putting it lightly. Much like Anne though, she's an odd case as while she gets hurt easily, Botan also ''recovers'' quickly as well, as none of her breaks or dislocations last more than a day in-universe.
* ImportantHaircut: Ren had one in the third grade, when she cut off her previously long hair to persuade Hibiki to agree to cut the latter's hair, which has trapped to the school gate. Ren maintained that hair length up to this day.

* KnowYourVines: In Episode 12, Ruri shows the ability to recognize a lot of plants. It appears that her parents are even better in this.

* {{Meganekko}}: [[HeroicSelfDeprecation She won't admit it]], but Botan is a classic example of this, in the same vein as ''Manga/LuckyStar'''s Miyuki Takara.

* MinorLivingAlone: As revealed in episode 5, Ruri lives on her own, as both her parents are working abroad.

* NoSenseOfDirection: Hibiki. Even if her destination's right in front of her, she'll find a way to veer off course. She typically takes three hours just to walk to school from home.
* ObliviouslyBeautiful: Botan is absolutely convinced her [[DiseaseBleach pale skin is sickly]], hair is stringy, and she's overweight. Others point out her skin is like flawless porcelain, has silk hair, and the increasing weight is due to an impressive bust.
* TheOjou: In the first episode Botan leaves what looks like a BigFancyHouse with two maidservants saying goodbye, putting her into this trope.

* OnlySaneMan: [[NotSoAboveItAll Subverted]]. Ruri thinks she is this and for a while that looks to be the case. Then, her longtime love for a construction sign is revealed.

* PerverseSexualLust: InUniverse; Hibari falls in love with a construction safety sign with a cartoony construction worker on it.

* ThePollyanna: Anne maintains a positive attitude despite her bad luck.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Worn by Botan, as fitting for someone who appears to be well-off.

* ShelteredAristocrat: Botan exhibits signs of it on occasion. The most telling are moments when she enjoys spending time with Anne and Ruri, more so than a person normally would. It doesn't matter what she does with them: she just loves having the chance to be there too.

* {{Sleepyhead}}: Ren, who takes every opportunity to nap when she can.

* SpiritedCompetitor: Hibiki. She'll even compete for last place, because that means she's the top of ''something''.

* TheStoic: Ren rarely expresses anything other than a hushed tone.

* ThirdPersonPerson: Hibiki always calls herself "Hibiki." It sounds horribly awkward in English, so Crunchyroll's subtitles forgoes it entirely and has Hibiki speak like a normal person, while Creator/YenPress' (a company quite well-known for being overly literal) translation of the manga retains it, leading to some awkwardly-phrased sentences.

* {{Tsundere}}: Hibiki switches between snippy and reluctant acceptance towards her other four companions. Though for Ren, she does it to hide her feelings.
* UnluckilyLucky: Anne's unluckiness, for the most part, only causes minor inconveniences for her. In real life, it could have been fatal--for example, considering the fact that AnimalsHateHer, and will scratch her when she tries to pet them. Yet she still does it ''for years''.

* VengefulVendingMachine: Hanako can't even buy a drink from a vending machine without something going horribly wrong. No matter what she tries to buy, she'll end up with some kind of weird drink roulette.

* AnimalsHateHim: Anne likes animals. However animals ''don't'' like her back. Sakaki from Manga/AzumangaDaioh would definitely empathize with her situation. Not only ''real'' animals hate him; she has yet been able to pet Timothy, a ''rabbit-shaped robot''.

* {{Motifs}}: {{Four Leaf Clover}}s are everywhere; it's part of the series' logo, they're on the school uniform, Anne uses one as a {{Hair Decoration|s}}, and they're all over the anime's opening and ending. Fitting for a series focused on unfortunate students.

* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Whenever Hibiki creates something arts and crafts related, she tends to produce something that's terror related and creeps out Ruri. Be that as it may, the items have a high quality appearance and hint Hibik as an artistic prodigy.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Hibiki. Even if her destination's right in front of her, she'll find a way to veer off course. She typically takes three hours just to walk school from home.

** Ruri seems to do this a lot, especially around Anne or when she sees ''that'' sign that [[PerverseSexualLust that she crushes on]].

* HiddenDepths: Volume 3 reveals [[spoilers:Class 7 students are average when they enters Tennomifune to the point they were often given the AllOfTheOtherReindeer treatment, but at the eleventh grade some of them starts overtaking the other students in terms of performance.]]
* {{Hikikomori}}: [[spoiler:Tsubaki]] has crippling social anxiety. [[spoiler:The Timothies are the way she attends school without leaving her home.]]

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Class 7 is seen as a detriment to Tennomifune, and there are some who wonder why the academy even bothers to try to help out these unfortunate students.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Timothy appears earlier in the anime than the manga. Hibiki and Ren are also introduced earlier in the anime, so they're present for events they weren't in the manga, such as the hiking field trip in episode 6.

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Kodaira mentioned Class 7 students can play the Russian Roulette in place of the life-sized board game.

* ChickMagnet: {{Exaggerated|trope}} in Ren's case; she can attract females of ''any'' species.

** Anne's mom Sakura, being a Class 7 alumna, has nearly the same level of bad luck as her daughter Anne. So of course is ''so'' used to her daughter's situation:

*** In episode 7, we can see cushions are strategically put all over the house so that ''their'' heads have something to fall on.

* MagicalGirl: The oddly-named Valkyrie class in the Duel Arena, which is strong against Demon-type enemies. Even the costumes the girls end up wearing are all deliberate references to members of the PrettyCure franchise (for example, Anne's looks like Cure Pineapple from FreshPrettyCure, which ''also'' had clovers as {{Motifs}}).

** The entire Valkyrie attack segment in episode 8 is obviously a homage to many ''many'' final battles in the PrettyCure franchise.

''Anne Happy~♪'' (あんハピ♪ /Anhapi♪) is a SliceOfLife comedy series written and drawn by Cocoji, and serialized in Magazine/MangaTimeKirara ''Forward'' since 2013. It is licensed for English-speaking audiences by Yen Press, and an animated adaptation by Creator/SilverLink premiered during the Spring2016Anime season.

* AnimalsHateHim: Anne likes animals. However animals ''don't'' like her back. Sakaki from Manga/AzumangaDaioh would definitely empathize with her situation.

* BunniesForCuteness: {{Invoked|trope}} to make CuteMachines.

* FloralThemeNaming: Anne (apricot, through "An"), Botan (peony), and Ren (Lotus). This also include the cast's family members, such as Anne's mother Sakura (CherryBlossoms) and Botan's sister Sayuri (little lily).

* SnipeHunt: What the extra assignment that Ruri, Anne, and Botan have to complete essentially is, where each of them have to take a picture of a specific "lucky item". Unusual for this case though, the actual "hunt" is a very lighthearted affair, and the items themselves are all things associated with "happiness": a wonderful memory shared with friends, (Ruri's) best smile, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the flower of happiness that blooms at the gate of dawn]]. The latter is the only thing that had a degree of difficulty in finding, as one had to be in a specific place in town at a specific time of day for it to be even seen.

* UnluckilyLucky: Anne's unluckiness, for the most part, only causes minor inconveniences for her. In real life, it could have been fatal.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: There are flashbacks in episode 1 and 9, that reveal Ruri has been ostracized several times in the past. The episode 1 hint occurs when Kodaira-sensei probes Ruri about her misfortune, briefly revealing a real human boy (who might have a connection with the construction sign). The episode 9 flashback shows Ruri is psychologically vulnerable to harsh criticism and withdraws into an emotional shell to avoid further pain.

* NoSenseOfDirection: Hibiki. Even if her destination's right in front of her, she'll find a way to veer off course.
* ObliviouslyBeautiful: Botan is absolutely convinced her pale skin is sickly, hair is stringy, and she's overweight. Others point out her skin is like flawless porcelain, has silk hair, and the increasing weight is due to an impressive bust.

* PluckyGirl: Anne will pet animals no matter how many times they savage her.
