History Manga / Hyakko

%%* BlindingBangs -- Inori.

* ShrinkingViolet -- Inori, right down to [[BlindingBangs the hair covering the eyes]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: For a 12-episodes anime, there's certainly a large cast.
** The title page for Chapter 40 has pictures of all the students in class 1-6 -- 40 of them -- and then, throughout the chapter, the family name of any class member who's shown is displayed (including the ones we already knew) ... and there's a class discussion going on, so just about everybody is shown. If it doesn't put names to ''all'' 40 students, it certainly comes close.

%%* GadgeteerGenius -- Chie, also the {{meganekko}}.

* {{Mondegreen}} -- Ushio's karaoke session is rendered as a string of nonsense language when she's really singing out the Zodiac, which is relevant to the show's ThemeNaming.

%%* BadassMustache: The principal.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys -- A minor female character is [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/hyakko/v06/c037/7.html strongly attracted to Kitsune]], practically drooling over the evil/treacherous aspects of his character.

* ArtEvolution: Quite a bit. Just look at Ayumi [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/hyakko/v01/c001/27.html in the]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/hyakko/v01/c001/1.html first]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/hyakko/v01/c001/6.html chapter]], and then again [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/hyakko/v04/c030/1.html 29 chapters]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/hyakko/v04/c030/7.html later]].

* BlankWhiteEyes -- Hitsugi, a lot, although it doesn't necessarily show her emotional state: at least once she's had Blank White Eyes [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/hyakko/v07/c041/5.html while smiling cheerfully]].

* EroticEating -- Somehow, Ayumi invoked this trope for Torako. With noodles. Also, [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/hyakko/v04/c029/19.html Torako with a chocolate-covered banana on a stick]] while at a festival, in chapter 29. The resulting {{Nosebleed}}s are particularly grand; Nene gushes blood, while Shishimaru passes out from blood loss. Nene immediately suggests they go for hot dogs later...

%%* GadgeteerGenius -- Chie, also the [[{{Meganekko}} meganekko]].

* HotForTeacher -- [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/hyakko/v07/c041/32.html Torako seems suspiciously glad to run into Amagasa-sensei during the Halloween festival. Shishimaru certainly thinks so]].

%%* {{Odango Hair}} -- Suzume.

** In chapter 41, the school's Halloween-themed culture festival is full of {{Shout Out}}s to anime, manga, games, movies, and TV shows given that everyone's in some kind of costume. Franchise/SpiderMan, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Angels]], [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Marisa]], VideoGame/MegaMan, [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan Aensland]], and [[Manga/TwentiethCenturyBoys Friend]], to name just a few.

* BiTheWay -- Nene. She casually reveals it...while inspecting Ayumi's panties. She is more of a [[SchoolgirlLesbians schoolgirl lesbian]] though, since she focuses way more on girls than on guys, though this is more of her being shown around the main cast more. She only finally gets to perv on a guy when Kumahiko is introduced later on.

** As seen in her ADayInTheLimelight episode, Inori doesn't merely share the creepy looks with another well-known [[TheRing Sadako]] [[Manga/KimiNiTodoke look-alike]], but also her personality and hang-ups.

Is currently on hiatus due to Haruaki Katoh currently working on ''Manga/AbnormalKeiJoshi'' under the alias Juichi Sanada

* OrphanedSeries -- Might be this seeing as Haruaki Katoh is working on ''Manga/AbnormalKeiJoshi'' and there hasn't been a new chapter of the manga since 2013

%%* {{Dojikko}} -- Minato.

* KaraokeBox

* BadassMustache: The principal.

* BerserkButton -- Tatsuki does not like being ignored.

* BigEater -- Suzume.
* BishieSparkle -- Kageyama Oniyuri[[spoiler:'s legs]].

* BlindingBangs -- Inori.
* BlindWithoutEm -- Chie.

* CheerfulChild, TeenGenius, TokenMiniMoe -- Hitsugi, who fills all of these roles at once.
* ChewingTheScenery -- Nene has her moments.

* DarkSkinnedBlond -- Minato.

* {{Dojikko}} -- Minato.
* ElevatorSchool

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins -- The school mascot.
* ExpressiveHair -- Suzume's {{odango}}.

* GadgeteerGenius -- Chie, also the [[{{Meganekko}} meganekko]].
* GenkiGirl -- Torako, by far.
* HollywoodTonedeaf -- Torako and Ushio. Oh. My. God!
* HonestJohnsDealership -- Koma.

* HugeSchoolGirl -- Minato.

* LovableSexManiac -- Nene.
* MagicSkirt
* MaleGaze -- This is a {{seinen}} series after all.

* NoseBleed -- Nene is susceptible to these when she gets a cute girl overload.

* {{Odango Hair}} -- Suzume.

* RobotMe -- Mecha-Torako, Torako's stand-in.
** Also, Mecha-Suzume.

* SceneryPorn

* SliceOfLife

* WackyHomeroom
* WholeEpisodeFlashback

* SeriousBusiness -- Student Council President elections in volume 5 of the manga. Threats, attacks, information brokering, backstabbing and politicking... One would almost think the candidates involved were jockeying for control of a criminal organization, not a student council.

** In chapter 41, the school's Halloween-themed culture festival is full of {{Shout Out}}s to anime, manga, games, movies, and TV shows given that everyone's in some kind of costume. Franchise/SpiderMan, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Angels]], [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Marisa]], VideoGame/MegaMan, [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan Aensland]], and [[TwentiethCenturyBoys Friend]], to name just a few.

** As seen in her ADayInTheLimelight episode, Inori doesn't merely share the creepy looks with another well-known [[TheRing Sadako]] [[KimiNiTodoke look-alike]], but also her personality and hang-ups.

* ThemeNaming -- All major female players have the kanji for one of the twelve animals of the Zodiac in their names. The lead four relate to TheFourGods.

* {{Expy}} -- Koma has an uncanny resemblance to Tamami from ''ChocottoSister''.

** Torako starts dropping references to ''UshioAndTora'' once she learns Ushio's name.

* StringyHairedGhostGirl -- Inori unintentionally gives off a ''[[TheRing Sadako]]'' vibe.

* {{Sensei-Chan}}: Gender-flipped, Amagasa-sensei is very informal with his students, and has met Torako on occasion while online gaming. Torako feels no compunctions playing with his hair, even.

* OrphanedSeries -- Might be this seeing as Haruaki Katou working on ''Manga/AbnormalKeiJoshi'' and there hasn't been a new chapter of the manga since 2013

* OrphanedSeries -- Seems to be this with Haruaki Katou working on ''Manga/AbnormalKeiJoushi'' and there hasn't been a new chapter of the manga since 2013
