History Manga / IBelongToTheBaddestGirlAtSchool

* HerBoyfriendsJacket: In most of the volume releases, the afterword is accompanied by a drawing of one of the characters wearing their significant other's clothing. These include [[https://imgur.com/A2YXfJ6 Kanade in Fuyuhiko's hoodie and school jacket]] for Volume 1, [[https://imgur.com/TWnsNl0 Fuyuhiko (and his cat) wearing Kanade's tiger jacket]] in Volume 5, [[https://imgur.com/sghn5M8 Matsuri]] and [[https://imgur.com/YR2cbfd Yutaka]] switching uniforms for Volumes 2 and 3, [[https://imgur.com/vVb7msy Aika stealing Fuyuhiko's shirt]] for Volume 4... [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and Tasuku in a girls' uniform]] [[https://imgur.com/lbGQi6u for Volume 6]].

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: With a predominantly female cast including multiple violent delinquents, this was bound to happen. Just look at [[TheChewToy Matsuri]], who suffers AmusingInjuries in almost every chapter she appears in at the start, and any of the rival delinquent girls who only ever show up to get beaten and humiliated by Kanade.

* YourSizeMayVary: There's a subtle example at play with the Toramaru siblings. Due to the wide height gap between them (Kanade is 4'10" while Tasuku is 6'1"), whenever there's a shot of the two of them together, you can expect their heights to be fudged to bring them closer together and make sure they both fit comfortably in frame. Compare [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shes_standing_on_a_box.png this panel,]] where Kanade's head reaches past Tasuku's shoulders, to [[https://twitter.com/ui1059/status/1187344489725059072 this height comparison chart]] where she's only shoulder-height with Fuyuhiko and Matsuri, while Tasuku towers over all three of them.

* OneDialogueTwoConversations: A good chunk of the humor comes from Unoki feeling like he is in a master/servant relationship Kanade while Kanade thinks they are in a loving relationship.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Matsuri and Yutaka have been best friends since they were kids, and have become so close that they practically act like lovers. Especially Matsuri, who claims Yutaka is "hers" just like Kanade does to Fuyuhiko, feels lonely when thinking that she might find a boyfriend, and is physically affectionate to the point where Kanade often grumbles that the two of them spend more time flirting than her and Fuyuhiko. All of this makes things awkward for Yutaka who genuinely is in love with her, with Matsuri's playful behaviour only making her flustered and causing her to worry that she sees the idea of them getting together as one big joke.

In August of 2021, the publisher began uploading [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0zfSjyskgIVjch-HpPnOHhNluPr1c2hE dubbed chapters of the manga]] to their [=YouTube=] channel, with Suzuki Masayuki and Yuka Iwahashi providing the voices for Fuyuhiko and Kanade respectively. That same month, the series would also recieve an official English translation courtesy of One Peace Books.

''I Belong to the Baddest Girl at School'' (or ''Pashiri na Boku to Koisuru Banchou-san'' in the original Japanese, often shortened to ''"[=PashiKoi=]"'') is a RomanticComedy manga by Kashima Ui that ran from December 2017 to January 2021 in the online magazine ''"Young Ace UP"'', and follows the two as they stumble their way through a relationship built on a huge misunderstanding, while developing a genuine bond in spite of it all.

In August of 2021, the publisher released a [[https://youtu.be/R0fQZiBPSzc dubbed version]] of the first chapter onto [=YouTube=], with Suzuki Masayuki and Yuka Iwahashi providing the voices for Fuyuhiko and Kanade respectively.

Except... that's not quite the whole truth. Kanade was actually trying to ask him out, having fallen hopelessly in love with him, and due to the way he's been attending to her every need since then, she's convinced it must have worked and that Fuyuhiko is now her boyfriend. From here, she'd love nothing more than for the two of them to grow even closer and do all the romantic things that couples usually do... which is complicated by her [[MasterOfTheMixedMessage inability to express her feelings clearly]], along with Fuyuhiko's tendency to assume the worst whenever dealing with her.

* AfterSchoolCleaningDuty: In Chapter 7, Fuyuhiko is stuck cleaning up on his own after the classmates who were supposed to be helping him stood him up (again). Thankfully, Kanade and the girls agree to help him out... and as soon as they're done they set off to find and beat up everyone who ditched him, much to his horror.

* CatUpATree: In Chapter 42, Kanade shows up to Fuyuhiko's doorstep covered in cuts and bruises, but refuses to explain why because she thinks it's embarrassing. It's only after he promises not to laugh that she admits it was because she saw a cat stuck up a tree and tried to help it down, [[AnimalsHateHer only for it to attack her]].

* CharacterCheck: As time goes on, Fuyuhiko becomes less afraid of Kanade and starts to enjoy her company, while Kanade gets much better at expressing her feelings in ways that don't come off as threats. The beginning of Chapter 36 has them briefly return to their earlier characterization for a quick gag, with Kanade cornering Fuyuhiko on the school roof after locking the door, making him wonder just how long it's been since she last had him cowering in fear like this.

** In Chapter 72, Miyuki shows her brother a romance manga named ''"Taiga-kun & Usami-chan"''. If [[AnimalThemeNaming the names]] weren't enough of a giveaway, the two panels we see of it are of [[DistaffCounterpart a black-haired boy with cat eyes telling a shy white-haired girl that she belongs to him]].
* DescriptionCut: In Chapter 67, while everyone is filling out career planning questionnaires, Aika tries to start a bet that Kanade will write "Unoki's Wife" on hers. One page later, we see Kanade writing exactly that as her first option with a huge grin on her face.

* DropTheWashtub: In Chapter 59, Tzuka's attempts to [[spoiler: blackmail Kanade after kidnapping Fuyuhiko]] are suddenly interrupted with a falling washtub to the head. As it turns out, [[spoiler: Aika was hiding in the tree branches above her, and wasn't too happy about what she was doing]].

* ExactWords: In Chapter 5, Matsuri interrogates Fuyuhiko to try and find out [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim why Kanade likes him so much]]. When Kanade tells her not to lay a hand on him, she obliges, and holds her ''foot'' up to his chin instead.

* FirstEpisodeTwist: From her introduction at the end of Chapter 3 through most of Chapter 4, all signs seem to be pointing to Matsuri being a sweet-natured RomanticFalseLead for Fuyuhiko... right up until she [[GirlWithPsychoWeapon pulls out a razor blade]] and begins threatening him for getting between her and Kanade, the true target of her affections. Of course, since Matsuri goes on to become a major recurring character after this and her [[StalkerWithACrush obsession with Kanade]] and [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy towards Fuyuhiko]] are two of her most prominent traits, it's basically impossible to talk about her without spoiling the twist.

* TheGhost: Fuyuhiko alludes to having a younger sister as early as Chapter 2, but she doesn't make an onscreen appearence [[UnseenNoMore until Kanade runs into her in Chapter 63]].

** In Chapter 22 Matsuri, who had spent the whole day looking for a way to show up Fuyuhiko, finally gets one over on him on a test of strength machine. Kanade and Yutaka are not impressed and start talking about how unattractive a girl defined purely by her strength is, to which Matsuri retorts the two of them are like that too.
** At the beginning of Chapter 65, Matsuri gets annoyed at Aika for calling a meeting to discuss [[spoiler: how to bring Kanade back to normal]], asking why "Unoki's stalker" gets to be in charge. While no one calls attention to it, considering [[StalkerWithACrush the way she acts around Kanade]], she's the ''last'' person who should be accusing someone else of being a stalker.

** Much of the second half of the series is dedicated to Fuyuhiko trying to work up the courage to confess to Kanade properly after his previous attempt fell flat. Unfortunately, every time it seems like he'll get the opportunity to do so, [[YankTheDogsChain something or someone will always come along to ruin it]]. [[spoiler: Even so, he finally gets his chance in Chapter 75 when, following his most recent failed attempt, Yutaka picks him up and ''throws him'' into Kanade's arms]].
* LoveConfessor: In Chapter 25, after Fuyuhiko sees Yutaka has a photo of Matsuri as her phone's wallpaper, she pulls him aside to try and explain that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial it DEFINITELY doesn't mean she's in love with her]], but quickly gives up, admits that's exactly the case, and airs out all her feelings for her to him.

** This happens out of the blue in Chapter 54 when Fuyuhiko's mom shows up to bring him his lunch while he's alone with Kanade. Though Kanade is nervous the whole time, desperately trying to make a good first impression and prevent her from finding out she's a delinquent, she turns out to be very supportive of their relationship.
** [[spoiler: Fuyuhiko's date with Kanade in Chapter 73 is brought to a screeching halt when her mother shows up, demanding she return home immediately. What follows is a very uncomfortable car ride, with the two of them silently sat in the back listening to her voice her disapproval of their relationship]].

* MinimalistCast: The series introduced a grand total of five named characters in its first eleven chapters[[note]]Six if you count Kanade the cat, and seven if you count Tzuka, who appeared briefly in the first chapter but wouldn't reappear or be given a name until much later[[/note]], then took until Chapter 33 to add another. Even though more characters were gradually introduced after that, by the end of the series there were still only eleven with a role greater than a bit part.
* MissedHimByThatMuch: Miyuki doesn't realise the mysterious high school girl who saved her from bullies has also been showing up at her door every school day to meet up with her brother. Best illustrated at the start of Chapter 67, where Fuyuhiko walks right by Miyuki watching TV on his way out of the house, where Kanade is waiting to brag about her most recent fight.

** A flashback to Matsuri and Yutaka's middle school days in Chapter 69 shows the former used to be a head taller. However, Yutaka has gone through [[IGotBigger a huge growth spurt]] since then, surpassing Matsuri in height, though the difference is now only half a head.

** In Chapters 67 to 69, [[spoiler: Yutaka confesses her feelings to Matsuri, but runs off before she can give an answer. Fortunately, Matsuri is able to track her down and tell her she'd be happy to be her girlfriend]].

* SleepCute: In Chapter 18, Fuyuhiko finds Kanade taking a nap on the school roof and wakes her up to give her her lunch. The moment she's finished eating, she goes right back to sleep on his shoulder.

** The misunderstandings grow even worse in Chapter 26 when [[spoiler: Matsuri becomes convinced that Yutaka is in love with Fuyuhiko despite her protests to the contrary]].

** In Chapter 42, Aika knocks him out with a quick chop to the back of the neck and drags him into a secluded room [[spoiler: to ask him what he really thinks of Kanade]]. She reassures him he has nothing to worry about beforehand; if she messes it up, the worst it could do is [[FalseReassurance kill him]].

* UmbrellaOfTogetherness: In Chapter 10, it's raining and while Fuyuhiko brought an umbrella, Kanade did not. Both of them insist that the other take it, as neither of them want the other to get wet. Yutaka points out the easiest solution would be to share it, and Kanade, recognizing the romantic connotations, silently thanks her.

* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: An odd example - the characters in question have mutual feelings for each other, but thanks to a series of miscommunications, one of them assumes the other doesn't reciprocate. At the start of the series Kanade starts dating Fuyuhiko, but because of the former's terrible attempts at flirting and the latter's past trauma, he assumes she only wants him around as her personal errand boy. [[spoiler: Come Chapter 45, Kanade realises that Fuyuhiko never saw her as his girlfriend and resolves to find a way to win his love... oblivious to the fact that Fuyuhiko has had feelings for her for a long time now, but is too shy to give her a proper LoveConfession]].

* AnimalMotifs: Each of the five main students are themed after a different animal in the EasternZodiac, with [[BunniesForCuteness Fuyuhiko]] and [[PantheraAwesome Kanade]] sharing their theming with the rest of their families. Each of the volume releases includes a SuperDeformed drawing of one of the characters [[LittleBitBeastly with features from their associated animal]] on the inside cover, all of which can be seen on the [[Characters/TheErrandBoyAndTheDelinquentLeaderInLove Characters page]].
