Tanaka-kun is always listless...
...
...
...What, did you want to learn more?
A SliceOfLife manga by Nozomi Uda, ''Tanaka-kun is Always Listless'' (''Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge'', 田中くんはいつもけだるげ) follows the life of an incredibly lethargic boy named Tanaka and his friend Ohta, a reliable straight-laced student who's made a habit of making sure Tanaka can get by living his day-to-day life despite his near-Zen levels of laziness and excessive sleepiness.
His almost too-peaceful life is disturbed, however, when people begin to barge into it bringing the ghastly concepts of ''involvement'' and ''excitement'' and somehow or another, ''friendship.''
Was adapted to anime for the [[Main/Spring2016Anime Spring 2016 season]] by studio Creator/SilverLink It's available for [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/tanaka-kun-is-always-listless streaming]] on Website/{{Crunchyroll}} and later a dub from Creator/SentaiFilmworks.

!!Tropes:
* AdaptationExpansion: The anime is already shown to add more flavor to many of the scenarios featured in the manga, sometimes even upping the ShipTease, such as between the likes of Ohta and Tanaka in episode 1 when Ohta muses that Tanaka has "breathtakingly beautiful listlessness" after he's splashed by water, which doesn't seem to be his wording in the manga; or Ohta and Echizen in Episode 10 when he compliments her yukata (resulting in her getting flustered), something that doesn't happen in the manga.
* AdrenalineMakeover: Inverted with Miyano in one sketch, wherein her anxiety actually turns her into the listless, mature-seeming young woman she dreams of becoming.
* AffectionateNickname: Miyano calls Echizen "Ecchan," who in turn calls her "Myaano" (みゃーの, elongating "mya").
* {{Blackmail}}: What Tanaka threatens ''the gods'' with in order to maintain his peaceful, lethargic life. Hilariously, the more he attempts this, the more exciting his life becomes.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: The manga does this, usually to commemorate a big event like the anime announcement or a serialization anniversary.
* ChildhoodFriends: Echizen and Ohta. Though their past isn't yet elaborated on, they were apparently pretty close as kids and hung around each other's homes all the time before eventually drifting apart. It's claimed that the two were once part of a gang together (at least, according to the former).
* ContrivedCoincidence: As it turns out, Tanaka and Ohta's younger sisters are also best friends with each other.
** Myano's younger brother has a crush on Tanaka's younger sister, and also views Tanaka as his master.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: This series is about a boy named Tanaka who's always listless.
* FaceOfAThug: Ohta and Echizen's scary looks when Echizen tells Tanaka they used to be in the same gang together in episode 3 gets a callback at the end of the episode when a police officer genuinely suspects that they're extorting Tanaka. In reality they're both very nice, regardless of how much Echizen is loathe to admit it.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: While Tanaka isn't foolish per say, he is very [[LazyBum lazy]], leaving Rino to do much of the housework.
* GenderReveal: Despite Tanaka and Ohta's imagining a vague male figure in the anime (in the manga the figure is more ambiguously drawn), [[spoiler:Miyano's "crush" turns out to be on Echizen.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Ohta and Tanaka.
* JustTheWayYouAre: Miyano wants to change herself into a listless, mature woman for her "most important person", but Tanaka bluntly destroys her dreams by telling her she's too hard-working for that and is better off as she is. She still wants to try, even though said person and her are already in a pretty stable relationship, give or take.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Word-for-word, this is Tanaka's picture of his relationship with Ohta and the apparent reason for its stability.
* LoveDodecahedron: Oh boy. Shiraishi likes Tanaka, who's interested in girls but is [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple more comfortable being catered to]] by [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide Ohta]] than pursuing romance. Tanaka's sister, Rino, [[BigBrotherAttraction loves her brother maybe a bit too much]] and sees Ohta as her [[UnknownRival rival]]. Miyano's [[BigLittleBrother brother]] Sora has a crush on Rino, who [[AllLoveIsUnrequited does not reciprocate]]. Miyano herself is [[OfficialCouple dating]] Echizen, who seems to also have hidden feelings for [[ChildhoodFriends Ohta]].
* OneSteveLimit: In-universe in chapter 25 when Katou and Shimura's soccer captain ask them to have Tanaka act as his sub...[[spoiler: only to find out that the rest of the club members had assumed that their captain was talking about a Tanaka in their class as well. As it turns out, there are a lot of students with the surname Tanaka in their school.]]
* OnlyOneName: Barring Rino and Saya, who have first names to differentiate them from their brothers, every named character is only known by their surname.
** With the introduction of Miyano's younger brother, Sora, it would appear that only younger siblings will be granted names in this series.
* PaperThinDisguise: Tanaka covers his face with a hoodie and, at Myano's insistence, pretends to be a party-loving guy named Shidou-san to avoid conversation with Myano's brother.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Miyano and Echizen's dynamic, more or less. The crux of their relationship revolves around Echizen's (borderline-obsessive) [[CutenessProximity weakness for cute things]] leading her to cuddle [[{{Moe}} Miyano]] like a child; whereas Miyano idolizes Echizen as the "ideal woman" she aspires to be. The LesYay vibes are there (mainly coming from Miyano's end), and [[spoiler:they even become something of an OfficialCouple by later going out on dates together, but their dynamic curiously remains centered on non-romantic displays of affection, to the point of making it hard to accurately describe the scope of their pairing as either ChastityCouple SchoolGirlLesbians or PlatonicLifePartners.]]
* SailorFuku: Rino and Saya's uniforms.
* SceneryPorn: The show has a very well designed school and town.
* SchoolFestival: Episode 11 revolves around one in which Tanaka's class hosts a haunted house.
* ShipTease: Shiraishi and Tanaka get more as the series continue. With Shiraishi becoming the only person to motivate Tanaka to do anything.
* SweetTooth: Ohta seems to have a life philosophy catering to his, and Miyano and Echizen are similarly fond.
* ThinkerPose: In Sora's introductory chapter, he does this on a park bench after confessing his love to Rino and got rejected. Tanaka, who was passing by, immediately lampshades this.
* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Echizen in regards to her interactions with Ohta and Tanaka, but ''especially'' Ohta. For example, in chapter 39, while the two of them are discussing the possibility of Tanaka having a girlfriend, she immediately reads the atmosphere like he's about to ask her out too, making her blush. As it turns out, he only wants to carry her around like a "replacement Tanaka"... and she angrily responds by [[EyePoke poking him]] in the eyes.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Shimura and Kato.
* ToastOfTardiness: Shows up in episode four with Tanaka chewing on a piece of bread...as Ohta carries him to class
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Echizen and Miyano.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Tanaka and Rino look so much alike that Ohta and Saya mistake them for each others' doppelganger.
