History Manga / YuruYuri

* CatSmile: A few characters display one occasionally, usually Kyouko or Chinatsu.

** Season 2 Episode 7 features a "[[UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation 3}} Popy Ph3]]" video game console running "[[VideoGame/DragonQuest Nanamori Quest II]]".

** Nachuyachumi+02 features extremely faithful recreations of ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]''.

* OneGenderSchool: Nanamori Middle School is an all-girls school. This ''is'' a GirlsLove series, after all.

* {{Iyashikei}}: The Doga Kobo seasons were characters by manic comedy and slapstick, but once production shifted to [=TYO=] Animations the pace and atmosphere slowed down to focus on the girls enjoying a relaxing summer break together. The atmosphere could be summed up as really ''really'' mellow. It aims for a much more relaxed type of funny compared to the shenanigans present in the Doga Kobo seasons.

* ChromosomeCasting: A female example.

* CountingSheep: Yui and Kyouko do this in one of the {{Image Song}}s.

* ''Ohmuro-ke: Dear Sisters'' & ''Ohmuro-ke: Dear Friends'': Adapted by Creator/Passione and Studio Lings and airing in 2024. Two 40-minute films adapting the spin-off manga ''Ohmuro-ke''.

''[=YuruYuri=]'' (aka ''Happy Go Lily'' aka ''Lazy Lily'') is a SliceOfLife comedy manga written and illustrated by Creator/{{Namori}}.

It has so far created ''four'' spin-offs: ''[=YuriYuri=]'', a one-shot anthology focused on much more serious lesbian romance; ''Risetto!!'', set in the same school but focusing on a pair of freshmen trying to make a {{doujin}} game; ''Ohmuro-ke'', a series of web comics released after each episode of Season 2, which focus on the lives of the eponymous Ohmuro sisters; and ''Touzainanboku!'', a prequel focusing on Nanamori Middle School's four teachers in their high school days.

In celebration of the manga's 10th anniversary, the anime got an extra OAD.

* SenpaiKohai: Chinatsu refers to Yui (and Kyoko) as "senpai".

* WoundedGazelleGambit: In chapter 199, when Kyouko is trying to find her friends while blindfolded, she pretends to bash her leg on a table and go down in pain.

After finding the keys to the disbanded Tea Ceremony Club's club room, [[GenkiGirl Kyouko Toshinou]] forms the Amusement Club, roping in her {{childhood friend|s}} [[TheStoic Yui Funami]]. When the severely OutOfFocus [[ButtMonkey Akari Akaza]] and CuteAndPsycho [[{{Yandere}} Chinatsu Yoshikawa]] start their first year and join the club, a FourGirlEnsemble is born. With the lazy, free-for-all antics of the ''unofficial'' club happening behind-the-scenes, [[StudentCouncilPresident student council vice-president]] [[{{Tsundere}} Ayano Sugiura]] and her best friend [[YuriFangirl Chitose Ikeda]] become involved, naturally pulling their juniors [[BelligerentSexualTension Himawari Furutani and Sakurako Ohmuro]] with them headlong into the Amusement Club's silliness.

Taking advantage of the disbanded Tea Ceremony Club's abandoned building, [[GenkiGirl Kyouko Toshinou]] forms the Amusement Club, roping in her {{childhood friend|s}} [[TheStoic Yui Funami]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6vCdFriZbY This clip here]] is a pretty standout example. It should be noted that while the pronunciation is bad, the actual dialogue is pretty much in [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish perfect English]].

** As a RunningGag, Sakurako always goes jelly upon seeing Himawari's [[GagBoobs impressive chest]] (and, on one occasion, Akari and Chinatsu going into a HeroicBSOD).

* BustContrastDuo: The BelligerentSexualTension StudentCouncil Duo [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} Sakurako]] and [[GagBoobs Himawari]] are always together and while {{Tsundere}} toward each other and Sakurako is prone to fights they are actually [[LesYay more than]] great friends. (which is not lost on the rest of the cast)

** In chapter 12 of [[SpinOff Ohmuro-ke]], Sakurako tries to give Hanako the P.E. shirt that Himawari [[GagBoobs stretched out]] in chapter 9 of ''[=YuruYuri=]''.

* FracturedFairyTale: The second half of Season 2 Episode 12 is basically the main girls' SchoolPlay take on ''Literature/SnowWhite''... complete with their eccentricities taking the bulk of the tale, starring Kyouko as an ExtremeOmnivore Snow White, Nana and Rise as the evil queen and the (barely audible) magic mirror, respectively, Chizuru as the {{BFG}}-[[GunsAkimbo wielding]] huntsman (allowing her to project her animosity to Kyouko, triggered when Kyoko theatrically pleaded for her life), and Seven Elves portrayed by Ayano ({{Tsundere}}), Chitose ([[NerdGlasses Glasses]]), Yui ([[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine Retorting]]), Chinatsu ([[CuteAndPsycho Evil]]), Himawari ([[GagBoobs Boob]]), Sakurako ([[TheDitz Stupid]]) and Akari ([[TheGenericGuy Remarkably Unremarkable]]). The poisoned apple was turned into a tomato (associated with Kyouko after [[CallBack she wore a tomato-themed pajama during last season's finale]]), and Yui also doubled as the PrinceCharming.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Season 2, episode 10 opens the same way season 1, episode 10 did, up to the point Sakurako interrupts the scene and yells that she wants to go on a trip too. In-universe, it's just a random outburst that Himawari witnessed.
