3	''Hai Step Jun'' is a comedic {{Shojo}} manga written by Yasuichi Ōshima in 1985, later adapted into an anime of 45 episodes and produced by Creator/ToeiAnimation.
4
5	The main character is a junior high student named Jun, a brilliant ChildProdigy who can create her own inventions. She falls in love with a much taller and older bad boy named Rei Kano (nicknamed Zero) who is a bit BookDumb and only cares about motorbikes. While a relationship between them appears to be impossible, the two find a connection due to their common interest in mechanics.

7	The manga was only published in Japan, while the anime version was also broadcast in some European countries and is also known as ''Vas-y Julie!'' (France), ''Juny Peperina Inventatutto'' (Italy), ''Los Inventos de Eva'' (Spain), and ''Step Jun'' (Greece).
8	----
9	!! The series provides examples of:
10	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Jun's crush on rebellious biker Zero. Although Zero is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he has a strong bad boy appeal.
11	* BookDumb: Zero gets poor grades and frequently skips classes.
12	* CoolOldLady: Zero's energetic grandmother, who is very fond of Jun.
13	* {{Expy}}: Jun looks like a redheaded [[Manga/DoctorSlump Arale]]. Other than that, they are both bubbly and innocent child prodigies who are GoodWithNumbers and have a strong association with robots and inventions (Jun is an inventor who creates robots, Arale is a robot created by an inventor).
14	* GadgeteerGenius: Jun spends most of her time building robots and all kinds of gadgets, often just for fun.
15	* HeightAngst: Jun has this due to being much shorter than her classmates.
16	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Zero is considerably bigger than Jun.
17	* InnocentProdigy: Despite Jun's great intelligence, she can be immature, childish, and even clumsy on occasion. She has some KiddieKid tendencies in both appearance and personality.
18	* OlderThanTheyLook: Jun looks like a little girl, but according to the Japanese wiki, she is 14 and known for being very short. This works better, considering her ShipTease with a visibly older boy.
19	* OppositesAttract: Short BookSmart Jun and tall BookDumb Zero. It's implied Zero likes her back.
20	* RobotBuddy: Yukinosuke, a male robot created by Jun herself. A female robot will be created later.
21	* ShorterMeansSmarter: Jun is a tiny girl and a ChildProdigy who is much smarter than her LoveInterest and all her taller classmates.
22	* TeenGenius: While she looks younger, Jun is actually 14, so she qualifies as a teenage prodigy and exceptional GadgeteerGenius.
