4''Morita-san Wa Mukuchi'' ("Morita-san Is Quiet") is a Japanese four-panel comic strip manga written and illustrated by Tae Sano. It's about Mayu Morita, a high school girl who is extremely reticent. Her silence and habit of looking at people's eyes straightly sometimes cause misunderstandings. The reason behind it is not because she doesn’t like to talk nor because she has nothing to say. The reason she rarely speaks is due to the fact she thinks too much before speaking, thus losing the timing to speak altogether. She lives a happy school life with her classmates.

6The manga was originally published in the March 2007 issue of Takeshobo's Manga Life magazine, and later moved to Takeshobo's Manga Life Momo and Manga Club magazines. The first tankobon volume was released in January 2009; as of February 2011, three volume have been published. An OriginalVideoAnimation was bundled with volume three of the manga in February 2011, and another OVA was released separately in March 2011. A TV anime series produced by Studio Gram (the same as the [=OVAs=]) began airing in Japan in July 2011. The first season ended in September 2011, but the second season immediately started in October 2011.

9!!Tropes:
10
11%% * AlliterativeName: Mayu Morita and Miki Murakoshi.
12%% * TheCameo: Atsumi and Atsushi from ''Manga/RecorderAndRandsell'' walk past in the final episode. Mayu and Hana return the favor in the first episode of their show.
13%% * CargoEnvy: Kouta in the OVA said he wanted to be reincarnated as SchoolSwimsuit.
14%% * ChildhoodFriends: Mayu and Miki
15%% * CrossPoppingVeins: Mayu's mother often gets these over Morita's father.
16* DudeNotFunny: Deliberately invoked in-story by Hana as a RunningJoke. In episode 16, when Miki and Chihiro joke about magazines with stories about broken homes.
17-->'''Hana:''' I see those stories play out in my house every day.
18%% * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Hana exemplifies the trope whenever something reminds her of home.
19%% * EvenTheGirlsWantHer:
20 %% * Yamamoto is very popular with the female student body.
21 %% * Megane for Mayu.
22%% * {{Fanservice}}: Maybe the pool episode counts as such.

28* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Kouta and Ryuichi certainly think so, to the point that Kouta wants to be reincarnated as a girl.
29* GratuitousFrench: There's a cookbook that's titled "Le plat qui est amoureux", which means "the dish which is in love"; maybe it was supposed to be "The Lovely Dish"?
30%% * HappilyMarried: Morita's parents. The secret seems to be zealously making up after jealous fights.
31%% * HeroicMime: Mayu
32%%* {{Iyashikei}}: Both seasons OP lyrics exemplify this.
