4''Nejimaki Kagyu'' (lit "Wind Up Snail") is a manga by Nakayama Atsushi (also author of ''Manga/{{Uratarou}}''), which was serialized in ''Young Jump'' from June 2010 to April 2014.
5
6It follows the story of a teacher named Negizawa Kamo who long ago made a promise to a {{childhood friend}} that he would become a great teacher and stand up to bullying. Years later he succeeds in becoming an educator but seems to have gained an odd curse of attracting the majority of the female student body who will do ''anything'' to gain his attention, most of which end in violent means. During his first day on the job while trying to get to school, he encounters said childhood friend, Kagyu Jyubee, who has come back from training to enroll in his school and help protect his promise he made.

8However some of Kamo's more dedicated admirers likewise have their own set of skills, and won't let him go without a fight.

10----
11!! ''Nejimaki Kagyu'' has the following tropes:
12
13* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:The Chairman. Even when it looks like he might change his ways, it's just another way to screw with his daughter.]]
14* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: The Morals Committee which threatens to expel Jyubee and have Kamo fired over their supposed "relationship". [[spoiler:Even worse, it's run by another of Kamo's childhood friends.]]
15* AxCrazy: There are some females who ''really'' want Kamo.
16* BerserkButton: Threatening, harming, or trying to separate Jyubee from Kamo. A good way to get on her bad side.
17* BewareTheNiceOnes: Jyubee is incredably nice to everyone and when given the choice would rather not fight, but if you push her BerserkButton its a trip to the hospital for you.
18* BigBad: The Chairman is a complete [[TheSociopath sociopath]] and allows fighting on the basis that its entertaining. Later arcs show just how heinous he can be.
19* BodyHorror: If just about any character except Kamo gets into the sufficient mood, they can twist and turn their bodies and faces into truly horrifying images.
20* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Everyone except Kamo seems to have it.
21* ChickMagnet: Kamo - females just seem attracted to him on sight. Even he doesn't know why this is.
22* ClingyJealousGirl: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Jyubee, most of the time, who has no problem if other girls love and/or get close to Kamo, but every other girl plays the trope straight.
23** Ageha and Tomie even have this towards Jyubee.
24* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The Chairman is ''really'' weird.
25* CuteBruiser: Almost every none extra-manly or extra-creepy girl can be considered one of this.
26* DefeatMeansFriendship: Egu, Tomie, and Ageha each come to see Jyubee as a friend after she defeats, and in two cases saves, them. Infact most of the people Jyubee fights end up becoming her friends.
27* EnemyMine: Egu, Tomie, and Ageha become allies of Jyubee after fights against her. That said, they still hate each other, but hate The Public Morals crew more.
28* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Tomie and Ageha act more smitten with Jyubee than Kamo after befriending her.
29* FacialMarkings: Jyubee has a row of dots underneath both her eyes.
30* {{Gonk}}: Egu the female delinquent.
31* HammerSpace: Tomie once pulled a machete-sized knife from a 4-inch book.
32* HiddenBuxom: Jyubee's {{Sarashi}} keeps her assets from getting in the way of her fights. Once she's taken enough of a beating, you can see how grown she is.
33* JapaneseDelinquents: The first opponent Jyubee faces is one.
34* NightmareFace: Plenty, especially when the tsun- side comes out. [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3DLBerMXUE4/UgpIBKMvS-I/AAAAAAAAokU/d-8OiFiEbV8/017.png?imgmax=2000 Case]] [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8l_Mwdx_BLc/Uhz8HyZJSeI/AAAAAAAAw4U/ATDoY3STVfw/013.png?imgmax=2000 in]] [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IIkyYErlpFs/UqCmPG22UoI/AAAAAAABB8w/gbG_VSY0z_0/017.png?imgmax=2000 point.]] Might as well be called NightmareFace the manga. Though it gets played with in truly dangerous individual actually make a {{Moe}} face when they are at their most dangerous.
35* NonActionGuy: Kamo.
36* NoNameGiven: The Chairman is always referred to as "the Chairman". Nobody seems to know what he's called.
37* ThePowerOfLove: Jyubee's motivation and all around outlook on life. Olufe likes to preach about it as well.
38* PintsizedPowerhouse: Jyubee. [[spoiler:Breaks the blackboard with her finger.]]
39* PsychoLesbian: Olufe is pretty obviously in love with Shino, the Morals Committee's Chairwoman, though given the [[InsaneEqualsViolent setting]] and how calm she is most of the time, maybe she's just a regular lesbian.
40* {{Sarashi}}: Jyubee wears one underneath her clothes.
41* SignatureMove: Jyubee's Nejimaki Zenmai Ken
42* SitcomArchNemesis: Tomei and Ageha fight over Jyubee constantly, but will team up and work well with each other if given a common goal.
43* ShipperOnDeck: Tomei and Ageha both ship Kamo and Jyubee after becoming friends with Jyubee.
44* TeacherStudentRomance: Many of the girls would like this with Kamo, but he's well aware of the ethical issues.
45* TomboyishName: Jyubee is usually a boy's name, which resulted in young Jyubee getting bullied a lot.
46* {{Tsundere}}: Also plenty; there are a lot of cute designs but when they go to Ax-Crazy mode... Yeesh.
47* UnrequitedLove: Olufe's believes that due to several walls between her and Shino the only way to prove her love is to be Self-sacrificing.
48* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Jyubee, but not without justification as many of the girls in her school damn near try to rape Kamo.
49* {{Yandere}}: Quite a few of the girls display a rather unhealthy obsession with the object of their affection.
50* WorldOfBadass: Oh, ''yes''.
