"That makes you a student, and we don't allow transfers. You're either leaving with a diploma or in a body bag. Welcome to Overlord Academy."
Overlord Academy
is a weekly webcomic about an oboist who accidentally transfers into a school for evil overlords.
This webcomic provides examples of the following tropes:
- Aerith and Bob: Arthur the Naïve Newcomer meets Hiro, Thaelia, Nobara, and... Kevin
- Berserk Button: Thae definitely has one when it comes to Hiro.

- Crash-Into Hello: A-san and Kevin's
first meeting - Cute Bruiser: Nova
