Flunk Punk Rumble/Characters

Characters for the Flunk Punk Rumble / Yankee Kun to Megane Chan manga include:

Hana Adachi
The female protagonist and  Student Council President

"Didn't she just want to "fwap" our shirts open?!"
 * Badass Adorable: Feared as one tough S.O.B. during middle school but is also a really Nice Girl.
 * Beauty Mark: That Shinagawa didn't notice that she and the girl he loves have the same one right at the same place is amazing. Or maybe he did, but not consciously. That would explain a lot.
 * Beautiful All Along: When the glasses are off, it's equal amounts of Badass & pretty.
 * Book Dumb: Though in fairness, she's very hardworking and can kick some serious butt.
 * Class Representative: Subverted hard. Sure, Adachi looks like a class rep, but she is totally intellectually inept, with her grades even lower than Shinagawa's.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Thanks to No Social Skills and extreme ditzyness.
 * Covert Pervert: When looking for a male student with a mole in his chest, she was extremely quick and eager to open the shirts of Shinagawa, Izumi, and Chiba. It's even lampshaded:


 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
 * Delinquent: She was this in junior high.
 * The Ditz: Adachi Hana can be described as a Ditz at best and an idiot at worst, despite what she looks like.
 * Extracurricular Enthusiast: Provides the page picture.
 * Five-Man Band: The Big Guy
 * Genki Girl
 * Idiot Hair
 * Idiot Heroine
 * Meganekko: Subverted, in her characterization and by the fact that she does not need them. She actually has the best eyesight out of the entire cast.
 * Purely Aesthetic Glasses: She wears glasses (and braided pigtails) only to appear more bookish, while actually having perfect eyesight. It goes so far as swimming with the glasses on.
 * Student Council President
 * Too Dumb to Fool
 * Too Dumb to Fool

Daichi Shinagawa
Our male protagonist and  Student Council Co-Vice President.


 * Badass Normal
 * Captain Oblivious: Completely unable to recognize Hana as the girl he fell in love with at the entry exam and the one who.
 * Chick Magnet: Complete with a Token Mini-Moe. This dude has had every named female character, save one or two, fall for him.
 * Delinquent: The titular "Yankee-kun".
 * The Drag Along: Much of the fun in earlier volumes comes from Shinagawa reluctantly complying with Hana and co.'s shenaningans. * Five-Man Band: The Hero
 * Idiot Hero: Subverted in his backstory..
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Actually a nice guy underneath the rough exterior, especially towards Hana though he goes tsuntsun most times with her.
 * Also results in everyone else
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: It's implied that Shinagawa was actually a brilliant student in the Bonus strip. In chapters 150 and 151,.
 * Tsundere: Interesting in that he relatively quickly admits that he is fond of Hana and the Student Council.

Seiya Chiba
Student Council Treasurer. Used to be a major Hikikomori before Shinagawa and Adachi convinced him to come back to school to keep his grades up. Since then he stayed with them and is grateful that they consider him a friend. Although he's often thought to be a delinquent because of his eyes he's actually just a very shy young man that wants to make some ordinary friends.


 * Covert Pervert: Most of the time he's the Straight Man, until you bait him with series of big boobs. Happens again with the Hot Spring scene.
 * Face of a Thug: His normal expression apparently looks like an angry glare to most people, who naturally assume him to be a Delinquent.
 * Five-Man Band: The Smart Guy
 * Hikikomori
 * Only Sane Man
 * Stoic Spectacles: Complete with long hair!

Rinka Himeji
Student Council Secretary. Used to be Adachi's "right hand man" in middle school and nicknamed 'The Bloody Pantheress.'


 * Chickification: She was introduced as Adachi's former right-hand-woman, who had a fairly strong reputation as a fighter. By Chapter 55, she doesn't even seem capable of taking on a couple of Mooks. She gets more and more girly; always cleaning some mess with her broom, interested in makeup and clothes and generally coming as the weakest member of the gang, even behind Chiba, since nobody is taking her seriously. Jokingly acknowledged in chapter 119 when she attempts to invoke an Expository Hairstyle Change.
 * Delinquent
 * Five-Man Band: The Chick
 * Informed Ability: Despite her position and nickname, she's never actually seen fighting.
 * Large Ham: Though she quiets down after a few chapters.
 * Moe: In-universe. She seems to have a Dojikko reputation. Her small size does not help either. She even got a chapter cover as a clumsy Meido.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Grade B

Gaku Izumi
Student Council Co-Vice President. Second highest grades and second strongest fighter.


 * Badass Bookworm
 * Five-Man Band: The Lancer
 * Jack of All Stats: No matter how hard he tries he's always second to Chiba in grade and Hana in strength.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Appears cold on the outside and frequently squabbles with Shinagawa but he once quit the Student Council so that they wouldn't have to get caught up in his mess.
 * Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Anything he writes.

Akita Hikaru
One year older than the main cast, Akita is the former president of the Student Council. He's usually an easygoing, peaceful and laid back person. Just never ever call him a girl, or simply say the word when he's around.


 * Ax Crazy: Would attack anyone in berserk mode,.
 * Berserk Button: Being called a girl. Or believing someone called him a girl.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: You would never believe he can effortlessly curb-stomp Shinagawa and Izumi both at the same time.
 * The Dreaded: For Shinagawa and Izumi. He's probably the sole person they're genuinely scared of.
 * Eyes Always Shut: However, when you push his Berserk Button...
 * Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Evil eyes when in berserk mode.
 * Groin Attack: The usual way to put him back to his normal self. Has to be performed by a girl to actually work. Hmmm...
 * Iconic Item: Akita is rarely seen without a fan (he actually collects them). When he drops it, you'd better flee.
 * Nice Guy: Akita is the nicest guy in the world most of the time.
 * Not a Morning Person: He was so often late at school that it almost made him double his 3rd year.
 * Sempai-Kohai: Akita sometimes shamelessly exploits this towards the new student council.
 * Slasher Smile: When you pushed his Berserk Button.
 * Student Council President: Before Hana.
 * Twisting the Words: More than once, he went berserk while the conversation was really about a girl and not at all about him.
