Flunk Punk Rumble: Difference between revisions

It was originally just a three part short story published in Kodansha's Weekly [[Shounen]] Magazine. These chapters are named "Stand", "Bow", and "Sit". Eventually, it turned into a regular manga, with the story continuing from the original three chapters; therefore, its first chapter is actually the fourth chapter. By the way that this manga is drawn, it looks like it would make a great anime series, but got a [[Live Action Adaptation]] instead.

* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: Though not your typical definition of "powerful".

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: The current student council, the previous one, and the one from the rival school have mostly been composed of people who can kick serious ass when needed.

** This is definitely the case with the two groups who ran for the new student council.

* [[Badass]]

* [[Bad Bad Acting]]: Komaki Howari (turned into a [[Large Ham]] after proper training from the student council).

** For some reason, people only realize who Adachi truly is (and run away as fast as possible) when her glasses come off.

** Subverted ''and'' played straight in {{spoiler|Chapter 32: Noda recognizes Shinagawa's disguise in Adachi's glasses right away but the older baseball club members and Adachi herself are fooled}}.

** And he ''also'' doesn't {{spoiler|recognize Adachi to be the girl who gave him the scar on his face after beating him in a fight. After he lost, he even made a promise with her to get back his glasses when he can beat her one day.}}

* [[Continuity Nod]]: By chapter 112, Shinagawa is still playing that MMORPG in the computer club room.

** The cute little girl Mako-tan who keeps messing with Shinagawa in the MMORPG he plays? She's '' {{spoiler|Kitami's}}'' younger sister. She pops up when they visit his place.

** {{spoiler|Shinagawa's childhood friend Nerima is one of Ageha's Big Four.}}

* [[Fan Service]]: While there are some not-so-blatant examples, there usually is not so much of this. It does happen, but pales compared to...

* [[Fan Disservice]]: Especially when Nerima's flirting around.

* [[Five-Man Band]]: Humorously constructed in the student council, with Adachi as [[The Hero]], Shinagawa, Izumi and Rinka as a troika of [[The Lancer|lancers]], and Chiba checking in as [[The Big Guy]], [[The Smart Guy]] AND [[The Chick]]. Later becomes Shinigawa as [[The Hero]], Izumi as [[The Lancer]], Adachi as [[The Big Guy]], Rinka as [[The Chick]], and Chiba as [[The Smart Guy]].

* [[Flock of Wolves]]: The student council, {{spoiler|this year, and apparently every other year as well}}.

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Every male in Izumi's immediate family.

* [[I See London]]: Izumi catches a peek at Himeji's undies in her infamous [[Moe Blob]] shot.

* [[Japanese Delinquents]]: Just take a look from this spoiler quote:

* [[Kidanova]]: Seiun Nerima, though his tastes for women are rather... [[Gonk|questionable]]...

* [[Subcultures in Japan|Kogal]]: Anna Ichinomiya (also {{spoiler|a former top cheerleader}}).

** Aosuji's Student Council's president [[Subverted Trope|much less]] nice than you would expect from her [[Meganekko]] looks.

* [[Nerd Glasses]]: The two recurring computer club students.

* [[Nobody Poops]]: So very averted to the point that it's an early [[Running Gag]]. Even the very first scene of the manga is Shinagawa sitting in his favourite cubicle.

* [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler|Not who you're thinking. It's Makoto and Chiba in the end.}}

* [[Serious Business]]: The rivalry between the Red and White teams during the school athletic festival is so intense that friendships and couples have been known to break up for the duration of the competition should the friends or lovers find themselves on opposing teams.

** The stall at the back in the boys' bathroom is Shinagawa's only.

* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Inverted in Volume 6's bonus chapter. Shinagawa originally meets Adachi in cleaned-up mode, and then doesn't even recognize her the next year. In chapter 134, {{spoiler|Adachi plays this trope straight when she starts going to school unbraided and without glasses, with the entire school in awe.}}

* [[Shout-Out]]: "He's the legend, [[Badass Back|everyone who sees]] [[Power Tattoo|the dragon]], ''[[Saint Seiya|won't live to tell a tale]]''...."

* [[Show Within a Show]]: "Boobalicious Bounty Hunter Momoko". [[Department of Redundancy Department|Buxom female bounty hunter in skimpy outfits]].

** The play in which Komaki Howari has a part. It's named "[[Self-Parody|Yankee-chan and Megane-kun]]".

'''Shinagawa:''' YEAH! }}

* [[Super-Deformed]]: Adachi becomes chibified (with accompanying [[Opaque Lenses]]) whenever she's doing or saying something weird.

* [[The Stoic]]: Kagawa always has a straight face, even when he fights.

** Chiba says this to himself pretty much every day.

* [[Straight Man]]: Shinagawa to Hana, Seiya to everybody.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Two students keep criticizing the various posters the student council come up with.

** The two students from the computer club.

** Nacchi and Macchi. As of the recent {{spoiler|Student Council election}}, they have [[Ascended Extra|ascended]] into secondary characters.

* [[Title Drop]]: See [[Theme Naming]] of the chapter titles above.

* [[Two-Teacher School]]: The only prominently featured teacher is Sakai, who is also the coordinator for the Student Council, and even then he is just a side character.

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Shinagawa and Izumi. They spend much of their time together either viciously staring each other down or outright brawling. But they make a good team, and even if they clearly don't get along, they both grumpily admit that doesn't mean each would inarguably (and demonstrably) go to the ends of the Earth to save the other from danger.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Shinagawa's mother. And Hana, of course.

* [[Dawson Casting]]: Haruna Kawaguchi (Himeji), is a rare aversion, as she was really 15 at the time (being born in 1995). And already [[Huge Schoolgirl|taller]] (166 cm) than the actress playing Hana.

* [[Gecko Ending]]: Shinagawa finally {{spoiler|sees the girl he fell in love with at his school, confesses to her}}, then [[Crowning Moment of Funny|asks her name]]...

* [[Gender Flip]]: Hana lives with her grandfather rather than with her grandmother.

* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: Hana Adachi (See [[I See London]] below)

''Hana'': They're [[Completely Missing the Point|tomatoes]]! }}

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]]. Shinagawa {{spoiler|fights the yankees who went at Monshiro for Hana. He takes the blame and face expulsion so her past won't be revealed in front of everyone}}. Various characters discuss what attitude Hana should have over this. Finally, she {{spoiler|reveals her past to the whole school, what is intrumental in Shinagawa's reintgration}}.

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: {{spoiler|Himeji}}'s reaction towards the ending.

* [[Large Ham]]: Almost EVERYONE is required to be given the nature of the show. Riisa Naka particularly does her best at looking as dumb as she can. Even {{spoiler|in the last episode in cleaned-up mode}}. Special mention also goes to Kanata Hongo as Izumi.

* [[Maybe Ever After]]: For {{spoiler|Adachi and Shinagawa}} at the end.

{{spoiler|'''Shinagawa:'''}} Which is it?! }}

* [[Public Domain Soundtrack]]: Beethoven's ''[[Ode to Joy]]'' appears almost [[Once an Episode]].
