Jiro and Kyoko

In the spring of Kyoko's first year in high school Eiko, a girl like a sister to her and her cousin, returns with her younger brother, Jiro. The return isn't that big of a deal, but Jiro (self proclaimed super mad scientist) has it in his head that he wants to operate on Kyoko! And, what's even more, the two of them are actually high ranking members of an Evil organization at the run from the heroes of justice...kinda.

This is a Slice of Life action comedy written by Shun Fujiki that mostly follows the actions of Jiro who is in the company of civilians for the first time in his life. Kyoko more or less finds herself holding his leash and falling in love with him, not that she would admit it.

Short List of Characters:

• Jiro Akuno: A Mad Scientist who is generally well meaning, just hopeless in the normal world.

• Kyoko Watari: Ordinary High School Student who's life gets a lot more, interesting, when Jiro and Eiko move in.

• Eiko Akuno: Jiro's older sister. She is Big Eater who is normally Super-Deformed.

• Kyoko's friends:
  • Yuki Shinonome who does most things For the Lulz
  • Aki Nakatsugawa another normal girl who excels in track.

• The Watari Fanclub: these become Kyoko's and Jiro's male friends.
  • The President Ryuugi Akagi is very serious which is why he is also the student council president. He and Aki Nakatsugawa have a little bit of Ship Tease going on.
  • Shinpei Aoki is very muscular and poses randomly all the time. He has the least screen time out of the group, and we don't really know all that much about him.
  • Yoshihito Kimura loves to get stepped on (IE Sadomasochist), is the biggest pervert, strips, and is the fattest.
  • Yasuhiko Midoritani is the most normal of the group and has a crush on Yuki Shinonome. He gets the most attention in the series out of the fanclub members.

• Buxom Is Better: Jiro says this and built 2.0 with a bigger chest than Kyoko
• Call on Me: In Kyoko's defense he was late.

• Catgirl: How President Ryuugi Akagi wants Kyoko modified.
• Caught The Heart On His Cape: Kyoko adorably
• Character Development: Kyoko goes from an introverted Type A Tsundere to a much more open and outgoing person and more of an Type B, still firmly Type A but much less abusive and more forgiving, as the series goes on due to Jiro's influence.
  • Jiro himself progressed from Crazy Awesome Mad Scientist with No Social Skills into a slightly less crazy and even more awesome Gadgeteer Genius, albeit slowly.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: Eiko
  • Kyoko herself would qualify, as she is much stronger than your average schoolgirl.
    • It runs in the family - after all, almost half (if not more) of her family are villains.
• Childhood Marriage Promise: Mentioned briefly, during Kyokos flasback she remembers that Jiro and she have already met when they were kids. Back then They were asked what they want to be in the future and Kyoko said she'd be Jiro's bride.

• Clingy Jealous Girl: 2.0
  • Kyoko later on in the story

  • Jiro is this trope at times too.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: Jiro goes crazy when he thinks he is losing Kyoko to a girl.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Eiko and damn does she hide it well.
  • Though it might qualify as Obfuscating Stupidity For the Lulz, since she is eccentric enough to do it and most of her co-called stupidity comes from simple laziness.
• Curb Stomp Battle: Jiro vs The Entire Evil Organization "The Gorgeous". Jiro wins
• Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Jiro's family has no money. Almost any/all of Jiro's inventions are scientific break throughs that would make them millions.

• Deliberately Distressed Damsel: Eiko in a highly impractical attempt to gain fame and fortune.
• Disproportionate Restitution: No matter how innocent or little the slight Jiro does to Kyoko she megaton punches him. She does get better about this as time goes on.
  • Also the Allies of Justice on the "Evil" organizations. Brutally destroying them with their superior fire power for not-so-evil acts like having a festival.
• Ditzy Genius: Jiro can build pretty much anything, but is so naive that he really can't do anything right.
• Drunk on Milk: 2.0 gets plastered on soda. Lampshaded here although it could be justified by 2.0 being a robot and all.

  • Hanako Yasuhiko Midoritani's little sister.
  • Kyosato Yukari the English teacher.
• Empathic Weapon: Jiro's cape
• Emperor Scientist: Jiro's goal.
• Enemy Mine: When another group enters the school and starts targeting Justice, Evil, and civilians indiscriminately Jiro and the Justice followers team up to defeat them.

• Evil Genius: Self described Jiro.
• "Evil" Redhead: Also Jiro
• Everyone Can See It
• The Family That Slays Together: Everyone in Jiro's family is in the Evil Organization.
  • Other than Kyouko's mother - otherwise Kyouko would have been a part of the official family business (even then nobody minds her seeing all sorts of secret things, and civilians aren't supposed to see anything).
    • Well, at the very least Kyouko's mother was a villain at the time she met Kyouko's father as in a flashback she was shown grumbling about Justice at a ramen stand.
• Fastball Special: Kyouko was not amused.
• First Girl Wins: It's rather obvious that Kyouko and Jiro will be together, and she was the first girl he met that has any importance in the story. They also have a Childhood Marriage Promise, courtesy of Kyouko.
• Fish Out of Water: Jiro knows nothing outside of being an evil scientist.
• Funny Afro: Jiro modified Kyoko's Dad the first chapter from balding to the Funny Afro.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Jiro
• Genre Savvy: The one time the plot was in a genre Jiro understood. Minori was trying to pull Jiro away from Kyoko to increase her popularity. He knew her plan from the get go and was impressed with her for it, at least until Kyoko could figure it out too.
  • Kyoko gradually becomes this about Jiro.
• Girl-On-Girl Is Hot: Yoshihito Kimura is OK find to find out that a girl he was trying to seduce was lesbian because of this.

• Go-Karting with Bowser: Happens on occasion as Jiro makes more friends with Allies of Justice.
• Grey and Gray Morality: There's nice guys among the villains who do charity work for their town and some real jerks among the heroes, and it looks like The heroes and villains will have to team up to defeat and unambiguously evil thirds side.
• Harmless Villain: Jiro and his family. They are more likely to save someone than to bully them.
• Heroes Want Redheads: Shizuka has a crush on Jiro
• Hot Scientist: Jiro
• Hot Springs Episode: A few times thus far
• In Name Only: Most villains want to Take Over the World in a "let's make everyone happy so they want to be ruled by us, and we'll rule them then" kind of way, and heroes want to stop them, which kind of isn't heroic considering that world would probably be better under the rule of villains.
• Instant Expert: Averted with Jiro. He might be creating stuff, but he still has to test it before doing anything grand. And while he is proficient with using his cape (which was created by his father) to do various things, he didn't know about some of its abilities before and has to learn to use them.
• Imagine Spot: Shizuka Kusakabe has one where Jiro is Bishounen with a Bishie Sparkle. She's prone to these sometimes.

  • His father is also one if him running the organization and creating Jiro's cape is anything to go by.

• Master of the Mixed Message: Jiro can veer into this at times because of his lack of knowledge on human relationships.
• Megaton Punch: Jiro is on the receiving end all the time from Kyoko which seems to be why he wants to modify her because her starting qualities are so good.
• Meido: 2.0
• Mobile Shrubbery: Eiko uses a telephone pole.

• Ordinary High School Student: Everybody in their school except for Jiro and later on Shizuka Kusakabe, and Akira Kurosawa.

• Skinship Grope
• Skirt Over Slacks: Shizuka Kusakabe on occasion
• Slasher Smile: Jiro's teeth are pointed so any smile of his gives this impression.
• Sliding Scale of Villain Effectiveness: Jiro's group? None less than none, and actually the locals around them can't wait for the "Kill Them All" group to come back because they are so nice and Jiro builds them machines for free.

• Temporary Love Interest: Shikenoshin Kujou for Kyoko.

• Training from Hell: The Room of Evil: Death Hall aka Evil Crevice. Is where villains go to level up and the first room involves fighting the person you are weaker against and it only gets worse from there.
