Line 4:
The three most commonly portrayed clubs are the student council, the school newspaper, and the Kendo team. For the student council, see [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]] and [[Student Council President]]. For the newspaper, see [[School Newspaper Newshound]]. For the Kendo team, see [[Kendo Team Captain]].
 
It's rare for a student to be a member of more than one club -- club activities are generally too time-consuming to allow for it, and characters who do are generally the driven overachiever. The [[Ordinary High School Student]] who isn't a member of ''any'' club is said to be a member of the "Go Home Club". (Usagi does this in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' when she gets to [[High School]], as does Watanuki from ''[[XxxHolicxxxHolic]]''. Kagura from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' accuses the rest of the girls of this.) If there's a female character member of an all-male sports club, such as the baseball or soccer clubs, she's portrayed as the [[Cute Sports Club Manager]]. Characters who are a member of more than one club or who are extremely rapid in recruitment and enthusiasm are usually an [[Extracurricular Enthusiast]].
 
Some schools require clubs to have a minimum number of members. A common theme is, therefore, the [[Club Stub]] which will do anything to get more members to prevent getting disbanded. And with anything we mean anything from [[The Power of Friendship]] to brutal force.
