Line 7:
[[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|In the year 2035]], a sharp drop in the birth rate and social mores making it more acceptable for teenagers to start their careers early have emptied schools across Japan. Seiou Gakuen is a prestigious old private school that is slowly succumbing to the lack of students, and morale is at an all-time low among both the faculty and the students. Even the Student Council can't get anyone interested in joining, and its only member was practically shanghaied into the post.
 
Enter Manami "Manabi" Amamiya, a [[Genki Girl]] so genki [[Hot -Blooded|that she's practically an unstoppable force of nature]]. She gets herself elected [[Student Council President]] on her first day after transferring in, and proceeds to turn the whole school upside down with fun. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

Line 45:
* [[Fourth Wall Psych]] - In episode 2, Manabi climbs up to the point on the wall where the camera should be and acts like she's reaching for it. She instead grabs a camera that's hidden from view.
* [[Genki Girl]] - Manabi, natch.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]
** Manabi - [[Yui Horie]]
** Mika - [[Ai Nonaka]]
Line 52:
** Momoha - [[Saki Fujita]], better known as the voice of [[Vocaloid|Miku Hatsune]]
* [[High School Rocks]] - Manabi's goal is to make high school unforgettable for her school mates. {{spoiler|Grade school, OTOH, sucks.}} And the school principal and Shimojima-sensei fondly remembers their times there, too.
* [[Hot -Blooded]] - Manabi faces everything enthusiastically. She can't stay put, any time is good for a speech.
* [[Hover Board]] - To make sure the viewer realizes the show is set in the future, Manabi has one of these. In the finale, it upgrades to a jet bike.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Everyone calls Mika "Mikan" (tangerine). Manabi is a portmanteau of her name, Manami, and ''manabu'' (to learn).
Line 61:
* [[New Transfer Student]] - Manabi.
* [[Old School Building]] - The student council move in here when {{spoiler|their room in the clock tower is destroyed by lightning}}.
* [[Opening Shout -Out]] - {{spoiler|The opening of the series is actually the finale}}.
* [[Plucky Girl]] - You can't stop Manabi for long.
* [[Ponzi]] - Mei once proposes starting a Ponzi scheme in order to {{spoiler|collect enough signatures for the petition to save the school festival}}.
Line 72:
* [[School Newspaper Newshound]] - Momo.
* [[Sensei-chan]] - Shimoji-sensei takes being dive-kicked by his students suprisingly well.
* [[Shout -Out]] - In episode eight, the characters are all wearing yellow construction helmets. Mikan's helmet has a few markings subtly added to make it the same as the one worn by the [[Invincible Minor Minion|Metool]] enemy in ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]]''.
** Another to ''[[Paranoia Agent]]'' of all things: Lil' Slugger's bat and a pink plush doll resembling Maromi can be found in the Student Council room.
* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]] - They even do a ''[[Three Stooges]]'' number in Episode 7.
