Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~doki_doki_measuring_day~~doki doki measuring day.jpg\|link=Doki Doki School Hours\|~~right~~frame]] In a lot of manga and anime series that take place at a high school, there is at least one episode or volume in which the students get a full physical examination. This usually takes place during the course of a whole day and is either used for fanservice or for lots of jokes in which [[Big Breasts, Big Deal\|certain physical quantities]] of (female) students get ~~compared--or~~compared—or where one of the girls gets a chance to really freak out about her weight problem, imagined or not. Not to mention the usual [[All Men Are Perverts\|group of guys]] that always try to [[The Peeping Tom\|peek]] on the examination. {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * ''[[Doki Doki School Hours]]'' * ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]''. Surprisingly, Kimura-sensei is almost entirely absent from those scenes, despite being an [[Dirty Old Man\|obvious avenue for cheap humor]]. (He shows up for a single punchline.) Line 26: * ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' has an entire chapter on this. If Yuno, who [[Older Than They Look\|cared more about her height]] than weight, decided not to have breakfast, then [[Hollywood Pudgy\|Hiro]]... Also, is a 2mm difference in height merely due to error? * ''[[Cromartie High School]]'' has a ''hilarious'' skit involving a visiting doctor and his reactions when measuring the less... ''ordinary'' students of Cromartie. * ~~Variant~~A variant crops up in ''[[ToA ~~Aru~~Certain ~~Kagaku no~~Scientific Railgun]]''. It's called "[[Measuring Day]]", but rather than a physical exam, ~~its~~it's measuring the students' special powers. Special precautions have to be taken at Tokiwadai when measuring [[Person of Mass Destruction\|Mikoto's]] Railgun, including using the pool as a shock absorber. * Measuring day presents a real problem for Makoto in ''[[Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa]]'': Namely, concealing the fact that she's a true Hermaphrodite from her peers. * The grade-school girls in ''[[Kodomo no Jikan]]'' convince [[Gag Boobs\|their teacher]] to be [http://crazymanga.be/reader/show/3824/0/20 measured also]{{Dead link}}. Then their male teacher [[Naked People Are Funny\|walks in]]. * ''[[Seikon no Qwaser]]'' has this for a filler episode, with the expected focus on breast measurement. * Used as a conflict point in [[Strawberry Eggs]] in which crossdressing teacher Hibiki is at a loss on how to prevent his status as male from being known after the faculty declares he must undergo a physical as well. His landlady saves the day. Line 35: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Measuring Day~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Japanese Media Tropes]] [[Category:School Tropes]] ▲[[Category:Measuring Day]]
