"That makes you a student, and we don't allow transfers. You're either leaving with a diploma or in a body bag. Welcome to Overlord Academy." —Sadist Secretary Janet welcomes Arthur Vogel to Overlord Academy

Overlord Academy is a weekly webcomic about an oboist who accidentally transfers into a school for evil overlords.

This Web Comic provides Examples of the following Tropes:

• Aerith and Bob: Arthur the Naive Newcomer meets Hiro, Thaelia, Nobara, and... Kevin
• Berserk Button: Thae definitely has one when it comes to Hiro.
  • Just... don't mess with Nova.
• Bi the Way: Kevin
• Boobs of Steel: Thae is by far the most busty member of the cast. She's also a ninja.
• Butt Monkey: Poor A-san can't seem to catch a break.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Kevin
• Combat Stilettos: Action Girl Thae is rarely seen out of her stilettos.
• Crash Into Hello: A-san and Kevin's first meeting
• Cute Bruiser: Nova
• Destination Defenestration: Nova's favorite method of disposing of anyone who pushes her berserk button.
• Elaborate University High: Somewhat subverted, since according to Thae, Overlord Academy actually is this.
• Elegant Gothic Lolita: Nova's preferred style of dress.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Darku-san
• Extranormal Institute: Overlord Academy itself.
• Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Thae, with bonus Magic Skirt
• Functional Magic: Thae and Nova both seem to take for granted that magic exists, and Nova even uses it to heal A-san's head.
• The Glomp: Nova literally knocks Thae to the ground in her first appearance.

Thae: Nova, your love hurts!

• Gratuitous Japanese: Mostly the use of honorifics in nicknames. Somewhat justified by the fact that Nova is actually Japanese.
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Hiro and Thae. He's 6'2", she's 5'0".
• I Call It Vera: Hiro has "Alice"
• Idiot Hair: A-san's cowlick
• Improbable Hairstyle: Thae somehow manages to be an action girl ninja with hair down to her ankles.
• In-Series Nickname: "A-san" for Arthur, despite his objections. "Darku-san" for his roommate. Both courtesy of Nova and Thae.
  • "Nova" and "Thae" are actually nicknames, too, for Nobara and Thaelia respectively.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: Kevin
• Miko: Word of God says that Nova works as a shrine maiden part-time. This may or may not have anything to do with her apparent magical powers.
• Mr. Exposition: Thae plays this to A-san's The Watson for a lot of the first chapter.
• Ms. Fanservice: Thae, both in the comic and in the voting rewards.
• Peek-a-Bangs: Hiro has the entire right side of his face obscured by bright blue bangs.
• Rapunzel Hair: Thae
  • Turns into a Braid of Action when she's in ninja gear.
• Sai Guy: Thae's weapon of choice.
• Sexy Santa Dress: Thae in the Christmas voting reward.
• School Uniforms Are the New Black: Thae wears the school uniform for much of the first chapter, despite the fact that school hasn't even started yet.
• Spy Catsuit: Thae, in her first appearance.
  • Hiro seems to be wearing a matching one underneath his leather jacket.
• Stranger in A Strange School
• Super Strength: Nova
• Super-Hero School: Inverted with the titular academy being a school for villains. Word of God says that there is also a Hero Academy, though it has yet to appear.
• Villain Protagonist: Every main character aside from A-san is voluntarily attending a school dedicated to teaching them how to be evil.
• The Watson: A-san acts as this a lot in the first chapter.
• Webcomic Time: Lampshaded by Hiro, who made his second appearance in the comic after a year's worth of strips.

Thae: Hiro. It's been too long. Hiro: It's been a DAY.

• Yaoi Fangirl: Thae accuses Nova of being this.
