Line 7:
Actually she's just a [[Jerkass|sadistic bitch]] of a high-school girl. When she finally meets someone, Yuzuko Mawatari, who's much better at her in a sport she can't effortlessly excel at, [[Mixed Martial Arts]], ''and'' who is happy and well-balanced, she makes it her mission in life to ''[[What the Hell, Hero?|run Yuzuko into the ground.]]''
 
A [[Seinen]] [[Manga]] series written by Oota Moare, serialized in a small magazine ''Good! Afternoon.'' Although it's been running since 2008, at the time of writing, late 2011, there have been only 14 ~40 page chapters (and it's a regular feature in the magazine), due being a '''''trimonthly publication'''''. It has a lot in common with ''[[Airmaster (Manga)|Airmaster]]'', which also features a tall schoolgirl who excels at sports as the main character and largely avoids fanservice, although [[Airmaster (Manga)|Maki]] is much less a sadistic bitch and more a [[Shrinking Violet]]. Also, ''Teppu'' is very realistic, while ''Airmaster''... isn't.
 
Teppu can be best thought of as an inverted [[Shounen]] manga. Natsuo, instead of being a happy and well-balanced young male, is an easily irritated and arrogant young female. Instead of starting off relatively weak and working her way up, Natsuo is already one of the best; Yuzuko is her first real challenge in ages. Instead of losing her first fight and learning some lesson about hard work, she wins it handily, through a cheap tactic. Really, Natsuo acts as an [[Villain Protagonist|antagonist]] to Yuzuko, having all the characteristics [[The Rival]] would have in a regular Shounen work. The best part is that this is all lampshaded by various characters, often Natsuo, who sees the whole situation as irritating, though also accepts being a [[Villain Protagonist]] rather easily.
