In a World where the Japanese passenger railway system was never privatized, Naoto Takayama is accepted to the Japanese National Railways on-the-job training ("OJT") program. He hopes this is the first step toward him becoming a train operator... but he's assigned to security squad K-4.[1]. Hilarity Ensues, as does Fan Service and Drama.
tropelist
- Beach Episode: Episode 4, complete with the girls being assigned Fan Service swimsuits by Iida so that they can serve as distractions while their male teammates carry out a security sweep.
- Big Breasts, Big Deal: Of the women in squad K-4, Sakurai is smallest and is still able to fill a bikini top; Iida has a noticeably-large chest (and seems indifferent to it), and Koumi has very-large ones (which occasionally leads to embarrassment on her part). Averted with Sasshou, who does not make any comments about her smaller-but-still-noticeable bust size.
- Clothing Damage: A few examples, but Episode 6 is egregious - Koumi starts the episode wearing a pretty outfit, and ends it wearing shoes, socks, and panties, because everything else has been torn away, not all at once.
- A Day in the Limelight): Iida finally gets one in Episode 12. (Averted for Iwaizumi, who remains a supporting character throughout the series... but he's a male and this series is heavy on the Fan Service, so it's expected.)
- Fan Service: Panty Shots abound, and Koumi has never heard of a sports bra. See also the entry above for "Big Breasts, Big Deal".
- Five-Man Band: Squad K-yon.
- The Hero: Takayama
- The Lancer: Sakurai
- The Big Guy: Iwaizumi
- The Smart Guy: Koumi
- The Chick: Iida
- Funbag Airbag: Played for Laughs in one episode, where Sakurai stops one of Takayama's model trains with her breast. Played Straight in other episodes, usually but not always Takayama/Koumi or Takayama/Sakurai.
- Idol Singer: Noa, who first appears in Episode 4 and becomes a recurring guest-star for the remainder of the series.
- Ms. Fanservice: Koumi. The other females take turns providing their share of Fan Service, but Koumi provides more than any two others.
- Rail Enthusiast:
- Takayama applied for the OJT program in order to become a train operator. He has a permanent track for model railroad trains in his room at home, complete with a full basic operator's setup.
- Sasshou can identify trains by their sound. Her friend Kaori (in Episode 3) is even better at this.
- Prince Bernina (from Episodes 10-11) invites Takayama to be on a First-Name Basis because they're both rail enthusiasts.
- Out-of-universe, the entire series is Fan Service for Rail Enthusiasts.
- Requisite Royal Regalia: In Episodes 10 and 11, Bernina has a fancy outfit, complete with epaulets that look like the came out of Revolutionary Girl Utena. The clothing becomes important to the plot in Episode 11.
- The Show Must Go On: In episode 4, when Takayama is stabbed while apprehending a person who was trying to attack Noa on-stage, they worked it into the show so as to not alarm the audience.
- Suggestive Collision: Episode 9 has Takayama getting the Marshmallow Hell version while operating a train car.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Sakurai and Koumi, respectively. On separate occasions, Sakurai tries dressing in a more feminine manner and Koumi tries dressing the way Sakurai usually does; neither attempt goes well.
- Unwanted Harem: Iida, Koumi, Sakurai, Sasshou, and Noa are all interested in Takayama. Takayama is interested in trains.
Spoiler tropes:
- Raised as the Opposite Gender, Tomboy Princess: Bernina.

- ↑ This might be a Stealth Pun; "K-yon" is pronounced remarkably similarly to "keion", a term which is (logically enough) explained in K-On!.
