[[File:yanderekanojo_137yanderekanojo 137.jpg|frame|[[Ordinary High School Student|Manabu]] and [[Tsundere|Re]][[Japanese Delinquents|ina]]. Actually, you could call them [[Flunk Punk Rumble|Megane-kun and Yankee-chan]], if not for copyright issues.]]
Tanaka Manabu is a regular honors student. On the way to school, he meets a girl carrying a bloody bat. That girl is Ryuuzaki Reina, leader of the school's female delinquents. It's love at first sight. ''Yandere Kanojo'' is a gag manga (with a combination of [[Yonkoma]] and normal page) about having a yankee dere-dere girlfriend.
 
A drama CD came out in Japan in 2010.
 
NOTE: In the title of this series, "yandere" refers not to [[Yandere (disambiguation)|this term]], but to the "yankee"+ "dere-dere" combination. In this sense, 'yankee' means troublemaker, ''not'' an American.
 
Not to be confused with [[Onidere]], which has a strikingly similar concept, but is only similar to this series in that regard.
Line 15:
* [[Adorkable]]: Shiratori thinks he's popular with girls because he's so cool. In reality, he's popular with the girls because they find how easily-flustered he gets when they flirt with him adorable.
* [[All Gays Are Promiscuous]]: Shuuei Mori. In his introductory chapter, the first thing he says to every guy he meets is "Hey, wanna go to a hotel later?".
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20090912120458/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v01/c002/9.html HOLY] [https://web.archive.org/web/20090912120341/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v01/c002/15.html SHIT] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v01/c002.1/8.html MANABU]!
** To put it simply, it WOULDN'T be a big problem if the guy saying it was NOT a [[The Stoic|Stoic one]].
* [[Anti-Hero]]: The [[Magical Girl]] Princess Mamii, if her eagerness to [[Shoot the Hostage]] is anything to go by.
Line 71:
* [[Cosmetic Catastrophe]]: Reina starts out well when learning how to use makeup, getting Mayami to help her, but when she tries to go solo, it descends into this.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Reina has a tendency to warn Manabu not to do or think of perverted things that never occurred to him.
** To be fair, Manabu makes some strong hints that [https://web.archive.org/web/20110207034038/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v03/c024/4.html he's a Covert Pervert too].
** Reina has [https://web.archive.org/web/20100524115847/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v03/c016/12.html her moments] as well.
* [[Cry Cute]]: Can't be more Dere-dere than that.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: The Kendo Club shows up to defend the school from a possessed Reina, which ends exactly how you'd expect it to. Then the Judo Club shows up only to suffer the same fate.
Line 120:
** Even characters like [[Unknown Rival|Nanami]], Sumika and [[The Hunter|Tsukihitsugi]] have these moments.
** This happens more and more as the series continues, and we delve further into the characters.
* [[Hot for Teacher]]: A-ko falls for Kouichiro after he helps her, and tries to convince him to leave his wife for her. [[Violently Protective Girlfriend|Three guesses]] [[Yandere (disambiguation)|as to how well]] [[Curb Stomp Battle|that works out]].
* [[Ho Yay]]: Hijiri, Mayami, and Reina determine that the reason Shiratori doesn't show interest in love and dating girls is because he's preoccupied with something else. That something else being Manabu. Make of that what you will.
** It's shown that he's not interested in love because of his upbringing at home (he has dominating sisters). Analyzed by Mayami, no less.
Line 127:
** In chapter 35, Reina notes Manabu gets obsessed over whatever he targets (in this case, Shiratori).
** In chapter 39.1 Reina outright [[Invoked Trope|invokes]] this when she nonchalantly accuses Shiratori and Manabu of flirting with each other.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: When Reina saw one of her subordinates crying because she saw her boyfriend with another girl, she just told her to go kick their asses. When she sees [https://web.archive.org/web/20091121075828/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v01/c000/15.html Manabu with another girl...]
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: [[Played for Laughs]] in chapter 29. Ran (Reina's mother) suspects that her husband Kouichirou's odd behavior means he's having an affair (it turns out he's actually hanging out with Manabu's grandfather). The following exchange occurs:
{{quote|'''Reina:''' '''''What was that? Dad is cheating on you!?'''''
Line 138:
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: The series title.
** Elizadeath.
** Wakako seems to have the name she does just so the author could pun her name into [[Baka|Bakako]]ko in the title of the chapter she features in.
* [[It Amused Me]]: ''Hijiri'', of all people, at one point goes out of her way to antagonize Shiratori for no reason other than it being hilarious.
* [[It Runs in The Family]]: Reina gets her tsundere personality from a fusion of her mom's sweetness/violence and her dad's social awkwardness.
Line 183:
** [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]
* [[Secret Relationship]]: At least initially (see [[Tsundere]] further down), but as the series goes on it becomes more of an [[Open Secret]], if even that, especially with Manabu and Reina not bothering to hide it in front of any named characters, who all know about it.
* [[Serious Business]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20090912120448/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v01/c002/7.html Bloomers.]
* [[Sexy Santa Dress]]: Reina's employer outfits his female employees with this at Christmas.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Reina and Manabu have a mutual moment of this when they meet up wearing yukatas at the festival.
Line 194:
** The weapons shop chapter has a couple - [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Rena's cleaver]] makes an appearance and the owner prices everything in [[Final Fantasy|Gil]] (which converts to yen at 10 yen = 1 gil). The owner himself is directly stated to look like [[Dragon Quest III|Kandar]].
** In the [[Freaky Friday Flip]] chapter, there's the "Hurion Mixer", a Shout Out to "Hurricane Mixer", Buffaloman's finishing move in [[Kinnikuman]]. Buffaloman's face even appears, [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|but his eyes are censored.]]
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20090912120336/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v01/c002/14.html There it is, one of Reina's 48 killer techniques...]
*** Then there's the Kinniku Driver in the pacifism chapter.
*** After being bitten by Tiny in Chapter 37.1, Manabu has teeth marks on his face that make him "look like Buffaloman".
Line 209:
** The chapter introducing Akira is entitled, "Femininity, that is, [[My Fair Lady]]". Sure enough, for the opening page, Akira is wearing the same outfit as Eliza Doolittle.
** The landlady of Shuu's new apartment is an exact copy of Otonashi Kyouko from [[Maison Ikkoku]], right down to the cutesy animal apron.
** Kuroko's entire story can be considered a shoutout/sendup/parody of [[Tasogare Otome Xx Amnesia]], which runs in the same magazine.
** And then we have a little shout-out to [[The King of Fighters|Iori Yagami]], where [https://web.archive.org/web/20120227211354/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v05/c037/16.html Ran, Reina's mom, basically tries to kill Eiko.] Pose looks like Iori's SDM version of his Maiden Masher and the title even has Iori's catchphrase.
** The cats in chapter 37.1 act like the cats from [[Azumanga Daioh]] around Sakaki. Well, to be fair, Chibita attacks first...
** [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|"A Cruel Caste System's Thesis".]]
Line 226:
* [[Stern Teacher]]: The Principal. Borderline [[Sadist Teacher]] if not for the fact that he treats students who follow rules, including "redeemed" delinquents, with utmost respect.
** In chapter 36.1, it is shown that he's quite a [[Reasonable Authority Figure]], forgiving Tsukihitsugi for breaking his vase (which is a present from his students) since she apologizes and the vase is fixed (though he still hits Reina for taking supplies from his desk without permission). And from his story, it seems that he also likes to help students who have constructive hobbies.
* [[The Stoic]]: Manabu's defining trait is his ability to take Reina's [[Megaton Punch|Megaton Punches]]es, amazingly spicy cooking, Shiratori's persistent attempts to conduct some sort of rivalry, and pretty much everything else that happens to him in stride. Reina inwardly complains it makes him hard to read, but then again a less patient guy probably wouldn't put up [[Tsundere|with the abuse she dished out earlier in the series]].
* [[Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl]]: Kuroko's a comical version.
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Reina swims like a rock. {{spoiler|Turns out Hijiri does too.}}
Line 232:
{{quote|'''Hijiri:''' "I must say, you look really cute when you're working hard...in fact, I'd say I'd rather love Reina than some guy. *beat* O-OF COURSE I DIDN'T MEAN IT IN A WEIRD WAY! I MEANT AS FRIENDS!"}}
* [[Theme Naming]]: Reina's flunkies are named Eiko & Biko ("Girl A" and "Girl B"), fitting their largely unimportant to the plot status.
* [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]]: Nanami, though she's also a case of [[Older Than They Look]] (her age is given as 16). It works against her anyway since Manabu treats her crush on him as a [[Precocious Crush]], not to be taken seriously.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Reina and Hijiri.
** Nanami and Sumika.
Line 252:
** Like many of Reina's traits, it comes from her mother. In one story, Ran ''crucifies'' a solicitor for wasting Kouichirou's time while they're on a date, while in another, she threatens his entire class if they cause him trouble.
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: Manabu's a relatively ordinary-looking guy. Reina seems to think he's on the male supermodel/"legendary man-whore" end of the spectrum.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20100721044231/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v03/c018/7.html of course.]
* [[When He Smiles]]: Reina's dad smiled once, and everyone was [https://web.archive.org/web/20100702055732/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yandere_kanojo/v03/c017/11.html surprised.]
** During the high school days of Reina's parents, Ran (Reina's mom) fainted after Kouichirou (Reina's dad) smiled at her. The effect of the smile was so profound it made her deredere side the dominant one. Note that Ran was one of the most feared delinquents in her neighborhood during her time.
* [[Whole-Episode Flashback]]: Reina's parents' first meeting, and Sumika and Nanami's first meeting, both get two chapters.
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]], when you consider the title and Reina's personality. An omake reveals that [[What Could Have Been|Mayami was originally supposed to be a murderously jealous yandere little sister]] before the author decided otherwise.
** Ran, on the other hand, plays this trope straight in chapter 37.
* [[Yonkoma]]
