[[File:yawara.jpg|frame|Yawara and her manipulative grandfather]]
Yawara Inokuma is an [[Ordinary High School Student]]. Well, she'd [[I Just Want to Be Normal|like to be]]. Unfortunately, she's got a judo-obsessed [[Old Master|grandfather]] and [[Heir to
When a chance encounter (that is, almost being run over by) with [[Lonely Rich Kid|bored rich girl]] and sports fanatic [[Ojou|Sayaka Hon'nami]], Jigoro jumps at the chance to set up a proper [[The Rival|Rival]] to get Yawara excited.
Line 8:
With over three years left to go before the Olympics, will Jigoro succeed in sparking Yawara's [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours|competitive spirit]], or will his forceful methods raise her stubborn streak? It doesn't help to have a [[Intrepid Reporter|sports reporter]] sniffing around for a scoop, either.
From [[Naoki Urasawa|the creator]] of ''[[Master Keaton]]'', ''[[Monster (
Yes, really.
Line 14:
'''Contains examples of the following tropes:'''
* [[A Day in
* [[Almost Kiss]] (Yawara and Kazamatsuri in their first date, but they're interrupted by Jigoro, Sayaka and Matsuda.)
** {{spoiler|(Even worse between Yawara and Matsuda. At the last episode, Matsuda almost kisses Yawara, but he was pushed by drunken Jigoro and their friends.)}}
Line 33:
* [[Can't Stay Normal]] (Yawara repeatedly [[I Just Want to Be Normal|quits judo]], but over 15 years of habit can't be broken that easily, so she keeps her practice routine going until she gets drawn back in)
* [[Casanova]] (Kazamatsuri, although he walks a fine line between this and [[Handsome Lech]]. Played for comedy in the anime, but he comes across as more dangerous in the manga)
* [[Caught in
* [[The Chessmaster]] {{spoiler|(Kojiro)}}
* [[Christmas Episode]] (Episode 117)
Line 71:
** Sayaka always calls her Todo (no long vowels) = sea lion/sea cow.
* [[Hair Decorations]] (Yawara wears bands or ribbons frequently especially in tournament)
* [[Heir to
* [[Huge Schoolgirl]] (Played in an [[Missed the Call|unusual way]] with Fujiko)
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]] (Yawara, most of the time)
Line 86:
* [[Mad Love]] (Kuniko towards Matsuda)
* [[Magic Skirt]] (Averted)
* [[Make Way for
* [[Manly Tears]] (Hanazono)
* [[Martial Arts Uniform]] (Yawara and most other judo practioners in her series wear judogi when practicing or participating in tournaments.)
Line 119:
* [[Screw Politeness I Am a Senior]]
* [[Seinen]]
* [[Shipper
** Seems that Sayaka ships the pairing as well. She once asked Matsuda if he's tired following Yawara.
* [[Shotgun Wedding]] ( {{spoiler|Fujiko and Hanazono}})
* [[Show Some Leg]] (Subverted in that Yawara isn't doing it intentionally, and in fact the only reason she wins the matches is because the guys she's fighting are so obviously attempting to sneak a peak that she gets creeped out and forgets her intention to lose quickly. Played straight with Miririn, who even gets disqualified from a match for it)
* [[Shrinking Violet]] (Kyon-kyon, who joins the college judo club because she thinks it'll help her stand out more)
* [[Signed Up for
* [[Speed Stripes]] (Some of Yawara's throws generate these)
* [[Springtime for Hitler]] (Yawara tries to throw her first big public match to defuse the media attention she's getting. It doesn't work.)
