Ties into to EverybodyIsSingle

** It is also an example of this trope being used without having a main character and its only named male characters are the creepy Mr. Kimura and Chiyo's father, a man who only seems to appear in day dreams as a giant catlike creature. It tends to focus on comedic side of things.

Being a HighSchool series and all

* ''DokiDokiSchoolHours'' may be coed, but the formula is the same and this actually came before all of the above. (Dokidoki came out in 1997, predating Azumanga by three years)

* SkinshipGrope

* Joshikousei

Often the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]], but also can be NotSoAboveItAll.\\
May be a {{Tsundere}} as well as a {{Meganekko}}.

* VitriolicBestBuds, often between the TallDarkAndBishoujo character and the GenkiGirl\\
Often, but not always a {{Osananajimi}} and TomboyAndGirlyGirl / RedOni BlueOni relationship, especially if the TallDarkAndBishoujo in question is the [[StraightMan Straight Woman]] / [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]].

Ties into to EveryBodyIsSingle

May go so far to overlap with a RomanticTwoGirlRelationship.

* Yonkoma\\

In Japan, these kinds of series can overlap with {{Moe}} and are more likely to have men as part of their MultipleDemographicAppeal (if they are not outright targeted toward them) than is the case with most Western examples of this trope. Even so, SchoolgirlSeries rarely delve into FanService.

* ''AzumangaDaioh'' was actually responsible for [[CodifiedTrope codifying]] many of the tropes associated with SchoolgirlSeries, particularly with the character tropes that are commonly associated with such. Thus, has become a major example of this genre.

* ''AzumangaDaioh'' is an example of this trope being used without having a main character and its only named male characters are the creepy Mr. Kimura and Chiyo's father, a man who only seems to appear in day dreams as a giant catlike creature. It tends to focus on comedic side of things.

* {{Kekkaishi}} fits this trope, as Karasumori is their school and they must protect it at night from Demons and whatnot.

* "The Four Marys", a long-running strip in the Bunty girls' comic paper in Britain. It's about four girls named Mary that attend a girls' boarding school, and have (usually) age-appropriate adventures. Named male characters come from outside the school and generally appear for one story arc only.

* ''[[{{Ptitlei5gydjrz}} K-On!]]'' fits the SchoolgirlSeries template to the T, telling the story of a group of girls who are members of a light music club at an all-girls high school with the spunky "Sawa-chan" playing the role of club sponsor. There is really only one named male character that reappears in anime and he is the brother of a club member. [[CanonForeigner He never appears in the original source material.]]

[[AC:ComicBooks]]

* DokiDokiSchoolHours may be coed, but the formula is the same and this actually came before all of the above. (Dokidoki came out in 1997, predating Azumanga by three years)

* {{Sketchbook}} revolves around the mostly female members of an art club and their chicken-obsessed, energetic teacher Ms. Kasugano.

* ''{{Tamayura}}'' can be considered as one. The girls may not spend much time at school, but they are often depicted in their uniforms.

* HidamariSketch features a group of girls who live in the Hidamari Apartments and attend a nearby art school together. One of their teachers at their school, Yoshinoya, [[AdultChild sometimes seems much less mature than they do]]. In some ways the series tells the story of how the main heroine, Yuno, matures from being a naive freshman to being more of an adult.

* LuckyStar mainly focuses on the core group of friends of Konata, the twins Kagami and Tsukasa, and Miyuki along with a few of their classmates and relatives. This series [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade on]] the EverybodyIsSingle part of a good many SchoolgirlSeries when the group wonders why Miyuki does not yet have a boyfriend. It also only has two named male characters that appear for more than a couple of minutes (aside from Anime Tenchou), Konata's dad, Soujirou, and Minoru Shiraishi.
* AzumangaDaioh is an example of this trope being used without having a main character and its only named male characters are the creepy Mr. Kimura and Chiyo's father, a man who only seems to appear in day dreams as a giant catlike creature. It tends to focus on comedic side of things.

* GAGeijutsukaArtDesignClass focuses on a group of girls (and a couple of boys) at Ayanoi High School, most of whom are enrolled in G.A., a class that specializes in arts.
* HighSchoolGirls, also known as Girl's High.
