History Manga / Yuyushiki

* TapOnTheHead: Yuzuko is quite fond of hitting others in their cranium, and at one point, [[BrickJoke she attempts to knock Yui out with a chop to the neck a few episodes later]], only to receive a stern lecture about [[RealityEnsues how the move doesn't work in real life]] and instead [[DontTryThisAtHome can lead to serious injuries]].

* ScaryScienceWords: When DitzyGenius Yuzuko found out water can be called "oxidane," she made up lines like "pour oxidane on dumplings, then cover," in which both Yui and Yukari found to be scarier than it should be.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: There's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNu04_pFnT4 a scene where the girls talk about food]], and Yuzuko and Yukari begin wondering what Yui's "little bean" tastes like.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNu04_pFnT4 scene]] where the girls are talking about food, and Yuzuko and Yukari start wondering what Yui's "little bean" tastes like...

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNu04_pFnT4]] scene where the girls are talking about food, and Yuzuko and Yukari start wondering what Yui's "little bean" tastes like...

** Notice how during the said scene, Yui goes from kneeling on the floor to sitting with her legs closed.

* ArrangedMarriage: Suggesting that this is what her future entail, Yukari appears to be okay with an arranged marriage.
-->'''Yukari''': The eldest son works to make the house rich and prosperous, while I strengthen our familial bonds.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Some might interpret the "little bean" DoubleEntendre as referencing the clitoris.

Upon starting life at an [[SchoolgirlSeries all-girls high school]], [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Yui, Yuzuko, and Yukari]] revitalise the formerly [[ClubStub derelict data processing club]]. Spending most of their days looking up obscure or unusual things, their ordinary lives are often accompanied by unusual puns and various antics. The unusual friendship between Yui, Yuzuko and Yukari allow for the three to find peculiar humour in the most mundane of observations, and also sets the stage for a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship (or even [[ThreesomeSubtext three-girl]]) dynamics.

* MoodWhiplash: Yui and friends also discuss the meaning of death in one episode, and how it separates one those precious to them. Subsequently, they resolve to live while the others are still alive.

* [[AllLoveIsUnrequited All]] {{Girls Love}} [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Is Unrequited]]: Yuzuko and Yukari like Yui, while Yui generally exhibits {{tsundere}} behaviour towards both (but has a protective instinct towards Yukari that could be like-like, or could be seeing her as a kid). They also like Chiho, who [[ObliviousToLove doesn't seem to notice, and she doesn't notice her friend's attraction to her, either.]] Chiho likes Yui, who, in turn, [[ObliviousToLove doesn't seem to notice]].

* ContemplateOurNavels: While generally light-hearted, one episode has the girls wondering what death itself is, asking whether or not: "[[DeathFlag …will we be able to see our death coming?]]", as well as whether or not they would be "with our dearests in the afterlife?" In keeping with the atmosphere surrounding ''Yuyushiki'', that episode ends on [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming an optimistic note]].

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: In a series where ''[[LesYay yuri]]'' is prevalent, two notable examples stand out:

* MoodWhiplash: Yui and friends also discuss the meaning of death in one episode, and how it separates one those precious to them. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Subsequently, they resolve to live while the others are still alive]].

* [[StraightMan Straight Girl]] / OnlySaneWoman: Yui and Chiho serve these roles among their group of friends.

* [[AllLoveIsUnrequited All]] {{Girls Love}} [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Is Unrequited]]: Yuzuko and Yukari like Yui, who generally exhibits {{tsundere}} behaviour towards both (but has a protective instinct towards Yukari that could be like-like, or could be seeing her as a kid). They also like Chiho, who [[ObliviousToLove doesn't seem to notice, and she doesn't notice her friend's attraction to her, either.]] Chiho likes Yui, who, in turn, [[ObliviousToLove doesn't seem to notice]].

* [[AllLoveIsUnrequited All]] {{Girls Love}} [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Is Unrequited]]: Yuzuko and Yukari like Yui, generally exhibits {{tsundere}} behaviour towards both (but has a protective instinct towards Yukari that could be like-like, or could be seeing her as a kid). They also like Chiho, who [[ObliviousToLove doesn't seem to notice, and she doesn't notice her friend's attraction to her, either.]] Chiho likes Yui, who, in turn, [[ObliviousToLove doesn't seem to notice]].

* PottyEmergency: In the fifth episode, Yuzuko experiences this after Yui stops her from going to the bathroom.

* PottyEmergency: In the fifth episode, Yuzuko experiences thus after Yui stops her from going to the bathroom.

* TriangRelations: There is semblance of a Type 9 triangle amongst Yui, Yuzuko and Yukari; Yukari and Yuzuko clearly have a thing for Yui, who doesn't seem to be in love with either, but ''does'' remark that she finds both of them very cute. Yukari and Yuzuko don't compete over Yui in any case, likely because of their apparent feelings for ''each other''. Yes, it's complicated.
** At one point Yuzuko flirts with Yui when it's just the two of them, only to find it very awkward, which indicates that the romance only works when it involves all three girls.

Yukari and Yuzuko don't appear to compete over Yui and are often rather affectionate towards one other, as well.

** In the first episode, when Yoriko ma'am asks the students to name their favourite English words, someone says StoneCold.

* PottyEmergency: Yuzu has one in Episode 5.

!!Wow, tropes! Cool!
* [[AllLoveIsUnrequited All]] {{Girls Love}} [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Is Unrequited]]: Yuzuko and Yukari like Yui, who's ambiguously {{tsundere}} towards both (but has a protective instinct towards Yukari that could be like-like, or could be seeing her as a kid); they also like Aikawa, who [[ObliviousToLove doesn't seem to notice, and she doesn't notice her friend's attraction to her, either.]] Aikawa likes Yui, who, in turn, [[ObliviousToLove doesn't seem to notice.]]
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: The three main girls' given names, and the show's title, all start with "Yu."
* ArrangedMarriage: Yukari implies this is what her future holds, and she's fine with it.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Yuzuko and Yukari are prone to this, often talking about one thing, then immediately switching the subject when another topic comes up.
* BareYourMidriff: While their shirts are of normal length, [[http://fabien.li/tvtropes/yuyushiki.html the girls do tend to show their navels quite often.]]
* BeachEpisode: Episode 12. Yui is initially reluctant to go, but eventually agrees to, and the three girls spend the second half of the episode there.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Resident SenseiChan Yoriko gets shockingly angry at a student...according to Yuzuko. [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome The audience doesn't get to see it]], and she doesn't reveal what got her so angry.

** The search engine the girl uses is called "[=HooYa=]!", with a UI akin to Website/{{Google}}.
** Yui apparently orders stuff from "Tamazon."

** When Yukari was in the second grade, she brought what looks like Jelly Belly jelly beans to a school picnic.
** Yuzuko buys some Heegan-Dazs ice cream in episode 2.
** Yuzuko and Yukari buy snacks at a Lavson (Lawson) in episode 9.
* BlankWhiteEyes: Everybody has their moments. However, Yuzuko has the most of them.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Yui, Yukari and Yuzuko respectively.
* BookEnds: The last episode ends with the trio heading off to start a new session of school, much like in the first episode. There's even a repeat of Yuzuko's staring contest with a cat.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Yuzuko and Yukari act as a dual boke, with Yui as the tsukkomi.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Near the end of the closing credits, Yuzuko stops, then turns to the camera and waves. Yui and Yukari also stop and look as the scene fades.
* BrokenRecord: Just kidding just slipped out!
** EarWorm
* CameraAbuse: In-universe. Several photos from Yukari's vacation have bugs crawling on the lens.
* CatGirl: The specials give the girls, cat ears and a tail.
* CatSmile: Yuzuko displays one in the first episode when waiting for Yui.
* CensorSteam: Heavily used in episode 1--but only to obscure the name of the school and the name of the class.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Kei for Aikawa. [[http://fabien.li/tvtropes/YUYUSHIKI_08_00.44.jpg Literally clingy.]]
* CloudCuckoolander: Yuzuko and Yukari. Yui acts like this when she's short on sleep.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Yui.
* ClubStub: The Data Processing Club, which went from completely empty to a whole three members when the heroines took the reins.

* ContemplateOurNavels: A surprisingly '''[[MemeticMutation DEEP]]''' one. "What is death?" "[[DeathFlag Will we be able to see our death coming?]]" "Will we be with our dearests in the afterlife?" Fortunately, that episode ended in [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming a highly optimistic note]].
* CouchGag: The objects and people the girls pass by in the anime's credits change in each episode.
* CranialEruption: Sometimes used instead of InstantBandages.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: All three protagonists.
* CutenessProximity: In the first episode, while Yuzuko is waiting for Yui, a cat jumps onto the seat of a motor scooter next to her. She immediately freezes, and tries not to move so as to not frighten it away. Then her nose gets itchy...
* DeadPanSnarker: Yui, who often makes commentaries whenever her friends are goofing around too much.
* DeathFlag: PlayedForLaughs.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Of a familiar variety.]]
-->'''Yui:''' I'm alone in the school. It feels so lonely.
* DisneyCreaturesOfTheFarce: In the flashback, Yukari seems to be a parody of Disney Princesses, including the FriendToAllLivingThings aspect. She's clearly disturbed by the attention the animals give her.
* DitzyGenius: Yui sees Yuzuko as this. She does do well in school, but as Yui points out...
--> '''Yui''', on Yuzuko's {{def|iedtrope}}ying SmartPeopleWearGlasses: *She really is pretty smart. It's her ideas that are dumb.*
* DoubleEntendre: A rather audacious example when Yuzuko and Yukari fantasize about Yui's "delicious little bean."
* DramaticWind / HotWind: In the opening.
* EEqualsMCHammer: In-universe. Yuzuko finds the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeller%27s_congruence Zeller's Congruence]] formula and understands what it does, but due to RuleOfFunny, she can't figure out how to use it.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: The series is already loaded with LesYay, but Yui (idolized by Yukari, Yuzuko, and Aikawa) and Aikawa (idolized by everyone except Yui) are especially popular.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: The smell of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natto Natto]] causes both Yukari and Yuzuko to dream about gorillas, [[MindScrew for some reason.]] Afterward, they start making gorilla puns in their text messages.
* ExpospeakGag: When Yuzuko found out water can be called "oxidane," she made up lines like "pour oxidane on dumplings, then cover," in which both Yui and Yukari found to be scary.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Zig-zagged. While Yukari does open her eyes often, she's also seen with her eyes shut just as much, as shown by the picture for this page.
* FacelessMasses: Averted for this kind of work--non-essential characters were not coloured, but with all the details.
* {{Fanservice}}: Nothing shameful, but there are quite a few shots of the girls' legs and bellies.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Yukari seems to have the ability to attract animals around her.
* GenkiGirl: Yuzuko does this regularly. Yukari does it occasionally, usually when Yuzuko is doing something crazy.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: That "little bean" DoubleEntendre was almost certainly referring to the clitoris...
* GratuitousEnglish: Yuzuko's "Rucky girr!" ("Lucky girl") exclamation. She also says "Wow!" a few times in episode 12.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Aikawa and her friends occasionally interact with the main cast, and we see hints of the conversations they have.
* HimeCut: Yukari, which is fitting to her {{Ojou}} status.
* ImagineSpot: The girls tend to do this often, such as Yukari imagining she's the sun in the first episode, and how her little pinky is Jupiter by comparison.
* InUniverseNickname: Ms Yoriko "Mom" Matsumoto.

** One segment has Yui go into fits of laughter whenever someone says "potato".
** "Bread person" becomes this for Yuzuko in a segment.
* InstantBandages: Often created when Yui whacks one of her friends. In one scene, instead of vanishing offscreen, the spontaneous bandages actually slide off Yuzuko's head when she looks up suddenly.
* LimitedAnimation: Used when the girls first run across the screen during the beginning of the opening song, and again during the ending song while they're walking.
* LoveYouAndEverybody: Yukari's use of "suki" on Yui in episode 5 makes it sound like a homoerotic LoveConfession. That word can mean "like," but if used on people it usually has a romantic connotation. Yui had to explain what is being said there.
* MarshmallowHell: Yukari imagines doing this to Matsumoto-sensei in episode 2.
* {{Meganekko}}: Yuzuko, but she usually doesn't wear her glasses because [[DefiedTrope she doesn't want to]] [[SmartPeopleWearGlasses look too smart]].
* MoodWhiplash: In the same episode that cranks up the existing yuri subtext UpToEleven, Yui and friends also discuss the meaning of death, and how it separates one from one's dearests. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming And then each of them promises to not die while the others are still alive.]]

* {{Ojou}}: Yukari, but she sure doesn't act the part. Yui ''thought'' she was when they first met in the second grade.
* OneGenderSchool: The case studies in one.
* OnlySaneMan: Yui most of the time...
** NotSoAboveItAll: However, she will occasionally join in on the hijinks, or at the very least won't be too obstructive about whatever the other girls are doing.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: According to the recruitment poster, the "Data Processing Club" is supposed to teach computer skills for job hunting. All the heroines do there are lounge around and surf the internet.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Yukari wears this.
* PungeonMaster: Yuzuko. Mochi-vation!
* PuniPlush
* RuleOfPerception: One EyeCatch has Yuzuko prepare to pitch a ball to a bat-wielding Yui, only to unexpectedly pull out a basketball. How she managed to hide it from Yui isn't very clear.
* ShelteredAristocrat: This trope caused young Yui to find having Yukari at her house incredibly embarrassing.
* SchoolgirlSeries
* SenseiChan: Matsumoto, the somewhat spacey English teacher. Yuzuko and Yukari decide to call her "Mom," and the rest of the class soon joins in.
* ShaggyDogStory: A snowflake announces that it is {{God}}, and a miracle will occur if it lands on someone. It floats down, drifts towards the trio... and splats onto the ground.
* ShoutOut: In episode 1, Yuzu shouts "Maunder Minimum!" as if she's using an attack and Yukari says that she's [[Manga/SaintSeiya burning her cosmo]]. Yuzu and Yui don't understand the reference.
** In episode 7, they discuss the eyesight of cats, with Yukari commenting that they must see [[Anime/LupinIIIGreenJacket the Green Jacket version]] very well, and Yuzu adding that "[[Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro Cagliostro]] is the cat's meow!".
* ShrinkingViolet: Aikawa, who wants to make friends with the heroines, but is terrified of approaching them at first. Strangely, she's also the class president.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Yukari, who in her first scene already got her head banged on the outside wall of her BigFancyHouse a few moments after leaving for school.
* SliceOfLife: This show follows the life of Yui, Yuzuko, and Yukari and their everyday antics.
* [[StraightMan Straight Girl]] / OnlySaneWoman: Yui. Aikawa sometimes fills this role, too.
* StupidStatementDanceMix: In-universe with ""Just kidding" just slipped out!" in episode 2.
* TapOnTheHead: {{Lampshaded}}, where Yuzuko states that she is a big fan of this trope. [[BrickJoke She attempts to knock Yui out with a chop to the neck a few episodes later]], only to receive a stern lecture about [[RealityEnsues how the move doesn't work in real life]] and instead [[DontTryThisAtHome can lead to serious injuries]].
* TechnicolorEyes: Yuzuko's red eyes get {{lampshaded}} when they learn that this is an extremely rare color. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Yui and Yukari's yellow and purple eyes, respectively, go unnoticed.]]
* ThanksForTheMammary: Yuzuko does this to Yui in episode 2. Then she has an ImagineSpot where she does it to Matsumoto-sensei.
* ThreesomeSubtext: The relationship between the Yu's are dangerously close to text. Lampshaded by their classmates.
* ThoseTwoGirls: Despite being two of the three protagonists, Yukari and Yuzuko are usually this--they have very similar personalities and tend to carry out their goofy pranks in perfect sync.
** Conversely Chiho Aikawa's two friends fit this role for her side of the story, to the point where they didn't even have names or personality traits. This changes however by episode 6 and 7, where we ''finally'' learn their names (Kei and Fumi) as well as their quirks (with Fumi being the joker of the trio, and Kei wanting to keep Chiho for herself).
* TriangRelations: There seems to be something a Type 9 relationship going between the three main characters, or at least they're ''heading'' in that direction. Yukari and Yuzuko clearly have a thing for Yui, who doesn't seem to be in love with either, but ''does'' proclaim to find both of them very cute. Yukari and Yuzuko don't appear to compete over Yui; in fact, they are often rather affectionate toward each other as well.
* {{Tsundere}}: Yui, Type B personality. Yuzuko and Yukari tend to trigger her more violent reactions.
* TsurimeEyes: Yui, in contrast with [[TaremeEyes most of the cast]].
* TwoTeacherSchool: There are clearly other teachers, but [[SenseiChan Matsumoto]] is the only one who gets any screen time.
* WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: PlayedForLaughs in episode 2. After Yuzuko [[ThanksForTheMammary grabs Yui's chest]], the latter throws a punch which the former barely dodges. Yuzuko then comments that the person throwing a punch is hurt just as much as the one getting hit, so Yui tells her to make a fist. She then proceeds to grab her fist, and makes Yuzuko hit herself repeatedly. Yuzuko promises not to tease Yui again...[[StatusQuoIsGod for a while...]]
* {{Yuri}}: The lesbian subtext becomes less subtle as time goes on. By episode 7 or so, it's pretty much out in the open.
** One EyeCatch eliminates any lingering ambiguity by having Yuzuko and Yukari do an AlmostKiss.
