Bad Girl

High school first year Yuu Yuutani has always been a good girl, following the rules, helping out around her house, and generally going through life unnoticed. From afar, she reveres her upperclassman and the school's Public Decency Officer, Atori Mizutori, and desperately wants her attention. When she realizes that the best way to get Atori to notice her is to be a delinquent, she begins to dress differently: she dyes parts of her hair a bright red, wears clips on her ears to resemble piercings, and attaches jumbo erasers to her shoes to give them thicker soles.

Despite Yuu's best efforts and even with the advice of her "natural born delinquent" friend Suzu Suzukaze, all of her plans to be a bad girl go awry. Still, Yuu manages to befriend Atori and pledges to spend as much time as possible together, not knowing there are others vying for Atori's attention. In the process, Yuu has also gained the attention of the school's self-proclaimed idol, Rura Ruriha, filling her once-invisible life with more attention than she may be able to handle.

Summer 2025 offered us two flavors of bat shit crazy lesbian harems in Bad Girl and Watanare. Both are incredible and I love them for different reasons. Watanare is quite a bit more serious, while the entire Bad Girl cast just share one brain cell and it revolves around Yuu and Atori senpai. This show was so over the top and ridiculous, but it had a heart of gold just like the characters. Being written by one of my fave mangaka in Nikumaru, it had a lot of his staples, fanservice, ntr vibes, cute girls and designs and a nonsensical plot that you can’t ... help but get addicted to consuming. That might not be for everyone, but that is the ideal combination of tropes and themes in my seasonal gag comedy. 12 weeks of this blew by and I will miss it very much.

The longer this series went on, the more ridiculous it became with crazier antics and characters being introduced. What started as Yuu going after the senpai she has a crush on(and is obsessed with) becomes everyone going after Yuu while she’s too oblivious to realize her growing fanclub. This isn’t a series you watch for actual character development, it’s very much a gag of the week show where Yuu tries to find new ways to get closer to Attori. Honestly, I don’t love Yuu as an MC. She’s cute and there’s a ton of funny moments with her, but the way she treats Suzu and later Ruu just annoyed me. I know Nikumaru sensei has an NTR kink and while this isn’t an erotica/sexual, it’s hard seeing a good girl(pun intended) like Suzu consistently getting screwed over. Maybe it’s my fault for taking a comedy series too seriously, but that’s my one issue with the story. That aside, this was a good old fashioned turn your brain off and have fun romcom that’s unapologetically gay as hell. The cast in this were brilliant, Suzu was my favorite character, but I was also a big fan of Ru and Kiyoraka.

Do NOT come into this one expecting character growth or anything substantive. It’s a comedy manga with a decent amount of fanservice and characters being dumb as hell. I think it mixed things up every episode just enough to not get repetitive, but it’s very much a what you see in episode 1 is what you get throughout type of show. I will never complain about more yuri, especially not complaining about more yuri HAREMS, so this was peak to me. The comedy also landed very well. The majority of the sketches were genuinely funny as hell and made the episodes go by so quickly because of how everything’s broken in 2-3 sections!

I’m a huge Nikumaru fan and I love his art style so seeing it finally adapted in anime format was awesome. The show looks great, the girls look great and the production quality is solid here. Again, nothing to blow you away, but good enough for a gag comedy like this.

As a yuri fan I have been fed very well these last couple of seasons and while it might not have a strong story and linear progression, Bad Girl is a very enjoyable and memorable comedy series that I will certainly be continuing in manga format. I’ll miss these girls and their antics a lot.

Bad Girl gets 8 Atori senpai pillows out of 10

Mixed Feelings

Bad Girl is a Lesbian Harem comedy with a premise that is shallow if not abandoned after the first episode. The comedy is absurd & subtle with gags, references, exaggerations, reactions, fan service & suggestive or provocative moments built from the main character idolizing the disciplinary leader.

One could describe Bad Girl as cute girls doing cute things but all the characters are rarely on screen together & the interactions are on the ecchi side of things with undeveloped romance behind the comedy.

The main character of Yuu & the associated humour will make or break your experience as she is the driving force behind all elements. ... Her pathetic antics weigh thin at times as the praising, nose bleeding, devoted actions & screams become noticeably repetitive to the point the comedy shatters. The same can be said for the entire cast but due to their screen time & interactions changing per grouping the impact is minimal.

When it's not heavy on the ecchi & the fanaticism there are calm sequences spread throughout the episodes that act as stop gaps providing a change of pace before returning to the usual antics. Episode 5 in particular is a good example as they learn to ride a bike without perversion while remaining fun.

Each character has their own traits and the dynamics feel natural. Atori is a model student with an airhead but also a wolf in sheep's clothing, Suzu is the closely attached tsundere best friend (most interesting character), Rura is the self obsessed idol, Mizuka is a reflection of Yuu with a sister complex, Sumiki is the sadist(?) lesbian and that's about it outside of random characters.

I would best describe the experience as the discord message that's shared on the internet; “do you think that just because you're lesbian it makes that sentence any less pathetic”. It’s fun at times but also quite sad if taken beyond the surface. There is no overarching progression or story, just their hijinks and us learning about them.

Your experience with the comedy will vary depending on your preferences & consumed media but ultimately I found it's nothing to write home about outside of having a cast of lesbians but that might be what you want.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Atori-senpai is really damn annoying and I hate how obsessed Yuu is with her.

I thought this would be kind of yandere yuri deal, but instead it's just a really annoying slow burn that constantly explodes. Yuu is so fucking stupid and it's beyond obvious to Atori-senpai that she has a crush on her, but since she's got a sadistic side she's just toying around with her and leading her on. That combined with how smug she is all the time really makes me dislike her as she's presented as this perfect girl that's instantly beloved by everyone. I cannot stand characters like this because it ... feels like the author expects the audience to instantly fall in love too without any effort to actually make the character interesting, a writer's pet essentially.

The premise and title also kinda lies to you from the start, Yuu is not actually a "bad girl". Like at all. A delinquent and goodie two shoes dynamic would've been great but that is just not happening between the two. Atori is a bit of a sadist but still presented as overall perfect and Yuu is a simp with about as much personality as bread. Everything (from what I've watched so far) revolves around Atori-senpai for her.

It's so annoying, especially since Suzu is so much hotter.

Would not reccomend.
