I'm not trying to speculate on the author's sources of inspiration, especially since the boys vs. girls theme isn't exactly new. But in this time and place, I can't help but think that the idea of mixing a male baka shonen school and a female ideal oujo-sama school feels like a spiritual collaboration of these two titles. Especially considering the themes of girls' fear of men or the natural silliness of guys in the mentioned works. I could also remember the more "boys will be boys" show "Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou", but there the boys went to a co-ed school. Perhaps the events of the anime (or the original manga) will somehow emphasize or refute this vibe?

There is little to none delinquents stuff in the series, so I will say it is just the use of the 'dumb' boy group trope.

@Cielord Well, from what I can see from the first two episodes, MC pretty much plays the "evil and scary delinquent who's actually a kind and caring guy on the inside" archetype.

After 1 episode I went and read the entire manga. I struggled a lot, because is NOT good, but I figured it out why people would like it: is just like a "battle shonen", it over explains everything, but instead of fighting screaming their feelings, they apologize a lot back and forth.

Is like if a grandma made a story for her grandchildren.

Literally nothing to do with delinquents. Don't compare this to cringes like wind breaker.

Wow, you really live for discourse, heh? Who the fuck in the right mind would make such wild comparison?

I'm pretty much fully caught up on the manga. There is nothing similar to Wind Breaker in this story, it's essentially just a wholesome romance story. Basically it, ngl. It is peak, though

I think I need to clarify once again that I made the comparison with Windbreaker because of the all-male school and its silly baka students, and not because of attempts to look for violence in anime.

@RobertBobert except he isn't a delinquent. If anything he more closely resembles Miyamura from Horimiya. In all honesty the manga reminds me of Horimiya with more drama and none of Kyouko's masochistic tendencies. Its still good though

@baymaxemon I know, I'm asking what exactly you meant in your question. Why am I comparing this or what is the show itself about?

@billybub Did Miyamura have a problem with false appearance? It seems more like Bokutachi's MC to me.

@RobertBobert my question was what/who is this "Maria-sama". Is she a character from a certain anime (or something else)? Or something entirely different? (I know Wind Breaker is an anime/manga)

@baymaxemon It's short for the cult yuri media franchise that essentially created yuri as we know it today as reboot of Class S (a passionate female friendship series set in an all-girls school) for modern audiences.
