The Story of “Bad Girl”: A Delinquent in Training
The “Bad Girl” anime is based on Nikumaru’s school comedy manga, which began serialization in December 2020 in Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara Carat magazine. The narrative centers on Yu Yutani, a seemingly perfect first-year high school student with excellent grades and attendance. Despite her good-natured demeanor, Yu develops an intense admiration for Atori Mizutori, the esteemed head of the school’s student disciplinary committee.
In a comical attempt to gain Atori’s attention and affection, Yu decides to shed her “good girl” image and embrace a “wicked delinquent” persona. Her efforts, however, often lead to humorous misadventures as her inherent kindness struggles against her desire to appear rebellious. She even takes advice from her “natural born delinquent” friend Suzu Suzukaze to achieve her goal.
