is a Japanese yonkoma manga series written and illustrated by Yasu Tora. It first appeared in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump as various one-shot chapters from November 2010 to March 2011 and was then regularly serialized in the magazine from July 2011 to September 2014. Shueisha compiles them into four tankōbon volumes. It was adapted into an original net animation (ONA) in 2013. The manga focuses on the adventures of a middle school girl named Fuuka Saitou known for her height and hair that covered her left eye, earning her the nickname "Saipu" (based on cyclopes).
Fuuka Saitou, a middle school student known for her nickname "Saipu", has a brother complex towards her brother Hikaru. The story follows their daily lives as she tries to gain his affection through perverted ways.
Fuuka has several female classmates that she regularly hangs out with: (voiced by Saki Fujita), who wears pigtails, is strongly perverted that her other classmates often ignore her comments; (voiced by Kahoru Sasajima), acts as the straight-man as she retorts Rin's perverted comments; Class Representative, who wears glasses and braids and secretly crushes on Fuuka; and Kamiji, a tall girl with short hair who gives off a cool attitude like a delinquent, but is actually soft-spoken and rather self-conscious.
Other recurring characters include: the Saitou parents, who approve of Fuuka's brother complex; Hikaru's college radio club friends Sato and Suzuki, and their flirtatious president Eri, the last of whom causes Fuuka to be extremely jealous; their cousins Akari and Souta Haruno, who conspire to split them apart; and their neighbors the Yamakuras.
