A common device for a series opening or Establishing Character Moment. Things begin in a frantic rush which usually results in taking shortcuts, such as eating breakfast on the run. The classic image is of someone running down the street with a slice of toast hanging out of their mouth, dragging their backpack with one hand while trying to put on their jacket or sweater one-handed with the other, bumping into important people in a manner that gets the plot started. Basically, they're never on time for school. While some are Heavy Sleepers, it would appear that they may have simply set their alarm clocks so as to give them insufficient time to get to class. The most common, yet hilarious subversion of this trope is when the character remembers at the last second that it’s a weekend, making their efforts moot. In manga and anime, this is associated with the Shoujo (girl's) genre, where the original intent was to establish the protagonist as cute but clumsy, or give her a minor flaw (in Japan, there is a stigma against eating in public). It has been overused to the point of becoming a Discredited Trope; Japanese "How to Become a Shoujo Manga-ka" books specifically advise against using this trope, and manga even lampshade how much of a cliche it is. It is often paired with Crash-Into Hello. On the other hand, given the above, this trope has become so strongly associated with the poorly executed silly Romantic Comedy that now it can often be found in the parody of the genre, especially during the dreams of the characters about the ideal romance. It's also Truth in Television, as any teenager/parent/college student will tell you. Compare Easing into the Adventure, Good Morning, Crono. |

Tamagotchi: In episode 114, Mametchi arrives late for school after having overslept and is promptly told by the teacher, Ms. Perfect, to be careful next time. It's conveniently timed so that Himespetchi, a New Transfer Student to Tamagotchi School, sees Mametchi and immediately falls in love with him, too. | |

World Conquest Zvezda Plot: Itsuka goes undercover as a student at Asuta's school and plays up the cliche by showing up to school late, complete with toast in mouth. However, she's still carrying her katana and wearing her skull-and-bones Eyepatch of Power, making her acting completely incongruous with her image. | |

Azumanga Daioh: Yukari-sensei's immature and irresponsible nature is suggested when she is Late For School in the very first scene. She then compounds this by flying into a rage, stealing a helpful student's bicycle (when he stops to fix hers, no less), and reporting to the wrong homeroom. Tomo, of course, is even later. "Yukari's here already?" In the anniversary manga chapters, one section opens with Osaka leaving for school and one of her parents asking off-screen if she will be late. Osaka is definitely Not a Morning Person. |

Played with in Marginal #4. Atom is running to school because he's late, and almost has a Crash-Into Hello with a blue-haired boy in the same uniform. When he gets to school, he tells L and R that Rui, the fourth member of their group, will be transferring to their school because Atom saw someone who looked like him from behind, and that's how it happens in shoujo manga (to which L responds, does that mean Atom will be falling in love?). And of course, the transfer student isn't Rui — but Rui transferred to their school a week ago and just didn't tell them. | |

Prétear: Himeno Awayuki is Late For School at the beginning of the series, and attempts to take a shortcut. Depending on which adaptation you are following, she either wanders close to Leafenia and meets Shin, or has a rather violent encounter with Hayate; in both cases, this eventually leads to her being recruited as the titular Magical Girl. | |

Vividred Operation: Occurs in the third episode, sans toast. This one is actually justified by the plot: protagonist Akane Isshiki has a morning paper route before school, but the chaos from the initial Alone attack the previous day meant that the papers arrived late that morning, throwing her schedule off. She resorts to flying to school in her Palette Suit and ends up crashing into Wakaba, setting up her introductory episode. | |

Doraemon has a frequently-used Running Gag, with Nobita oversleeping on a regular basis and needing to run to school to avoid being late - and constantly failing. Why didn't Doraemon just use the Anywhere Door to teleport Nobita over isn't really addressed in the series. | |

Cat Planet Cuties: Invoked when Antonia transfers to the main characters' school. She arrives late with a piece of toast in her mouth (as do her two adult maids/bodyguards) because she'd seen the trope in so many shojo manga, she thought it was a Japanese custom for transfer students to show up their first day with Toast of Tardiness. | |

Our Miss Brooks: Miss Brooks is late for school a couple of times. It's Serious Business because she's a teacher! In "The Party Line", Miss Brooks is too late to catch the city bus to school. Walter Denton tried to warn her that his car was in the shop, but her chatty party line neighbor had the phone tied up. In "Wake-Up Plan", Miss Brooks sleeps in and misses half a day of school. Mrs. Davis had accidentally given Miss Brooks a sleeping pill instead of an aspirin. In The Movie Grand Finale Walter Denton is late for English class. He nearly barrels over Mr. Conklin running through the hall. He arrives just in time to tell Harriet the drive shaft from his car fell out . . . then the bell rings and the class ends. |

Green Lantern (2011): After Hal Jordan wakes up with a woman in his bed, realizes he has to get to work with very little time to do so before being late and rushes out quickly. Even with the pace he makes, he doesn't avoid the inevitable. When filming the Nostalgia Critic First Viewing, Doug Walker instantly got angry that this trope was being used again and in the actual NC review, he even makes reference to Back to the Future while playing "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News.note The music part has since been removed due to copyright, but the reference still remains with NC imitating Marty while saying "Doc, I'm late for school!" | |

This occurs in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon without the toast. At the start of the game, you meet your partner for the second time when your partner runs, being late for school. They crash into you, and while your partner is okay, you eventually faint. When you come to, this is when you meet Audino, the nurse, who tells you that your partner was responsible for making you faint. | |

In a later episode, Jaden's already late for class (he sleeps through his alarm clock), so he decides to stop and help a woman push her van to the school. That woman runs the card shop and later gives Jaden a special pack of cards as thanks for helping her. |

After her reluctant adventures, she wakes up, looks at the clock, finds out she's late, grabs a piece of toast, passes a skateboarding bunny girl...and the stories repeat. In the massive CLAMP crossover Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-, there's an alternate Miyuki in almost every world the gang goes to before Tokyo. |

Gin from Washio Sumi Is a Hero is always late for school and other activities as well. In her case, it's not because she gets up late. Gin often helps with her younger brothers and she also suffers from a need to help everyone she sees that's in trouble. | |

The Powerpuff Girls are assigned to track down twin brothers Lloyd and Floyd (story "Tardy Boys," issue #56, DC run), who are late for school because they have spring fever. The girls are successful in curing the boys of spring fever but the story concludes with the girls being late themselves. | |

Wandering Son: The protagonist of the manga has this occur for non-traditional reasons. Nitori and her sister were going to their first day at their new school when Nitori's teacher crashed into Maho. This caused Nitori to be somewhat late for school, her sister to be absent, and their teacher to be late. Not a big deal is made of it however it does lead to Nitori going to her sister's classroom and being 'mistaken' for a girl. | |

My Heavenly Hockey Club: Hana is such a Heavy Sleeper that she studied as hard as she possibly could so she could go to the prestigious school 200 meters down the street from her house and sleep as long as possible. She still manages to be late and "runs" (actually, sleepwalks) to school with bread in her mouth, and is subsequently hit by the car driving the male lead to school. | |

Pretty Cure: Nozomi in Yes! Pretty Cure 5, on multiple occasions (including in the opening credits). Seems to be related to her nonexistent attention span. Miyuki pulls this off in the first episode of Smile Pretty Cure! and is how the Call to Adventure meets her. Takes her a while to accept the call, though. |

This is a major part of the premise of the What A Cartoon! Show short "Tumbleweed Tex: School Daze", where the titular outlaw objects to a wanted poster of him saying he is late for school, then realizes to his mortification that he actually is late for school. | |

K-On!: Yui is running late to her first day of high school at the beginning of the first episode, complete with Toast of Tardiness. It's then subverted when she realizes that she's actually one hour early. She proceeds to do the same thing in the first episode of the second season as well, although that time it isn't shown, as the episode begins with her sitting in the club room with a piece of bread, waiting for the others to arrive. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: In the first episode, Kagurazaka Asuna is running late on the way to class and bumps into the title character. The same scene before Asuna shows that the whole freaking school are late for their classes. Happens a lot in the manga. Setsuna lampshades it at least once, when she notes that Asuna ends up sprinting to class even though she isn't late. |

Lampshaded in Durarara!!. Mikado is telling his friend Kida about rescuing a girl, and Kida responds by noting how much that is an anime cliché, and then cites a list of anime clichés, including this one: "This could only make more sense if you were also Late For School...Oh! And if she was also a New Transfer Student. Also if she turned out to be a queen and your childhood friend! That would be awesome. Are you getting how I'm being sarcastic here?" | |

Sailor Moon begins with main character Usagi Tsukino waking up late and running to school when she sees a bunch of kids teasing Luna. She rescues Luna from the kids, which makes her even more late, but this sets up Luna granting her the power of Sailor Moon later on. It's not just the first episode, either—Usagi being late is a Running Gag. | |

Deadpool: Eleanor Preston / Camacho is a minor example in one story-line. Ellie hates her new school and doesn't like going as she always has problems with other kids. At one point, she tells Deadpool she doesn't wanna go, and that she's just gonna be late again because it's rush hour. Deadpool solves the problem by driving on the sidewalk, where it's never rush hour. | |

You and Me: When the boys are making a manga for a club project, they decide on a fantasy adventure. When Chizuru draws a page, they're surprised to see the genre completely changed and the protagonist is now a schoolboy. In the first panel, he is late for school with toast in his mouth. One of the characters sarcastically states that running with bread in your mouth seems pretty adventurous. | |
