A Channel is a Japanese Seinen yonkoma by bb Kuroda. This Schoolgirl Series is about the daily high school life of Run and her violently-protective Childhood Friend, Tooru, who is acrimonious towards Run's friends Yuuko and Nagi.The manga was serialized in Manga Time Kirara Carat from 2008 to 2021, with eleven volumes released. An anime adaptation by Studio Gokumi (the first anime produced by the studio) started airing in April 2011, with two Original Video Animation episodes named A Channel +smile released on early 2012. There's also a prequel manga, A Channel ~days in junior high school~, which is... well, the story of how Run and Tooru met and their life in junior high school. It started serializing in Manga Time Kirara Carino from January 2012.Not to be confused with Special A or A-Channel (the former name of Canadian TV network CTV Two or of fellow Canadian network Citytv in some areas of Western Canada).

Happy Rain: Kito-senser's sentimenal Imagine Spot of the protagonist quartet on a rainy day when they forgot to bring umbrellas. However reality isn't that kind - but looks hilarious nevertheless.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: There's a growing consensus that the anime ending qualifies. Tooru realizes that there is going to be a time, coming very soon, that she will still be in High School but the other 3 will be either in the workforce or at College — either way, not in her life anymore. She resolves to make the most of the last year they have together.

Shout-Out
 A Channel (Manga) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: In the third episode of the anime, Nagi shouts "'They're not panties, so it's not embarrassing?'! It sure as heck is!" In episode 8, when the girls talk about hiccups, Tooru states that it takes a hit to the stomach to cure them. And in the same episode, it's not hard to sense a connection between Kito's poem notebook and Yukari's love letter. In episode 11, Nagi is suitably freaked out when she finds Run's notebook full of names. Might be a coincidence, but after Run asks to use Nagi's glasses as a magnifying glass, Nagi (again) declares, "What the hell do you think glasses are?!" Nagi joking that her glasses are just for show, because if she takes them off she can see... death? Rum Raisin ice cream!

Sarcasm Failure: Nagi has no words when Run freaks out ("Who are you?") over Nagi's letting her hair down. This despite Nagi having jokingly done the same thing not one full minute before.

Sparkling Stream of Tears: Nagi and Yuuko try to sneak past an overenthusiastic teacher trying to get students hyped up for the school day, but Yuuko is caught and dragged into spirited shouting. Nagi continues on without her, silently apologizing for abandoning her and shedding some sparkling tears.

Pet the Dog: Tooru is fond of small animals and children, often giving kids candy. Also she is a great help in the classroom. She finds Yutaka annoying, but she's perfectly fine with showing the girl her notes or helping her with problems. She even feels lonely when Miho drags Yutaka away, which sends her into an impromptu identity crisis. Shown more in the Manga, but Tooru is shown on a couple of occasions to like Yuuko.
