Locodol (Futsū no Joshik�sei ga Locodol Yattemita) is a Yonkoma comedy manga written and drawn by K�tar� Kosugi, which was serialized in Manga 4-koma Palette from 2011 to 2022. An anime adaptation was produced by Studio Feel, which aired in the summer of 2014. Two OVAs were subsequently released; the first was broadcast in September 2014, and the second was a Christmas Episode that aired on Christmas Eve.Nanako Usami is approached by her uncle to become a local idol, or "Locodol", in order to help revitalise Nagarekawa when it begins to experience a decline in tourism. An ordinary high school student, Nanako is initially unsure as to whether or not she would be able to fulfil this task. She's partnered with upperclassman Yukari Kohinata to form the idol unit, Nagarekawa Girls, and with Yukari's encouragement, Nanako agrees to help her uncle out. Yui Mikoze, who acts as the local mascot, and Mirai Nazukari, who serves as Yui's substitute, later join the Nagarekawa Girls. Together, the girls use their talents to promote Nagarekawa, taking on the responsibility of bringing their hometown out of its economic slump and generating excitement in their region's specialities amongst travellers to put Nagarekawa back on the map.

Dying Town: While Nagarekawa's economy appears to be faring reasonably well, the town's declining tourism sector leads Nanako's uncle to create the idea of local idols to boost community morale and encourage visitors.

Verbal Tic: Nanako stutters when she gets nervous and consequently, ends up with the nickname "Nanyako". Yui appends "~su" to her sentences, even those that normally don't end with "-desu".

Older Than They Look: Yui, the person inside the Uogokoro-kun costume, is actually in her third year. Not only is she shorter than either Nanako and Yukari, but she also looks much younger than them.

Evolving Credits: The ending credits change as the Nagarekawa Girls gains members. Initially, only Nanako and Yukari are present. Yui and Uogokoro-kun accompany them after episode three, and Mirai joins the others following her introduction in episode seven.

Masquerading As the Unseen: In a gentler version of this trope, Mirai is brought in to act as the backup Uogokoro-kun when demands for the character are too much for Yui to handle alone.

Luminescent Blush: Yui goes into a meltdown whenever Nanako gets too close. Apparently this happens all the time when she's with other people, which is why rather than become an idol, Yui prefers to do her performances inside costumes instead.

Worth It: During the second half of episode nine, Yukari has a flashback to when she had been dismissed from her job for leaving her post to help a lost child. For the consequences, Yukari felt that having helped the child was worth her while, even if she did get fired in the process.

Indy Ploy: While their live performances usually open smoothly, events outside of their control sometimes forces Nanako and Yukari to improvise. In the first episode, Nanako's embarrassment precludes her from singing, but encouragement from Yukari leads them to eventually sing Nagarekawa's anthem. In the third episode, an unexpected shower prompts Nanako to strip down to the swimsuit that she was wearing under her idol outfit, inspiring Yukari to do the same.
