In a certain Health and Welfare Department of a certain government office at a certain city in Hokkaido, three newcomers join its ranks as civil servants. They are Lucy (etc.) Yamagami, Saya Miyoshi and Yutaka Hasebe, each of them with distinct and colourful personalities. Now they must confront the perils of their work, be it its mundaneness, or the irate public, or perhaps... even amongst themselves?Servant × Service is a Work Com Yonkoma by Karino Takatsu, the creator of Wagnaria!!. It was serialized from 2007 to 2014, though it moved between magazines (starting in Zoukan Young Gangan, then moving to Zoukan Young Gangan Big in 2011, and finally to Monthly Big Gangan from 2011 until its conclusion). An anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures aired in the summer of 2013. The manga is licensed by Yen Press in North America and all 4 volumes have been released as a digital-first release in November 2015. | |

Bridal Carry | |
| Servant × Service (Manga) / int_187228e0 | comment |
Bridal Carry Yutaka lifted drunk, passed-out Lucy to his sister's house in this way in episode 5. When Miyoshi fell asleep from a sip of wine during their date in episode 11, Jyoji carried her this way, presumably back to Miyoshi's home. She makes a comment about the implication, but Jyoji doesn't catch it. | |

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The opening and ending themes are sung by Ai Kayano, Mai Nakahara and Aki Toyosaki, in-character as Lucy, Miyoshi and Chihaya, respectively. Interestingly, the ending theme in the series has three variants, with Lucy singing for the first four episodes, followed by Miyoshi for the next four and then Chihaya for the four after that. | |

Unsettling Gender-Reveal: In the beginning of episode 5, Yamagami woke up from being drunk and saw a woman that looked suspiciously like her coworker Yutaka Hasebe next to her. The latter then said she was indeed Hasebe and asked Yamagami to hide it from their coworkers, causing the latter to go Blue with Shock. As it turned out, it was subverted. Hasebe brought Yamagami to his sister Kaoru's apartment, and it was Kaoru who was sleeping next to Yamagami—and messing with Yamagami for fun. | |

Wardrobe Malfunction: A skit in episode 3 was about Lucy having all the hooks on her bra broken, and how her coworkers resolved the issue while tiptoeing around the issue itself. Eventually Yutaka claimed Lucy had a fever because of her blush and should "go back to rest;" the others immediately got the hint. Fanservice was never intended. | |

Inconsistent Spelling | |
| Servant × Service (Manga) / int_66c725b6 | comment |
Inconsistent Spelling: The anime uses different Japanese Romanization schemes inconsistently for the two names that were romanized on screen. Touko was shown on-screen as "Tohko," which uses so-called "passport Hepburn." On the other hand, Jyoji, whose name appeared on-screen on a business card, is in the unofficial wapuro which should not have been used in such a situation. Fans alternatively use "Jouji", which is not correct either. Strictly speaking, the name is "Joji" in Hepburn, and "Zyoji" in Kunrei-shiki. | |

Dysfunction Junction | |
| Servant × Service (Manga) / int_820ac3c5 | comment |
Dysfunction Junction: Much like Wagnaria!!, its spiritual predecessor, the story's staple comedy runs on the trivial personal insecurities of every character. The insecurities include: Lucy: She became a civil servant to get revenge for her ridiculous first name actually having been approved. Yutaka: For a person who has been able to excel in anything without much effort, his inability to get the girl (immediately). Saya: All her "regrets" in the past. Megumi: Frustration her boyfriend isn't more open. Taishi: His very generalized lack of self-confidence. | |

Hypocritical Humor: In Episode 1, after a customer complains about how civil servants are sloppy, Yamagami snaps and begins ranting vociferously against civil servants as well, shocking everybody else, including the customer herself. In Episode 8, Lucy, when eating out with Yutaka, wonders if Yutaka's having nutrition problems if he's always eating out. Yutaka says he can cook, be chooses not to do it as it's lonely—then asks about how Lucy cooks. Turns out what Lucy eats at home is pure starch. | |

Break Them by Talking | |
| Servant × Service (Manga) / int_bf110089 | comment |
Break Them by Talking In Episode 2, Touko demonstrates her fearsome reputation in the office as a health and welfare maniac by breaking Ichimiya with her words. However, her attempts to break the trio fail hilariously due to various reasons: Miyoshi in turn breaks Touko at the end of the episode by telling the latter she is obstructing the office's normal business and does nothing to express her Big Brother Worship. | |

Show Within a Show | |
| Servant × Service (Manga) / int_c2393191 | comment |
Show Within a Show: Magical Flowers, a Magical Girl series which bears more than a few similarities to HeartCatch Pretty Cure!. Its five protagonists' color schemes also bring to mind Puella Magi Madoka Magica, while one of them, Rose Black, looks like a recolored and redesigned Blue Rose. | |

It Runs in the Family | |
| Servant × Service (Manga) / int_c63e5338 | comment |
It Runs in the Family / Strong Family Resemblance: Hasebe's older sister Kaoru looks exactly the same as him, making Lucy confused on a Bedmate Reveal in Episode 5. Later she mentions that everyone in their family is a civil servant, all of who share the same carefree personality. And to them, Hasebe's personality is considered tame. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Servant × Service (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Hasebe recognizes Magical Flowers as a Video Game, and goes on to list the games he played: Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Pokémon, Mario Kart, Tokimeki Memorial, AIR, and Fate/stay night. He also has a copy of Senran Kagura in episode 5. The Quiz at the end of Episode 7 featured Hasebe, Ichimiya, Jouji and Kenzou posing Free!-style. In the Episode 12 we see that among the cosplay outfits Chihaya prepared is the military uniform from Attack on Titan, as well as the trademark white sundress of Menma and the school uniform of the Monogatari series. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: A pink stuffed bunny is seen on the desk of the strangely-absent manager during the first three episodes. It is only during Episode 4 that we learn that the bunny is actually the manager's virtual proxy, and that he uses it to communicate from home. | |

Throw the Book at Them | |
| Servant × Service (Manga) / int_e2de05e8 | comment |
Throw the Book at Them: Yamagami's favoured method of attacking Hasebe whenever he gets on her nerves. In fact, this is invoked! In the manga, when Ichimiya complains about Yamagami attacking people with work documents, she replies there's only waste paper in those folders; she deliberately prepared those folders to hit people with. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: At the end of episode 12, Yutaka came back to the office and did not slack at all. The other staff found it weird and questioned him. Turns out there is some serious business—his father is the person who approved Lucy's Overly Long Name, i.e. the person his girlfriend wants to take revenge on. | |

Moment Killer: Repeatedly attempted when Jyoji, Touko and the section manager all appeared at the wrong time just as Hasebe was trying to ask Lucy out in episode 13. The trio were (forcefully) escorted away by Miyoshi, Ichimiya and Chihaya though before any damage could be done. | |
