Where it came from
Cheeky Brat, originally titled Namaiki Zakari in Japan, is a celebrated shojo manga series written and illustrated by Miyuki Mitsubachi. Serialized in the magazine Hana to Yume from 2013 to 2021, the story centers on Yuki Machida, the manager of a high school basketball team, and her complicated dynamic with a talented but arrogant younger player named Shou Naruse. The series emerged during a period when the 'tsundere' trope and sports-romance hybrid genres were highly popular among adolescent readers.
Miyuki Mitsubachi crafted the series with a focus on character growth, moving beyond standard romantic tropes to explore the maturity and professional aspirations of its protagonists. The visual style is characterized by expressive, clean lines typical of modern shojo aesthetics, with a particular emphasis on the kinetic energy of basketball scenes. Upon release, it was widely praised for its consistent narrative quality and the refreshing evolution of the relationship between the lead characters, eventually becoming one of the best-selling series in the Hana to Yume catalog.
