Plot

Happy Hustle High follows the exploits of Hanabi Ozora. Hanabi is an assertive 16-year-old who protects her less assertive friends. The all-girls school that Hanabi attends, Uchino High School, is merged with Meibi High School, an all-boys school. Once there, Hanabi meets Yasuaki Garaku, a student council member who is also a surfer. Yasuaki expresses the fact that he has no interest in girls. When the Girls' council and the Boys' council start to fight, Hanabi jumps in, hoping that she can convince Yasuaki to change his mind.

Reception

Jason Thompson wrote for Manga: The Complete Guide that is similar to an American teen film and "is a sweet, slapstick series with a great heroine ... The plot is fast-paced, the characters are extroverted, and the art is pleasantly cartoony".
