Azumanga Daioh: Sakaki achieved her status by coincidence, because of her beauty, her natural athleticism, and her perceived reticence.Ai Ore! Love Me! features Akira, the "Princess" of the all-boys High School he attends and his girlfriend Mizuki, the "Prince" of the all-girls school she attends.See also Teen Idol, and compare Big Man on Campus and Class Princess for more gender specific versions. Not to be confused with the characters in the Love Live! franchise, which features competing high school Idol Singer clubs, who are also referred to in universe as "School Idols". A possibly helpful distinction: is the student an idol (as in, are they idolized?), or "merely" wildly popular? While the notion of "most popular student(s)" exists in the standard Western High School setting as well, Alpha Bitches and Jerk Jocks are generally portrayed in a much less positive light, and as such rarely have a similar cult of personality to the school idol. This trope is frequent in Japanese media, where the character is often an Ojou, functioning as something of a School Princess. Storywise, if the school idol is a secondary character, they are likely to be a Love Interest, most likely in a Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy setting if they're the main character, the story usually revolves around their struggles to keep up the perfect facade.
