Upotte!!

Upotte!! (うぽって!!) is a Japanese manga series by Kitsune Tennouji which began serialization in July 2009. An original net animation (ONA) series by Xebec was streamed on Nico Nico Douga and Crunchyroll between April and June 2012. The series started airing on Japanese television in July 2012.

Its title comes from reverse-spelling of 鉄砲 (Teppou; gun(s)).

The series takes place at a school known as Seishou Academy. Unlike an average school, all the students are actually personifications of guns, training to one day become a useful weapon, and is divided up into elementary school (submachine guns), middle school (assault rifles & shotguns), and high school (battle rifles & sniper rifles). They are capable of drawing the weapons they represent from out of thin air and using them, and any student or his/her manifested gun can suffer from any gun-related problem the other might have. All students in Seishou train to shoot their target (literally) using live ammunition. The series mainly focuses on an FN FNC assault rifle nicknamed Funco and her friends with their human teacher.

The original manga by Kitsune Tennouji began serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Young Ace magazine from July 4, 2009, before moving over to Shōnen Ace from June 2011. To promote the manga, Kadokowa uploaded a short video on its YouTube account in June 2009.

A 4-Koma sideseries entitled "Upotte Nano" ran in 4-Koma Nano Ace from 2011 to 2013, when the magazine folded.

As of 2023, 14 volumes were published. Kitsune Tennouji previously disclosed on his Twitter account in July 2023 that the manga would end after the 17th volume.

In October 2017, a new manga spin-off Upotte!! Sisters was uploaded on the Young Ace UP digital manga platform. The story follows the perspective of a super-tall (190 cm) Lisa Browning and super-chibi Julia when they transfer schools.

An original net animation series by Xebec was streamed on Nico Nico Douga and Crunchyroll between April 8, 2012, and June 9, 2012, also streaming on the Anime Network from May 9, 2012. A television broadcast of the series began on July 4, 2012, through TOKYO MX and other TV stations throughout Japan.
