Stop!! Hibari-kun!

Stop!! Hibari-kun! (ストップ!! ひばりくん!) is a gag manga by Hisashi Eguchi. Later, it was adapted into an anime by the same name.

It ran in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1981-1983, when Eguchi decided to stop the series. Jump Comics has released all four volumes in Tankōbon (book) form. In 1983, Toei Animation made an anime series which ran on Fuji TV from 1983-1984.

The title is a reference to Hisashi Sekiya's "Stop Onii-chan".

Plot
A boy named Kousaku Sakamoto's mother has just died, and in her will she requests that Kousaku go and live with her friend Ibari Ohzora, who is a yakuza. He meets Ibari's four beautiful daughters, but the prettiest (Hibari) happens to have been born be a boy. Hibari falls in love with Kohsaku, and despite Kousaku showing some obvious uncertainties when he found out, it's obvious he fell for her as well.

Oozora Group

 * Kousaku Sakamoto
 * Kousaku is the protagonist of the series at times, though it's important to remember Hibari is just as much. Kousaku's a notably average(not to say he's not likeable- he is) boy from Kyushu, but is weak when it comes to girls.


 * Hibari Oozora
 * Hibari i as a girl, though she was born a boy, she expresses time and time again that she is not one. Hibari is Oozora's third eldest daughter, though he refers to her as his eldest son. Having both beauty and wit, she's the idol of her school. (As an interesting aside, Majima, Hibari's seiyuu, would later marry Furuya, the seiyuu for Hibari's love interest, Kousaku, in 1985. She retired from voice acting following the wedding.)


 * Ibari Oozora
 * The father of Hibari and the head of the Oozora Group. He expects Hibari to take over the group, and worries about the group's future with Hibari's eccentric ways. He was in love with Kousaku's mother. He is "haunted" by the White Crocodile curse.


 * Tsugumi Oozora
 * The eldest daughter, Tsugumi is a motherly figure to her family. She is a novice illustrator.


 * Tsubame Oozora
 * The second daughter, Tsubame is two years older than Hibari. With the exception of hairstyle, she is almost identical to Hibari. She often pretends to be Hibari to get her by health inspections and the like.


 * Suzume Oozora
 * The youngest daughter, Suzume is an elementary school student. Not much to say about her as she doesn't have much development.


 * Sabu
 * A young man of the Oozora group. He is in love with Tsugumi.


 * Seiji
 * A member of Oozora with a scary face, but a faint heart. He scares Kousaku awake in the mornings.
