High School Debut (Japanese: 高校デビュー, Hepburn: Kōkō Debyū) is a shōjo romance manga by Kazune Kawahara (河原 和音, Kawahara Kazune). It was serialized in Japan by Shueisha in Bessatsu Margaret from 2003 to 2008 and collected in 13 bound volumes. The series was adapted as a drama CD, a series of six light novels written by Yū Kuramoto, and a 2011 live-action film. The manga is licensed in North America by Viz Media, which published English editions of all 13 volumes between January 2008 and February 2010.

The series follows the relationship between Haruna Nagashima, an enthusiastic former softball star, and Yoh Komiyama, the cool boy she convinces to coach her in romance. It has been praised by reviewers as a standard shōjo manga premise made highly entertaining by Kawahara's handling of the characters, particularly the romantic leads, and artwork.
