Muchimaro’s delightful four-panel manga, Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru! (There is also a hole in the student organization!), is making the leap to the small screen! An official website and social media accounts have launched to announce the TV anime adaptation, sending waves of excitement through the manga and anime community. Here’s everything we know so far about this upcoming comedy series.
A Hilarious Premise: What’s the Story About?
Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru! is a comedy manga that centers around the chaotic and quirky student council of Fujinari Private Academy High School. The story follows Ume Mizunoe, a first-year student who’s excellent at Japanese but struggles with science. To avoid repeating a year, she joins the student council to boost her academic standing. However, she quickly discovers that the council members are far from ordinary.
Ume finds herself surrounded by a group of eccentric personalities:
- A charismatic but secretive president.
- A stern yet kind and graceful treasurer.
- A cheeky and cute boy.
- A tiny “stray cat” general affairs officer.
What ensues is a series of hilarious and unpredictable daily events as Ume navigates her new role and interacts with the unique members of the student council. It’s a slice-of-life comedy with plenty of absurd situations and charming characters.
