Joining the
student council is usually the perfect way to stand out in school, but when you
do it just to not fail the year and end up surrounded by the most eccentric
classmates on campus, school life becomes an absolute comic disaster. The
animated adaptation of the manga Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru! (Even the
Student Council Has Its Holes!) presented its second official trailer to
confirm that its television premiere is scheduled for October 3.
The new
video trailer allowed for the first time to hear the closing theme titled
"Pi", performed by popular singer Akari Nanawo and written by
Sho Yamamoto. The artist commented that the song perfectly captures the
overflowing personalities of each of the members of the student council,
playing with an addictive and catchy rhythm. This musical piece will accompany
the opening theme "Kaze no Naka wa Hashirukkya Inai", which is
performed by the musical project Sangatsu no Phantasia.
In the
voice section, the production has an all-star cast led by Shogo Sakata
as the troubled Mizunoe Ume, Haruka Shiraishi in the role of Hisako
Kotobuki, Miyu Tomita giving life to Komaro Michinoku, Hiyori Kono
as Tan Otori, Shizuka Ishigami playing Arisu Terui and Yumi Uchiyama
as Satomi Hiratsuka.
Behind the
scenes, the Passione studio leads animation under the general direction
of Naoyuki Tatsuwa, remembered for his work on series such as Nisekoi
and Gourmet Girl Graffiti. Character design and lead animation are being
handled by Ryo Imamura, while Masahiro Yokotani is supervising
and writing the scripts following his acclaimed work on Makeine: Too Many
Losing Heroines! and Re:ZERO. The soundtrack is composed by Tomoki
Kikuya, backed by a talented group of main animators including Kay Yu, Kona
Ming and Asatoshi Oki.
About
Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru!
Written and
illustrated by Muchimaro, the original manga in four-panel format began
publication in the pages of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine in 2022,
managing to win first place in the paper category at the Next Manga Awards in
2023. The story follows Mizunoe Ume, a high school student with excellent
grades in literature but dismal performance in science. To avoid repeating the
year, he decides to join his school's student council, discovering too late
that his classmates are a bunch of lovable madmen with personalities ranging
from outright naivety to hidden perversions.
