About "There Is Also a Hole in the Student Organization"

There Is Also a Hole in the Student Organization (Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru) is a humorous four-panel manga series by Muchimaro. It has been serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine since April 2022. The story revolves around Ume Mizunoe, a first-year student at Fujinari Academy High School. While she excels in Japanese, her performance in science is so poor that her academic future is in jeopardy. To improve her internal evaluation, she joins the student council, only to find herself amidst an eccentric group. This includes a charismatic but mysterious president, a strict but kind and elegant treasurer, a cheeky and cute boy, and a tiny "stray cat" as the general affairs representative. Ume anticipates a series of chaotic, everyday occurrences.

Comments from the Creators and Production Team

Muchimaro, the author of the original manga series, expressed his excitement: "There's going to be an anime adaptation! What… is this really happening!? An anime adaptation!? Yay!!!! Thanks to everyone who has continued to support the series, a big dream has come true. Thank you very much. Well then, please enjoy seeing the characters move and talk…!!! Yay!!!"

Director Naoyuki Tatsuwa added: "Congratulations on the anime announcement! The daily chaotic escapades of the Fujinari Academy student council will now be brought to life through animation. We are currently working hard and having a lot of fun with the production, so please look forward to seeing your favorite scenes, situations, and dialogues from the original animated!"

Ryo Imamura, the character designer, commented on his task: "I'm Imamura, the character designer. Muchimaro-sensei's drawings, with their expressive figures and detailed character features, are full of artistry and charm. My task this time is to capture all of that and faithfully translate it into the animation, and I'm putting all my skills into the work. We are preparing thoroughly, so please wait a little longer! I will do my best!"

Masahiro Yokotani, in charge of series composition and screenplay, shared his initial impressions: "Comedy, eroticism, and emotional resonance – I always thought these three elements were incompatible, but this work perfectly combines them and even enhances them mutually. I will never forget the shock I felt when I first read the original manga. During the script meetings, we often asked ourselves, 'Can we really broadcast this?' I am very curious to see how the suggestive scenes and other delicate moments will be portrayed. I'm looking forward to the broadcast!"

Anticipation for the anime adaptation of There Is Also a Hole in the Student Organization is growing with these first glimpses and comments from the production team. Fans of the manga series and lovers of humorous anime entertainment have much to look forward to.
