It has been announced that Muchimaro's slice-of-life four-panel manga "Seitokai mo Ana ga Aru!", currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Magazine" (Kodansha), will be adapted into a TV anime. Naoyuki Ryurin will be the director, Ryo Imamura will be the character designer, and Masahiro Yokotani will be in charge of series composition and scriptwriting. It will be produced by Passione. A teaser visual and special trailer have also been released.
Original author Muchimaro commented, "It's being made into an anime! You're kidding... can that be done!? An anime!? Yay!!! Thanks to everyone who has supported me all this time, one of my big dreams has come true. Thank you so much. So, please look forward to seeing them moving and talking...!!!!!! Yay!!!"
Director Tatsurin said, "Congratulations on the release of the anime adaptation! The anime will depict the daily chaos caused by the Fujinari Academy Student Council. We are currently working hard and having fun with the production, so please look forward to seeing scenes, situations, and lines from the original work played out in animation!"
Character designer Imamura commented, "My mission this time is to see how I can capture the human body and fetishistic drawings by Muchimaro-sensei, as well as the personalities of each character, in the animation, and I will be pouring all my energy into it. We are working hard on various preparations, so please wait a little longer! I'll do my best!"
Yokotani, who composed the series and wrote the script, said, "Comedy, eroticism, and emotion. These three elements, which I had always assumed didn't go together, coexist perfectly, further enhancing their synergistic effect. I will never forget the shock I felt when I read the original work for the first time. During scenario meetings, I repeatedly asked, 'Can this really be broadcast?' So what color is Tan's XX? How will the president's XX scene be portrayed? I can't wait for it to air."
"There's a Hole in the Student Council!" will begin serialization in the magazine in April 2022. Mizunoe Ume, a first-year student at Fujinari Private Academy High School, has excellent grades in Japanese, but her science subjects are so terrible that they will affect her promotion. She becomes a student council officer to earn good grades, but she finds herself surrounded by strange people, such as a charismatic moody guy, a scary but kind and neat accountant, a cheeky but cute boy, and a tiny abandoned cat who works in the general affairs department, and her days are filled with chaotic life... This is the story. It was also a hot topic after being selected as the No. 1 manga in the "Next Manga Awards 2023" comics category. The comics have sold over 1.6 million copies in total.
