About Seitokai Yakuindomo

Meet Seitokai Yakuindomo (生徒会役員共), a comedy and slice of life anime by GoHands and Dream Force (2010). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: Tsuda Takatoshi is about to begin his first year in Ousai Academy. His decision to enter Ousai was based upon it being close to his home and he paid no heed to the fact he'd be among the first boys to enter the recently gender-integrated school.

Further in, on his first trip to school, Takatoshi is surrounded by girls; the train has nothing but girls, the walk to school has nothing but girls and once he finally arrives he is approached by a group of girls and summarily appointed. Now Takatoshi finds himself surrounded by crazy girls who do nothing but horrify him with their candid conversations about feminine hygiene products and, what's worse, assume he's the worst kind of man.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Takatoshi Tsuda (Shintarou Asanuma) and Shino Amakusa (Youko Hikasa) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
