Another adaption based on a pulp novel based on mediocre song from a mediocre Japanese voice program turned idol? Yeah, sure, I think this will be great...

Oh wow. That's definitely a surprise. I still cant really expect anything out of this, though..

Can someone translate the staff list?

The Mikagura School Suite is a a boarding high school, where each of the students must join an after-school activity club. The representatives of the clubs then battle between each other with their special abilities, and the results of these battles influence school life of all of the club members. The school only allows clubs of the cultural type.

The story begins with Ichinomiya Eruna, who is a freshman at Mikagura High School, and shows her first days at new school and how she interacts with various other students which all belong to a different school club.

The guide book given to all new students, which Eruna carries, reveals several school rules:

1. All freshmen must join one extracurricular activity club within one month. Any student that does not do so will be expelled.

2. If you wish to create a new club, it will only be accepted if you have three members. However, the school only admits cultural activity clubs.

3. The tournaments that are held at fixed intervals will determine the rank of all the clubs existing in the school. The ranks will influence the clubroom assignments in the dormitories for all club members, their food, and other similar school life matters. The tournaments will be judged solely by the teachers.

Super hyped!
I love this song series and I have been wanting to read the manga.

One thing though... The series itself is fairly short atm with only 5-6 songs within the series. Mekakucity Actors had 20+ and the adaption came out bad.
Hope the buffer content is good.

Oh, the Caligraphy Club has the best character if this series! Though I hope her design stays more like the music videos. I personally prefer the art of the music videos to what the character designs look like for the anime.

The keyword is 'Light Novel'. And we're in MAL, where people like to assert their 'right' opinions on a series based on what little information is available to them.
