Production company Aniplex opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Maro Muchi's Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru! (There Is Also a Hole in the Student Organization!) manga on Sunday, revealing the main staff, an announcement promo, and a teaser visual (pictured above).

Staff
Director: Naoyuki Tatsuwa (Nisekoi, Katte ni Kaizou)
Series Composition, Script: Masahiro Yokotani (Hataraku Maou-sama!, Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai)
Character Design: Ryou Imamura (Oniichan wa Oshimai!, Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu animation director)
Studio: Passione

Muchi began drawing the school comedy manga in Weekly Shounen Magazine in April 2022. Kodansha published the ninth volume on March 17. The manga has a cumulative 1.6 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru! placed first in the Print category at the 9th Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taisho in 2023. Passione previously produced a promotional video advertising the seventh manga volume in July 2024.

Synopsis
Ume Mizunoe, a first-year student at the prestigious Fujinari Academy, excels in Japanese literature but struggles so badly in science that his chances of advancing are at risk. Hoping to boost his academic record, he joins the student council—only to find himself surrounded by a cast of quirky characters: a charismatic yet secretly shy president, a kind but intimidating treasurer, an adorably cheeky boy, and a tiny, stray-cat-like secretary.

Thrown into a whirlwind of chaotic daily life, Ume's school days are about to get a lot more unpredictable—and a lot more lively!

I watched this one not that long ago and I liked it a lot and hoped they would make a full anime out of this, but I didn't expect it to be so soon! I will definitely watch this and I hope I'll enjoy this just as much (or even more).

And I was wondering yesterday why it's taking so long for an adaptation to be announced, because it is inevitable.

the anime adaptation is inevitable but I'm very pleasant to see it since I really like the manga.

Same staff as the CM so I'm hoping they'll give the same passion as the CM...

So, is this a typical high school harem or one of those titles where the MC ends up in the middle of a group of weird girls?

The manga is pretty amusing but I'm not expecting much, since 4koma adaptations are rarely good. They just poorly translate into animation.

@RobertBobert Weird guy in a group of weird girls (teacher is weird too) but one girl seems to be leading. I think her design is brought from another series, so she might be the author's favourite. Oh right, there's a trap too, so a weird guy in a group of weird girls and a deviant.

@Antanaru Sounds like a typical non-CGDCT yonkoma. But I wonder why you think such titles are bad sources for anime. In the last couple of years, one of the most hyped anime was literally created from yonkoma.

@Antanaru She's from the author's standalone arts (mostly porn) just with different colored hair and basically their self-insert

@RobertBobert Jokes usually just don't land. With 4 panels you have a quick set up and the punchline, while when animated you can often see the punchline coming for a while or it just falls flat. There're some decent 4koma based anime but I think they succeed mainly because either the source has an overarching plot to make a full episode of more than just a string of gags, or the adaptation strays so far from the source it just uses the setting and the characters.

Which anime do you have in mind?

@Antanaru I'm talking about Bocchi the Rock. I think it's a matter of taste and perception of this format. For example, in Bocchi's fandom, on the contrary, there are many anime-only fans who unironically consider the manga itself bad and try to convince you that it was the anime that made it good, lmao.

@EtherLux Even such a relatively obscure manga is already causing controversy on Twitter? Heh, no wonder even Mamoru Oshii is criticizing the sensitivity of modern audiences.

I remember this one a bit

I do not remember if the manga itself was ecchi, but I remember the author was being very cultured on twitter recently.
Either way sadly it doesn't matter, even if this is ecchi, 90% will be censored

Hope the comedy will be good, for those who stay

@FullyCharged I don't know what you meant by "cultural", but it would be strange and offensive if the adaptation was heavily censored after the author spoke out against moral guards and the morality police on Twitter.

@RobertBobert Haven't seen Bocchi but what you said reminds me of Keion. Anime is nothing like the manga and the manga is pretty bad. I guess you either only take characters and setting to make full length episodes or make a string of short gags like Tsurezure Children. That one was fine in either version.

@FullyCharged It's kind of ecchi. One girl is an absentminded short stack and other has a rather dirty mind. There's also a whole light music club of depraved girls but that remains mainly descriptive or just hinted.

@Antanaru The manga is quite good, it's just that many people ignored it before the anime premiered and now "it was the anime that made it good" is the main "excuse" for many, who ignored this title before the successful anime came out at the time.

You pretty much included the answer of my question in your reply.
Also I saw them retweeting naughty stuff (including of their own works).
That made me hope that the adaptation will also be naughty. I haven't fully checked out the manga so idk how far it goes, but considering the context, the attitude of the author and such, this could very well get the gushing over magical girls treatment in case it wasn't naughty at base level...

The type of ecchi I was referring to is what I consider true ecchi, but the tag itself is way more broad.

Just funky situations with nothing showed (pretty much all ecchi shows nowadays are like this) -> not ecchi for me, and not worth checking out imo

Just some pantyshot and half nudity here and there but no naughty bits ever shown (something like Strike the Blood) -> barely ecchi for me, if the plot is good it may pass

Naughty bits shown -> now this is ecchi for me

@Antanaru Nah, hentai is actual sex scenes. I'm of the same mindset as him. It's not true ecchi unless they show uncensored nudity.

@FullyCharged Well, this is one of those manga that has really ridiculously lewd covers, so censoring it would look really rude.
