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)

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.

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 come here every few months just to see if there's anything new worth watching in the upcoming seasonals. This is some of the worst looking gooner dogshit I've seen in a while lmao.

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

I wanna see hood weebs and tourists seething over this show.

@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 Oh. So you mean ecchi as in H, hentai.

Oh sick, haven't read the manga but I'm looking forward to this

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...

@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.

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 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.

@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.

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

@bastek66 Thanks, I already got it, lmao.

@RobertBobert Green is a trap

@Softhenic03
Looking at the announcement tweet on their Twitter, you will find it out. 😉

@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.

@Softhenic03

Well, here's a hint

Apr 27, 11:33 PM by DGottem

Read the manga a couple of months ago, I hope the anime is good.

Apr 27, 8:35 PM by MadanielFL

@EtherLux same, i hate when tourists complain about children with big jiggling tits

@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?

Apr 27, 12:34 PM by Antanaru

The Twitter shitstorm this caused, once again, makes me want to lobotomize myself fuck lol
