The anime adaptation of the popular manga series "Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru!" by Muchimaro will air in October 2026. As announced by the producers, Shogo Sakata will take on the lead role of student Ume Mizunoe, who serves as the secretary of the student council and faces a quirky group of classmates. The manga by author Muchimaro has been serialized in Kodansha's "Weekly Shonen Magazine" since April 2022 and has already achieved a total circulation of over 2.3 million copies. In 2023, the series won the "Next Manga Award" in the Comics category.
The story follows high school student Ume Mizunoe, who excels in Japanese language but performs disastrously in science, putting his promotion at risk. To improve his grades, he joins the student council—only to find himself surrounded by highly eccentric personalities: a charismatic president, a fearsome yet kind treasurer, a cheeky, cute boy, and a tiny "stray cat" as secretary. Instead of peace, he faces a turbulent daily life full of misunderstandings and chaotic situations.
The animation production is handled by Studio Passione. The director is Naoyuki Tatsuwa, who previously worked on "Omuro-ke." Character design is by Ryo Imamura ("Oniichan wa Oshimai!"), while Masahiro Yokotani ("Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!") is in charge of series composition and screenplay. Passione is known for its high-quality adaptation of humorous everyday stories.
To mark the announcement, the creators released a first character PV and a poster featuring the protagonist Ume Mizunoe. Shogo Sakata, who voices the role, expressed his excitement: "I've been reading the series since the first volume and love Muchimaro's crazy humor and heartwarming moments. It's a great joy to play Ume Mizunoe—a literary boy who starts off somewhat on the sidelines but grows through interactions with others and eventually turns into a tsukkomi monster. I'll give it my all!"
A specific broadcast date in October 2026 and further casting details are expected in the coming months.
