Hello,

Today we'll have a small preview of the upcoming second season of the anime series Seitokai No Ichizon that is going to air in this packed fall anime season 2012.

This was one of the parody series that I most liked in the recent past and the first season is at the moment a solid 61th (over 184 anime) place in my all-time anime rankings.

What is the main reason for this high ranking? Well, the protagonist is, for once, really entertaining and likeable. One of the few protagonists that I really like (together with Aoi Toori from Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon).

Hello,

And here we are again with a quick Seitokai No Ichizon blog post.

Why?

Because Aka-chan is cute, that's why.

Hello again!

As promised, today we'll explore another famous Light Novel/Manga/Anime (this one is particular in its own implementations) named Seitokai no Ichizon. Let's go with a quick synopsis from Wikipedia :

The student council members of Hekiyou Academy in Hokkaidō are selected by a popularity contest. As a result the members are usually a group of pretty girls. The sole male member is Ken Sugisaki, who entered the student council by becoming the top-scoring student in the level; which he had to cram to achieve.

The series revolves around the meetings inside the student council room in Private High School Hekiyou Academy. The story (as written in the series) has a metafiction component where, under the student council president Sakurano Kurimu orders, vice president Ken Sugisaki has to write stories to show the other students how brilliant the student council is. Ken negotiates with Fujimi Shobo to publish these stories. The author himself likens the series to that of a yonkoma novel which portrays the characters having comical conversations and parodying otaku culture.
