Even the Student Council Has Its Holes Review Finds Comedy Buried in Sexual Antics
The review argues the season's pattern of suggestive content aimed at teenage characters undercuts a comedy premise that could have worked on its awkward personalities alone.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime Feminist.
Anime Feminist's review of episodes 1 and 2 follows Ume Mizunoe, a student repeating a year who joins his school's student council at his homeroom teacher's suggestion. The writer expected a comedy about oddballs and found a premiere built on sexual bits, including a teacher's remark, a student flashing his nipples, and a council member bare-hand spanking a classmate, followed by a knee to the crotch that draws blood.
The reviewer opens with the premise: Ume Mizunoe's grades are bad enough that he has to repeat a year, and joining the student council is his way out. The council he finds is not a home for ordinary students.
What follows is the complaint. A teacher announces she is going home to masturbate, a student flashes his nipples at the protagonist, and Mizunoe is handed another student's underwear to clean blood off. A censored scene has a council member spank a classmate with a bare hand and then drive a knee into his crotch until he spits blood. The reviewer names Tan Otori, the spanked student, and questions how the material has run for thirteen volumes.
