The anime adaptation of Muchimaro's Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! is set for an October 3 premiere, with the full cast and staff announced. Aniplex USA will stream the series on OceanVeil on the same day as the Japanese broadcast.
The television anime of Muchimaro's four-panel manga Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! is scheduled to premiere on October 3, 2026, on Tokyo MX, BS11, Gunma TV, and Tochigi TV. The adaptation has been in production long enough for the main cast and staff to be announced, starting with Shogo Sakata as protagonist Ume Mizunoe in early July. Haruka Shiraishi and Miyu Tomita joined two weeks later as Hisako Kotobuki and Komaro Michinoku, with Hiyori Kono, Shizuka Ishigami, and Yumi Uchiyama rounding out the student council and a homeroom teacher.
Naoyuki Tatsuwa directs at Passione. Ryo Imamura is character designer and chief animation director, and Masahiro Yokotani oversees series scripts. The music side settled by September: Sangatsu no Phantasia performs the opening theme "Kaze no Naka wa Hashirukkya Inai," written and composed by Noko with vocals by Mia, and Akari Nanawo performs the ending theme "Pi." With the second promotional video in September, the production locked in its on-screen talent and broadcast plan before the premiere.
The manga launched in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine in 2022 and has 12 compiled volumes. It won the print category of the ninth Next Manga Awards in 2023. In May 2026 the manga went on a health break due to Muchimaro's condition, with a return scheduled for the June 3 issue. Seven Seas will publish the first English volume on September 8.
For English-speaking viewers, Aniplex USA posted a subtitled trailer and said the series streams on OceanVeil on Saturday, the same day as the Japanese broadcast. In Japan, d Anime Store and AnimeFesta carry both versions.
