Are they heroes of justice, an evil organization, or just a bunch of weirdos? Among the members are Ogami Ryoko, a vicious lone wolf and new type of tsundere high school girl, Morino Ryoji, a weak-willed boy with scopophobia who has a crush on her, and Akai Ringo, who looks like a lolita but has a dark side, along with a host of other unique friends. They do whatever they want and fight to fix the world (?) in this hot-blooded, human-interest romantic comedy. ■ExplanationThis is a TV anime adaptation of a hugely popular series that has been published by Dengeki Bunko since 2006. It is characterized by its parody developments that go beyond expectations, with motifs of fairy tales and old tales that everyone knows. It is a hot-blooded, refreshing, and exciting school romantic comedy + slightly sexy story woven by a succession of unique characters with twists, while admiring the maiden side of the stubbornly wild and strong-willed wolf. It is an entertainment work that can be enjoyed without being stubborn and will make you excited (burn?) for the diverse characters. ■Cast・Ogami Ryoko/Ito Shizuka・Akai Ringo/Ito Kanae・Morino Ryoji/Irino Miyu・Kirigi List/Nojima Yuji・Kirigi Alice/Horie Yui・Tsurugatani Otsuu/Kawasumi Ayako・Majolica Le Fay/Koyama Kimiko・Urashima Taro/Asanuma Shintaro・Ryugu Otohime/Toyosaki Aki・Usami Mimi/Kugimiya Rie・Shimokiri Suzume/Yahagi Sayuri・Kibitsu Momoko/Kaida Yuko・Shirayukihimeno/Fukui Yukari・Haibara Kakari/Hayami Saori・Oji Akihiro/Akabane Kenji・Hansel/Okamoto Nobuhiko・Gretel/Iguchi Yuka・Murano Yukime/Nabatame Hitomi・Mura Nowakato/Miyasaka Shunzo, Himura Machiko/Sato Satomi, Aragami Hitsujito/Oono Atsushi, Shepherd Shiro/Suwabe Junichi, Nine-Tailed Fox/Nakahara Mai, Nekomiya Saburo/Kaji Yuki, Hanasaki Jin/Yamaguchi Taro, Jizo Ami/Takahashi Mikako, Inuzuka/Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, Saruwatari/Kanemitsu Nobuaki, Kijino/Aoki Tsuyoshi, Hamel/Aoyama Jo, Hatsuka/Kanemoto Hisako, Butada Futoshi/Nomura Kenji, Butada Hiroshi/Mogami Tsugio, Butada Takashi/Tanzawa Teruyuki, Kazuya/Mizuhara Kaoru, Futaba/Sakura Ayane, Santa/Saito Yuuki, Rokuro/Maki Chihiro, Mother/Ono Ryoko, Nekado Chutaro/Kotobuki Minako, Narration/Arai Satomi ■ Main staff・Original work: Miyabi Okita (ASCII Media Works/Dengeki Bunko) ■ Main Characters・Ogami Ryoko A first-year student at Otogi Academy and a member of Otogi Bank.

The parody plot, centered around the unique club activity of Otogi Bank, uses fairy tales and old folk tales as motifs to provide viewers with fresh surprises and laughter. In addition, the adventures of the unique characters, including the main character Ogami Ryoko, will keep viewers entertained. In particular, the combination of Ogami Ryoko's tsundere character and Morino Ryoji's weak character is very appealing as a romantic comedy.

In addition, the contrast between Akai Ringo's dark inner self and her angelic appearance also adds depth to the work. Furthermore, the parodies of fairy tales and old tales that appear in each episode make viewers feel nostalgic and fresh at the same time. For example, in episode 3, "The Wolf Gets Caught in an Ugly Fight Between the Tortoise and the Hare," a story based on the race between the rabbit and the turtle unfolds, entertaining viewers. Also, in episode 5, "The Wolf Goes to Defeat Demons with Momo-chan Senpai," an episode based on the story of Momotaro is depicted, stimulating viewers' imaginations. As for the music, May'n's powerful singing voice in "Ready Go!" brings out the passion of the work, and the ending song "Red Riding Hood Goyoujin" further enhances the humorous atmosphere of the work. In particular, OToGi8's i-pop version of "Red Riding Hood Goyoujin" provides new entertainment for the viewers. ■ Recommendation points"Ookami-san and her Seven Companions" can be recommended for the following reasons: 1. **Unique setting and parody development** 2. **Charming characters** 3. **The appeal of this passionate romantic comedy** 4. **Powerful and humorous music** Conclusion"Ookami-san and her Seven Companions" is a work with many charms, including a unique setting and parody plot, charming characters, the appeal of a passionate romantic comedy, and powerful and humorous music.
