Seitokai Yakuindomo Season 2 - The deeper meaning of this charming school comedy

■Overview of the work

Seitokai Yakuindomo Season 2 is a TV anime series based on the popular manga by Tozen Ujiie, which aired on AT-X from January 4 to March 29, 2014. The 13-episode series was animated by GoHands and directed by Hiromitsu Kanazawa. The series maximizes the appeal of the original while adding some unique elements to the anime, making it a beloved series among many fans.

■ Story

Private Ousai Academy is a school that has transitioned from an all-girls school to a co-ed school due to the declining birthrate. With an overwhelming number of female students, Tsuda Takatoshi becomes the vice president of the student council through an unexpected turn of events. Together with the unique members of the student council, including student council president Amakusa Shino, secretary Nanajo Aria, and accountant Hagimura Suzu, he unfolds various episodes through his daily student council activities.

The first episode begins with Takatoshi once again being scolded by Shino for wearing his school uniform carelessly under a cherry blossom tree. Each episode then depicts a different episode, such as daily life in the student council room and interactions with Mitsuba Mutsumi from the judo club. The story is set during various events in school life, such as school trips, seaside school trips, and cultural festivals, and is full of scenes that highlight the individuality of the student council members.

Particularly memorable episodes include Shino being scouted as an idol, and the student council members trying on the new official swimsuits. Also, in the graduation ceremony scene, Takatoshi's farewell speech as a representative of the current students is very moving.

■ Characters

The appeal of this work lies in its unique characters. The main character, Takatoshi Tsuda, is a sensible person who is at the mercy of the eccentric people around him. His younger sister, Kotomi Tsuda, has a strong knowledge of erotic jokes, but also trains her brother's tsukkomi skills.

Student council president Shino Amakusa is a popular, athletic and talented girl who excels at cooking, but she also suffers from a fear of heights and a complex about her small breasts. Secretary Aria Shichijo was raised in a wealthy family, has large breasts and a gentle personality, but often surprises those around her with her naive remarks. Accountant Suzu Hagimura is a genius with an IQ of 180 and is fluent in English, but is short and has the physique of an elementary school student.

In addition, many other unique characters appear, such as school teacher Naruko Yokoshima, Judo club member Mutsumi Mitsuba, newspaper club member Ranko Hata, discipline committee chairperson Kaede Igarashi, and Shichijo family maid Sayaka Dejima. Their interactions and episodes add excitement to the story and entertain viewers.

■ Production staff

Many talented staff members are involved in the production of "Seitokai Yakuindomo Season 2". Director and series writer Kanazawa Hiromitsu has directed the show with attention to detail to bring out the best in the original work. Furuta Makoto, who was in charge of character design and general animation director, has faithfully recreated the characters from the original work while adding his own unique appeal to the anime.

Art director Masanobu Nomura, colorist Sakura Komatsu, sound director Hideo Takahashi, composer Yuya Mori, and other professionals from various fields have come together to improve the quality of the work. In addition, with the cooperation of Dreamforce, which was in charge of sound production, and Starchild Records, which was in charge of music production, the work has been completed as one that viewers can enjoy.

■ Theme songs and music

The opening theme, "Hanasaku ☆ Saikyo Legend Days," is a song by Triple Booking (Yoko Hikasa, Sato Satomi, and Yahagi Sayuri), and its bright and cheerful melody livens up the atmosphere of the work. The ending theme, "Mirai Night," is sung by Sato Satomi, and its gentle melody will soothe the hearts of viewers. In addition, the ending theme of the final episode, "Sakura no Sora," is a moving song by the Suginami Children's Choir, and is perfect for the graduation ceremony scene.
