When is the Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! anime release date?

The anime adaptation of Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! is officially scheduled to premiere in October 2026.

While the exact broadcasting day and channel listings have not been locked in, the production committee, backed by publisher Aniplex, plans to detail the precise release schedule during the summer marketing campaign. The announcement of the October slot aligns perfectly with the franchise’s rising momentum in the West, ensuring that both the physical manga releases and the animated series hit their strides simultaneously.

What is the plot of Even the Student Council Has Its Holes!?

The story takes place at the prestigious Fujinasu Academy, a private high school located on the quiet outskirts of the city. The narrative centers on Ume Mizunoe, a first year student who is incredibly passionate about literature but absolutely struggles with math and science. Desperate to find a way to avoid repeating his academic year, Ume makes a deal with his lazy homeroom teacher and joins the school’s student council.

Ume expects a quiet desk job filling out paperwork, but he quickly discovers that his fellow student council members are a collection of bizarre, dramatic, and intensely eccentric individuals:

• Hisako Kotobuki: The student council president, who excels in both sports and academics but has a shockingly airheaded and clumsy side.
• Arisu Terui: The wealthy, sharp-tongued student council treasurer.
• Komaro Michinoku: A tiny, incredibly quiet first-year student.
• Tan Otori: A junior high school student serving as the public relations officer, who regularly causes confusion due to his highly feminine appearance.

Surrounded by these goofy, grumpy, and oddly adorable personalities, Ume’s quest for academic survival morphs into a chaotic, hilarious, and sometimes spicy high school comedy.

Who is the cast and crew behind the anime?

The newly released promotional video unveiled that rising star Shogo Sakata, best known as the voice behind Yusuke in You and I Are Polar Opposites, will lead the cast as the voice of protagonist Ume Mizunoe.

The anime is in highly capable hands, utilizing a roster of seasoned industry veterans:

• Director Naoyuki Tatsuwa: Renowned for directing acclaimed romantic comedies and slice of life classics, including Nisekoi, Gourmet Girl Graffiti, and the spin-off Ōmuro-ke.
• Series Composition Masahiro Yokotani: A legendary scriptwriter responsible for the narrative composition of massive hits like Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!, and The Devil Is a Part-Timer!.
• Character Designer Ryo Imamura: Celebrated for his highly expressive, fluid character animation work on ONIMAI: I’m Now Your Sister!.
