New License: Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! Story and art by Muchimaro. One student sees what the school’s student council is really like behind closed doors in this slice-of-life manga from the creator of It’s Just Not My Night! – Tale of a Fallen Vampire Queen (also from Seven Seas). And don't miss the anime! Mizunoe Ume just wanted to avoid repeating a grade when he joined the student council. After all, it seemed like an easy fix to his current academic problems. But then, he met his fellow council members. Each of them is eccentric in their own way—one’s an airhead, another’s scary, one’s secretly a pervert, but all in all, they’re just really weird! Yet somehow, they’re also oddly cute and endearing. Which means Mizunoe is stuck with them and all the chaos they bring to the table. ©2022 MUCHIMARO / KODANSHA LTD.
