Summary:
The series, which is also called Hekiyō Gakuen Seito-kaigi Jiroku (The Records of the Hekiyō Academy Student Council’s Activities), revolves around a private high school whose student council is chosen entirely by popularity vote. Because of this, Ken Sugisaki is the only male representative, in the otherwise all bishōjo student council, that may enter the “sacred sanctuary” of the council’s meeting room. At the behest of Council President Kurimu Sakurano (pictured at right), Sugisaki records the minutes of the council meetings, which devolve into daily conversations about the students’ lives and interests.
This is a really good anime! I really enjoy watching it. The characters are really well made with lots of depth and it's quite interesting to see how each of them work together. Although at first it seems like there is a clear hierarchy it soon becomes clear that each member has their own way of taking control of the group and using them as they desire. Each of the characters give off their own powerful first impression and at first a lot of them seem to be an easy book to read, this however is not the case with each one having their own secrets.
The only warnings that I can give are the following:
The scenes can at times can be very mature and can be suggestive,
The characters are very complex and you have to be able to watch the entire episode to begin to understand them.
Overall I would suggest this not to first timers but to people who like anime and are willing to spend a lot of time watching and getting to know the series.
This is my 5th anime, I am in my second year of learning Japanese and am in my late teens. Please keep this in mind because opinions may differ on age group and any-thing else.
