"The Group Art Is Absolutely Wonderful," "The Tagline Is Great": Key Visual Revealed for the October 2026 Anime Even the Student Council Has Its Holes!

The key visual for Even the Student Council Has Its Holes!, the anime set to begin airing in October 2026, has been revealed, drawing a major response with comments such as "The group art is absolutely wonderful" and "It's lovely to see the whole cast together."

Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! is a student council love-and-comedy series by Muchimaro that took first place in the print manga category of the Next Manga Award 2023 and has surpassed 2.3 million copies in circulation. Ume Mizunoe, a first-year high school student at Fujinasu Academy, earns outstanding marks in Japanese language studies but is so hopeless at science and math subjects that his promotion to the next year is in jeopardy. The story follows the hectic daily life he shares with a group of rather peculiar girls after he becomes a student council officer in order to raise his academic record.

The newly revealed key visual, released ahead of the broadcast, depicts student council members Ume Mizunoe, Hisako Kotobuki, Komaro Michinoku, Tan Otori and Arisu Terui, along with year-level head teacher Satomi Hiratsuka and other friends from the school, set against Fujinasu Academy, the setting of the story. An official TikTok account for the anime was also launched to coincide with the release of the key visual.

The key visual has prompted a stream of delighted reactions on social media, with posts such as "The group art is absolutely wonderful!" and "Having the whole cast together is the best," as well as praise like "It's lovely to see everyone at the school gathered around the student council." Comments including "I can't wait for the broadcast date" and "The tagline really hits home" show that fan anticipation is rising even further ahead of the premiere.
