The official trailer The Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! anime will premiere on October 3. An announcement published by Crunchyroll News on August 22, 2026, also revealed the opening theme, “Kaze no Naka wa Hashirukkyanai!”, performed by Sangatsu no Phantasia.
Ume Mizunoe joins an unconventional student council
Ume Mizunoe joins the student council to avoid repeating a school year. That practical motivation places him alongside a group of eccentric members and gives the series a clear setting for its school comedy.
The official synopsis centers on a turbulent year and the interactions between the council members. Ume is trying to solve his academic problem, while the personalities around him are expected to make daily life more complicated.
This group premise is the announcement’s strongest hook. Repeating a year gives Ume a specific reason to enter the story, while the council creates an immediate source of friction. The characters’ dynamic is established, but how effectively the series develops it will only become clear once the anime begins.
Sangatsu no Phantasia performs the opening theme
“Kaze no Naka wa Hashirukkyanai!” provides a second point of reference after the broadcast date. No additional details are given about a separate release for the song or a possible full version.
Naoyuki Tatsuwa is directing the anime at Passione. Masahiro Yokotani is handling the series composition, while Ryo Imamura is responsible for the character designs.
The announced cast includes Shogo Sakata as Ume Mizunoe, Haruka Shiraishi as Hisako Kotobuki, Miyu Tomita as Komaro Michinoku and Hiyori Kono as Tan Otori. Shizuka Ishigami plays Arisu Terui, while Yumi Uchiyama voices Satomi Hiratsuka.
The release date is set for October 3. With its opening theme, cast and unusual student-council premise now established, the anime’s next challenge will be turning that ensemble into a compelling series. Crunchyroll News’ official announcement gathers the available details about the series.
