Best Student Council: Vol 1
Best Student Council: Vol 1 By Andromeda A year after her mother dies; Rino Rando gets the opportunity to go to a private school, paid for by a person that she’s never met, her pen pal. This mysterious person, Mr. Poppit, not only is paying for her schooling but also has paid for an apartment near by for her to live in. I don’t know about you, but this just doesn’t seem right. Puuchan doesn’t think so either. Puuchan on the other hand is also something that doesn’t seem right. You see, he’s a puppet that seems to have a permanent spot on Rino’s hand that has a completely different personality of Rino. Another odd thing, other than this girl walking around talking to a hand puppet all the time and it talking it, it plays a father figure to her. Once Rino and Puuchan arrive at Miyagami, they realize that things aren’t going to go as smoothly as they hoped it would. An arsonist is running around town and decided to burn down the apartment building that Rino was supposed to live in. Having shipped all her things ahead, she now is not only homeless, but has no belongings other than the things she carried with her on the trip. But maybe things will look better once she starts school at Miyagami Academy. While talking of her situation to one of her new classmates, Rino becomes nominated to be class representative. But what are the chances that the new girl in school will get that honor? Apparently it’s very high. Her new friend Ayu-chan nominated her for a reason though. Student council members get free room and food while at school. So maybe things are looking better. This student council though isn’t any normal student council. It’s the Best Student Council. Not only does it run the school, but it has taken it upon themselves to police the community. They are equipped with an assault squad, a vehicle squad and a covert squad. It’s like a regular military force. By a fluke, Rino not only makes class representative on her first day, but becomes secretary of the Best Student Council. This comes as a shock to nearly the whole school and many of the students can’t understand why Rino made it onto the Best Student Council. She’s not the brightest, failing her tests miserably, or good at sports. Not to mention she’s clumsy. So what does she bring to the group? Why did the President of the best Student Council pick her? Because of this though, rumors start to fly about Rino and the President. Those opposed with the President are upset and in disbelief. The Paparazzi Club, Photography Club and the Newspaper Club all team up to find out just what’s going on. The Best Student Council though has to protect the integrity of the President and the Council and it becomes a game of spies and assassins. Best Student Council is a quirky comedy that anyone will find cute. The main character Rino is just so cute and loveable and there are hints of hidden things that slowly unravel as the story progresses as to why Rino has been brought to this school and why the President has taken such a liking to this strange girl. Each character in the story is different as well to give a good variety. I would recommend this light hearted anime to anyone. It’s good for any age person to watch. <I>Licenser:</I> ADV <I>Animation Production:</I> J.C.
