I am really interested in this anime called Manabi Straight. It’s 2035 and the birth rate in Japan has seriously decreased (I assume this will actually become true with the current birth rate decline) and school spirit isn’t what it used to be at Seioh High School, a private school for girls. That is until a girl named Manami Amamiya, calls herself Manabi and asks everyone else the same, transfers to the school. She practically joins the school in a bang, on the un-official first school day she ran into the school’s fence for the pool with her flying motorized scooter and on the official first day she crashed into the gym doors to get to the welcoming assembly. Well the school is in need of a student council president and Manabi herself voluteers and gets the job. Through Manabi joins other students who wish to help including Mutsuki, Mei, Momoha, and Mika (Mika actually invited Manabi as she was already student council secretary. They go through the life of school girls that tries to raise the student body spirit, which they did do as every club practically helped to remodel their dark and shabby council room.
I personally liked this anime, the characters are designed quite well and incorporate all of those Japanese girl characteristics into each character like Manabi is the energetic one, Mutsuki the tomboy, Mei the quite leader-type who is also a great programmer, Momoha the ditz (she’s my favorite ^-^), and Mika the quiet shy girl who just wants everyone to get along. The girls all seem to me like grade school children when they are actually high schoolers. The technology is pretty awesome in the show, I really like the game station which has its own screen that materializes out of no where. I also like the opening theme song where they graffiti the school, I wish I could do that. I recommend this anime to watch and watch again.
In clock-wise fashion starting from the top left, Mei, Momoha, Mika, Manabi, Mutsuki
If theres one thing I learned from this anime, it’s don’t jump off of bridges as it hurts after you land on the ground
I did not know this Japanese “custom,” I think I’ll use it next time I’m freaking out over something
Dodgeball can be a very dangerous sport make sure to “guard” your body (This event was the only perverted thing in the anime so far, but I’m not in it for the girls, I’m in it for the story)
This girl got hit on her “front side” so instead I got a pic of her on the ground. Her face is soooo Moe
Pay attention while playing sports or this could happen to you
