Genre      : Comedy
Episodes : 13
Story :
Takatoshi Tsuda joins Ōsai Academy, a high school that until recently had been an all-girl school.He joins this school due to it is nearby his house. One day he meets the school president of the student council who catches him that his school uniform is untidy. Then he is asked to join the student council as vice-president and a male representative. Tsuda then starts his school-life as the VP together with 3 other females students of the student council,school president, the treasurer and the secretary.

Main characters :
Takatoshi Tsuda (津田 タカトシ Tsuda Takatoshi)
The main character of the story, he chooses to attend a former all-girl school simply because it is close to his home. The first day at the school, he is forced to join the student council as vice president and male representative. He normally acts as a tsukkomi to Shino and Aria's perverted innuendo and comments, and becomes so used to it that he would actually feel odd if they did not make such jokes.


Shino Amakusa (天草 シノ Amakusa Shino)
The student council president and a second-year student. She is serious and diligent, and talented in most subjects. However, she is almost always thinking of perverted things, even suggesting that one of her main reasons to be interested in Tsuda is curiosity about information not covered in health classes. She is also a very popular girl with a lot of female fans in school, and has a complex about her chest, which is exacerbated by the fact that Aria happens to be more well-endowed than she is. She later develops some feelings for Tsuda.

Aria Shichijō (七条 アリア Shichijō Aria)
Also a second-year student and Shino's best friend. She is the most mature character in appearance, and comes from a wealthy family. However, her mind tends to follow the same paths as Shino, possibly more so. She is airheaded at times, as a consequence of being too rich. Being more well-endowed than her fellow student council members exacerbates Shino's complex about her chest.
Suzu Hagimura (萩村 スズ Hagimura Suzu)
A first-year, 16-year-old (17 later in the manga) genius return student with an IQ of 180. She is the most mature of the characters, but she is very sensitive about her body, which still appears to be that of an elementary school student. Many of the jokes involving her focus on her childish appearance, and causes her to fly in a rage whenever it is mentioned.
A 13-episode anime TV series aired in Japan between July 4 and September 26, 2010 on TV Kanagawa. Two pieces of theme music are used for the anime: one opening theme and one ending theme. The opening theme is "Yamato Nadeshiko Education" (大和撫子エデュケイション) by Triple Booking (a reference to the author's previous work Idol no Akahon), made up of Yōko Hikasa, Satomi Satō and Sayuri Yahagi—the voices of Shino, Aria and Suzu. The ending theme is "Aoi Haru" (蒼い春) by Angela.

Seitokai Yakuindomo began as a four-panel comic strip manga written and illustrated by Tozen Ujiie. The manga began serialization in the June 2007 issue of Kodansha's Magazine Special and ran in that magazine until the July 2008 issue, where it was thereafter transferred to Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine starting with the 34th issue of 2008 sold in September. The first tankōbon volume was released on August 12, 2008 under Kodansha's Shōnen Magazine KC imprint; as of January 15, 2010, three volumes have been released, with a fourth forthcoming on August 17, 2010.

I have finished watching this tv anime series. It is very funny. The conversations of the students has contained a bit of sexual content sometimes! :P Sometimes it will make you wonder about the School Prez. Too bad that this series does not have much romance, so I am wondering will it be for the season 2. As this is an adaptation from the same name manga, I do not read the manga before. But I will still provided some sneak preview of the anime and manga for you.

Would You Like to have A Cutie Foxy Girlfriend?!

Hello! I want to share one of my favourite romance Korean tv series which I just finished watching lately. It is "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho". 'Gumiho' in Korean means 'Nine-Tailed Fox'. All the actors and actresses in this tv series are young.


Title   : My Girlfriend is Gumiho / My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox (내 여자친구는 구미호)
Genre : Romance Comedy
Episodes : 16
Story :
Cha Dae Woong accidentally releases a gumiho, a legendary fox with nine tails who was trapped inside of a painting by Grandma Samshin, by drawing 9 tails to the fox painting. The gumiho wanted to be human before but was not able to fulfill the request of finding a husband because a rumor was spread claiming that she eats livers of humans. Dae Woong meets a pretty girl after he wakes up from a life threatening fall not knowing that she is the fox he released. When Dae Woong finds out about what he did, he must try to keep her happy and hide the fact that she is a gumiho from everyone. However, because Dae Woong has gumiho's Orb that saved his life, he has no choice but to let her stay with him. As the story goes on, the legendary gumiho (later called Miho) wants to be human. Miho is informed by a veterinarian named Park Dong Joo (who is also not a human) that she must drink his blood to become a human in 100 days while Dae Woong will have to keep her magical fox orb meanwhile. Moreover, Dae Woong will not be able to date anyone else but gumiho within the 100 days. However, Dong Joo doesn't tell Miho that in 100 days, in order to become human, Dae Woong must die. Trouble brews when Miho and Dae Woong eventually fall in love.

Casts :
Lee Seung Gi as Cha Dae Woong, the protagonist of the drama, he is a spoiled young man (in his 20s) who lost both of his parents at a very young age and has been with his grandfather and aunt for more than 20 years. He is not interested in going to college; instead, he wants to be an actor. When his grandfather tries to take him to a boarding school, Dae Woong escapes and eventually gets lost. A woman's voice tells him to draw nine tails on a drawing of a fox at a Buddhist temple and in doing so he accidentally releases it. He meets a girl who informs him that she is the fox he released. He finds out that she is a gumiho (later called Miho) so he ends up trying to keep her happy (mostly by buying her meat) and hide the fact that she is a gumiho from everyone else. Later, Dae Woong falls in love with Miho.


Shin Min Ah as Gu Miho (called Miho), a legendary nine-tailed fox that has been stuck inside a painting for 500 years. Miho is the female protagonist. She dreams of becoming a human and has always wanted to do things humans do. However, when people heard rumors that gumihos eat human livers, no one would go near her. When she meets Dae Woong, she starts to feel like she is human but sometimes exerts her superhuman strength when no one, except for Dae Woong, is around (she was once seen by two children at a park). She becomes Dae Woong's girlfriend and tries to mold their relationship into a normal girlfriend-boyfriend one. Despite the fact that gumihos are ferocious, she is more like the cute and nice type. Since she was made of fire, she is afraid of water.


No Min-woo as Park Dong Joo, a veterinarian at an animal hospital, he is half goblin and half human. He knows a lot of things about human life. Doog Joo is shown to be the antagonist. He tends to speak in a calm way to Miho, but doesn't seem to be that way to other people. He tried to capture Miho and put her back inside the painting, but when Miho tells him that she wants to become a human, he changes his mind. So, he tells Miho that she will become human if she drinks his blood and if Dae Woong will keep her marble inside his stomach for 100 days. However, he doesn't tell her that Dae Woong will die if he gives the marble back to her when those 100 days are over. When Dong Joo finds out that Miho is made out of the fire Kil Dal (the girl he loved who made him kill her) left behind, he tries to keep her safe.


Park Soo Jin as Eun Hye In, the female antagonist of the drama, she is Dae Woong's senior. She and Dae Woong had strong feelings for each other for a long time. However, when Dae Woong found out that she was using him, he started to lose interest in her and ignore her. Hye In doesn't like Miho, and she becomes infuriated and jealous when Miho becomes Dae Woong's girlfriend. She also tried to get Dae Woong to ask her out, but because Dae Woong can't date other people because of Miho's marble, she gets rejected a few times. Hye In thinks that she knows Miho's difference so she tries to do whatever she can to find out Miho's true identity.

Personally, I like the Gumiho in this series as I think she is very cute. As you know she is a 'fox', she likes to eat meat very much. She always begging Dae Woong to buy her meat as her meal. It is very funny. Moreover, when she ties her hair in a bun on top of her head, she looks really cute.

The songs of this series are also very nice to listen. It is a very lively song. OK, here are some sneak peeks of the tv series for you to enjoy. Provided the link of My Girlfriend is Gumiho.

Enjoy watching!!!
