The Story of a Useless Disciplinary Committee Member and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length, has officially been announced as a TV anime adaptation. The series is scheduled to begin airing in April 2026 on TOKYO MX and BS Asahi.

About the Original Manga
The anime is based on Takuma Yokota’s romantic comedy manga, currently serialized in Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius. The series has steadily grown in popularity thanks to its unique character dynamics, sharp humor, and heartfelt moments.
As of now:
- 19 volumes of the manga have been released
- The series continues to be actively serialized
- Yokota is also known for other notable works, including “Destroy All Humanity. It Can’t Be Regenerated.”
The story cleverly blends school comedy, romantic tension, and character-driven humor, making it especially accessible and enjoyable for beginners to the genre.
Story Overview (Beginner-Friendly Synopsis)
The story takes place at a typical Japanese high school and centers on two contrasting characters:
Sakura Daimon Tougo
- An overly serious and rule-obsessed member of the disciplinary committee
- Assigned to monitor student attire at the school gate
- Earnest to a fault—and often completely missing the point
Kohinata Misao
- A rebellious-looking student with light-colored hair and a skirt that’s “too short”
- Constantly targeted by Daimon’s strict rule enforcement
- Appears carefree, but hides an unexpectedly sincere and kind personality
Daimon repeatedly scolds Misao for violating dress codes, convinced she’s a troublemaker. However, Misao soon discovers that despite his strict attitude, Daimon is surprisingly useless in practice—awkward, clumsy, and often unintentionally hilarious.
As misunderstandings pile up and their interactions increase, the relationship between the “useless” disciplinarian and the “problematic” girl slowly shifts into something warmer and more genuine.
Main Cast Announced
The anime features a talented voice cast bringing these comedic characters to life:
Junya Enoki as Sakura Daimon Tougo
Known for roles in Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan, Enoki describes Daimon as:
“A very serious discipline committee member whose extreme seriousness often sends him in strange directions. He might be a bit of a wild character.”
Riko Akechi as Kohinata Misao
Akechi shares her thoughts on Misao:
“She’s a little clumsy, but at heart she’s very honest and sincere. I hope viewers can feel the hidden cuteness inside her.”
The teaser PV also gives fans their first look at the characters’ voices, helping bring the manga’s comedic timing to life.
