Togo Sakuradaimon is a hyper-serious class monitor who sincerely strives to enforce school rules. Poem Kohinata is a girl who pushes the rules to their limit when it comes to things like hair color and skirt length. They don’t get along…until they both end up in supplemental math lessons. Poem is good at math and is there only because she skipped a few classes, but Togo…is actually kind of a dimwit and not a very good student. So Poem ends up tutoring her archnemesis, and afterward, they walk home together. Where will this unconventional relationship go?
This was quite funny. Togo behaves like he’s a wannabe shonen protagonist, as does the equally hyper-serious student health representative Izubuchi. Meanwhile, Poem’s friends Akina and Tasaki are total mischief-makers who seize every chance to tease and goof off. The end result is a really silly premiere episode. While Togo and Poem do flirt, as a romcom, this anime definitely seems to be skewed toward the comedy end of the spectrum. I can see myself eventually losing interest if the humor veers into ecchi territory (something potentially hinted at by the jokes about Poem’s underwear), but for now I think I’ll give this one another episode. It could be a lot of fun.
The Klutzy Class Monitor and the Girl with the Short Skirt is streaming on Crunchyroll.
