Seitokai no Ichizon (生徒会の一存, lit. The Student Council's Discretion) is a collection of Japanese light novels by Sekina Aoi, with illustrations by Kira Inugami. The series started with the release of the first volume on January 19, 2008, published by Fujimi Shobo under their Fujimi Fantasia Bunko label.
Originaly the series was called Hekiyou Gakuen Seitokai Gijiroku (碧陽学園生徒会議事録, lit. Hekiyou Academy Student Council Minutes), but was later changed to the sub-title of the first volume, "Seitokai no Ichizon" (生徒会の一存). Series is also referred to as "Seitokai Series" (生徒会シリーズ).

Series Outline

The series revolves around the meeting, or rubbish inside the meeting room of the student council in Shiritsu Kou-Kou - Hekikyo Gakuen (私立高校・碧陽学園, lit. Hekikyo Academy - a private highschool).
The story (as written in the series) has a metafiction component where under the student council president Kurimu's order, vice president Ken write stories to show the student of Hekikyo Academy how brilliant the student council is. He then negotiates with Fujimi Shobo to publish these stories. The author himself calls the series as a yonkoma novel portraying the character's comical conversations and parodies. It is speculated that the story takes place in Hokkaidō by the way they refer to mainland Japan (Naichi (内地), Funai (府内)). Muroran-kou (室蘭港, Port of Muroran, The) is also mentioned in the 4th episode of the anime.

Plot

The student council members of Hekikyo Academy is selected in a very unusual method, by a popularity contest. As a result the members are usually a group of Bishōjo. The sole male member is Ken Sugisaki, who entered the student council by becoming the top-scoring student in the level; which he had to cram to achieve.

He is referred to as "Kī-kun" by Chizuru, from his given name Ken (鍵) which also can be read as Kagi (鍵, a key). Loves playing eroge and galge, and plans on making the rest of the student council members his harem. On the surface, he seems to be lazy and carefree, but he is actually very hardworking and always stays behind after dismissal to finish all the student council work so that the student council can have fun as always. Ken also has a serious side to him, and he truly cares for those around him; According to Kurimu, they still yet to find someone Ken dislikes. Ken reveals to Lilicia that the student council itself is his "dream", where his goal and happiness co-exist.

A unique trivia about Ken is that he started every episode with behavior that exasperate the whole student council due to his 'eroge otaku' personality.

Her nickname can also mean Aka-chan (赤ちゃん, a baby). This is often used as a jokes and mostly humor against her in the series, poking fun of her childish size and looks despite being a senior. However, it does not seem to bother her acting childish around Chizuru. She is well like by other students, and is capable of controling crowds not even Ken can. Most of the anime episodes starts out with Kurimu making a statement in front of a whiteboard. She is the cause of most of Ken's labor and why he became a eroge mania.

Minatsu Shiina (椎名 深夏, Shiina Minatsu)

Voiced by: Misuzu Togashi

Minatsu is a bold character and Student Council Vice-president. A tomboy with impressive athletic skills, and is surprisingly also good in math, which Ken considers to be uncharacteristic of her. She's popular among girls and has a bit of a yuri taste. She's in the same class with Ken but she's an orthodox tsundere without any 'dere' (short for dere-dere (でれでれ)) to be found. She also has a little sister, Mafuyu.

Mafuyu Shiina (椎名 真冬, Shiina Mafuyu)

Voiced by: Yuki Horinaka

Mafuyu is the Student Council Treasurer. Minatsu's sister and the only freshman in the Council. She is a swaying bishōjo, and is afraid of males. Ken thought her to be "the easiest character to see the ending" but later turns out to be the most feared one by some reason (particularly the fact that she's into yaoi, and that she fantasizes pairing Ken romantically with a boy). She's addicted to video games, and spends much of her free time playing with a handheld game console that resembles a pink PlayStation Portable.

Students

Lilicia Toudou (藤堂リリシア, Tōdō Lilicia)

Voiced by: Mamiko Noto

Lilicia is the President of the Journalism Club, and ranked fifth in the school's popularity poll; just falling short of getting into the Student Council.

She claims that she despises the current Student Council because they always laze around, doing nothing.
