The series follows main character Yamato Yura, who enters the prestigious Stella Women’s Academy. Her new high school life makes her heart jump out of her chest and she thinks, “Maybe here...I can change!” She then enters the C3 club. It is here that an adolescent survival game story unfolds.

The anime is being produced by Gainax, which is responsible for creating many hit works. Masayoshi Kawajiri is the director and Manami Umeshita is the character designer.

Shikyubu!” by the main cast of characters who make up the C3 club. Both songs will be released on Aug. 7 for 1,250 yen (tax included). Worth taking note of is that Kz is in charge of the opening theme’s lyrics, composition, and arrangement. Kz is a popular artist whose music includes the songs “Tell Your World” (Hatsune Miku), “Transfer” (Megumi Nakajima), and “Take Your Way” (Sekai no Owari).
