A Comedy About Breaking Out of School, ‘Young Magazine’ Serialization ‘Prison School’ TV Anime Airs Summer 2015

The manga Prison School has been green-lit for a TV anime! Announced on March 16, the anime is set to air in summer 2015. The official teaser site also opened unveiling a key visual and the first PV.

Prison School is created by Akira Hiramoto and has been serialized in Young Magazine (published by Kodansha) since 2011. The manga is a very popular school comedy, with total copies printed exceeding 4 million, and it has also received the 37th Kodansha Manga Award in the general category.

The setting of the manga is Hachimitsu Private Academy, a school where the male-female ratio is extremely unbalanced with 1016 female students and only 5 male students. As punishment for peeking in the girls bath, the five male students––Kiyoshi, Gakuto, Shingo, Jo, and Andre––are imprisoned in a building (nicknamed “prison”) led by the secret student council in charge of upholding the school’s regulations and punishing those who fail to abide by them. In the midst of being forced to work in the prison by the student council, the boys start to think of breaking out. Surrounded by enemies on all sides, will these boys have hope for the future? Or will they be defeated, ending in expulsion from the school…

As expected from such a setting, one of the manga’s selling points is the alluring portrayals of its female characters. We wait with excitement to see how it will transition to animated media!

The key visual features the five male students in prison outfits, with metal bars in the background and a woman holding a whip, representing the control that the secret student council of Hachimitsu Academy has on them.

The first PV is also available to watch on the official teaser site. The 1-minute video introduces the atmosphere and setting of the series. Watch out for information about the series such as main cast, staff, and airing times to come later!
