Student Council's Discretion


Student Council's Discretion is a collection of Japanese light novels by Aoi Sekina, 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. Originally the series was called Hekiyou Gakuen Seitokai Gijiroku, but was later changed to the subtitle of the first volume, "Seitokai no Ichizon".

Plot

The student council members of Hekiyou Academy in Hokkaidō are selected by a popularity contest. As a result, the members are usually a group of pretty girls. 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.
The series revolves around the meetings inside the student council room in Private High School Hekiyou Academy. The story has a metafiction component where, under the student council president Sakurano Kurimu orders, vice president Ken Sugisaki has to write stories to show the other students how brilliant the student council is. Ken negotiates with Fujimi Shobo to publish these stories. The author himself likens the series to that of a yonkoma novel which portrays the characters having comical conversations and parodying otaku culture.
