Japanese School Club: Difference between revisions

(→‎Anime and Manga: Deleted "Competition to get members (and thus stay viable) is a common theme of high-school-club-based anime." from the Kamichu! example - while true in general, it doesn't apply to this particular show. Also added Kokoro Connect to the example list, and did other minor cleanup)
 
Line 49:
* ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' has Nagisa working to reform the school's drama club, despite having no members and being oppressed by the student council.
** They're not really being oppressed, it's just that the drama club barely have members, they have no advisor and are nearly as bad with organization and paperwork as [[K-On!|Afterschool Tea Time]] and as such the student council has to consider it a non-entity. When the drama club works out the issues (mainly by haring an advisor with an instrument club), they encounter no more external problems.
** The second season also shows us the school's Occult Studies club, which has two members. Considering that the school has a four-member-minimum rule, the supposition is that the Occult Studies Club has two more members on the roll who never attend meetings; the colloquialism for such people translates as "ghost members".
* In ''[[Gakuen Heaven]]'' nearly every character is a member of a different club. The main character is forced to visit every club so he can choose one to join.
* In ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', Mion Sonozaki is the Class/Club President. The school is so tiny that she can get away with being both.
