Hikaru Sato (Bakuman. episode director) is directing the July television anime adaptation of Kuroha's schoolgirl manga Kitakubu Katsudō Kiroku at the anime studio Nomad (Kämpfer, Kyōran Kazoku Nikki). Takahiro Sasaki (Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts animation director) is designing the characters, and Go Zappa (NAKAIMO - My Little Sister Is Among Them!, Koihime Musō) is supervising and writing the scripts. The idol group Otome Shintō is performing the opening theme song.
"Kitakubu" (literally, "go-home club") is Japanese slang for kids who go home instead of joining clubs, sports, or other afterschool activities. In one high school, there is a real "Kitakubu" of girls who do whatever they like. The president is a free spirit named Sakura, while Botan is the combative heir to a school of ancient martial arts. Claire happens to be the daughter of the head of the powerful Kokonoe conglomerate. Natsuki joins the club at the invitation of another freshman, Karin, but she is unprepared for the hijinks there.
