NEWS: S.A.'s Maki Minami Launches Seiyū ka—! Shōjo Manga

What I hated about S.A. was how friggin spoiled the characters were.

I really hope this portrays voice actors in a much more realistic sense, and not the hyperbolic affluence that S.A. really suffered from.

This definitely looks to be a step up from S.A. I never made it past the 1st chapter of that one, the whole "rich kids have problems too" and the magnitude of the density of the leading heroine did not jive well with me at all.

So I'm guessing you guys don't like OHSHC either, then? S.A. certainly isn't the only series exploring this (in a comedic way at that! Sheesh), much less the only popular one. ><

Ouran host club used an old music room. S.A. had a farking private complex where only those "special" students could go. and chillax and do pretty much nothing. At least the Host Club provided some sort of function... the S.A.... what did they do really? They were "special"? Well, ummm... okay.

Oh, come on. Ouran Academy, including the Host Club's music room, is just as blatently and absurdly over the top as S.A.'s private complex. And they are that way by design! You're not meant to take these aspects seriously! And the meaning behind "S.A." is that the students in said class are the best academically, a point that Minami makes abundantly clear throughout the manga, often in a ridiculous manner, which, again, is by design. Hayate The Combat Butler is another series that has a similar ridiculous theme. It all adds to the comedic appeal, at least to me and the fans of the three series here mentioned.
