Voice actress and singer Yumi Hara is playing Eri Hanae in the anime. She previously performed theme songs for Dusk maiden of Amnesia and Corpse Party: Tortured Souls -Bōgyaku Sareta Tamashii no Jukyō-. She has also performed songs as a member of The IDOLM@STER cast.

The anime will premiere in October on the AT-X, BS Fuji, Tokyo MX, Sun TV, and KBS Kyoto channels.

Masato Jinbo (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei!, Nozo × Kimi) will direct the television anime adaptation under the title Ore ga Ojō-sama Gakkō ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Gets-rareta Ken at the Studio Silver Link. Kento Shimoyama (Bleach, Servant × Service) is in charge of series composition. Hiromi Mizutani (Hell Girl, Toriko, Non Non Biyori) of Team-MAX is composing the music for the series and Takao Sano is adapting the character designs for animation.

In the romantic comedy's story, an ordinary high school boy is kidnapped by an elite young lady's academy to be a "sample of the common people." The school is full of sheltered girls who have never met male peers before.
