Add one more of the summer season series to the Sentai Filmworks catalog, at least somewhat, as they company has announced the license for Love, Elections & Chocolate. The press release doesn’t list any home video information at all and just indicates digital distribution will be coming soon for the title. Presumably it will operate in the same fashion as previous acquisitions where once they have some streaming numbers for it, they’ll decide how to proceed with it. You can find more ongoing discussion here.
Plot Concept: In Japan, participation in extra-curricular activities is as fundamental a part of an education as chalk and gym shorts. However, not all students are overachievers, and for those like Yuki Ojima, groups like the Food Research Club are welcome havens in which to slack-off. But what’s a slacker to do when the radical new candidate for Student Council president announces her intent to get rid of clubs like the FRC? Well, getting the help of the current Student Council president is a good start, but HIS suggestion is so counter-intuitive that it’s crazy: Yuki should run for the Student Council himself? And yet, it’s SO crazy that it just might work! Especially when Chisato, the chocolate-adverse president of the FRC (and Yuki’s best childhood friend,) and members of other targeted school clubs start to join the swelling FRC army. But can this army of goofs and goof-offs coast all the way to political victory? Or will someone have to step up to the plate and take one for the term? They may savor victory, they may taste defeat, but you’re certain to eat up LOVE, ELECTIONS & CHOCOLATE!
