BAKEMONOGATARI Part 1

More than that, she’s a girl who embodies what a class president should be. Her prim and proper braids, her glasses, her good manners and good behavior, how incredibly serious and loved by the teachers she is, puts her on the endangered species list in this day and age even if you count manga and anime.

In other words, a class president among class presidents. Possibly a class president chosen by the gods, as one person has been rumoring like it’s the unvarnished truth (that would be me).
