'deer child, brazen, waiting for a chance') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Oshioshio.

An anime television series adaptation produced by Wit Studio aired from July to September 2024.

Torako Koshi, a second-year at Hino Minami High School, maintains a perfect student image to hide her delinquent past.

Her life turns chaotic when she meets Noko Shikanoko, a transfer student who is actually a reindeer in human form.

Nicknamed "Koshi-tan" by Noko, Torako struggles to balance her model student façade with the club's bizarre and psychotic activities.

This unlikely friendship challenges Torako's carefully constructed identity and cripples her sanity, which often leads to comical situations as she navigates school life with a deer-girl in tow.

It is produced by Wit Studio and directed by Masahiko Ohta, with Takashi Aoshima writing and supervising scripts, Ayumu Tsujimura designing the characters, and Yasuhiro Misawa composing the music.

'Deer-Colored Days') performed by Megumi Han, Saki Fujita, Rui Tanabe, and Fūka Izumi as their respective characters in the Deer Club, while the ending theme is "Shika-senbei no Uta" (シカせんべいのうた, lit.

During the fight, Torako is overwhelmed, but Noko hands her one of her antlers, which explodes, destroying the gym and sending everyone flying.

Torako decides to spy on Noko to see if she has a weakness, but only witnesses her doing nothing and eating bananas that she stows inside her antlers.

Torako doesn't want to take part, but learns that the other members have already signed her up for it and that the prizes that they win are fortunate, making her reconsider.

However, she and Noko must have a strong bond in order to win, so Torako starts training and ends up embarrassing herself when Ukai walks in on her performing.

The winners are then revealed to be Tsunuyoma from Nara Park and Mr. Tanabe; it remains unclear whether Noko and Torako even attended.

The video of Noko and Torako's antics proves to be an embarrassment to the latter, especially when she discovers that Anko and Meme had watched the whole stream.

At the Deer Shrine of Hino, Torako, Anko, and Meme are waiting for Noko, but decide to go without her when she doesn't show up.

The deer from Hino Zoo arrive to encourage her and she gets the idea to destroy the cedar trees causing the hay fever, which Neko agrees with.

Before the fight can start, Kumatori is interrupted by a call from his wife and is forced to leave; however, he is arrested by the police after forgetting to put his gun back in its case.
