Sket Dance

Sket Dance (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kenta Shinohara.

The manga was adapted into an anime television series produced by Tatsunoko Production, and was broadcast on TV Tokyo from April 2011 to September 2012, airing 77 episodes.

The manga follows the shenanigans and day-to-day activities of the Sket-dan (スケット団, Suketto-dan, "SKET Brigade" in the Animax broadcast), a high school club dedicated towards helping other people in the campus of Kaimei High School, whether teacher or student, with whatever request they have – completely free of charge.

Together as the Sket-dan, the trio take on requests from different kinds of individuals around their school, and no matter how big or small the request, no matter how mundane or absurd, the Sket-dan manage to always get the job done – all on a mission to improve the lives of the people in their high school.
