Sket Dance (スケット・ダンス Suketto Dansu?, romanized as SKET DANCE in Japan) is a manga series written and illustrated by Kenta Shinohara and serialized, beginning in July 2007, in Shueisha's manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump. Sket Dance won the 55th annual Shogakukan Manga Award in 2009 for best shōnen manga. An anime adaptation, produced by Tatsunoko, premiered on April 7, 2011 on TV Tokyo.[1]

Contents

[edit] Plot

The manga focuses on the (mis)adventures of Kaimei High School's campus support club, the Sket Dan (Katakana: "スケット・ダン"; Kanji: "助人団"; Transliterration: "Suketto Dan"; Translation: "Helper's Club"; included English acronym: "SKET (Support, Kindness, Encouragement, and Troubleshoot)"). Dedicated to the general improvement of campus life, the Sket Dan is devoted to solving any & all problems submitted by the staff or student body. However, due to its general lack of meaningful assignments & the unglamorous reputation of being just a 'group of handymen', the Sket Dan is treated with widespread contempt and it is composed of only three members.

The story is told through a series of short, self-contained stories focusing on cases undertaken by the Sket Dan and is usually told in the space of one to two chapters. Cases to date focus on a variety of issues from more humorous cases (like chasing monkeys around the school or helping a wanna-be samurai find out why he cannot win kendo tournaments) to more serious cases (like those hinting at Himeko's violent past or those concerning near-terminal illness).

Characters from previous cases also often make cameos in later ones and recurring storylines, such as the Sket Dan rivalry with the school's Student Council.

Turns out Switch is helping Yuuki with a request- to choose and purchase a laptop, so she can create a website dedicated to her passion of all things occult.

Hijinks ensue, with the embodiment of 'Otaku' and 'Occult' clashing their interests and respective positions(supernatural vs science) against each other all the way(in their usual fashion). Nonetheless, they seem to be getting along well(again, in their own way), and even Bossun and Himeko note how unusual it is for Switch to be going out of his way to help his 'archrival', Yuuki.

Switch and Yuuki then bump into her old crush from middle school, Kobayashi, who was there with another girl. He talks down to Yuuki, which seems to rub Switch the wrong way. After he leaves, Yuuki confides to Switch her past in her middle school: she was melancholic and had few friends, but wanted to try falling in love. She started having feelings for Kobayashi who was rather popular with the girls, but he turned her down citing her scary appearance. After hearing the story, Switch decides to bring her around the mall to do a total makeover for her. Later, after being abandoned by the girl he was with, Kobayashi spots a beautiful girl standing alone by a fountain outside, and hits on her. This turns out to be post-makeover Yuuki, however, and together with Switch, she finally turns the tables on him. On the way home, they bond over the incident, with Switch still denying any romantic interest in her. However, she notes, he will go with her again the next day to shop for the laptop.
