This show has a guy who had to pretend he’s gay in order to save his dick. This show also has a lot of girls who apparently doesn’t know about commoners and the common culture AT ALL—more like they’ve been isolated from that area—and overall, this show doesn’t make sense.
Apparently, the lack of common sense is this show’s charm, and that’s where we get on to our review of Shomin Sample, which is also known as:
- Ore ga Ojōsama Gakkō ni “Shomin Sanpuru” Toshite Rachirareta Ken, or
- I Was Abducted by an Elite All-Girls School as a Sample Commoner.
This series is about Kimito Kagurazaka, who lives a normal school life until he gets pranked by his childhood-friend-slash-voice-actress and lands in a classy academy filled with girls as a “sample commoner” only that he has to pretend he’s gay because his childhood friend told the school as such.
Why it had to end up like this? The all-girls academy, Seikain, is facing a challenge where their graduates end up as shut-ins because they don’t know how to mingle with commoners. In the first place, why they have to isolate their students from the common world—even if they are classy rich people? It does not make a bit of sense to me.
Now that’s Kimito’s “job” to do that. Thankfully, he can still read YuruYuri in school.
There he met his share of aloof girl classmates: Aika, Hakua, Reiko, and Karen. That, alongside lots of girls and assisting maids inside the school.
The comedy in itself is laughable—in one episode, they even have a Shominland just to discover how common life is… until the burger they serve is not actually the style McDonald’s used to make. It’s like receiving a Whopper when you ordered a Champ. Comedy ensues.
I honestly do not want to recommend Shomin Sample, but it’s hard not to resist. I said earlier that its lack of common sense is its charm—it’s not just lack of common sense, but it’s the way the series break expectations and stereotypes that makes me baffle.
If you have the ability to turn off your brain’s obsessive compulsion, you might want to watch this series. It’s just one of the different things that you can pick up in a wasteland of light novel adaptations. Thank goodness it has its uniqueness.
