Plot and Setting: What is Chojo Senpai All About?
If you haven't read the manga yet, Choujo! Chojo Senpai is basically a "superpower police comedy" that is set in the bustling district of Chinjuk Kabukicho. The story takes place around a rather unusual inn located right in the heart of the red-light district. It follows the hilarious and often chaotic interactions between Chojou Messuru, who is a police sergeant blessed with incredible supernatural powers, and Nao Ippongi. Nao is a rookie officer who is widely known by her nickname, Gorilla, thanks to her massive physical strength.
The dynamic between these two is the soul of the series. While Chojo uses his psychic abilities for almost everything except actual police work, Nao tries her level best to keep things professional, though she often ends up losing her temper. It’s a classic buddy-cop setup but with a very weird and funny supernatural twist that makes Choujo! Chojo Senpai stand out from other seasonal comedies.

The anime seems to be in very capable hands. The series is being directed by Junichi Yamamoto, who is known for his work on several recent hits. Handling the series composition and the screenplay is Hayashi Mori, while the animation production is being looked after by Arvo Animation.
