Shino preparing to read rule 13
The "Ousai Academy Student Council Rules" are a set of rules that Shino introduces just before the opening of each episode. She is usually accompanied by Aria, who is playing a small handheld drum and Suzu, who is blowing a whistle, however other characters like Hata will sometimes make a cameo, and will take over the drum or the whistle role. After the rule is read, Tsuda reacts and is usually horrified or at least questions the validity of the rule, however there are a select few that he seems to agree with, if only partially.
Rules 1-13 are from the TV series while 14-21 are from the OVA's.
The second season of the TV series sees the rules change into articles with clauses.
Articles 1-13 are from the TV series while 14-21 will be from the OVA's.
An example of how Shino introduces a rule from Season One: Shino: The Ousai Academy's Student Council Rules, One! No Secrets. Report everything! Tsuda: Everything?!
An example of how Shino introduces a rule from Season Two: Shino: Ousai Academy's Student Council Rules, Atricle Two, Clause One! Feel free to rub one out in the morning! You're still young! Tsuda: We're doing this again?
Season One Rules[]
As mentioned above, Shino introduces a Student Council Rule before the opening theme of each episode. For season one she begins by saying the following, which is then followed by the rule:
Shino: The Ousai Academy's Student Council Rules:
Shino: One! No secrets. Report everything!
Tsuda: Everything?!
Shino: Two! Be careful when losing your virginity.
Tsuda: That's a council rule?!
Shino: Three! If they see it...respond by showing it!
Tsuda: Show What?
Shino: Four! Recycle porn magazines you've already read!
Tsuda: Oh, that's surprisingly useful.
Shino: Five! Play with it...in moderation!
Tsuda: Eh? With what?!
Shino: Six! Never talk about breasts!
Tsuda: She's actually serious!
Shino: Seven! I prefer using pads!
Aria: I use tampons, though.

Tsuda: Which is it? Actually that isn't bad!
Shino: Seventeen! Just one more year of various things to endure until we're eighteen!
Tsuda: What do you mean by various-ah, you don't have to say.
Shino: Eighteen! Even minors can enjoy it!
Tsuda: When I think about it, that's pretty commendable!
Shino: Nineteen! If you're going to come, come together...
Tsuda: Ah, I expected something like that.
Shino: As a group going to school!
Tsuda: It wasn't like that?!
Shino: Twenty! If you hunt for two, the bunny girls won't like it!
Tsuda: A High Schooler can't even go to those places.
Shino: Twenty One! "Big brother, did you go through my dresser?"
Tsuda: Eh? Don't look at me!
Season Two Rules[]
For Season two of the anime the rules becomes Article Two, with each "rule" becoming a Clause. However, each Clause is numbered like the rules of season one. Shino introduces them in almost the same way as Season One but seems to drop "the" from the sentence(?), opening with:
