Haven't you heard? I'm Sakamoto (坂本ですが?) is a 12 episode gag comedy based on the manga of the same name by Sano Nami. It initially aired on Japanese TV over the Spring of 2016.
High school freshman Sakamoto has caught everyone's attention in school; admiration of the boys, attraction of the girls and scorn of the delinquents. He spends his days avoiding traps, stealthy showing off his mental and physical prowess. All while remaining composed, cool and humble. Much of the show is devoted to various schemes the schools delinquents hatch to punish him for his attitude and admiration. He easily outwits them at every turn and manages to draw admiration and respect from them. In the end though a notorious and dangerous upper class-man sets his sights on Sakamoto and continues to push others to attack him.
There really is little in over all plot. Each episode is broken into a few vignettes, some of which are loosely connected, that show off Sakamoto's genius while building the personalities of the side characters. In more than a few ways the series reminded me of Cromartie High, much to my amusement. The characters are fantastically odd ball, and given that one of the main punks is voiced by the same actor who does Gintama's Gintoki is an added bonus. This is a good gag comedy series and I wouldn't mind reading the manga.
The series was simulcast on Crunchyroll, no word on a video release but it was licensed by Sentai. Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga so I will have to look for it!
