description High School! Kimengumi Overview
The Funny-face Club are technically high school students, but that's where the normal part ends. The five members (Rei Ichidou, Gou Reietsu, Kiyoshi Shusse, Dai Monohoshi, and Jin Daima) all have unique faces and even more unique personalities. Whether you're talking about temperaments, intellect, physical quirks, or behavior, they're all complete weirdos! Alongside them are other colorful groups at school like the Pretty-boy Brigade, the Buckle-down Bunch, and the Rebel Crew, alongside classmates like Yui Kawa and Chie Uru, and all their teachers who also get caught up in the chaos.
Together, they dive headfirst into a nonstop series of wacky, wild antics.

Who are the five members of the Funny-face Club in High School! Kimengumi?
The club consists of Rei Ichidou, Gou Reitsu, Kiyoshi Shusse, Dai Monohoshi, and Jin Daima — five students with bizarre faces and even stranger personalities. Most of the comedy comes from their pun-laden wordplay and chaotic behavior rather than any real plot.
Will I get the jokes in Kimengumi if I don't speak Japanese?
Much of the humor is based on Japanese puns, which makes it one of the harder classic comedies to fully translate. Fans of visual slapstick and absurd reaction faces can still enjoy it, but the wordplay that made it famous depends heavily on the original language.
