I’m not sure I’d call it my favorite, since it’s the only one I know, but here’s another example: Hanazakari no kimitache e (both manga and jdrama) has the three dorm heads rediscover a school tradition naming them as the Sakura Committee. The Sakura Committee dresses in white suits with long coats. They’re the only students who can challenge a teacher’s decision, and they can do so only en masse.
Naturally, the story requires that they challenge authority on someone’s behalf, but then we’re into spoiler territory.
I don’t remember whether the manga times the first appearance of the committee to coincide with a particular season. In the tv version there’s definitely no indication, though.
And thanks for taking the trouble to reply here. I try to remember to check back on posts where I’ve left comments, but sometimes the tab is open only at the office or only at home… hence my wish for the feed, anyway. :)

p.s. Do you have a feed for all comments, by any chance? If so, I can’t find it….

I don’t have a feed for all comments. I’ll look into setting one up, now that I know there’s interest!

Ah, apparently there is an automatic comments feed. (I heart WordPress.) I’ve added the link to my sidebar; it’s http://joykim.net/comments/feed.
