Synopsis
Japanese
What is the real ability――? What is equality――?
Advanced Nurturing High School, a leading prestigious school with state-of-the-art facilities where nearly 100% of students go on to university or find employment. The students there have the freedom to wear any hairstyle and bring any personal effects they desire. Advanced Nurturing is a paradise-like school, but the truth is that only the most superior of students receive favourable treatment.
The protagonist Kiyotaka Ayanokōji is a student of D-Class, which is where the school dumps its "inferior" students in order to ridicule them. For a certain reason, Kiyotaka was careless on his entrance examination and was put in D-Class. After meeting Suzune Horikita and Kikyō Kushida, two other students in his class, Kiyotaka's situation begins to change.
From the super popular creator duo comes the new school revelation?![1]
English (Seven Seas version)
The Only Evil is Weakness
From the outside, attending the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School seems like a dream come true. Its students are given remarkable freedom, and it boasts a placement rate of almost one hundred percent. Tokyo Metropolitan can get students their places in the elite jobs and universities of their dreams--if they can win, barter, or save enough points to work their way up the ranks! Ayanokōji Kiyotaka has landed at the bottom of this cutthroat academy in the scorned Class D, where he meets Horikita Suzune, a girl who's determined to rise up the ladder to Class A. Can they beat the system in a school full of ruthless competition?[2]
