Set in the prestigious national high school 'Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School' established by the Japanese government, the story is about a dispute over 'Class A' whose members are destined to achieve any desired success after their graduation.
Plot
editThe Japanese government has established the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School, dedicated to instruct and foster the generation of people that will support the country in the future. The students are given a high degree of freedom in order to closely mimic real life. The story follows the perspective of Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, a quiet and modest boy, who is bad at making friends and would rather keep his distance, but possesses unrivaled intelligence and incredible physical ability. He is a student of Class-D, which is where the school dumps its inferior students, widely considered "defective". After meeting Suzune Horikita and Kikyō Kushida, two other students in his class, the situation begins to change, and he gets involved in many affairs and his thought of an ideal normal high school life begins to get scattered, taking a toll on his sanity.
