Product Information

While I had some definite issues with this novel it ended up being surprisingly compelling all the same. It starts out seeming like an ordinary student life story at a prestigious school. However, there are hints here and there that something is off. It’s not until the middle of the book that the truth behind what’s going on at the school is revealed.

However, it’s not one sided. One of the teachers comes onto Ayanokouji at one point and makes obvious innuendo. I’m not sure if the point of that was for entertainment or to play into the growing, underlying threat that both the teachers and school atmosphere itself present to the students who have just recently learned the truth.

Chabashira reveals that the students are placed into each of the classes is based on their merits, with the best students being placed into Class A and the defective ones being placed into Class D.

After they arrive, Horikita asks them if they would join her study group once more. They all show their distaste for studying and plan on cramming, especially Sudō, who wants to prioritize basketball. Horikita explains the plan that they made to get them to study while also not using their free time, which consists of spending their time during class to memorize and study questions, and then to use the time in between the periods to personally teach them whatever they had issues understanding. They only agree to the plan after Kiyotaka gets Kushida to offer the person who gets the highest score the permission to take her out on a date.A spin-off manga illustrated by Sakagaki and centered around the character Suzune Horikita was serialized in Monthly Comic Alive from June 2017 to May 2018.

Kiyotaka goes to a vending machine and noticed the selection option for free water, which causes Yamauchi to remark that the cafeteria had free meal options. Kiyotaka recalls seeing many upperclassmen partaking in the free meals, to which Yamauchi replies that it was probably due to having no money at the end of the month.

An unnamed person speaks to the reader of the novel, asking them to think about the state of society. They then talk about equality in society, concluding in the end that equality does not exist. They go on to refer to a famous passage which states that learning creates imbalances in equality, emphasizing that the teaching remains the same, albeit in a more complex situation, in the modern era.

Kōdo Ikusei Senior 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. Kōdo Ikusei is a paradise-like school, but the truth is that only the most superior of students receive favorable treatment. I really enjoyed this book. Or, rather, I really enjoyed the second half of the book. Honestly, I’d like to give this light novel a high score, but the first half weighed it down too much. It’s not the first half was bad per se. It just didn’t have anything extraordinary or innovative that made it stand out (minus the prologue). Plus, the fan service or similar tropes felt recycled. But once you get to the halfway mark, the novel gets much better. As someone who hasn’t watched the anime, I am excited to see what is going to happen in the next volume and hope it stays interesting. Kushida proposes the idea of having Kiyotaka invite Horikita to Pallet, a very popular cafe on campus, where they would then "unexpectedly" run into Kushida.

Even so I found myself curious to see what would happen next and how this misfit class would find its way to work together once the reality of the school set in. As I opened my eyes again, I was in the place again. Every time a soul passes through me, my subconscious comes along with it. I don't know what kind of a place this is, but what I can say is that I don't like this place. Because aside from a lot of scary human souls, there were also different creatures lurking around as well, and each soul passed through me, making my time inside this place longer and longer. But I was only spending about ten minutes right now. But what I was scared of the most was if the time would come that I would stay here forever. in Japanese). Media Factory.
