Synopsis
Elite high school uses point system for ruthless class competition; Class D's Ayanokouji and Horikita aim to rise.
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! Kiyotaka Ayanokouji has landed at the bottom of this cutthroat academy in the scorned Class D, where he meets Suzune Horikita, 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? (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)
