In the distant future, the Japanese government plans to establish the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School [Tokyo’s Koudo Ikusei Senior High School] to educate and prepare the generation of citizens who will support the nation in the future. In order to closely mimic real life, students are given a great deal of freedom.
The story is about this prestigious government-favored school where nearly every student is assured employment or university admittance. The students there have complete freedom and are not subject to any constraints. Even while the school may appear to be a utopia for the students, it is rigged in favor of the most sought-after and excellent students. Of course, the pupils are placed in a ranking system. Class-D, where the school dumps the most inferior kids in order to embarrass them, was the most detested class. They believe that Class-D is overflowing with only troublesome students.
