Synopsis
1st Year= Kiyotaka Ayanokōji has enrolled at Advanced Nurturing High School, where it's said that 100% of students go on to college or find employment. But he ends up in class 1-D, which is full of all the school's problem children. What's more, every month, the school awards students points with a cash value of 100,000 yen, and the classes employ a laissez-faire policy in which talking, sleeping, and even sabotage are permitted during class. One month later, Ayanokōji, Horikita, and the students of D-Class learn the truth of the system in place within their school... 2nd Year= Ayanokouji is finally moving up to his second year of the Advanced Nurturing High School, after having safely evaded the last exam of the first year along with Tsukishiro’s schemes. The entry ceremony is soon held after the short spring vacation. The new first year students are finally arriving, as if to greet the coming of April. Standing neck to neck with the second years, the new first years have unique personalities full of ups and downs.

What’s more— There is an enforcer from the White Room among them.

Special exams against the other second years, the stepping stones to ascend to class A, dodging the tenacious Tsukishiro and the enforcer’s attacks while counterattacking, and their own human relationships. The first days of the second year of the Advanced Nurturing High School is finally about to begin! And they are not by any means ordinary—
