Synopsis

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?

Preliminary (72/73 eps)
A few words beforehand.

First of all, I want to say that I take the concepts brought by pieces of fiction very seriously because more often than not, they represent the author's own point of view towards the world.

It is that and also the fact that it was recommended to me on the idea that the protagonist was a villain or something like that.

Trash, only reason i don’t give it a 1 is because there is a base story that is followable with characters that are somewhat realistic.

The basic premise is a a boy who came from some research facility trying to prove he’s not a monster by going into a school with a pretty stupid system with the main gain being 100% employment when you come out, funny as japanese universities have pretty high employment as companies don’t care how hard you studied in school, just that you have the degree. Whilst the school itself runs on a trash point system that kicks out underachieving individuals (I ...

Preliminary (73/73 eps)
As of the time of this review (3/16/26), out of all about a hundred manga I've read, this is the lowest rated one I've scored alongside another Isekai slop manga I won't mention.

Without throwing slander towards the entire series in other mediums, the manga alone has a lot of glaring issues that are objectively and subjectively bad.

1. Poor setup and pacing - Compared to let's say the anime or the light novel, the manga's way of introducing Ayanokoji and the school's system felt anticlimactic and lacking. Considering how every light novel original is too complex to be adapted towards manga format, it is to ...
