Ep. 1: Kiyotaka Ayanokouji enters Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School to explore merit-based systems
Aired on July 12, 2017

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, a disinterested student, begins his first day at Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, a government-run institution designed to cultivate Japan's top talent. The school operates on a strict meritocracy where students receive a monthly point allowance to spend at local shops, with all outcomes determined by these metrics. As Ayanokouji navigates this competitive environment, he forms connections with two distinct peers: Suzune Horikita, a distant and aloof outsider, and Kikyou Kushida, who is notably outgoing and sociable. These early interactions set the stage for his experience within the school's unique social and economic hierarchy.
