Overview
Nariyuki Yuiga is in his last and most painful year of high school. In order to gain the “special VIP recommendation” which would grant him a full scholarship to college, he must now tutor his classmates as they struggle to prepare for entrance exams. Among his pupils are “the sleeping beauty of the literary forest,” Fumino Furuhashi, and "the Thumbelina supercomputer," Rizu Ogata–two of the most beautiful super-geniuses at the school! While these two were thought to be academically flawless, it turns out that they’re completely clueless outside of their pet subjects…!?
High school life usually leans on tired tropes, but this 2019 animation attempts a different angle by pitting rigid academic obsession against actual personality. The series subverts the classic shounen harem structure by focusing on the gap between public intellect and private reality. Characters like Fumino Furuhashi are framed as geniuses in their specific fields, only to stumble completely when faced with the basic demands of average life.
Ryota Osaka leads the cast as the aspiring scholar tasked with balancing his own future alongside these eccentric pupils. The comedy functions by pulling humor from the desperation of entrance exams and the crushing weight of senior year. Rather than purely focusing on romance or fantasy, the show trades on the absurdity of gifted students who are otherwise helpless. It highlights how intelligence in one department rarely prepares a person for the common messiness of growing up.
