Winter 2010

Fumizuki Academy is not a typical Japanese high school. This unique institution has implemented a new and innovative system to sort its students. At the end of their freshman year, students take a test that divides up the student body. The highest scorers are placed into A class, all the way down until F class, for the lowest of the low.

Unfortunately for Akihisa Yoshii, his supposedly “great” intellect was not quite enough for such a test, and he is now stuck at the bottom of F class. Naturally, F class has the worst facilities: not only rotten tatami mats and broken tables, but also outdated equipment and worn out furniture. On the bright side, his friend Yuuji Sakamoto is in the same class, and to everyone’s surprise, the genius girl Mizuki Himeji has also ended up in the same class due to an unforeseen fever on the day of the test.

Unsatisfied with their perquisites, F class rallies behind Yuuji, determined to take on the higher-tiered classes in order to seize their perks by using the school’s Examinations Summon Battle system. The participants can summon fantasy characters—whose power levels are equal to their student’s test scores—in an all-out battle. Will F class be able to rise to the top, or will they live up to everyone’s expectations and fail?

Di distrik Ikebukuro, pusat kota Tokyo, di tengah banyak rumor aneh dan peringatan tentang geng-geng anonim dan penghuni berbahaya, ada satu legenda urban yang menonjol—keberadaan “Penunggang Hitam” tanpa kepala yang konon terlihat mengendarai sepeda motor hitam legam di jalanan kota.

Mikado Ryuugamine selalu mendambakan keseruan kehidupan kota, dan ajakan dari teman masa kecilnya meyakinkannya untuk pindah ke Tokyo. Menyaksikan Penunggang Hitam di hari pertamanya di kota, keinginannya tampaknya telah terkabul. Namun, ketika peristiwa supernatural mulai terjadi, warga biasa seperti dirinya, bersama dengan penduduk Ikebukuro yang paling berwarna, terlibat dalam keributan yang terjadi di kota mereka.
