Kiyotaka Ayanokoji has just enrolled at Tokyo Koudo Ikusei Senior 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. The school awards students with a points for cash system and employs a laissez-faire policy. One month after enrolling Ayanokoji, Horikita, and the students of Class D learn the truth of the system in place within their school.
