About

At Private Sakuragaoka Academy, there is a tradition that has lasted for over 80 years. It is the "Seating Chart Marriage System," which begins in the spring of the second year of high school. Based on a lottery, ideal type surveys, and compatibility diagnostics, the school determines male-female pairs who will spend the next two years together until graduation. They sit next to each other. School events such as sports festivals, cultural festivals, and school trips are basically conducted in these same pairs. No changes are permitted. Furthermore, once a month, a "Seating Chart Marriage Ranking" is announced for all pairs. Evaluation criteria include grades, attendance rates, level of trust, reputation among students, number of confessions received, devotion, lack of scandalous rumors, and "Ideal Couple" votes. And the most important factor is "Pure Love Points." This evaluates how much they cherish their partner and whether they have built a sincere relationship. Teachers, the student council, and the principal monitor daily behavior, so popularity alone isn't enough to reach the top. The top-ranked pair is designated as the "Golden Pair" and earns a "Love Free Pass" (commonly known as the Flirting Right), granting them access to a special lounge and a private terrace. Then, on graduation day... A "Seating Chart Marriage Registration" is handed to every pair. It has no legal standing. However, submitting it is a declaration of intent: "Even after graduation, I choose you as the most important person in my life." In truth, this system was born from the real-life story of the founders, who were once seatmates. Furthermore, there is a secret record showing that not a single couple who submitted the registration and actually married later has ever divorced.
