People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.

WTF. How common are those? Are they fancy private schools or something? Does Japan even have a public school system? I always assumed they did.

Your high school "resume" is very important.

I've been reading Sono Koi wa Ichigo no Youni, and it's hecking cute.

I've seen it used both for people who aren't in clubs, and also for people who got to schools where club attendance is mandatory, so they just play hookey.

Yeah it depends on the school, some of the higher end college prep high schools have mandatory club, but most of the public schools while they have clubs they are not mandatory generally.

But if you go to some of the higher end schools showing a lack of effort by not joining a club is frowned upon, with the exception if you are in student council or any other committee.

Doing extracuriculars looks good to college/university. Therefore you are all required to do one, making it both no longer extracurricular, and no longer relevant to colleges.

It's Tautology Club all over again.

So basically like when they would force us all to take a second language because “colleges like to see it”.

Yeah I have a friend who went to high school in Japan and he joined the Student Council just so he could get around the requirement to join a club, and because it would look good on his educational resume.

Yes, and to be fair in Japan, English is compulsory from 3rd Grade up for Business reasons, so you are already required to take a second language.

Looks like the translator has bad or missing raws for a few chapters so is waiting for the volume 2 release which should be pretty soon. The manga should also wrap up at the end of vol 2 so that's nice.
