Expelled with a money refund. It's all good for the guys we'll never see again, but I'm glad this arc is over.
Now we can get to romcom parts and a better cast of characters. Can't wait!
@Chuggoth Oh hell no, keep romcom elements out of this! Or just in occasional chapters, but otherwise as far in the background as possible. If I want to read a Masuda romcom I'll stick to Jitsu wa, thank you.
Anyway, I'm glad they didn't back out from the "bottom twelve out" rule. It's handled much more humanely than I expected all in all. And the page of Tanuma crying is simply beautiful.
But, err, shouldn't Hoozuki know all this already?
@Lyendith Well, I guess it was my poor choice of words.
What I had in mind was SoL with gag setups and romcom elements.
Pure romcom like in Jitsu Wa wouldn't exactly work in this setting.
I'm actually more surprised there weren't newspeople and/or angry parents outside (or even in the school, if not the classroom) when the results were announced. The whole setup was on the national news, after all.
