About

At Sakuragaoka Academy, a tradition has continued for over 80 years. It is the "Seatmate 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 spent with the same partner. No changes are permitted. Furthermore, once a month, the "Seatmate Marriage Rankings" for all pairs are announced. The evaluation criteria include grades, attendance, trust, reputation among students, number of confessions received, devotion, lack of scandalous rumors, and the "Ideal Couple" vote. And most importantly, "Pure Love Points." This evaluates how much one cherishes their partner and whether they have built a sincere relationship. Teachers, the student council, and the principal monitor daily behavior, so popularity alone won't get you to the top. The top-ranked pair is designated as the "Golden Pair" and earns a "Love Free Pass" (commonly known as the Flirting Right), allowing them to use a special lounge and private terrace. Then, on graduation day... A "Seatmate Marriage Certificate" is handed to every pair. It has no legal force. However, submitting it is a declaration of intent: "Even after graduation, I choose you as the most important person in my life." In fact, this system was born from the true story of the founders, who were once seatmates. Furthermore, there is a top-secret record showing that not a single couple who submitted the certificate and actually married later has ever divorced.
