Self-explanatory. High school (grades 10-12) should play a major role in the title. Azumanga Daioh is an excellent example of this category. A typical High school series will include a Sports Festival, a Cultural Festival, and a school Trip.

Tooru Honda is a 16-year old girl living in a tent in the nearby mountain woods. Her father died when she was very young and her mother had just recently died in a car accident. Not wanting to put her grandfather (on her father's side) out while his house is being renovated, she told him she would stay with friends so no one knows she's living in a tent. In the meantime, she goes to school and works her part-time job on a cleaning crew so that she can pay her high school tuition (in Japan, high school is like college in the US). |

Buy | The petite and quiet Tsukamoto Tenma is in the second year of high school. With a nip of spring in the air, she has developed romantic feelings for a fellow student, Karasuma Ooji-kun, (not that he has a clue.) Having learned that Karasuma will be leaving for another school next year, she has promised herself that she would confess to him, no matter what, and she enlists the assistance of her little sister and friends to help her in her various plots to be alone with her Ooji-kun. But what of the scary motorcycle riding delinquent classmate, Harima-kun? Is it possible that he has fallen hard for Tenma-chan? To what lengths might a lovesick student go too to be with the person they hold most dear? |

Watashi no ashinaga Ojisan |
Living in an orphanage in the United States during the 1920’s, Judy Abbott does her best to manage the younger kids and help out, but things always seem to get out of hand. As punishment for one of her playful pranks, she has to write a ‘reflective essay’ on her misdeed - which she does, but with a lot of creative wit and sarcasm. Her essay is read by a member of the board for the orphanage, who decides to anonymously sponsor her tuition for a upper-class private all-girls boarding high school, but with the condition that she writes a monthly letter telling him of her new life. Not knowing the name of her benefactor, Judy gives him the nickname of 'Daddy Long Legs' and tells of her new life with her friends at high school. |
