The Difference in Schools Between Anime and Reality

The Difference in Schools Between Anime and Reality

Some schools like Ouran High School Host Club's Ouran Academy and Vampire Knight's Cross Academy are obviously unreal, but even typical anime and manga have tropes that just don’t happen that often! Japanese netizens are here to burst the bubble on the fun, ideal school life we see in anime.

A thread on 2chan in Japan is packed with the situations and experiences users find especially unlikely, and here are a few of the most shattering ones that we just don't want to deal with because reality hurts ><

1. The roof isn’t accessible.

But how about all the cool things that happen on the rooftop??

*My school at least let us go up to the roof. On the other hand, though, there were too many people up there, so those anime-like situations where it’d be two people on their own didn’t happen.”

2. There aren’t any lone guys in an all girl’s school.

No lone girls in all boy's schools either...

3. These’s no Literature Club or SOS Brigade.

Nooooooooo

4. The student council doesn’t control the school.

Nor is the president a hot vampire

Student council presidents don’t remember everyone’s face and names, and they can’t just go doing whatever they want. The stalls at school festivals were shabby, too.

Some of those are a little disappointing, huh? On the plus side, you don’t have to worry about ending up somewhere scary like the infamous Class 3-E in Assassination Classroom’s Kunugi Gaoka Junior High School!
