Girls are still attractive at that age.
Why are you obeessed with Japan?
because work is shit doubly so in japan
Life of an nipponian ends after school and he becomes a nolife turbowagie
Also they are pedos
Wagie life is just postponed death.
Otakus were bullied in high school and Japan has a feeling known as "the nostalgia for what never happened".
because students watch anime
It's the last time in their lives in which they can still feel like they're part of some sort of community
Because everyone in japan is a wagie and high school is the last time anyone remembers as a good time
better to market something relatable to the major demographic thats reading it.
they've never grown up from it
why are american obsessed with guns and grease?
It is a very pivotal stage of life
Not that I would know. They could be pretending it is, just like we do in where in high school
Actually university is basically the last chance of freedom to the Japanese before workforce. In Japanese universities, there's surprisingly little studying, just spend most of the time slacking off and boozing. Grand Blue is accurate in that regard.
Their world is so shit that it's the only time where you can have fun, after that your life ends.
I believe you mean freedom eurotrash.
>surprisingly little studying
That's because they have already "proven" themselves by passing the entrance tests for the universities. Grades and skills hardly matter afterwards, only the place you went to is important for your future career
>freedom land
>get shot for nothing
>get in prison for saying tranny
You can have fun past high school, people just pretend that it's not acceptable because of society-wide sunken cost
>get shot for nothing
That has never been true, at least the people who died from gunshots knew they took one for the team
What about freeters and the like?
Unfortunately, most freeters live miserable lives
As you get older you'll yearn for the sense of purpose and community that you had in school, even if your experience was hellish.
i thought they were more into kindergarten
Sorry I thought you were just saying in general, not Japan specifically
I was indeed refering to Japan.
Too young.
The cool thing about IRL Japanese highschool besides stronger bonds is that there's relatively less bullying compared to middle schools.
Style of the time. Go 40 years back and it's all sci-fi and fantasy that's popular.
>Japan has a feeling known as
literally every country has this feeling. it's a universal feeling.
Yeah but it is particularly strong in Northeast Asian countries.
>their world
woah the japanese live in an isekai?
What I heard from an actual Japanese:
Its because youth years are seen as the "good carefree" times so alot of people have nostalgia about it.
People who have miserable lives in highschool and/or corporate workforce wish they would get reincarnated in isekai.
>get in prison for saying tranny
that only happens in california.
Then what the fuck do you learn in universities if all that matters is passing the entrance test?
how to suck boss cock 101
denying war crimes
basis of neglecting your family
You learn a lot about shitty Japanese beer, sake and other booze. Nothing about sex though.
Is sex education in Japan not good enough?
That's not what I meant, user
Since in college you need to get serious in your studies
In highschool you can laze all day without studying much and you can still graduate
t. student who drops out of engineering like a pussy because I failed caclulus
Life is over after school in Japan, college might be fun but is harder to write a story about it but that's it, meaning that if you are writing a contemporary story you really have not many options to work outside these 2 settings.
It's actually the opposite for Japs.
Dude, universities being expensive day care centers it's a reality everywhere and any time.
School is the time of youth; clubs, mixed gender class, love for the first time, after school time, friends, thinking of your future and having dreams and hope etc
After that life is college (beer, mixers and part time job for liberal arts major, research and writing reports for stem majors) then looking for jobs at third year
Then job which is basically slaving in some company your whole life till you die from suicide or overwork
Reading this thread makes me angry, because I am not a Japanese student
And how exactly is that different from ''the west''? It sure feels that way to me even though i actually hated highschool.
Well, as someone who is currently in college, I miss high school a lot. I talked with my seatmate all day, the girls were young and cute, I didn't need to worry about my future, I didn't need to worry about my clothes because I just wore a uniform every day, there wasn't any bullying unlike elementary school, etc. Now I just go to class and then back home. It sucks. I want to go back. It's no mystery why japs like high school so much. It's probably the last time you feel like you belong somewhere
I don't know. It seems to me as if western series, movies, books and so on don't include a high school setting as often as animu and mango do. But I might be wrong, I don't watch stuff from the west as much as I watch nippon animation
I really don't get it either. School fucking sucks, If I were to ever go back to school It would just be an experiment to see how much shit I could get away with. At least now my work actually finishes at 16:00pm and I can pack up and spend the rest of my day as I want instead of doing essays and equations all evening.
I hate it because I used to be the top grade in all classes I attended to. Then I learned that being academically gifted is actually an attractive feature in Japan instead of a social stigma (i.e. lol nerd).
>tfw had a horrible experience untiil i was 22 and able to stand on my own feet because parents were abusive
i have zero good memories or nostalgia for those times at all. wageslavery sucks but my coworkers and bosses treat me better than my own family ever did, and i can buy whatever i want and do whatever i like now without answering to anyone.
High school is shit, but life only gets worse after.
Yeah but many japs jump straight from HS into wageslavery

>After that life is college (beer, mixers and part time job for liberal arts major, research and writing reports for stem majors) then looking for jobs at third year
Heheh... yeah, yeah it was totally like that for me too.
How and why?
I don’t think I can ever express how much I hated high school.
as mentioned at some point in this thread, not everyone can get into an university because the admission process is nightmarish
They apply for some shitty salaryman job because they need money or they didn't pass the unversity tests or both
Maybe it would have been if you had been born a non autistic nip
