School environment
ABOUT THE SCHOOL
Osaka High (Ohsaka Gakuen as written in the entrance gate of the school in the Japanese drama adaptation) is an all-boys school and its students are very popular to the girls of the other schools. Its sister school is St. Blossoms, an all-girls high school, where the students are the exact equivalent of those in Osaka High. St. Blossoms' main motto is "to give joy and happiness to the school life of every Osaka High student."
There are three classes for each of the three school years. These nine classes are divided into three "dormitories", as most of the students do not stay around the school area. The culture within the individual dormitories is immensely different.
Dorm 1: The students residing in Dorm 1 are martial artists. Their Dorm Head, Tennouji, quite forces them to become a martial artist and often times even hurt them, but in a funny and comical way. Dorm 1's crazy antics and martial arts talent contributes immensely on the humor of the story.
Dorm 2: Their head, Nanba Minami, is a "walking-genital" (as referred to him by his mother Io). He is a lady-killer and a playboy.
The people in Dorm 2 are quite funny and they have different personalities so it's much easier to remember them. They are the "main dorm" in the story mainly because the lead charcters, Ashiya Mizuki, Sano Izumi, and Nakatsu Suichi, stays there. Also, there is Noe, the genius inventor; Nakao, the homosexual who loves Nanba; Kayashima, the spirit questor/aura-reader; Sekime, Sano's teammate whose name is always forgotten by his classmates and dorm mates; and many more.
Dorm 3: The dramatic guild. They consider themselves the most intelligent dorm of all. They frequently consult spirits for help and inquiries about problems in the school. Their dorm head, Himejima Masao a.k.a. Oscar, often gets possessed by spirits, thus, making chaos and laughter in the whole school.
Inter-dorm rivalries are common, and would get particularly intense during the school's cultural festival. However, the three dorm heads, known as the Sakura Committee, would work together to help any student who was in any kind of trouble.
