In anime and manga (and I guess real life), how do the Japanese school sections work?

While I watch and read a bit…I’ve never figured out the Japanese school system. What is 2B versus 3F? Do they go by year? Are the letters denoting general scholastic ability? Is A better than C?

What’s the equivalency to the American system? (9-12 grade = ??? in Japan)
Thanks!

In Japan their school system is really different from our own.
Firstly they dont have primary or highschool. They have primary school (years one to six), middle school or secondary school (basically years 7,8,9,10) and then senior school (years 11,12).

For your question, the first letter 2 in 2B or 3 in 3F is the year they are in. If they are in secondary school and their classroom is 2B, they are in year eight, because year eight is the second year of secondary school. The B in 2B or the F in 3F and so on is just the class they are put into.

I hope i helped but its probably really confusing.

Bakemonogatari Anime Figure Kanbaru Suruga Statue $59.99 Kanbaru Suruga Statue sculpted by Hirotoshi Nakamura. Unique anime figure from the smash-hit series Bakemonogatari. Comes with two different left arms– bandaged and “monkey paw.” Kanbaru Suruga is playing hoops with two basketballs! Enjoy a ball-dribbling clinic with Kanbaru! From the smash-hit anime series Bakemonogatari, comes the third in a series of statues from Kotobukiya, the basketball-playing lesbian Kanbaru Suruga! Practicing her moves, Kanbaru is seemingly frozen in the midst of a complicated exercise involving two basketballs. Bent at the waist and looking back at you with a smile, the charming girl holds one ball behind her while bouncing the other one between her legs. Kanbaru is bright and colorful with a pink-and-red shirt, gray skort (half skirt, half shorts), and red, gray, and white basketball shoes. She comes with two different left arms (bandaged and “monkey paw”) that offset her innocent beauty. Sculpted by Hirotoshi Nakamura, this Kanbaru Suruga Statue stands just over 6-inches tall (1:8 scale) on a specially designed display base that also captures her second basketball in mid-air. Enjoy a ball-dribbling clinic with Kanbaru! Originally on the track team, Kanbaru attempted to use what she thought was a mystical monkey’s paw to wish herself faster. A demon in disguise, the arm grafted itself to the girl’s body, and she must learn to live with its presence.

Essence of Anime – Perfect Blue $16.96 Without the exploding mutants and robotic high school babes that most Americans associate with Japanese anime, this film is a taut psychological thriller. At the behest of her agent, Mima leaves both her moderately successful girl-pop band and her virginal image for an acting gig in a sexy television drama. Her new career and new look does not please all of her fans, though. She soon finds herself being stalked by a shadowy figure with long hair and bad teeth, and she discovers that someone has posted disquietingly intimate details about her private life on the web. Later, the architects of her new image, a photographer and screenwriter, are found stabbed to death. But what unnerves Mima most is that she feels increasingly threatened by an evil incarnation of her former pop icon self. Is she being pursued by an irate Mima impersonator or has she slid into some kind of delusional psychosis? Perfect Blue is directed by noted anime screenwriter Satoshi Kon. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Azumanga Daioh Anime Figure Osaka Swimsuit Statue $43.99 Space out with Osaka! Ditsy statue from Azumanga Daioh. Sculpted by Tsukuru Shirahige. From the countryside to your collection! Originally released as an exclusive limited-event edition garage kit in 2002, this schoolgirl from Azumanga Daioh is back in a beautiful statue that requires no assembly or painting. The daydreaming Osaka sits curled up with an inflatable pink floatation tube on a specially designed base. Dressed in a nondescript red swimsuit, the innocently cute girl looks upward with her huge brown eyes as though she were looking straight into yours. Great care has been placed on making Osaka’s pose look natural, so she rests one hand on the other and sits with one leg forward and the other turned to the side. Sculpted by Tsukuru Shirahige, she’s 4-inches tall (1:7 scale) and is constructed of high-quality PVC plastic. Take her home and space out with Osaka! The ditsy but still lovable Osaka! A unique female character who would resonate with Azumanga Daioh fans, Osaka may be plain in looks, but she more than makes up for it with her incredible imagination and sense of humor.
