Line 6:
It is also sometimes evoked in the division of sections, especially if the classes are arranged in a hierarchical order based on academic performance. Being put into the first, or "star" section may interfere with the plot due to academic pressure (except when it's the focus of the plot, of course) interfering with the protagonists' high school life, while being in the last section may indicate that the protagonist is of poor academic standing or is a delinquent. That's why the protagonist is usually put in the median section of the year level. This type of classification standard in Japan; a protagonist in Anime or Manga will be put into section 2-C or 2-D for the matter.
For whatever reason, the main characters in high school settings are often divided among these lines. While not an ironclad rule (such as in the case of [[School Days]] or [[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]) it is actually surprisingly rare to find a high school setting that breaks this mold for no reason.

Line 16:
* Hayana from ''[[Twinkle Saber Nova]]''.
* The class in ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' are second years and [[Status Quo Is God|always]] [[Negative Continuity|remain that way]].
* ''[[
* ''[[School Rumble]]'': plays this straight (including the sections 2-C and 2-D).
* ''[[Daily Lives of High School Boys]]'''s main characters are in class 2-A.
Line 44:
* Shirou and Tohsaka in ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' are both second years, while Sakura is a first year. No real important third years, but the fact they aren't graduating until the next year is an important detail in the UBW True End epilogue.
* ''[[Kanon]]'' has Yuuichi transferring in during his second year, with the older Mai and the younger Shiori.
* ''[[
* In ''[[Tsukihime]]'', Shiki is 17ish. Ciel can be his sempai and {{spoiler|when Akiha transfers in, she can be a first year.}}
* In both ''[[Persona 3]]'' and ''[[Persona 4]]'', the main character is a second-year student. Both start off by transferring to a new school, and both quickly gain at least one male and one female friend of the same age/in the same homeroom. However, while P3's lead gets some experienced sempais to work with, P4's heroes surprisingly lack a sempai {{spoiler|who doesn't get killed before the main plot begins, anyway}}.
