Is the completion rate of japanese schools that bad that they need to constantly try to motivate manga readers to stay in school?
Mandatory education is to create pliable citizens. Most countries give it undue weight, but Asians especially merged the Prussian style of "factory schools", which were a byproduct of Napoleon stomping them, with Confucian ideals to create a very rigid system to churn out worker-citizens.

That would explain all of the "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STAY IN SCHOOL AND KILL YOURSELF STUDYING FOR UNIVERSITY PLEASE!!!!!!" plot points in a lot of manga.

such a sweet chapter, even if it was short

it's actually such a big deal to show the characters in this way. we have anjou unsure of herself and seto being the one to instill confidence in her, which is a flip on the entire series' themes up to this point. we also see anjou in the same position we saw seto in wayyyyy back in the manga.

loved this

It's not specific to the east, they are more focused on testing, standardization, and compliance because of those Confucian ideals, but the west has lowered the bar while continuing the undue time investment, 12-16 years of life, and lowering that bar actually kicks the can further down to higher education, diluting it and creating an industry of credential stamping. Reading John Taylor Gatto reframed a lot of my private suspicions formed during my own stay in public education.
