Welcome to Jiinagi Academy, the finest educational institution in Ouni Prefecture!
Thanks to our rigorous coursework, our beloved students are well trained for the various challenges life throws at them, from programming, to philosophyto demonic invasion. Experience the wealth of cultural and social experiences Jiinagi offers, from drama club to swim team to mind control. Mingle with your fellow classmates, learn tolerance, love and understanding of different points of view, such as those espoused by a debauched cult under the watchful, yet benevolent, eye of the Absurdly Powerful Student Council (tm).
Third-year students can look forward to instruction from the following well qualified professionals and mentors:
Act now, space is limited, and spots are filling fast with quality students like these (and yes, that really is teen sensation Igara! Jiinagi prepares you for success, whatever your career choice):

Visual Novel World is a game system developed by steelsmiter. I'd describe it as a hybrid-narrative system, with simpler mechanics than a d20-based game. In this system, you tend to make one abstract roll to determine success/failure ("roll Sports to climb out of the pit") instead of a bunch of rolls with highly detailed modifiers ("so that's a -2 for the slickness of the rope, with a +1 bonus thanks to your teammate's success at tying it off at the top. Though you're still a little dazed from your fall into the pit, so -2 from that. Because you have infravision, I don't need to apply the low light penalty. Though I will need checks for every 10' of the climb so we can determine how much damage you take if you fall")
Because this system is designed to replicate a Visual Novel, your character can't really die. Defeated, bound and corrupted by the forces of darkness, maybe, but even that's not common. Most challenges are about lighter things, like getting that hot stud or babe to notice you, struggling your way to a passing grade on a pop quiz, catfighting with a rival, or winning a hurdles race. When you do get damaged, healing and recovery takes place through acts of affection. Or, if you're boring, you can visit a doctor or do bed rest or something.
In this system, you make your character with three stereotypical visual novel archetypes, from journalist to tsundere to accidental pervert. Many other archetypes can be found in the system PDF available here - that link includes the main book and an expansion, though much of the expansion material may not be relevant to this roleplay.
This roleplay can run with as few as one PC, and we've already got one lined up, so this RP is guaranteed to run! Familiarity with the rules is not required (this is a playtest game, so we're all learning) and knowledge of the setting is even less important (since I mostly made it up myself).

Jiinagi Academy is in a small surburb-of-a-suburb called Oseigi Falls, nestled at the base of Mt. Klimaka.
Jobs in Oseigi Falls are dominated by the Sokoru Hightech Electronics (S.H.E.) factory, which has been responsible for an economic boom in the area. Traditionally the city mostly got by on tourism from its renowned onsen hot springs resort in the north, and waterfall in the south. Port Oseigi was a sleepy complex that mostly shipped grain and wine from the rural areas to the south, until S.H.E. came along. With increased development has come increased amenities, which has made the city more attractive to business. One new addition is a branch office of Sky Helix Corporation, a bio-agricultural conglomerate.
