School Lunches (Kyusoku): In elementary and middle schools, food is not brought in; it is prepared in a centralized school kitchen. Students, wearing chef's hats and gowns, take turns delivering food carts to classrooms and serving portions to their classmates. They eat lunch at their desks with their homeroom teacher.
Life After School: Clubs (Bukatsu) and Hellish Exams. Official classes end around 3:00-4:00 PM, but no one goes home. Mandatory club activities (bukatsu) begin. Clubs are divided into sports (kendo, baseball, soccer) and cultural (music, calligraphy, tea ceremony). Students practice until the evening, even on weekends and vacations.
After clubbing, many head to Juku—private evening "intensive study schools" (tutoring centers). In Japan, there's a term for it: "exam hell." The competition to get into universities is so intense that teenagers study 12–14 hours a day, sacrificing sleep and their personal lives.
In Japanese schools, students sit strictly alone at desks. Unlike many Russian or European schools, where it's common to sit in pairs, in Japan each student has their own individual desk and chair. Desks are arranged in neat rows (usually 5-6 rows of 6-7 desks each), facing the board and the teacher. This seating arrangement has several important reasons: 1. To combat cheating and to concentrate: Individual desks help students focus on the lesson and avoid being distracted by conversations with their neighbors. During numerous tests and quizzes, desks are simply moved slightly apart, making cheating virtually impossible. 2. Regular seat rotation ("Sekigae"): Although students sit alone, they are not assigned to their seats for the entire year. Once a month or once a term, Japanese classrooms hold a sekigae (席替え)—seat reassignment. This is usually done in the form of a lottery: students draw pieces of paper with seat numbers from a box. This is done to promote class cohesion and unity.

Family SuffixesWithin a family, polite suffixes are often combined with kinship suffixes: -nee / -nee-san: Older sister. -nii / -nii-san: Older brother. -ji / -ji-san: Grandfather (or middle-aged man). -ba / -ba-san: Grandmother (or middle-aged woman).
The Japanese education system differs greatly from its European and Russian counterparts. School life is built on strict discipline, collectivism, independence, and a cult of exams. It is precisely in this atmosphere that Scaramuccia studies art, which we discussed above.
The unusual calendar and 6-3-3 structure. The school year in Japan begins in April, when the cherry blossoms bloom, and ends in March. Schooling is divided into three terms: Term 1: April–July (followed by a summer break of about 6 weeks). Term 2: September–December (winter break for the New Year). Term 3: January–March (a short spring break before the new school year).
Elementary School (Shōgakko): grades 1–6 (ages 6–12). Compulsory and free. There are almost no exams, with an emphasis on manners and socialization. Middle School (Chūgakko): grades 7–9 (ages 12–15). The final stage of compulsory education. Strict discipline and the first school uniforms begin here. High School (Kōko): grades 10–12 (ages 15–18). It is not compulsory and always requires a fee (although public schools are cheaper). Nevertheless, about 98% of teenagers enroll in it. To get into a good high school, you must pass extremely difficult exams.
No cleaning staff (O-soji): Japanese schools don't have cleaning staff to clean classrooms. After school, students themselves mop the floors, wipe the boards, take out the trash, and even clean the school toilets. This is believed to instill respect for the work of others and modesty.
Change of shoes (Uwabaki): At the school entrance, there are lockers (getabako) where each student is required to change into identical white rubber sneakers. Wearing street shoes around the school is strictly prohibited.

In Japanese, nominal suffixes (called keigo) play a vital role in communication. They indicate the level of politeness, social status, the degree of closeness between people, and the speaker's attitude toward the interlocutor.
They are added to the last name (more formal) or to the first name (more friendly). Using the suffix to refer to yourself is strictly prohibited.
The most popular and universal: -san (-san): The most common and neutral-polite suffix. Similar to the words "sir" or "madam." Used with strangers, colleagues, and simply in polite everyday speech (e.g., Tanaka-san). -kun (-kun): A less formal suffix. Most often used for boys, guys, or men of the same age (as well as those younger in age/status). Sometimes, bosses at work use it for subordinates of either gender. -chan / -chan (-chan): A diminutive suffix. Used for children, close friends, pets, or loved ones. It is similar to our diminutive names like "Mashenka" or "kitty."
Formal and respectful -sama (-sama): The highest degree of respect. Used when addressing clients, customers, gods (Kami-sama), or people of much higher status. In anime, it is often used to address lords or kings. -dono (-dono): An old, archaic suffix. Translated as "gracious sovereign" or "lord." Today, it can be heard in historical films or anime about samurai and ninja. Suffixes by profession and status Sensei: A separate word and suffix for teachers, lecturers, doctors, lawyers, as well as manga writers and artists. Means "born earlier" (master of their craft). Senpai: Addressing a senior colleague, an experienced workmate, or a high school student. Kohai: Junior in status, position, or class.
