Fanart Friday returns, and for real, new high school seniors: go to Sober Grad Night. You have all of college and the rest of your adult life to learn the true meaning of "hangover." Last week, we finished a four-week look back at the last four years of Fanart Friday, but this week we're starting the final four with our last BACK TO SCHOOL EDITION!
I used it on the first one, I'm damn sure using it this time too
As you know, plenty of anime take place at school--you'll see magic high schools, martial arts high schools, high schools that teach exorcists to fight demons, high schools full of the strongest delinquents, and every now and then you'll see a plain old regular-ass high school, just for variety. Now, bell's ringing--let's get started!

So I want to look back on the last five years of Fanart Friday kinda like the way a senior in high school looks back on their last four years. Or three, if we're in Japan, but I'm not, so four it is. You met all kinds of fun weirdos like the ones in Nichijou...

...and you may have even joined a club or two. Hopefully not one like GJ Club's "Amusement Club," which I've already ranted about here.

Maybe you took up a sport, like kendo! Bamboo Blade's Taka is just trying to go full Saber here, you won't actually get to do that in a kendo class.

Maybe you got someone to regularly walk you home, or to school, or both! Full Metal Panic teased this kind of resolution every now and then but never really pulled the trigger (no pun intended).

Maybe that someone was just a group of people you hung out with, who dragged you into their clubs! Anybody have a musical awakening in high school like in Kids on the Slope?

In the end, all distractions aside, you have to set some time for lessons, and ultmte has the most important Pokemon lesson of all on the board: ATTACK TYPES!

Also whether your high school romantic life was a total SNAFU or not...
by コ゛りぼて
...or you ran into someone really scary like Oreshura's Masuzu...
by わわこ
...or you ran into somebody who's leading a double life that puts the goddamn Batman to shame...
by oda
...or you get roped into some messed up "Game Creation Club," yeah... maybe high school romance is just too dangerous for some people. Also, yes, I watched the first couple episodes of D-FRAG! and thought they were pretty okay.

Y'know what, love is in the air in high school, but y'know what's more fun? MARTIAL ARTS! Go start something like Tenjho Tenge's Juuken Club and run yourself ragged!
If, y'know, getting hit isn't quite your style, you can always go join a sports team and aim to be the ace--Haikyu!! is all about starting from the bottom and working your way up!
by ハラダミユキ
When all's said and done, though, you may need to just step outside and get some fresh air. Take a walk, reflect on your goals, maybe watch some Silver Spoon afterward while you reflect on your goals.
by AaronAzama READER SUBMISSION!
And just remember all the crazy-ass people you ran into since day one. AaronAzama has given us all of Trigger's (high school-age) characters in one shot!

So whether life just beats you down and you have to fight your way through every step it gives you...
by びび
...or you already know what you want to do and are starting the long, hard road to get there...
by 冬木
...when school (or work) feels like a literal life-or-death struggle and you're working hard...
by sin3c12
...or hardly working...
...or literally just coasting by...
by Keiryuu Seo
...respect your teachers, and have some hustle! You survived life's tutorial mode--now, real life is ready and waiting!
And speaking of having hustle...
by celebistar READER SUBMISSION!
You know I'm always down to support fellow artists, especially when they're regular contributors to Fanart Friday! celebistar has a Nobunagun fan anthology coming up, and you can pre-order it by checking out the link below the pic! Show some love!
And that's everything for this week! There's no way I could have included every school-related anime or manga--what are your favorites? Sound off in the comments and let us know!

Now, here are the next three themes for Fanart Friday!
-Next week, on SEPTEMBER 2nd, I'll be out at PAX West in Seattle, but we're still going to have our very last RECAP EPISODE before the end! Catch up on the last six months before we close up shop! 3 LEFT!
-Then, on SEPTEMBER 9th, we're going to (briefly) cover some topics we missed over the last five years: my REGRETS list! What are the Fanart Fridays that should have been? 2 LEFT!
-On SEPTEMBER 16th, I'm turning to all the guest writers, readers who've submitted art, and just plain fans of Fanart Friday for YOUR GOODBYES! 1 LEFT!
