"Escape from School!" ("学校を出よう"; "Gakkou wo Deyou!") is a light novel written by Nagaru Tanigawa (谷川流), illustrated by Maao Aou (蒼魚真青), and serialized in Dengeki Bunko (電撃文庫).

Introduction

A slapstick story that takes place in The Third EMP Academy (第三EMP学園), one of the academies for mandated custody of people (mainly teenagers) possessing superpowers called EMP. Basically the story is narrated in first-person perspective, but the narrator is not fixed.

There are currently six volumes published under the series, but rumor has it that the series would be suspended for the moment after Volume 6. Whether this is officialized is not clear, but there has been no sequel to the series since Oct 25 2004.

However, in the author's comments at the end of "Boku no Sekai wo Matoru Hito" Vol 1, the author has expressed that he is still thinking about the storyline, so there are many fans who anticipate a sequel to the series.

Key Terms

• EMP

Superpowers discovered among teenagers.

Power usage and effect vary greatly, and there is no common way of discovering EMP.

It is only recognized in Japan, and specifics are still not clear about such physics-defying phenomenon, the mechanism for discovery, and the exact span before EMP disappears.

It has been around 30 years since the first case was discovered, and the percentage increase rises over the years. By the time the story occurs, there has already been several thousand cases of EMP.

On average EMP is detected at the age of 14, and disappears at the age of 18. EMP holders above junior school are to be isolated in the Public EMP Academy, which includes high school and university, until the powers disappear.

Due to information manipulation from government agencies, EMP's existence is unknown to all but those whose direct relatives are EMP holders.
