Well... *some* of the reason for the prevalence of high school settings is that for salarymen (or women) in their 20s and 30s --- its NOSTALGIC. It takes them back to a simpler time when the future looked brighter. Adult workplace settings are "bringing work into one's home relaxing time" if not handled carefully. But I do find the lack of college settings a bit surprising ... surely college is fun in Japan. The Japanese college students I know seem to be having a pretty good time - especially in the artistic focus colleges.
