From MangaUpdates:

Quote:
The protagonist is a guy who is among the stupidest of the stupidest in the school. In this school, your grades can, under the supervision of teachers, take a virtual form to do combat! However, if you leave an examination half way, you get zero marks. A bright and cute girl, Mizuki Himeji, was having a high fever during the examination. Despite her potential to be the second highest scorer in the level, she obtained zero marks for having left due to her illness and is thus allocated to the worst class, class F.

Grades mean almost everything. For Class A, they have a smart-looking teacher, a plasma TV as big as the entire wall as their blackboard, personal laptops, personal air-cons, refrigerators, adjustable seats and all kinds of different appliances. Within the refrigerator, there are all kinds of drinks and snacks. Their ceiling is made of glass, the wall lets them put up high-class drawings and plants.

As for Class F, the worst class... They have Japanese desks and seat paddings. Their blackboard is dirty and there is no chalk even! Someone complains that the legs of his desk are broken, so the teacher asks, "Didn't we distribute some glue to stick wood together? Glue it back yourself later." Another one complains that wind is blowing in from the broken window. The teacher says, "I got it. I will apply for plastic bags and invisible glue to fix it later." There are spider webs everywhere, not a patch of the wall is clean. A unique moldy smell spreads across the entire room; it must be from the old tatamis used to tile the floor. This is the status of class F.

The protagonist feels displeased at such an arrangement, and seeks help from his friends to try to make a change through summoning war!! And they devise all kinds of plans to try to beat the famous class A, intending to get class A's classroom and equipment if they win!!

So what do we think - scam? Real? The series has done well, so it's not entirely far-fetched.

I want to somehow say Akihisa... but that just doesn't seem plausible. I'm sticking with this theory, though.

I'm pretty sure that's Akihisa with wig and breast pads since his frontal bangs/hair is the same. (unless Aki has some unknown twin sister that I don't know about then)

So what's the story behind Akihisa cross-dressing on that cover, assuming it is him? Is he trying to join the Hideyoshi gender?

ah nowadays you don't even need a reason for cross-dressing in anime, it just comes naturally

I really can't see season 2 happening with wat we covered in the anime so far. Since season 1 ended with a resolved conclusion.
- Himeji continues to stay at Class F, therefore Akihisa has no urge to wage war again
- Shouko's marriage request was declined until for few years. The most we'll see again is mindless tasering and a pissed off Yuuji.
- Class F getting along with Class A, (well that's the impression I got from the last minutes and from the pairings)

I don't think we should keep the name baka test season 2, the new title should be: Baka to Test to Trap.

Stories are a mutable entity. Be it stage or screen, they never end just because they end. New motivations, new events, new characters, ways will be found.

Oh ya,and about "why aki dress like a girl" thing...

I want to said it,but mod definitely not gonna let me say something about the light novel.

So what will they fight over this time? Aki just wanted Himeji to go to class A but it seems like she doesn't want to go for obvious reasons (to all but Aki). I'm looking forward to this.

That just makes it more interesting what the second season will be about

i have a feeling we'll see more antics of the inner circle.... and i highly assume that the close members of class A also went to Akihisa's inner circle of friends. and i highly believe that in the course of this series, shouko will always live up to her title of 'Electroshock Queen'

Well, Baka Test was the most popular new anime series this season so naturally a second season is completely in order. I'm not entirely sure what direction they'd go through either, but whatever they do they'll need to add new jokes among the old jokes. As much as I love the taser and all that, a new season calls for new content.

Why the hell's it taking the second season of Baka Test so long to come out

It's already been about two weeks since the first season, I'm getting tired of waiting.
