Synopsis:

Yuta Otosaka's academic exchange takes an unexpected turn when he arrives at Alphonso Gakuen, a secluded boarding school on a remote Pacific island. This institution, seemingly dedicated to rigorous study of history and alchemy, harbors a deeper purpose: to cultivate the next generation of rulers. Within its walls, students – often the offspring of powerful figures – are groomed for leadership through intensive academic programs and unique trials.

The series follows Yuta's experiences alongside his classmates as they navigate demanding coursework and personal challenges, all while striving to embody the qualities expected of a "Marginal Prince." The narrative explores themes of ambition, legacy, and the complexities of power, set against a backdrop of historical study and fantastical learning environments. It presents a thoughtful exploration of destiny and self-discovery within a structured, yet unconventional, educational setting.
