University Exams are one of the most influential factors in one's early life. Depending on the results, a fantastic, high class, honorable life may await you. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you may be left only leftovers. In this type of battlefield atmosphere, students are always doing their best to “evolve” and survive. “Learning Types” are students who have studied hard their whole lives and legitimately memorized everything they have studied, while “Cheating types” are those who, as the name suggests, only managed to climb the educational ladder by cheating. Though sometimes they must cooperate with each other, there is a great rivalry between the two types. How will the hero “Mumei”, a C Type, followed by the heroin “Koi” a L-Type, struggle in those tests. Now a new battle, one beyond imagination, is about to begin.

Where it came from
Cheating Craft is a 2016 Japanese television anime series produced by Studio BLADE. The series is based on a Chinese web novel by Xuan Feng Yin, reflecting the broader trend of cross-cultural collaboration between the Chinese animation industry and Japanese production houses during the mid-2010s. It is set in a high-stakes academic society where success in exams is linked to a student's survival, employing a satirical approach to the pressure-cooker environment of standardized testing.
The character designs and animation direction were intended to lean into a zany, fast-paced aesthetic that emphasized the absurdity of the show's premise. By blending traditional shonen-style action sequences with the comedic tropes of academic rivalry, the studio aimed to create a distinct, lighthearted tone. While the series did not receive widespread critical acclaim, it remains a notable example of the experimental efforts to adapt web-based source material for a global television audience during that period.
