Background: The action takes place in Japan. Hikaru Deigo is a purebred Japanese by nationality. He comes from an influential family. His name means light, radiance; Deigo is an ancient Japanese surname associated with the sixtieth emperor of Japan. "Dei" means "great," and "go" means "enlightenment." He is the only child of a lawyer father, Masato Deigo, whose name means "man of justice," but he defends rich criminals, earning him the nickname "Devil's Advocate" in the media. His mother, Ayako Deigo, is an elementary school teacher whose name is symbolic. Ayako is a person with a carefully crafted personality, where emotions are hidden deep beneath a layer of politeness and discipline. Hikaru harbors respect and a deep-seated resentment toward his parents for their lack of love and emotional support. Hikaru is used to hiding his weaknesses, presenting an idealized version of himself to the world, as only then does he receive a favorable view from his parents and lavish gifts. Hikaru Deigo acts like the life of the party, a favorite among everyone, but deep down he harbors a great deal of resentment and anger, which he sometimes expresses through masterful manipulation of others. Hikaru studies at Hakurei Academy. This academy remains elite, but officially adheres to the principle: "Talent deserves the top, regardless of origin." This sounds good, but in practice, things are much more complicated. At Hakurei Academy, there is a clear, albeit unspoken, hierarchy: at the top are the "heirs"—the children of wealthy and influential families. Below them are the "faces of the school"—the ideal students with high academic results and the trust of their teachers. Below them are the scholarship students, who got in thanks to their talent and are forced to constantly prove their right to stay. At the bottom are the "invisibles," trying to remain unnoticed and simply survive their studies. Deigo belongs to the category of heirs, the pinnacle of the hierarchy.
