Manabiright Launches "Summer Victory Strategy Meeting" - A Free, Online, 1-on-1 Consultation for 2026 Applicants Aiming for General Selection and Recommendation Entrance Exams to Organize Their Application Plans

Arikano Inc. (Headquarters: Adachi-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hidetaka Hisamatsu), which operates the online individual tutoring service "Manabiright," will begin accepting applications for its new "Summer Victory Strategy Meeting" on July 7, 2026 (Tue). This initiative is timed for the summer break, with only three months remaining until the general selection application period begins in September, targeting 2026 applicants. The "Summer Victory Strategy Meeting" is a special, completely free, online, 1-on-1 consultation designed to help students organize their application plans. It is aimed at 2026 applicants (current high school seniors and graduates) who are aiming for general selection and recommendation entrance exams.

"Is it still possible to make it in time?" This is the most frequent question Manabiright receives from high school seniors, graduates, and their parents. In the "Summer Victory Strategy Meeting," we will address this question by helping students organize what they need to do and by when, in the three months leading up to the September application deadline.

General Selection Lacks a "Current Status" Indicator – Why Summer Applicants Struggle to Act

The application period for general selection typically intensifies from September each year. Unlike general entrance exams, there is no metric like a deviation score to gauge a student's current standing. Consequently, many applicants enter the summer break unsure of "what to start and when."

Manabiright has received feedback from high school seniors, graduates, and their parents, such as:

"I'm busy with club activities and haven't started preparing." "I haven't narrowed down my target universities." "I only recently learned about the general selection option and feel I'm falling behind in my preparation." "I want to apply for both general entrance exams and general selection, but I don't see a clear path to managing both."

The common thread in these concerns is the question, "Is it still possible to make it in time?" Manabiright aims to answer this by presenting a concrete schedule of what can be achieved in the three months before the September application deadline.

Designing a 3-Month Countdown Schedule to the September Application

The preparations required for general selection applications can be broadly divided into three areas:

Completion of the Statement of Purpose: Self-understanding × University Research × Logical Construction Connecting Both

Interview Preparation: Creating anticipated questions and answers × Practicing for the actual interview through mock interviews

Essay Preparation: Understanding question formats × Practice writing × Feedback through revisions

The "Summer Victory Strategy Meeting" will focus on organizing how to approach these three areas. We will design a plan tailored to each student, outlining "what to do, by when, and in what order."

Many students who start self-study in the latter half of the summer break find themselves unable to secure enough time for revisions and feedback, leading to missed application deadlines. Organizing a plan at the beginning of the summer break is crucial for successful preparation for the September application.

Four Steps to Organize Your Application Plan in the "Summer Victory Strategy Meeting"

The "Summer Victory Strategy Meeting" is more than just an information session. It's a completely free, online, 1-on-1 session that organizes each student's application plan through the following four steps:

Step 1: Articulating the Current Situation

We will transform vague aspirations like "I vaguely want to go to university" into concrete directions of study aligned with the student's current situation.

Step 2: Countdown from the Remaining 3 Months

Working backward from the acceptance date, we will schedule the application submission, document preparation, and initial tutoring periods.

Step 3: Alignment with the "Victory Blueprint"

We will compare the student's current preparation status with the common sequence of steps taken by successful general selection applicants.

Step 4: Designing an Individualized Approach

We will design the necessary support system for each student, considering factors such as learning methods, compatibility with tutors, and frequency of guidance.

Three Key Features: "Completely Free, Online, 1-on-1"

The "Summer Victory Strategy Meeting" is characterized by the following three points:

Completely Free: There is no participation fee.

Completely Online: There are no geographical restrictions. Participation is possible from anywhere in Japan.

1-on-1: Individualized support is provided based on each student's specific situation.

If students require Manabiright's support to execute the plan developed during the meeting, we will provide information on our separate 1-on-1 individual tutoring services.

Support That Isn't Limited by Location, Starting This Summer

For students living in areas without nearby general selection preparation schools, those whose club activities end late and want to start serious preparation during the summer break, or those who need specialized preparation beyond what school teachers can offer, our completely online environment connecting students directly with tutors nationwide offers a way to maximize the limited three months.

Three months until the September application deadline: The "Summer Victory Strategy Meeting" is a place to organize each student's application plan in response to the question, "Is it still possible to make it in time?"
