The part about the odd not fitting in, I wonder how much the school itself might play a part in it aside from the social circle of schoolmates and friends/family? I've sometimes read in manga, and even sometimes read a news story, about Japanese schools requiring light-haired pupils to dye their natural hair. That conforming mindset, especially combined with Japan's notorious lack of mental health faculties, does present huge issues...

I've seen some anime do things like introduce a new character who was chronically absent, and shows up because they were looking at repeating a grade. I can see schools getting lax with attendance due to it not being compulsory. Basically, it's treated as the kid's/family's problem if they don't make use of the enrollment, and no longer the school's problem because the student doesn't have to be there by law.
