Light was bored as everything was easy for him until he found the death note.
So why didn't he skip a grade or two and graduate early? That seems like it
would be the most logical thing to do for Light if he was bored.

question
death-note
Why didn't Light skip a few grades?


The answer is quite simple. It is not possible to skip grades in Japan.

There were very rare exceptions at some schools, but he attended University of
Tokyo (I don't remember the name was same or altered), where it was not
possible to enroll by skipping grades as of the time of Death Note (According
to [a
source](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%A3%9B%E3%81%B3%E7%B4%9A#%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E3%81%AB%E3%81%8A%E3%81%91%E3%82%8B%E6%AD%B4%E5%8F%B2),
it may become possible soon.)
