Sato purposely transferred to the same high school as Yoshi. I can't remember if it was stated in the actual manga but I swear that's what I found out.

he looks surprised here
well he apparently didnt know he was going in the same class but in the previus pages i think he was hoping to meet him
so maybe half and half
Satou didn't know Yoshida was in the same high school. It was a coincidence partly because Yoshida stayed in the same area from when they were younger and Satou parents and sister didn't move either. So when Satou moved back to Japan, he was back in the same district as Yoshida and therfore they ended up in the same high school as it was closer to both their homes.Vol 4. Chp 13 onwards explains it more but heres the link to the actual page: http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/aitsu_no_daihonmei/mf/v04/c015/25/
Hope this helped! (⌒▽⌒)
Mel that response was very insightful! I wasn't sure if Sato acted surprised at how Yoshida looked or just for being there. That definitely cleared it up for me. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Can anyone help me out on this? (Also this is a minor spoiler question in case you didn't read this manga yet)
Did Sato transfer to the high school because he knew Yoshida was there, or was it just a coincidence because he wanted to face his fear in general?
