Fate/school life is a comedy 4-koma manga revolving around the normal life at school of the minor characters of Fate/stay night and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, specifically the character Himuro Kane, classmate of Fate/stay night protagonist Emiya Shirou. 

This manga by Mashin Eiichirou is a spin-off that tells the normal school life of the supporting characters Himuro Kane, Makidera Kaede, Saegusa Yukika. Other characters are the regular cast of the main games: Mitsuzuri Ayako, Tohsaka Rin, Ryuudou Issei, Matou Shinji, Emiya Shirou, Kuzuki Souichirou, Fujimura Taiga, Matou Sakura, Mitsuzuri Minori; "guest" characters from other series Ciel, Seven, Sajyou Ayaka (formerly the heroine of the never finished prototype novel of Fate/stay night) are also featured, and other classmates Gotou Gai, Fujimoto, Dezaki, Hirumata. 

The story is centered around classic school events such as a ball game tournament, field trips and inter high school competitions. As such, there is no reference at all to supernatural things like magecraft and Heroic Spirits. br>
Note: Includes 18 extra chapters.

Prequel to Fate/Prototype. 
Young Ayaka Sajyou wakes up to a normal morning breakfast with her father and older sister, Manaka, unaware that a battle of frightening proportions has now begun in Tokyo. This battle is the Holy Grail War, the first of a series of mutual slaughters where seven Magi and seven Servants team up together to fight in a battle royale to win the Holy Grail, a mystical omnipotent wish-granting device to have their own wishes granted.
 
As each of the Seven Masters summon their Servants and fight, more of the mysteries surrounding the Holy Grail are revealed, culminating in a epic battle that will test loyalties, forge new alliances, and makes one question, who is the real Master in this Holy Grail War?

The stage: the city of Snowfield in the western U.S., far from Fuyuki. There, a "false Holy Grail War", quite unlike the original Holy Grail War, unfolds. There were those who had been keeping an eye on the auguries of the Holy Grail in Snowfield. According to an investigation by the Mage's Association, the Holy Grail War system in Snowfield was an imitation of the one in Fuyuki. What's more, the system was incomplete, leading to the exclusion of one of the seven classes and the selection of beings as Servants who ordinarily could not be summoned. It was, verily, a strange fake. As an organ of the U.S. government executes its various plots, the Servants are summoned one after another...

The plot centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. After the end of the third Grail War, an organization from the United States that has magi separate from the London based Mage Association as members took data from Fuyuki's Grail War and planned their own ritual. After seventy years, they used the city Snowfield as the Sacred Land for their own Grail War. They were unable to successfully copy every aspect of the ritual, which lead to it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the definition of a "hero" being blurred.

Years after the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan, strange reports surface of one appearing in America. Attracting new Mages and Servants, the question is raised about the relic’s authenticity. As the city of Snowfield is turned into a bloody battleground, specific details seem wrong. Is it possible someone is manipulating this twisted little play, and if so, does this mean the true Holy Grail exists?

In a Holy Grail War, Mages (Masters) and their Heroic Spirits (Servants) fight for the control of the Holy Grail—an omnipotent wish-granting device said to fulfill any desire. Years have passed since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan. Now, signs portend the emergence of a new Holy Grail in the western American city of Snowfield. Sure enough, Masters and Servants begin to gather... 

A missing Servant class... 
Impossible Servant summonings... 
A nation shrouded in secrecy... 
And a city created as a battleground. 
 
In the face of such irregularities, the Holy Grail War is twisted and driven into the depth of madness. Let the curtain rise on a masquerade of humans and heroes, made to dance upon the stage of a false Holy Grail. This is a Holy Grail War covered in lies.
