Story
The anime is based on the novel series written by Shogo Kinugasa and illustrated by Shunsaku Tomose, which started in 2015. A sequel series, known as Year 2, continues the story of Kiyotaka’s second year at school. The franchise also has a manga adaptation and multiple anime seasons, with the first season airing in 2017, followed by Season 2 in 2022 and Season 3 in 2024.
The story of Classroom Of The Elite follows Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, a quiet and observant student in Class D, the lowest-ranked class. Although he appears ordinary, he is extremely smart and a skilled fighter. In Season 4, Kiyotaka and his classmates start their second year at Advanced Nurturing High School, facing harder tests, new students and more challenges, all while keeping their true abilities hidden.
