The light novel “Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e“, also known as Classroom of the Elite in the West, is a drama written by Shougo Kinugasa and illustrated by Shunsaku Tomose. It began publication under the MF Bunko J imprint of Media Factory publishing house in May 2015.
It is relevant to note that the work features a new arc called “Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e: 2-Nensei-hen” (Classroom of the Elite: 2nd Year), which kicked off its plot from volume #15 of the light novel.
On July 12, 2017, the light novel Classroom of the Elite premiered its anime adaptation which consisted of 2 seasons (25 episodes in total). In addition, the animation studio Lerche was in charge of the production of the series under the direction of Seiji Kishi.
“Classroom of the Elite” introduces us to the prestigious Koudo Ikusei Senior High School, an institution where students enjoy unparalleled freedom and boasts a privileged position in Japan. However, the reality is far from idealized, as only the elite classes, ranked from A to D according to their performance, receive preferential treatment.
Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, a Class D student, whose placement is reserved for those with less outstanding grades, is the protagonist of this story. In this setting, she crosses paths with Suzune Horikita, a reserved classmate who believes her assignment to Class D was a mistake and aspires to move up to Class A, and Kikyou Kushida, a popular and friendly classmate who appears to be friendly, but has her own goals.
Although class membership is permanent, classifications are not. Students in lower classes can move up if they manage to outperform in grades those in higher classes. Moreover, in Class D, there are no limitations on the methods that can be employed to excel. In this unforgiving school environment, will students succeed in excelling and rising to the top?
