At the MF Bunko J Summer School Festival 2024 event, the production of a fourth season for the anime adaptation of the Classroom of the Elite light novel was announced. This new installment of the series will cover the first semester of the light novel ‘Classroom of the Elite: Year 2’ (Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e 2-nensei hen).
The anime Classroom of the Elite has the following description: The story 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 idealised, 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 environment, he 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.
While class membership is permanent, class rankings are not. Students in lower classes can be promoted if they manage to outperform those in higher classes. Moreover, in Class D, there are no limitations on the methods that can be used to excel. In this unforgiving school environment, will students excel and rise to the top?
