Classroom of the Elite synopsis:
The story introduces us to the prestigious Koudo Ikusei High School, an institution where students enjoy unparalleled freedom and a privileged position in Japan. However, reality is far from idealized, as only the elite classes, ranked from A to D based on performance, receive preferential treatment.
Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, a student in Class D, 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 advance to Class A, and Kikyou Kushida, a popular and friendly classmate who appears friendly but has her own goals.
Although class membership is permanent, rankings are not. Students from lower classes can be promoted if they manage to outperform those from higher classes. Furthermore, in Class D, there are no limitations on the methods that can be employed to excel. In this unforgiving school environment, will students succeed and reach the top?
