If you aren’t familiar with the series, Classroom of the Elite takes places at the fictional Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School, a fancy school run by the Japanese government. On the surface, the school is a paradise, where students can indulge themselves in all kinds of amenities. However, in reality, students are placed into four different classes based on their merit. Class A has the “best” students and Class D has the weakest. Classroom of the Elite: Year 2 (Light Novel) Vol. 4". Seven Seas Entertainment . Retrieved August 19, 2022.

A manga adaptation of the sequel light novel series illustrated by Shia Sasane began serialization in the Media Factory's Monthly Comic Alive magazine on December 25, 2021.

For one, it's generally just school life. They're in this government advanced school that nurtures students to support the country in the future. The school has a system that ranks students from class A-D and you get treated accordingly depending on class rank. Each class aims to be the top class for what? To get in any university and any job they want in the future. That goal is pretty boring considering the level of competition and capabilities of the students (since the top students know martial arts and all). Though it would be something if their goal is to be government spies, assassins and whatnot.

The series has been published under Media Factory's MF Bunko J imprint since 2015; as of July 2021, 19 volumes (including 4 short story collections) have been released.

Sure, the core story is still there, but it's the little things that make be wonder, okay, did whoever scripted this version intentionally want to change things up? (It isn't clear if Kinugasa, who wrote the light novels, also scripted the manga for Ichino to draw.) That kind of thing bugged me a bit even with beloved stories like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that each version was just a little (or a LOT) different.

I really liked this premise because, as stated, I used to teach. Initially, the whole idea may seem a little ridiculous since high schools usually don’t expel students unless it’s something major. However, high school isn’t mandatory in Japan, so the concept is a little more plausible than if it took place elsewhere, such as the USA, where many states require students to attend until they are 18.a b c Loo, Egan (March 6, 2022).

The students’ class determines how the school treats them. In other words, if you’re placed in Class D, you’re basically treated like garbage. You’ll be more likely to be expelled over something frivolous. On top of this, your monthly allowance (for food, toiletries, etc.) will be smaller because it’s based on academic performance – not just your own but the entire class’ performance.

It's such a shame that this isn't a battle royale. That they have these dead weights to carry 'coz they need to perform as a class. (Though this anime is super short, perhaps they'll redeem themselves in LN or S2. Too early to tell).
