The upcoming first volume of “Classroom of the Elite Season 3” has generated a wave of excitement among fans as fresh details have surfaced, adding fuel to their anticipation for the unfolding narrative.

Despite being a relatively obscure title, “Classroom of the Elite” boasts a dedicated and passionate international fanbase. They either watch the anime on Crunchyroll or read the US-licensed original novels by Seven Seas. Following the conclusion of “Year 2” in late 2024, it was quickly announced that “Year 3” would be released in Japan on March 24th.

Classroom of the Elite Year 3 New Visuals and Synopsis

With the release date drawing near, we’re seeing an increase in shared details, such as fresh visuals and a summary of the first volume. Take a look at these new visuals:

As per the summary, Horikita and several others have made it to Class A following their successful completion of exams at the end of their second year. This marks a first, as students from Class D have never been moved to Class A before. Interestingly, Kiyotaka Ayakanoji, who was initially with them, has instead been transferred to Class C. The challenge now lies in overcoming him if they wish to graduate as the top class, Class A.

The third volume of “Classroom of the Elite” set in its third year is scheduled to hit Japanese bookstores on March 24, 2025. As of now, Seven Seas hasn’t specified when the English edition will be out.

Classroom of the Elite Year 2 Guidebook

In addition to details for Year 3, the reveal of the cover for the “Year 2 Guidebook – Second Edition” was also made. This upcoming book, scheduled for release on March 24, is packed with information regarding the recently concluded story arc.

When Will Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Be Out?

It’s been confirmed that production on Season 4 of “Classroom of the Elite” began following the airing of Season 3 in Japan. As of now, though, a specific release date hasn’t been set. Potential updates could come at AnimeJapan, which is scheduled for March. If there are any announcements during that event, it’s possible the new season will drop either by the end of this year or in 2026.

The third season wrapped up the storyline of the initial year, implying that the upcoming season will delve into the events of the second year. For those eager to read ahead before the new season debuts, Seven Seas has published up to Volume 10 of Year 2 in English, with the remaining three volumes (Volumes 11 through 12.5) expected to follow shortly.

Additionally, some manga versions exist, yet they are often deemed unsatisfactory by fans. If you can’t stand the wait for Season 4, it might be wiser to delve into the books rather than searching for any of the mangas.

Classroom of the Elite is available to stream on Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed in many languages.
