As an overjoyed enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement! The wait for more “Classroom of the Elite” is almost over, as we’ve been given a sneak peek into Season 4 at AnimeJapan 2025. Seven long months have passed since the announcement, but now, finally, the first trailer has been unveiled! The anticipation builds as we edge closer to the return of our beloved characters and the intricate world they inhabit.

Apart from the latest anime series, the final chapter of the “Classroom of the Elite” novel, titled Year 3, is about to unfold. In just a few days, Japan will release the initial volume of this captivating finale, and fans eagerly anticipate where the narrative takes them next, as Volume 1 introduced an unexpected plot turn that left readers on the edge of their seats.

Classroom of the Elite Season 4 News at AnimeJapan 2025

At AnimeJapan 2025, the trailer for the series was revealed during a panel that was moderated by its voice actors – Shoya Chiba (playing Kiyotaka Ayanokoji), Akari Kito (as Suzune Horikita) and Masaaki Mizunaka (portraying Kakeru Ryuen). You can watch the preview right here.

The short clip offers a glimpse into the principal characters and storyline of the forthcoming 2nd Year Arc, set to unfold in the imminent season. It’s been verified that studio Lerche will handle the animation once more; however, the key personnel have yet to be disclosed.

Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Release Date

Unfortunately, I didn’t get any hint about the release timeline for the next season during AnimeJapan. However, since they’ve already dropped a trailer, it’s safe to say that Season 4 is on its way somewhere between 2025 and 2026! But, as excited as I am, we’ll have to stay tuned for further updates about the specific release date of the new storyline. Can’t wait!

In the second year, Ayanokoji faces some critical exams that could potentially lead to his expulsion. Previous seasons of “Classroom of the Elite” typically span about four volumes of the story. If Season 4 maintains this pace, it might conclude around Volume 4.5.

For those who’ve only encountered this storyline through the comic version, the upcoming manga adaptation offers a fresh, uncharted reading experience since it hasn’t been adapted before.

Seven Seas has published 10 of the 12 volumes of Classroom of the Elite Year 2 so far.

Classroom of the Elite Year 3 Will Be Out In A Few Days

At the AnimeJapan 2025 conference, they also showcased the upcoming first volume of Classroom of the Elite Year 3, scheduled for release in Japan on March 24, 2025 (coming up soon). The story begins with an unforeseen situation: Horikita and their Class D comrades have transferred to Class A, but they will encounter Ayanokoji, who is now in Class C.

It’s uncertain when the next installment will be released, but since the previous seasons spanned over 12 volumes (and some extra ones), it’s reasonable to expect that Season 3 will also have around 12 volumes. Seven Seas might announce “Classroom of the Elite Season 3” after they have published all the remaining volumes for Season 2.

Classroom of the Elite Year 2 Databook

On the very same day as Y3V1’s launch, you’ll find the “Year 2 Guidebook – Second List” available in Japan. Just as its title implies, this guide serves as a compass for the storyline of the second year.

At a perfect moment, this update arrives, allowing those unfamiliar with the novel to ready themselves for the upcoming anime season by perusing the guidebook. Regrettably, it remains unconfirmed when an English version of this book will be made available.

You can stream the anime series titled “Classroom of the Elite” on Crunchyroll. In some regions, it might also be accessible on Netflix.
