Teaser Visual
Based on the light novels by Shogo Kinugasa and Sunsaku Tomose, Classroom of the Elite Season 3 was chief-directed by Hiroyuki Hashimoto and Seiji Kishi and directed by Yoshihito Nishoji at studio Lerche (Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, given), with series composition by Hayato Kazano and character designs by Kazuaki Morita.
Seven Seas Entertainment publishes an official English version of the Classroom of the Elite: Year 2 sequel novels and describes the story:
As Ayanokouji and his classmates begin their second year at the Advanced Nurturing High School, they’re greeted by a fresh gauntlet of exams and a fresh batch of rather unique first-year students. They’ll have to get to know each other quickly, because the first special exam pairs the first-years with the second-years on a written test—with only the second-years facing expulsion if their team performs poorly! Worse yet? It seems one of the new first-years is also from the White Room. Can Ayanokouji avoid expulsion while sussing out the identity of this hidden foe?
