Classroom of The Elite‘s light novel is considered the source material, but the manga alters the characters and their personalities in a few ways. The Classroom of The Elite anime is by far the most different from the original, with Horikita acting as the main heroine and occasionally swapping scene roles with Kiyotaka, but they all follow the same story.

In Society are humans really treated equally or are they treated according to the standards in society Kodo Ikusei High School. A prestigious school with unbeatable statistics: 100% of students go on to universities or get jobs. Students are allowed to wear whatever hairstyle and bring whatever personal items they want. At first glance, this school seems like paradise, but all of the above applies only to the most outstanding students. The main character Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is a student in class D, to which the school management transfers students with low grades. Due to certain circumstances, Kiyotaka was inattentive during the entrance exam, which is why he ended up in this class.

My enjoyment is, after all, subjective, and not everyone would have the same experience. Enjoyment does not equal being objectively good, and it took me a while before I decided to write a review so I could remove any bias I may have. I don't want it to look like I dislike the story (Which I don't), so I'll say this now; this review is mainly criticizing the flaws of Classroom of the Elite. Spoilers are mentioned further in the review. As the series goes on and as Kiyotaka and the members of his class deal with one crisis after another it becomes clear that beneath his normal self Kiyotaka also has a personality that he hides and conceals from the others including his friends. In this personality which is perhaps his true one Kiyotaka’s personality is drastically different from the one that he normally exhibits. In this personality Kiyotaka is shown to be a calculating and manipulative person and also a smart one that is not above using people for his own ends. In this personality Kiyotaka’s strong intelligence and observational skills that he had to keep hidden in his default personality is now much more visible and more readily used when Kiyotaka gets serious. As a character, I felt that Kiyotaka was an interesting character whose dual nature in the form of his two different personalities are what actually define him. The contrast between the two different personalities I felt were well done and while some of the traits of the two do pass between the two personalities from time to time like his fast thinking nature it’s when we see Kiyotaka in his true personality that his character truly shines. While Kiyotaka may have villainous tendencies due to his manipulative personality it’s important to note that this is a result of having an in-depth knowledge and understanding of how the real world actually works. Overall the character of Kiyotaka I felt was a well-designed one that showed that careful observation and rational decisions along with a little manipulation can ensure that what they all hold dear can be protected. I felt that Shouya Chiba actually did an excellent job in his first main roles for me.
