With this, we've finally confirmed that there will be no
changes to the production of this franchise , so we can assure you
that the pace and quality previously seen will be maintained. In the meantime,
don't forget to check out the details about this franchise:

the light novels in May 2015 under Media Factory 's MF
Bunko J imprint . The First Year Saga ended in September 2019,

The work has two manga adaptations by Yuyu Ichino and Shia
Sasane .
- The
anime has three seasons and thirty-eight episodes , first
premiering in Summer 2017. Although the story is popular, the adaptation
has received criticism for its narrative quality, which pales in
comparison to the source material.

voice cast includes Shouya Chiba , Akari Kitou , Yurika
Kubo , Rina Hidaka , Masaaki Mizunaka , Rina
Satou , and Satoshi Hino . The production team
includes Seiji Kishi and Hiroyuki Hashimoto as
directors, Kazuaki Morita as character designer,
and Ryou Takahashi as executive producer.
- The
story centers on Metropolitan Advanced Education High School, a school
that seems like a utopia but ranks its students in a strict hierarchy
based on merit. In Class D, where the worst students go, Kiyotaka
Ayanokouji meets Suzune Horikita, who is trying to rise to Class A, and
Kikyou Kushida, who wants to be friends with everyone. At this
school, only the most astute survive.
