The cutthroat school drama light novels that inspired a manga adaptation and a spin-off series starring fan-favorite character Horikita Suzune (both also from Seven Seas)—and don’t miss the anime!

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?
Syougo Kinugasa is a Japanese game writer and novelist best known for the light novel series Classroom of the Elite.

Tomoseshunsaku is a Japanese artist best known for the illustrations in the light novel series Classroom of the Elite.
