About Classroom of the Elite IV

Meet Classroom of the Elite IV (Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e 4th Season: 2-nensei-hen 1 Gakki), a school, thriller and drama anime by Lerche (2026). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: 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 pupils. 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?

Along the way, 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?

In a school series like this, campus dynamics, friendships and rivalries set the day-to-day tone. Think of it as a pick for viewers who enjoy school-life settings.
