Background / History

Class A is presented as the school's elite class, composed of students considered strongest in both academics and athletics. Miyano Makoto initially expects to be assigned there, while Ichinose Honami and Sakayanagi Arisu are placed in Class A instead. 1

Honami rapidly secures the class's support. She reveals information about the school and demonstrates a private-point balance with an additional zero compared with her classmates; the class subsequently accepts her as its leader. 18 48

Although Sakayanagi is also a prominent Class A student, she and Honami are depicted as cooperating rather than openly competing for authority. Hashimoto Masayoshi later suggests Sakayanagi or Katsuragi Kohei as possible leaders only until Honami's boyfriend, Makoto, transfers into the class. 48

Class Characteristics

Elite Placement

Class A is officially regarded as the strongest of the four classes, with placement reflecting ability. Makoto considers his own placement in Class B rather than Class A evidence that the system has flaws in its individual assessments. 1 7 9

Class Unity Under Honami

By the time Honami takes control, Class A students place enough trust in her that no one objects when she discusses sensitive class matters openly in the classroom. 18

Honami's approachable leadership contrasts with more rigid leadership styles; Makoto believes her youthfulness and energy make her more effective at gaining the class's approval. 18

Academic Preparation

Class A participates in joint study sessions with Classes B and D before the midterms. The group receives past papers and later the actual first-year midterm paper through Makoto's connections. 29 30 33 44

The class studies the material as key points rather than merely memorizing answers. 33

Relationships

• Class B — Academic competitor and frequent collaborator. Class A studies jointly with Class B, while Makoto's relationship with Honami gives Class B unusual access to Class A. 29 30 39
• Class C — Rival class excluded from the shared midterm-paper information. Class C is disturbed by the cooperation among Classes A, B, and D. 30 44
• Class D — Participates in Class A-led study sessions and social gatherings despite its low standing. 29 30 39
• Miyano Makoto — A Class B student and Honami's boyfriend whose information, resources, and potential transfer significantly affect Class A's plans. 15 33 48

Story Role / Major Arcs

Formation and Leadership

Honami and Sakayanagi enter Class A at the beginning of the school year. Honami soon establishes herself as the class leader, overcoming Katsuragi's earlier attempt to take that role. 1 18 48

Cross-Class Study Coalition

Class A joins Makoto and Kanzaki's initiative to study with Classes B and D. This creates a visible alliance that leaves Class C isolated and confused. 29 30

Midterm Paper Distribution

Class A receives the upcoming midterm paper through Makoto. The information reinforces his value to Honami's class, but also prompts concerns that Class A may become dependent on a student officially enrolled in Class B. 33 44 48

Prospective Transfer of Makoto

A transfer to Class A requires 20 million private points. Honami gathers enough points to facilitate Makoto's transfer, but he chooses to remain in Class B for the time being. 12 38

Hashimoto later argues that Class A should rely on Sakayanagi or Katsuragi until Makoto formally joins the class. 48
