After the Winter 2023 anime season lineup has been announced, one of the most anticipated anime was Spy Classroom. But why? Is Spy Classroom even worth the hype, or are viewers just attracted to the whole idea of girls training to be spies? In this article, we weigh in on the hype behind the show.
What Is Spy Classroom All About?
Spy Classroom takes place after the war during a time when weapons were considered destructive, and wars were fought through trickery and manipulation.
Inferno, a top spy team, was destroyed, and the only surviving member decided to create a new group to work on impossible missions.
These missions are considered impossible as other spy teams have failed to accomplish them before, and now, they have a 90% chance of failure.
Moreover, Klaus, the only surviving member of Inferno, recruited seven washout girls from different spy groups.
He now has a month to train and guide them before he lets them out to the real world.
For those who are not familiar with Spy Classroom, it was originally a light novel released in January 2020.
It caught the attention of light novel readers and became one of the most popular series, having sold more than 500,000 units in 2021.
It was popular enough to receive an anime adaptation by studio Feel. The adventure anime premiered in January 2023.
Its premise alone is quite interesting, and the fact that it is based on a famous light novel added to the hype behind the show.
