Classroom of the Elite season 3 has just ended, and fans eagerly await a season 4 announcement. But for those interested in what happens next, find out where to start reading the Classroom of the Elite light novel and manga after season 3 in this article.
Which Version of Classroom of the Elite Should You Read?
Classroom of the Elite began as a light novel series, meaning the ongoing light novel can be considered the story's original version. After all, even the manga is based on the novels.
Coupled with the fact that the light novel series is the most up-to-date story-wise, fans may want to read the light novel to get the best story experience.
Meanwhile, the manga is also not a bad way to experience the story, especially the Year 2 manga. That's because the Year 1 manga is considered by many to be inferior in terms of how it adapts the story.

Seasons 1 and 2 of Classroom of the Elite covered the first seven volumes of the light novel series. Meanwhile, season 3 covered volumes eight to 11.
Currently, the light novel series has 24 volumes in total, alongside some short story collections.
The first 11 volumes (along with the extra volume 11.5) are classed as the original series, with the last 11 being part of the Year 2 sequel.
Effectively, this means the anime's first three seasons have completely covered the Year 1 arc.
Thanks to this, fans can start reading the Classroom of the Elite light novel in Year 2 Volume 1.
