Classroom of the Elite #12

Volume 12 of Classroom of the Elite puts two school-uniformed students front and center — a pink-haired girl in a striking red uniform and a blonde in blue — both caught mid-motion against a warm, sunset-lit school courtyard, their expressions wide with surprise or urgency. Yuyu Ichino's art brings real energy to the scene, with Syougo Kinugasa's story and Tomoseshunsaku's character designs combining to give these two a palpable sense of tension and personality. If you've been following this series of social strategy and high-stakes academy life, this 2024 volume looks like a chapter where things between these two are anything but calm.
