Classroom of the Elite: Horikita

Horikita Suzune has no interest in the classmates around her, keeping each of them firmly at a distance. Her one true ambition is to earn recognition from her aloof older brother—the student council president of their school—someone who has never once acknowledged her existence. To achieve this, she enlists the aid of an unlikely partner: Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, a fellow student whose withdrawn, solitary disposition nearly mirrors her own. Their partnership begins on shaky ground, riddled with friction and awkward missteps. Yet out of this rocky start, something neither of them anticipated quietly takes shape—a genuine friendship between two kindred loners. But their prestigious academy is far from an ordinary school. Beneath its elite reputation lies a suffocating world of ruthless, cutthroat competition. As the bond between Horikita and Ayanokouji steadily deepens, one question hangs over them: can their fragile new relationship withstand the merciless atmosphere of the institution they call home?
