The high school section of novels and anime always has a major fandom among viewers. Whether is cute romance, eye-thrilling horror, or nail-biting suspense. Everything adds to the charm of the young and free vibe. So I have brought the best high school-themed anime to binge on Netflix. The list is a mix of genres, so choose to your preference.
Classroom of the Elite

Our protagonist, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, joins Tokyo Metropolitan Nurturing High School, where students are merit-ranked in four sections. It’s a vigorous strategic fight between them to reach the first section. This competitive environment with manipulations and unique challenges requires only the survival of the smartest. All three seasons are very good with brain-whacking suspense, wit, and humour. This is always the best binge.

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

The one-man story of Kusuo Saiki, a high school student with many psychic abilities like telekinesis, telepathy, curse, Bilocation(power to duplicate himself), and more, strives to have a normal life. However, neither the situations nor his enthusiastic classmates help him; instead they make more mishaps. This anime has good humor attached to the unique style of the protagonist, with pink hair and green glasses attracting chaos. It’s a must-watch.
