In works about or in a school, whether due to laziness or otherwise, Class X-A or Class X-1 (X being the year) will usually meet one or more of the following criteria:
Line 10:
This is a direct result of [[The Law of Conservation of Detail]].
In Japan, classes remain constant, with all classes except for PE, science, and home ec. taking place in one room, and the teachers being the ones cycling around instead of the students. The students in the class also tend to not get split from year to year very often, sometimes even using the same room and just changing the nameplate. As such, this finds its way into [[Japanese Media]] quite often, since [[They Just Didn't Care|the writers can't find any reason in themselves to care]] about which class the students are in, since there's no real difference and they'll all move up together in the same class anyway. Rather than actually work on choosing a number for the class, they decided to stick with an A or 1. Very rarely is there any deep meaning behind why it had to be A/1.
From a writing stance, this is convenient for keeping the main cast together without having to [[Hand Wave]] anything, since the target audience is used to that system and would readily accept it. What is not readily accepted is that the class number/letter tends to always be A or 1, and therefore this trope comes into being.

Has nothing to do with [[Room 101]]. Compare [[Subject 101]].

▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' [[Negima Second Season|and its spinoffs]] has most of the main cast in Class 2-A at the start of the series, with the main character as the teacher. The class quickly moves on to the next year... where they're Class ''3''-A. The class also happens to have people ranging from [[Everything's Better with Princesses|princesses]] to [[Ridiculously Human Robot|a robot]] to [[Our Vampires Are Different|a vampire]] to [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|a Chinese Martian entrepreneur mad scientist martial artist mage and future descendant of the main character]].
* ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' has the entire main cast placed into Class 2-1 at the beginning of season 2 in both the anime and manga. Subverted in the first year, where only Yukari attended 1-1 (the rest of the cast attended the immediately adjacent 1-2).
** Also lampshaded by Mizore when she wonders if it was the headmaster that made sure that everyone was placed in the same class.
* ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'' has at least three of the more important capture targets in class A of their respective grades. [[Averted Trope|However, the two main characters are in Class B]].
* ''[[Baka and Test Summon The Beasts]]'' [[Inverted Trope|inverts]] this with all the main characters being in Class F and Class A being the antagonists (they are arranged by their test scores). The other four classes in between are almost entirely inconsequential and only their [[Class Representative
* ''[[To
** The sequel, ''[[To Love Ru Darkness]]'', further reveals that the class that Momo, Nana, Yami and Mea are in is also A, but for the year before the main cast of the original. Mikan is later shown to be in 6-A in middle school.
* Mami of ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' is shown to be in class 3-A in the manga adaptation, as well as in the [[Spin-Off]] manga ''[[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]]''.
Line 39:
* Averted by Sousuke Sagara of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', as he loudly announces his allegiance to Class 2-4 as Student No. 41 during his heartwarming attempt at a [[Badass Boast]] during the anime's last episode.
* Sen Yarizui of ''[[Ben-To]]'' is in class 2-1. Of course, this was revealed at complete random with no meaning in the slightest.
* Ichika and
* Eita and Masuzu of ''[[Ore
* Yoshitaka and Izumi of ''[[He Is My Master]]'' are placed in class 2-A. Their sharing a class is convenient for Yoshitaka, since it allows for him to give Izumi orders from just the next desk over. Anna is also in that class.
* The main cast members of ''[[Mysterious Girlfriend X]]'' are all in 2-A.
Line 50:
** A later chapter shows how when the girls are going up a grade, Aoki keeps intentionally arranging himself to be their homeroom teacher. He even tried putting [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|Kuro]] in a separate class, but decided otherwise in the end.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Mega Man Star Force]]'' has the main character in Class 5-A. Naturally, three other main characters are in there too. The only human main character who isn't in that class conveniently doesn't go to that school in the first place.
** Likewise, ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]]'' has Lan, Mayl, Dex and Yai in Class 5-1 until Battle Network 6 has Lan move away. His class in his new school? 6-1. Both of the new main characters in that game happen to be in that class too.
