* ''[[Rosario to Vampire (Manga)|Rosario to 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).

* ''[[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|Class Representatives]] get any screentime.

* ''[[To Love Ru (Manga)|To Love Ru]]'' also uses this for most of the main cast that actually goes to school. They're in Class A in the first year that was shown, then it gets messed with somewhat in the second year. Ren then asks [[Lampshade Hanging|why he's the only one who was moved to a different class]].

* ''Kodomo No Jikan'', the class Aoki teachers at the start (the number goes up as he teaches them for multiple grades) is Class 3-1. Seeing as Rin, Kuro and Mimi are (of course) in this class, it automatically falls under containing most of the main characters and is most certainly the most abnormal.

** 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.

* Averted in ''[[Valkyria Chronicles II (Video Game)|Valkyria Chronicles II]]'': the protagonists are members of Squad '''[[Inverted Trope|G]]''', which is the class where slackers, misfits and undesirables get dumped. Overcoming the problems, lack of teamwork, and defeatism that landed them in said class is a major part of the first two thirds of the game.
