Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is back in Season 3, and it finally picks up right where the last season ended, which is great news for fans. This is especially true for those wondering what happened to Sato Maya in Classroom of the Elite.

Classroom of the Elite: Sato Maya and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji’s Relationship Explained
Sato is a Class 1-D student who is quite popular. She is also typically found alongside her close friend, Kei Karuizawa.
Even though she’s not a principal character, Sato is notable for having feelings for Ayanokoji, though it started with just casual flirting from Sato.
As Sato got to know Ayanokoji better, she started to get deeper romantic feelings for him.
She finally made her move in the Classroom of the Elite Season 2 finale. During the episode, Sato met Ayanokoji and they went on a double date with Kei and Hirata.
