A common theme in a number of anime/manga/light novels is that the cast are
students currently going to school. While some titles use this as a backdrop
to show how the cast used to have normal lives before they made to fight in
conflicts against aliens/monsters/gods/the military, there are some which just
show the cast's daily life in school.

I am wondering: what were the first anime, manga and light novel to accurately
represent Japanese school life? Did they ever get any adaptations?

As far as anime go, how about...

**The Kabocha Wine** (1982)

Not sure if this is accurate enough for you, but it's the first anime about
school life that doesn't involve aliens or stuff along those lines that I can
think of.
