Abstract: Many $mathcalW$-(super)algebras which are defined by the generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction are also known or expected to have coset realizations. For example, it was conjectured by Ito that the principal $mathcalW$-superalgebra ${mathcalW}^k(mathfraksl(n+1|n))$ is isomorphic to the coset of $V^{l+1}(mathfrak{gl}_n)$ inside $V^l(mathfrak{sl}_{n+1})otimesmathcalE(n)$ for generic values of $l$. Here $mathcalE(n)$ denotes the rank $n$ $bc$-system, which carries an action of $V^1(mathfrak{gl}_n)$, and $k$ and $l$ are related by $(k+1)(l+n+1)=1$. This conjecture is known in the case $n=1$, which is somewhat degenerate, and we shall prove it in the first nontrivial case $n=2$. As a consequence, we show that the simple quotient ${mathcalW}_k(mathfraksl(3|2))$ is lisse and rational for all positive integers $l>1$. These are new examples of rational $mathcalW$-superalgebras.
