Assassination Classroom Volume 2: Time For Grownups, by Yusei Matsui

Assassination Classroom Volume 2, by Yusei Matsui, things seem to be settling in the classroom, and daily assassination attempts are being carried out the usual way they are. But as days pass, the Ministry of Defense are becoming more and more restless. They fear that there isn’t enough time in their hands to be wasting on children who has absolutely no capability of killing a monstrous creature when the entire world can’t! Which is why they bend the rules and hire a very fine looking teacher who actually happens to be one of the most deadliest assassin in the world who never fails to kill. The situation intensifies as the professional killer sets her eyes on the price Koro Sensi’s head. On the other hand, an insight look of the corruption of the school is shown to explain the meaning behind the creation of class 3-E.

As expected, this next volume did not let me down. In fact, it has elevated my adoration towards this story even more. It was terrific how the firing new assassin Ms. Jelavich puts her thrilling murderous plans into action and the comedy that occurs throughout the situation. I am very much enjoying how Matsui is sewing this story with new and extraordinary events and challenges. Also, I like the serious events along the way which shows the deep messages of a character’s struggle or a situation. Overall, I think that the story is falling into the way it should; surprising and making the readers laugh along the way and I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
