Assassination Classroom, by Yusei Matsui, is a manga that tells a
unique story of students in Kunugigaoka Junior High school. These are no
ordinary students and they certainly have no ordinary teachers. The story
centers around the class 3-E (E as in End) meaning that these students are the
outcast of the school either because of their failing grades or their brazen
behaviors. On top of being inflicted with dragging problems, class 3-E receives
an offer from the Ministry of Defense which consists of 10 billion yen if they
succeed in killing their new teacher. Their new teacher, Koro sensi, is
anything but ordinary, he flies at the speed of mach 20 and is an extraterrestrial
yellow octopus who has threatened to destroy the earth after class 3-E
graduates in March.
Once again I have to admit that the publications of Shonen Jump
ceaselessly amaze me every time because I am just absolutely enthralled by this
fantastic manga. The very plot of Assassination Classroom captures the reader’s
attention from the start, and the comical yet unique characters keep the
readers interest kindled. The artwork of the manga is stunning and it is
impossible to not get attached to the hilarious but mysterious Koro sensi. I am
looking forward to moving on to the next volume and I would definitely
recommend this to anyone and everyone.
