Beschreibung des Verlags
The battle for Koro Sensei’s life against a multinational operation’s soldiers and weaponry is difficult enough, but now his creator, mad scientist Yanagisawa, and his former protégé, Grim Reaper II, join the battle to destroy him—and they’ve both had major enhancements! But the stakes abruptly change when a 3-E student is fatally caught in the crossfire… If there’s one thing that enrages 3-E’s teacher, it’s harming—let alone killing—his students! Koro Sensei’s fury and ingenuity know no bounds, even as fate inexorably catches up to him…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Students left behind by the world have been tasked with assassinating their teacher, Kuro-sensei, an all-powerful alien who blew up part of the Moon and is planning to do the same to the Earth in a year. Kuro-sensei, an uncomfortably noodly creature, has challenged his students (and the rest of Earth) to kill him, and yet he continues to hang around to give them every opportunity to knock him off while teaching them to be better in every aspect of their lives, including their studies. In this volume, the alien s motivations are hinted at as he educates a femme fatale assassin brought in from Russia to assist the class s efforts. Clean linework and simple backgrounds leave room for underlying messages, while occasionally becoming more complicated for action sequences. As the first of Matsui s (Demon Detective Neuro Nogami) work to be translated into English, Assassination Classroom grows on the reader as an unusual presentation of political satire and social justice, and has useful things to say about meeting challenges through high expectations.
