Assassination Classroom

Anyone else been reading this manga?

Yo.

Heard of it, and the author's previous work, and got hooked.

Korosensei is remarkably amiable for someone who wants to destroy the world. I almost forgot about it multiple times, to be honest...

... I'm going to get such a bad case of feels when they kill him T^T

No way it actually happens. They're being bred for something, it just remains to be seen what.

The notion that Korosensei wouldn't be killed honestly occurred to me a few times, but I dismissed it considering I honestly have no idea why he would survive (without ending the world, that is). The "being groomed for something" theory makes sense, but if that's the case... What in the hell could they possibly need training in killing someone like Korosensei for?!

More of whatever he is/whatever made him into what he is.

That idea honestly terrifies the shit out of me *imagines a thousand Korosenseis looking down on the Earth with their smiley faces*

... Okay, a little less intimidating now. Speaking of, it was rather stupid for Bitch-sensei to not use the special bullets on her first attempt. Some of those useless lead ones actually hit, she might have been able to kill him if she wasn't being stupid >.>

I dunno, maybe it'll turn out he doesn't actually want to destroy the world after all and is just using it as an excuse to fulfil his promise to teach for a year.

They should Hire One Punch Man to Kill Koro Sensei.

And yes KSPAM, I do read this manga. I like it.

New chapter is up.

I just had a scary thought. Korosensei turns all his students into Korosenseis. They're already rather dejected with the world, turning them into actual monsters might be a step up. Now they've got exceptional skill in assassination and months of practice figuring out how someone would go about killing them.

Tentacles, tentacles EVERYWHERE!

Chapter 32 is out.

So, it's coming along nicely.

I'm definitely interested in the serious side of this comedy manga. It's rather well-done and I like how Koro-sensei himself acknowledges how weird it is to be a serious character.

Yeah, I was kind of thinking that. I was all 'huh, it's weird to see this series doing a serious battle. And somehow off. Hope this doesn't become a regular thing' and then Koro basically said the same thing.

Chapter 33 is out.

I actually rather like the baseball club captain's brand of arrogance. Less juvenile and more Gilgamesh. I don't even hate him, though I still want to see his team lose because it's funnier that way.

Chapter 55 35 is out.

The chairman's acting as coach and damn does the guy have charisma.

Revival no jutsu

I hope they kill their new teacher. Fucking bastard.

You mean Chapter 35.

Also, kinda seconded.

I wonder whether that little thing Karasuma seems to have noticed about Nagisa will become important. If it turns out he's got some kind of Superpowered Evil Side or Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass going on, he's hiding it very well.

Also I love this mangaka's style of drawing Affably Evil characters. He manages to give them such pleasant smiles while still retaining the "facade" vibe to it.

He's the guy with the best killing intent, and yes, that's gonna be important.

On a side note, I still haven't gotten over how he looks like a girl. Especially that color page in Chapter 38.

Warning spoilers

Having seen some of the raws for the next chapter I can definitely say that thing with Nagisa appearing as a snake is going to become important. Snake and Eagle metaphors are going to be incoming.

Gods, yes. I didn't realise he was male until that was repeatedly mentioned.

Chapter 40 is out!

So it's going to be Nagisa who'll shut Takaoka up? Sweet.

Just read this one. It's hilarious, and strangely awesome.

Seen the raws for chapter 41.

Damn Nagisa you scary.

Translation for chapter 41 is out.

This is about right. I find it really cool because I have a fondness for dissonant serenity.

Nagisa's talent is his control over his bloodlust, which makes him a very talented assassin. That's one step closer to killing Koro-sensei...
