Meet the would-be assassins of class 3-E: Sugino, who let his grades slip and got kicked off the baseball team. Karma, who’s doing well in his classes but keeps getting suspended for fighting. And Okuda, who lacks both academic and social skills, yet excels at one subject: chemistry. Who has the best chance of winning that reward? Will the deed be accomplished through pity, brute force or poison...? And what chance does their teacher have of repairing his students’ tattered self-esteem?

About the Author

Yusei Matsui was born on the last day of January in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. He has been drawing manga since he began elementary school. Some of his favorite manga series are Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Ultimate Muscle. Matsui learned his trade working as an assistant to manga artist Yoshio Sawai, creator of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. In 2005, Matsui debuted his original manga Neuro: Supernatural Detective in Weekly Shonen Jump. In 2007, Neuro was adapted into an anime. In 2012, Assassination Classroom began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up—An alien who has the power to destroy the earth makes a couple of unusual decisions. First, he eradicates most of the moon (what's left of it is in a permanent crescent shape). Then he says that he will destroy the earth later that year unless class 3-E of Kunugigaoka Junior High can figure out how to kill him. Several factors make this seem like an impossible task—class 3-E is academically the worst class in the school, and the alien can move at Mach 20 speed, escaping every assassination attempt so far. The alien, nicknamed Koro Sensei ("teacher who can't be killed") by his students, is by turns hilarious, deadly, and an excellent teacher at the middle school. This book begins as a simple adventure story, but the further teens get into the story, the more they will see the subtext of "bad" students becoming empowered to find their real talents. Matsui's artwork is filled with action and humor, capturing the realistic aspects of the human characters and the smiley face and tentacles of the alien. VERDICT An entertaining adventure story ranging from darkest to lightest comedy that will leave readers clamoring for the next books in the series.—Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Review for Assassinaion Classroom Vol 1

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

What if you were assigned to a classroom and instructed to kill your teacher? We've all had teachers that we wish to get rid of, but what if the teacher was an alien who could move at Mach 20?

Welcome to Classroom 3-E. Full of all the "rejects" and losers from the main school building. If your grades were failing or your conduct was poor you were transferred to this room.

An alien has come to earth and upon destroying the moon to a permanent crest has decided to become a teacher. He wants to help polish the students in Classroom 3-E. Oh and upon graduation the students must assissinate him or else he destroys Earth. Isn't that lovely?

This alien is a tricky one at that, he also has more tentacles than an octopus and could be compared to one. The normal things that would kill a human, doesn't affect him. The students are asssigned weapons and BB's to help take this creature down. They may try to kill him at anytime as long as it doesn't interfere with their studies.

Nagisa's the main character of the group who's a guy. Now from the drawings and little pigtails in his hair. . .I confess I thought he was a she. Strange, misleading hairstyles. . . Anyways, he calmly collects information about Koro Sensei, the students gave the alien this nickname since he didn't have a true name.

Karma's a cool, sneak attack assissian who's been suspended but upon returning he seems to be a bit of a true match for our teacher. Still needs to be polished and I'll tell you this he really does get polished by Koro Sensei. Tee hee.

I love this book in how there's an intense mixture of comedy and impending doom upon the students. Koro Sensei's not allowed to harm any of the students in his classroom until after graduation. He also doesn't take them seriously because they're children. I really loved this book and I had a constant smile on my face as I read.

I didn't catch any foul language but I think they're may have been a little. Nothing compared to my loud neighbors that drop the f bomb every three words. No sexual stuff, until the very end, but there's no step by step or anything. Just a female assassian eliminating a male target. This is going to be a great series I just know it. I hope to read more about this interesting teacher who wishes to destroy earth and yet he acts like a normal, caring teacher with his students.

Such a strange concept

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

I honestly don’t know what I expected but it definitely wasn’t this. I thought a strange tentacled teacher teaching students on a deadline to kill him would be very dark. And at times it could be. Yet, many moments are actually very funny and wholesome.

I definitely wouldn’t suggest this for teens or younger.

Freakin' loved it!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2017

This is my first foray into the world of manga. I have watched quite a bit of popular and some not so popular. I have read some American comics as well. But I do not consider myself neither an anime fan nor fan of comic books. With this series, though, I can totally see myself becoming a manga fan.

I can't remember how I happened across Assassination Classroom. I can't say for sure what made me consider spending the $5 or so on the Kindle edition. I downloaded a sample, which was only first couple of pages, not enough to provide any plot whatsoever. The only thought I had was "this looks odd," and made the purchase. I hadn't even heard of the anime series or the live action movies.

I'm glad I decided to randomly purchase this first volume. It is odd, to say the very least, but it's also funny. It doesn't give away all of its secrets in the beginning, but it doesn't keep everything unanswered, either. My only worry is the length of the series as a whole. I have purchased the second volume and plan on reading on until I get bored with it. I'm giving it 5 stars, simply because this is my first manga I've read, and I loved it. I'm sure there are others out there that are better, but until I find them, I'll stick with this rating.

Quality Product, Great Star

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

Fantastic offering from Viz on one of the newest big series coming from Shonen Jump in Japan.

The classroom setting is a setting that has been done many times before in media and in manga. However, with the touch of assassinations on it as well as a nice message on quality education and helping the kids rise to their best in adverse conditions, it feels fresh and new. It is fresh and new twoo with its mix of characters. I enjoy how their class also doesnt have the usual suspects, like a jokster or a bully, but instead offers one of cohesiveness and camaraderie. Everyone is working together.

The volume features 7 chapters. There is an extra two page omake of sorts. In between chapters there are character profile pages, and some other little drawings too. There is no color insert like what is offered with some of their other Shonen Jump Advanced manga.

In terms of names, everyone seems to be kept the same as they were in the JPN version, honorifics arent there (so no more Karma kun), however they do call the teacher Koro sensei (which is a pun), and one that Im glad for. Volume 2 will introduce another challenge for the translators and a western version, what will they call Irina...

Buen tomo

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on July 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

Pues este tomo de Assassination Classroom es muy bueno.
Para empezar la calidad del tomo es bastante bueno aunque como se acostumbra en las ediciones americanas este no trae "sobrecubierta".
El gramaje del papel es bueno, no es 100% liso pero tampoco es áspero.
La hoja tiene un buen color blanco y no amarillento.
En general el tomo en si es muy bueno.

La historia pues es muy recomendable, es comedia pura así que si esperas ver mucha acción y peleas no la encontraras en este manga.
En cambio si te gusta el humor creo que este tomo te fascinara.
Los personajes son bastante buenos, la personalidad de cada uno es diferente y eso le da un toque único a la serie.
El personaje principal llamado "KORO-SENSEI" es lo que debería ser un personaje principal, nunca te aburres leyendo cuando esta el y siempre tiene cambios muy buenos.
Sin duda recomiendo este manga al 100%
