Rated “T+” for “Older Teen”

It is true that the outcasts students of Class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Junior High are trying to kill their teacher, but they have the perfect excuse. Their teacher is the alien-like octopus that recently destroyed 70% of the moon. This creature becomes Class 3-E's teacher, whom the student name, “Koro Sensei,” and he promises to destroy the Earth after the 3-E students graduate. Thus, it is up to these students to kill their teacher in order to save the world. They are the “Assassination Classroom.”

As Assassination Classroom, Vol. 20 (Chapters 170 to 177; entitled Time to Graduate) opens, Koro-Sensei and the students of Class 3-E are trapped under a dome, fighting for their lives. Kotaro Yanagisawa, the scientific genius who created Koro-sensei, and his new creation, Grim Reaper II, are determined to kill the octopus. Koro-Sensei's fury will know no bounds when it comes to protecting his students. Besides, it is time for them to assassinate him so that they can graduate.

THE LOWDOWN: The Assassination Classroom manga sprints towards the end. The series is often variations of the same, although the usual is usually quite entertaining. But this is the end.

Assassination Classroom Graphic Novel 20 is the best volume of the series and contains the most important chapter of the narrative, Chapter 177. No spoilers, but series creator Yusei Matsui delivers for his longtime readers... and gives new readers a reason to read.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of science fiction humor comics will want to be a student in Shonen Jump Advanced 's Assassination Classroom.

A+
