Goodreads Synopsis:
What does a pathetic class of misfits have in their arsenal to combat their schoolteacher’s alien technology, bizarre powers and...tentacles?!
Ever caught yourself screaming, "I could just kill that teacher"?
What would it take to justify such antisocial behavior and weeks of detention? Especially if he's the best teacher you've ever had? Giving you an "F" on a quiz? Mispronouncing your name during roll call...again? How about blowing up the moon and threatening to do the same to Mother Earth—unless you take him out first?! Plus a reward of a cool 100 million from the Ministry of Defense!
Okay, now that you're committed... How are you going to pull this off? What does your pathetic class of misfits have in their arsenal to combat Teach's alien technology, bizarre powers and...tentacles?!
Lowly Class E and elite Class A compete for the most customers at their school festival booths. So far, the students of Class E are holding their own, despite their location on the mountaintop. Then a parade of familiar faces, some welcome and some…not so much…drop by with surprising consequences. Will Principal Asano’s son Gakushu be able to maintain his position as the illustrious leader of Class A? Who could possibly replace him in hopes of leading the students to victory and subjugating the weak…?
Review:
I haven't read any of this series, and honestly barely even knew what
it was about. So this was a surprising volume for me.
Koro Sensei is such a weird character. He's an octopus-like thing,
who seems to be challenging people to kill him, and yet also a little
worried about that?
Class 3-E is competing against class A to win at the festival, and
I'm actually surprised when Koro sensei tells them to stop and not
push themselves. His point in teaching them doesn't seem to be
winning against other people, so much as winning for themselves in
what they can do.
Next there's an exam coming up, and everyone in class E needs to be
in the top 50. It's difficult and takes a lot of studying, and the
principal has made the exam near impossible for anyone. And yet they
still win at it.
This was a surprisingly enjoyable volume, and even the exam questions
were shown in a unique battle style as the students worked through
them. The principal seems to be a particular evil, just mindlessly
trying to tear people down and brainwash them.
This volume was interesting, and I don't think I'll mind reading
more.
