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?!
Koro Sensei tells all: his former profession, his nickname, the mad scientists responsible for his unique cephalopod physiognomy, the love of his life, and why he wants to teach the 3-E students. New light is shed not only on his character, but on the reason he vowed to destroy the Earth in March. Will these revelations change 3-E’s commitment to assassinating their teacher (and saving the planet)?

Review:
Since I haven't read most of this series, this was a perfect volume
for me. We jump right into a backstory, and it lasts for most of the
volume. We finally get to see what happened to Koro Sensei to get him
to this point.
We find out that he was a brilliant assassin who was captured and
experimented on. That he controlled most of it, but why his mind
changed at the end of these explosions. What happened when he met
their previous, sweet and quirky teacher. The ending I saw coming,
but it still made me sad. I really liked their relationship, and
didn't want it to end.
I do admit that his change in perspective was quite fast—a bit too
fast for me. Other than that, the story was good. It was a good
backstory. And then we get back to the main story, and the students
have to decide what to do about this new information. They now have
to take this assassination in a new light, and they have to take it
seriously because they have an ending date that could result in
destruction if they don't figure out how to stop it.
I really enjoyed this volume. I got sucked into Koro Sensei's back
story very easily, and I liked it a lot.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
