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?!
The battle for Koro Sensei’s life against a multinational operation’s soldiers and weaponry is difficult enough, but now his creator and former protégé, mad scientist Yanagisawa and Grim Reaper II, join the battle to destroy him—and they’ve both had major enhancements! But the stakes abruptly change when a 3-E student is fatally caught in the crossfire… If there’s one thing that enrages 3-E’s teacher, it’s harming—let alone killing—his students! Koro Sensei’s fury and ingenuity know no bounds, even as fate inexorably catches up to him…

Review:
It's Koro-sensei's birthday. It's also the final day for their
assassination assignment. And it's the day before their school
graduation.
Given that I've missed most of this series, it makes less sense to me
than it should, I'm sure. Because I still don't really see why he has
to die? I thought they figured out he didn't have to? I must be
wrong.
This isn't a misleading series, though. From the beginning, they were
told they had to assassinate their teacher, and they never back off
from that, even if they grew so close. And in a way, this means he
gets to be with Aguri, right? And I do want that.
This volume is rough. There's a sweet beginning, and a few sweet,
touching moments between, and that ending is just sad. It's harsh,
bittersweet, I suppose.
It looks like the next, final volume is probably just closure, an
ending for each student, probably.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
