Anime or Manga: Both! Warning: English Dubbed version sounds like a bunch of chipmunks!

Title Critique: My first impression was: "What the hell is this?" You have to admit, the title is very interesting... intriguing, but I honestly thought it was misleading. Thankfully, it wasn't and I personally enjoyed it.

Episodes/Chapters: I don't know how many episodes there are, but currently, there are 167 manga chapters (as of December 9th). Most of the chapters are about 20 scans long, so those are pretty short updates... good thing is that there is an update EVERY week! The manga's ending soon, so go check it out!

Plot: The story is mainly taken from the perspective of the class 3-E (to be more specific Nagisa) and they are also known to be class E as in End Class. Why? Everyone in there is "stupid" or they did something that they shouldn't have. Most of them are there because they have low grades though.

Anyways, so the whole manga is based on the concept of the class "assassinating" their teacher, Korosensei (Koro = unbeatable). So why are these kids trying to kill their teacher? Well it's because Korosensei isn't just your typical average teacher. In fact, he's this tentacle monster who likes sweets and is incredibly intelligent. In the beginning (Spoiler warning! If you want to skip it, look for the next bolded words), Korosensei actually takes credit for blowing up 70% of the moon! In a year (at that time), he had planned to blow up the earth... so unless the kids kill him first, their futures are going in the trash. (Spoiler ended)

But through their short time together (A year for those who skipped the spoiler), the kids and Korosensei develop stronger bonds with each other through both, learning and assassination. Whether it is battling through ridiculous finals or plotting an assassination, Korosensei continues to guide the kids to achieving self-actualization.

Now I could go on and on about this amazing manga, but what good will that do for you? Read the manga, watch the anime! Whatever you do, at least you know a small reason as to why I like this manga/anime.

Warning: There is a tad bit of Ecchi from time to time... especially when a specific teacher comes around.

Rating from 1 - 10: If you read the first chapter of this book, it's ranked number 1. So based on the creativity and awesome plot, I literally give this a 10. If anyone likes actions, comedy and a tad splice of life, this is THE manga for you.

~~~

So there you have it. I know this review is pretty vague, but that's because I want y'all to go and find out how the manga is for yourselves! Whether you enjoy or don't enjoy it, at least you got a little experience of how this crazy monster is actually the best teacher anyone can have.

So until then, stay awesome guys!
