Assassination Classroom: Invincible monster teacher

Assassination Classroom's starting point is weird. It's about a classroom in which it's students have only one job to do: kill their teacher. This teacher happens to be the most powerful entity in the world and with it's super intelligence and super speed he seems to be impossible to kill. And that's not all: If the students don't manage to kill him in a year he will destroy the world (as he did already destroy the moon!


Art looks fine, it can be easily described as good - only the "main character" similarly to Onepunch-man is very simplified but once again mangaka has managed to make it work. The events mostly happen in the classroom and nearby places which don't really challenge the author to make great sceneries, but the drawing of the Korosensei's abilities have been designed very well.

In this manga there's really no characters who are sticking out except for the villain Korosensei, who seems to be both Protagonist and Antagonist of the series, the kids in the school are mostly fodder who don't stand out and then there are couple of individual assassin's sent after the teacher who luckily bring some more depth to 'Ansatsu Kyotshitsu It's funny though how he himself is helping the students to kill him and making them progress just like a real teacher would.

You really can't expect much twists, but rather slow plot development in which we get some hints regarding the existence/past of Korosensei and usually some maneuvers performed by this monster teacher. As I said as the story progresses we are getting some glimpses of Korosenseis past in some of the chapters and that feels to me sort of carrying mystery element in this manga even though it is intended mostly as a sort of classroom manga with a interesting twist to it.

It's amazing how they manage to create such an unique ideas all the time. I have to say that Assassination Classroom is by all means nothing too special even though it manages to be interesting. But it is indeed as semi-good read for someone who may be bored.
