Assassination Classroom 27: Irina vs. Karasuma

Recap of Ansatsu Kyoushitsu 27: Time to Overcome

Koro-sensei has managed to get himself in a pinch: if Karasuma manages to avoid assassination pair's attemps for the entire day, Tadaomi Karasuma gets a reward in which Koro-sensei promises to remain motionless in front of him for 1 second.

Lovro apparently broke his wrist in earlier attempt and Korosensei tries to cheer him up. Lovro proceeds to explain how it's essentially impossible to assassinate Korosensei and that gracefully withdrawing is also the sign of an excellent assassin.

So, Lovro has given up so Korosenseis only hope is Irina Jelavic and he manages to cheer her up a little bit.

Karasuma is eating a lunch outside and Irina decides to approach him directly. It seems that she decided to play it sexy.

Korosensei and Lovro are talking and Korosensei gives him a bag after explaining about Irinas proficiency in teaching. After looking into the bag Lovro looks surprised.

Scene changes back to Karasuma and Irina and Irina managed to plant a wiretrap that makes sitting Karasuma go out of balance. Irina manages to get on top of Karasuma: the contents of the bag are revealed and it consists of several wires and some clothes.

Irina tries to stab Karasuma, but he stops it in time. Karasuma realizes, that Korosensei wouldn't keep his side of the agreement and essentially lets Irina "stab" him.

Korosensei says that if the students are to kill him Irinas presence is a necessity in the school, she will continue as the bitch-sensei of their english class.

Comments

A decent chapter, nothing more, nothing less. It surprised me a bit that Karasuma actually came to doubt Korosenseis side of the agreement. I don't know whether he felt pity or something like that for Irina, since giving up like that doesn't suit his character, or maybe he truly has a softer side. It's great that Irina stays at the school; she's a good character and brings a bit needed sexiness in this manga.

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.
