Reviews

I actually enjoyed this installment more than the first. I think the story developed more, and the craziness just went one step further. I like crazy. It suits me. I really like the main character, Koro-Sensi, and even though so many want to assassinate him, he is still totally devoted to his students. Now, that's admirable!
My only complaint, is that there is a somewhat stereotypical character thrown into this volume, that seems to use their sexuality as a weapon. Is the best storyline one can do?
However, despite that, the artwork was exquisite, and it was a decent volume. I look forward to the next one!

The craziness continues as we get a new female teacher in the school, who happens to be hot AND an international assassin. She doesn't even want to teach, she just wants to kill Koro Sensei, but they want her to teach her, and she decides to stay there, since this is part of the goofy premise of the story, that they want to both be assassins AND learn!

There's a class trip, which Koro Sensei admirably prepares them for. The students have to assassinate him, of course, so he doesn't destroy the planet, and they get this, but now he is such a good teacher that they love him. . . and as the lowest-performing group of the school, are actually improving under his tutelage. It's pretty funny, I will definitely keep reading.

A LOS ASESINOS NO SE LES CASTIGA, SE LES PULE.
A LOS ALUMNOS NO SE LES ENSEÑA, LES MUESTRAS SUS DONES Y SUS HABILIDADES.

Esta historia creo algo maravilloso entre sus paginas, ¿Qué fue?

1. Critica al sistema educativo.
2. Dictadura en la enseñanza.
3. Descubrir tus virtudes y dones como alumnos.
4. Existen trampas en la vida, pero no te debes rendir a la primera.
5. EL personaje principal, dios mio, me ha enseñado tanto de la educación, la enseñanza y el pensamiento constructivo en 8 horas, que yo encerrado en un aula de clases por 4 años en la licenciatura.

3.5 stars. i liked the first volume better, and sometimes the new character, Irina, made me uncomfortable. i liked the concept of her being really scandalous as a way of getting close to her targets, but the scenes when she would be flirty with the students icked me out. other than that, the story was still fun and the plot is starting to pick up on a serious note than just a fun little story. i can’t wait to continue this series!

[Autumnal]

Not as good as the first one, but it still continues to be really original and exciting. I’m loving it so far

"Target and teacher. Assassin and student. Everybody in this strange classroom... Is successfully juggling two roles at the same time."

The students of class E, the Assassination Classroom, are about to take their mid-terms.
Koro-Sensei, the octopus-alien-squishy-thing who shot a hole in the moon and is threatening to do the same to the earth if these low-scoring junior high students can't kill him by the time they graduate to high school, is working double-time to make sure his kids can pass. Everything from a 'foreign languages' teacher to specialized quizzes in each child's weakest subjects, Koro-Sensei will stop at nothing to make sure his potential assassins make the best marks possible.

But the deck is stacked against the kids in class E, the lone mountaintop schoolroom.
The elite prep school they go to makes an example out of them, parading them down the mountain every day to ensure the rest of the student body knows exactly who NOT to be like.
Even the principal needs them to stay in the bottom percent.

"To put it bluntly, I need class E to stay as it is. My goal is to create an environment that guarantees that 95% work hard. I need a scapegoat. A %5 everyone hates and no one wants to be."

Deranged alien or not, Koro-Sensei will not stand for it.
Class is in session.

"But I can still hold my head high... And be proud that I'm a part of class E."

This series goes full-fucking-on Mr. Holland's Opus on you so damn fast.
Tightly wound sci-fi with a bunch of fun characters to bounce around the plot, and still, an endearing story about overcoming what people think about you.
How... How awesome can it get? Jesus frak, I'm in love.

art specs


Um...
Good.



Seriously, Matsui's art is great. Fluid, animation-like movement, quirky character add-ons, cute or crazy, depending on what the scene needs, and a lot of things going on.
Love it, still.

This series is a must-read if you want fun with zany action.
... Not to mention a little heart.

"Give it your best. And raise your head high with a smile on your face."

3.5 out of 5 stars

A decent volume but not as good as the first. I didn't like the new character that was introduced she was a stereotypical seductive girl that is in some Manga. the stereotype just ticks me off but it was still a decent volume

[RG]

3.5* solid manga story. We get a sexy new teacher also an assassin who attempts to kill koro sensei. Builds on the relationships between students and teachers. Slowly building. I might check out the anime to see if it engages me more.

[Eduard]

The new teacher is the only reason why this volume gets only two stars. Stereotypical bullshit and even pedophilic behaviour ( suffocating a 13 yo kid with her tits !?? ). Ahem what?!

[dani ♡]

first volume was fun, this one just annoyed me. the fanservice was way too much. idk if i’ll continue the series.

[Brendan]

Still an interesting series but this felt like filler and never developed the series like it should. Small annoyance but easily forgiven when this story shows more interesting plot points. Long series so hopefully it develops as opposed to biding its time.

[Jim Gorman]

Ok, short review here. It is one of those Japanese magna set about life in school But the big twist is that their teacher is not human, has destroyed most of the moon and plans on doing the same if the kids in the class don't kill him. He commands them to try to kill him. That is a big left turn there.

The funny thing is that the teacher does everything he can to help the kids learn and become better. They really are lucky to have him, although the principal has set up that class to be, and stay, the failures. This is to keep the other classes working hard so they don't get sent there as punishment. The deck is stacked against them academically and in their mission to kill him.

In this volume we get a new teacher for the class. She is a foreign language teacher, but also an assassin sent to kill him. She uses her sex appeal and wits to try to kill him and fails. The boys like her because of her sexiness but none of the students respect her because she doesn't respect them. Eventually that will change, but it takes some doing.

If you are looking for a fun little read, and like magna, this is a good series. I think here is only 6 books, and I am on number 3 now.

[Samantha wickedshizuku Tolleson]

Fan service GALORE! Still hilarious none the less.

[DonutKnow]

What a great teacher :) Also Irina isn't that bad- she's a big kid if anything :P

[FANGIRLslay {going beyond, plus ultra!}]

I love this series but I was not prepared for... ahem... THAT scene

[Nadine]

I like this series, it is weird and a bit odd but I find it entertaining and engaging. book 2 ended with a bit of a cliffhanger and I was happy to be able to go on reading right away as I got the first 3 books from the library.

[SwedishGeekGirl]

A good and fun volume but not as funny as the first one. I look forward to continue and see what is gonna happen in the next one though.
Assassination classroom volume 2 by Yusei Matsui get a 8.1/10 stars.

[Jana Rpt]

I actually started this like a week ago but I got into a reading slump so it took me wayyyy too long to finish it whoops. Still loved it tho

[B!!!]

Yeah this manga series is about to mean a lot to me huh?

[ada!!]

I WISH I GOT THE THIRD BOOK TOO MY GOD

[heartbrekkers ♡]

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

[Ellie Grace]

I loved the first volume and most of this one, but the pedophilia/ SA Ms. Vitch was disgusting. I hate that new teacher, but other than that vile creature the rest of the volume was alright.

Koro sensei was amazing as always. There were some very annoying stereotypes that I should have expected and the plot was kinda weak. There was also sexism! It was 2012 but still nasty. The girls scored lower than the boys on average and that’s just not fair. Even the highest scoring girl in the class got a lower score than the second highest boy. This decked a star.

I don’t hate Ms. Vitch because she’s pretty or whatever it’s because they wrote stuff with her that was just intirely unnecessary. Like yes seduce the alien if you want. But leave Nagisa out of it. He’s like 12-14ish I think and that’s DISGUSTING. Everyone treated that part as normal but it was flat out SA. That decked 3 stars.
So I was about to give this 1 star but then.
THE SPECIAL WITH SAIKI WAS A WONDERFUL END! I LOVE SAIKI AND WAS NOT EXPECTING TO SEE HIM IN THIS.

[Heather]

This volume wasn't quite as interesting as the first because I normally read them in one sitting.I felt like it was just a book in the middle of all the action that is going to happen in Volume 3. Nothing really happened until Class 16. The artwork was still very amazing and it's like nothing I could ever do myself.

[Laura]

me at the end of this one

[Vail Chester]

So you hoped to bring in a vamp/Marvel's Black Widow-esque character into this and still be suitable for younger audiences? Hahaha nope.
Not to mention we see just what the kids are up against what with PURPOSEFULLY being kept at the bottom so their outlook on life is bleak; let's see if their teacher can turn their paradigms of the world around, kinda like the Cat in the Hat...if he was a wholesome tentacle monster.

[Jenny Clark]

A pretty fun manga. This one was a tad light on plot, but I do love how Koro-Sensi is so devoted to his students, and they to him. There were not so many assassination attempts here, this was more just a school manga. The art is pretty good, nice and polished, without too many action lines and such to distract. Also, Naruto!

[Ross]

This edition? Add a big time female hit woman used to relying on her physique and attractiveness to get her kills. Can she take out the super alien?

Also, how does the principal react when the students of class E start showing real promise and ability?

[Callam Farrell]

Pretty good

[Ashleigh Clayton]

REALLY GOOD READ beats the first book by far!!
