High school acceptance letters
have been sent out and received, and all of Koro Sensei’s students have been
accepted either by their first or second choices, happily. After yearbook
photos are taken, Koro Sensei decides to make a better yearbook just for his
class, including photos of them they weren’t even aware existed! Naturally, not
everyone is happy about this.
Time stands still for no one,
including Koro Sensei and his class of would-be assassins. The deadline for his
assassination is drawing near, and the government is taking it seriously –
deadly seriously. Far from relying on a classroom filled with young assassins-in-training,
they have put their own plans in place. They manage to trap Koro Sensei on the
mountain so he can’t escape. Then they have Karasuma tell the students to stay
home. When they insist on going to school anyway, they find their way up the
mountain completely blocked. The students end up being taken into custody… “for
their own protection.” Will they take this lying down? Of course not! Where there is a will, there is a way! After
all, they have been trained by Koro Sensei!
Karasuma visits the students in
lockdown and gives them invaluable information, followed by a visit from Ms.
Vitch, with what they will need to carry out their plans. Thanks to Karasuma, they know when to make
their move. The Head Assassin has people deployed all over the mountain. No way
those children can get past his trained men. But they never took into account that
these same students have been training on this mountain for the past year and
know it like the back of their hand, whereas they do not. Not a fair match, is
it?
Down to the wire now, only two
volumes left. The students are determined to complete their assignment of
assassinating Koro Sensei, despite not wanting to do so. But can they overcome
the hurdles that have been placed in their way? They’re still only kids at the
end of the day. But these kids have been trained by the best. So maybe they can
save Koro Sensei’s life, rather than take it.
One way or another, the end is
coming soon. But will it be a happy ending for anyone? Looking forward to the
next volume, somewhat apprehensively.
