Nagisa and Karma utilize their
stealth skills to steal aboard the rocket headed to the space station, taking
the place of the crash dummies, much to the surprise of the astronauts. Nagisa
threatens them with a bomb (a fake one) and Karma explains their mission in
order to gain their cooperation in gathering the data on Koro Sensei. When
asked how they plan to return, they confidently say that they have that
covered.
The two hitchhikers parachute back
to their classroom, where they find a very angry Karasuma. But Koro Sensei
convinces him that the information which the students gleaned from their trip,
even outside of the data about himself, far outweighs any of Karasuma’s
arguments. Going over the data, they realize that if handled correctly, the
chances of Koro Sensei actually exploding and destroying the earth are minimal,
and everyone rejoices. Can it really be that simple? But, also, is that a risk
they can afford to take?
Koro Sensei wishes to schedule
another career guidance session with each of them. Once they graduate, their
assassination skills will no longer be of use to them, and they have their
futures to consider. That is only 38 days away now. Not a lot of time. Plus
they need to apply to the high school of their choice. For Karma, that’s an
easy decision – he wants to attend Kunugigaoka High School and make the
students’ lives miserable by outshining them lol Nagisa is conflicted about his
career choice if he doesn’t become an assassin. He is surprised when Sakura
asks him what else would he become but a teacher? That idea had actually never
occurred to him.
The second Grim Reaper is still on
the loose – and still determined to wreak vengeance on Koro Sensei! It’s
unfortunate that he has teamed up with mad scientist Yanagisawa to take down
Koro Sensei once and for all!
Valentine’s Day is coming! In
Japan, that’s a time for women to buy chocolates for the men in their lives.
And also for a certain teacher to indulge his matchmaking propensities! How
many couples will he successfully match this year?
Time is ticking away, and the fate
of the world hangs in the balance! As the students prepare for life after
junior high, surely they must be wondering if there will be any life. They have
discovered that the chances of Koro Sensei exploding are minimal, but they
aren’t zero, so some sort of chance remains. And it looks like the wannabe Grim
Reaper is more than happy to add to their confusion, along with the horrible
man who made Koro Sensei what he is today. That can’t be good. Another great
volume, only three more to go!
