Consider this a big ol\u2019 content warning, as this charming and bizarre story contains many scenes of attempted murder inside a school, as the underachieving students of classroom 3-E are charged with assassinating their teacher! Oh, and that teacher, Koro Sensei, just happens to be a tentacled creature with a giant smiley face for a head, who\u2019s already destroyed most of the moon -- and threatens to do the same thing to the planet Earth unless our hapless junior high students can assassinate him before the school year ends! This may be the silliest book we\u2019ve covered on the podcast \u2013 far sillier than Ambush Bug for sure. But will that be enough to win a seat at that cool kids\u2019 table known as \u2026 The Comics Canon?
