暗殺教室 [Ansatsu Kyōshitsu / Assassination Classroom] #16

That unmistakable wide white grin floats against a bold holiday-red tartan plaid, making Koro-sensei's face simultaneously festive and delightfully unsettling — a perfect encapsulation of this series' tonal genius. Volume 16 of Yusei Matsui's beloved Assassination Classroom, subtitled "過去の時間" (Time of the Past), promises to dig deeper into the story's emotional layers. A great addition to any manga shelf, and a striking volume to hold in your hands.
