暗殺教室 [Ansatsu Kyōshitsu / Assassination Classroom] #21

A breathtaking crescent moon and sweeping Milky Way dominate this cover, with the silhouettes of a large group of students gathered outside their classroom building beneath the vast night sky — a quietly moving image that perfectly captures the bittersweet tone suggested by the subtitle "ありがとうの時間" ("Time for Gratitude"). By Yūsei Matsui and published under Jump Comics, this twenty-first volume of Assassination Classroom carries the weight of a series approaching its conclusion, and that starlit farewell mood comes through in every detail of the artwork. Fans of this beloved series will find this volume's cover alone a fitting tribute to the bond between a class and their extraordinary teacher.
