Assassination Classroom: End Time

Nagisa at the end, though, was amazing. It makes me really want to see what his continued adventures are like, haha. My real wish is to see what Matsui thinks of next, but those last several pages are just so satisfying that I keep rereading them. What a good series.

CaptainAppleJack

Man, I'm gonna miss enjoying some Matsui goodness every week. Hope he'll be back with another great entry soon.

Wagomu

Also worthy of note, we didn't get the Korosensei returns ending! Well, you could say Nagisa fills that role, but that's the perfect way to handle it. I didn't even question it when I was reading, but up til last week I was still sort of expecting to get a nod at his eventual return, which would have been wrong, but kind of conventional. So glad Matsui found the better way of handling it.

SunnyBlue

Neuro ending satisfied me. So did Assassination Classroom ending. I can't help but grin at the last page. Nagisa is a boss.

Korosensei return will be a huge and lazy cop out. Nagisa inheriting Korosensei's will (becoming a teacher) is a much better ending.

I'm confused with Kayano line. Is she pregnant or is she talking about her future baby that had yet to exist??

I'm looking forward to Matsui's next work. With AC's popularity, it will be a while before he can start his next work. Hopefully, next year he can start a new series.

Satsuki

I demand a sequel about Paradise High.

Brotato

Pretty satisfying ending. Good job Matsui, eagerly awaiting your next work.

Worth noting that we'll still be getting some extra chapters in the coming weeks. (and it doesn't appear to be the spinoff stuff)

@SunnyBlue:

I'm assuming the latter… or Nagisa needs to get his shit together.

Nagisa "massive growth spurt". K.

Assassination classroom: Nagisa-sensei time?

Satsuki

Assassination Classroom: Paradise High. I. WANT.

maxterdexter

I guess it will be expanded on the volume to cover the rest's futures.

Bond en Avant

I…I think she's pregnant.
I think she's pregnant guys.

Sythus

Loved the ending overall, thought it was handled well. Really satisfying end to a great manga, will really miss it! :sad:

Wouldn't have minded seeing Nagisa and Kayano together though. And speaking of her, she's pregnant, isn't she? Good job Nagisa, if it's his!

Razh

@Bond:

I…I think she's pregnant.
I think she's pregnant guys.

I got the feeling she just found out or something. As for her being an afterthought to Nagisa, she probably means he's currently hyped at being a teacher. Why would she even be an afterthought to Nagisa if they don't have a thing going?

The train station couple were deffinitely the two of them. Nobody dare try to convince me otherwise! :ninja:

KageKageKing

I guess it was Nagisa and Kayano at the Train Station.

I like to think Ritsu become a Vocaloid.

Plaubflfoy

Aaaand it's over.
Wonderful ending, Nagisa looks like Koro-sensei with that hair. Everyone gets his own finale, and we can see how Nagisa has inherted Koro-sensei's will. But, for god's sake, Matsui, could you please tell us cleary if they are together?
Let's see what does the extra chapters have to say, Nagisa as a real teacher in the classroom? (cosplaying as Koro-sensei)

Btw, in the gray pages they announced a fanbook called [Graduation Album Time] (卒業アルバムの時間). It'll have all the published color pages (I think it says so), plus, some Neuro ilustrations that fans some sended to Matsui. Also, he'll draw the future of the 5 most popular characters. It'll be released July 4th

black-leg jex

That was a great ending. I am gonna miss this series. We will be going all over this again when the anime makes it to the end as well, oh boy. I guess the anime will confirm for us who the train station couple are because they will have voices. But i guess it is Nagisa and Kayano, or at least Kayano and someone

auem

fantastic story from beginning to end..and doing it twice…hats off to Matsui.
I hope he will come back in couple of years.

maxterdexter

Did any of the students fail to show up? I didn't see kirara, the creepy story girl.

She's shown on page 9 (on MS), she seems to work as a librarian.

This series had a lot of highs and lows but it wrapped up decently.

Not the very top of my "Favourite Manga" list, but it was an enjoyable journey which was worth it.

This is what all mangas should do: end with a bang.

Baldulf

So Nagisa landed at Cromartie High School.

I was expecting to see Freddie Mercury at some point.

Outerspec

A satisfying end to a satisfying and enjoyable manga. I wouldn't mind reading a spinoff of the series regarding Paradise High either.

maxterdexter

I liked well enough, but after the Kayano and flashback high, it crashed down with the final villians. It rose again but didn't reach those levels.

Satsuki

I just noticed that Nagisa DID cut his hair!

And he does look better with it. Sorry, Mom.

KaizokuJinbei

That was a solid ending. Gonna miss it.

Chrior

Really good ending, I was very pleased. I'll always remember this series as something really pleasant to read every week. Can't wait to see what Matsui has in store next!

kouch_lee

This was a good manga. I was never super anxious about it, but I almost always found it enjoyable. The last fights were rushed, true, but they weren't that bad, to be honest.

And, at the end of the day, Matsui is just a great comic book author. He knows the medium, has great imagination and he's one of the best at portraying movement and dynamism, and of course facial expressions. He's also a pretty good storyteller. So, yeah, keep them coming!

SunnyBlue

I'm actually glad that Matsui stuck to his overall plan. AC is doing so well in Japan, he could easily extended the story but he remained firm in his story direction.

I really appreciate how you can see the skeleton of the story. We know the end goal since the first chapter and the author work towards to it. Some author lose track of their story direction and start making bullshit along the way…That's the biggest pity...

One of my biggest criticism of this series is the weird balance between slice of life element (school life stuff involving Asano & comedic moments) and the assassination aspect (Assasinating Korosensei, Hired assassin, GOD etc). I enjoy both elements but it can be quite jarring at time...

It's by no means a "perfect" series (notably after Kayano reveal, it became boring) but it's nevertheless a enjoyable ride.

For some reason , I want to see Matsui do a story inspired by Greek mythology. Imagine all the weird & insane character designs he can draw.

Kisoto

I'm so glad I checked before going to bed! That was so satisfying and didn't leave me feeling upset or in tears. I don't think a Manga has left me feeling like that at its end before, so I'm super happy. Now we have the rest of the anime and the spinoff chapters to look forward to. Hoping its something to the tune of Gokusen with how Nagisa should be schooling those delinquents! XD

Zar

Admittedly I lost interest a little bit after Kayano's reveal. I don't know exactly why, but I've mostly been skimming through the remainder of the manga.

This manga is very strange to me. It's not perfect, it constantly wavered between enjoyable and boring, and especially towards the end the tension was almost completely gone. However I don't regret reading it, and most importantly I respect Matsui for sticking to the script. There's a clear structure, the atmosphere never changes too much, the big plot point with the students killing koro sensei actually goes through. It ended on an unusually happy note. I also like that he didn't drag the story. From what I've understood AC is selling very well, so if Matsui wanted he could've milked the story until oblivion. But he didn't and instead ended it fairly early. It's very inspiring.

I'm in this position where I think the story could've been handled a lot better, but I don't have the heart to dislike it. I can't really explain it. It's like, yes it has flaws, but it's kinda allowed to.

Ultimately I'd say that this is a manga that, for better or worse, didn't take many chances. On one hand it means there aren't many surprises or dramatic moments, but it also means it stuck to it's original vision and told the story it wanted to tell. It was bold enough to try a weird but fresh concept instead of doing what's trendy, and allowed itself to go slowly and just portray a happy mood at times. Korosensei was hilarious.

Big_Bad_Lith

A solid ending. I think the epilogue lasted a bit longer than it needed to, you could've just done a single "7 years later" chapter after they finally completed the assassination, but it's all cool.

Looking forward to that side-story. Maybe Koro-sensei could meet Neuro?

Cruithne

It's always fun seeing a manga to it's end when you've been there since it first started.

The ending was alright on its own (though Kayano's an afterthought to Nagisa? Probably not meant to be that harsh, but what?). It would've been better had I actually cared about most of the students, though. I wish we we could've gotten more focus on the non-main ones.

Bond en Avant

Kayano saying she's an after thought is probably just her being humble. She doesn't seem the type to go around saying "Nagisa loves me so much, it's awesome!"

The gooder quality version

Thanks to Galaxy9000 and friends for providing when none would otherwise (and at a higher quality)!

Kdom

I read the 3 last chapters in a row. That was very satisfying and Nagisa last pages are perfect.
The serie was really enjoyable to read mainly because Matsui writing style is really original and his humor always top notched. Of course the villains are not the one I will remember but the scenario was well constructed. Contrary to TLC, I appreciate he didn’t went into needless details that would have extend the serie for nothing. The heart of the serie was class E students and they all had their moments.

Razh

Yeah, it wasn't about the good guys defeating villains here. That was almost like a secondary plot. So, in a way, it makes sense they weren't given as much attention.

Somewhere

Solid ending. It's been quite the enjoyable ride.

Its due to Kayanos lack of development and being a weak lead female protagonist, she had less development than Irina..
