Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
I'm sure plenty of you would love this series. It's about a super-human kid who hates his powers. And Nendou of course.

With that, the first volume has been fully translated! Shame there isn't more interest in this series. Looks like the main group is struggling with translations. Quit sleepin' on this shit yo! Good stuff.
So many Japanese puns in the series, I can see gags for some entire chapters simply not working translated.
hmm, I'm gonna check this one out
I took a look at the manga and MY GOD THIS REMINDS ME OF SKET DANCE.

On scale of AssClass to Gintama, how difficult do think this series is to translate!?
Hey you! Let's party!
I think the characters actions, reactions and interactions are funny, even without the wordplay. The plot is also usually interesting in itself.
On scale of AssClass to Gintama, how difficult do think this series is to translate!?
It's a tough call.
I think due to Gintama being heavy on toilet humor and penis jokes, which are pretty much universal, it's a little easier to translate.
However, while PSI is also heavy with pop culture reference, Gintama is on a whole another unrivaled level on its own with those, so it requires a lot of knowledge and research. On the other hand. PSI is heavier leaning on language puns.
AssClass is easy by comparison to the two.
It's sorta like Phoenix Wright in the sense that the puns themselves aren't inherently necessary to be understood to enjoy it, but it takes a large portion of the content. With PW, instead of translating, they took the route of "localizing" it by replacing humor with script written by writers of their own. Which takes a lot more work, but end result was good.
kimura kon
I had a chance to read the first chapter and I'm surprised how similar the super-powerful protag is like One Punch Man.
Edit: ^^^^^^ Whoaaaaa pink.
LOL Mr. Children. I love this serial \o/
The first episode of the flash anime is up on YouTube by Shueisha.
Why did it start with Gintoki reciting lines from One Piece?
Honestly I think this manga is hilarious. I hope someone keeps translating it. The dodgeball chapters were unbelievably great.
Let's revive the thread since the scanlation was resurrected from the dead.
That chapter 9 was so hilarious fortunately I was not in public transports for once…
Yep, happy to see the scanlation revived. Now I hope they don't stop it again, at least I hope it takes a long time.
The chapter was great. Kusuo parents are so stupid :P, I believe they were doing that on purpose. In the end he trolled them.
One thing that I didn't understood, when he reversed the time, did he reversed his parents relationship too?
Off-topic: It seem that the scanlation of Riotsu(… Kameari ...), the longest manga still running, was revived as well. There was scans until volume 2, they(forgotten scans) scanlated the first chapter of volume 3. Now they have 187 volumes to go XD.
I'm happy to see the scanlation revived just when I got interested in this manga xD
I hope they keep it up.
One heck of unresponsible parents. Then again, any other kind of parents would have put him into a hospital or research insitution of the state when he showed his powers as a baby.
! Hope the next chapters will come in quickly as I wanna see the school/class Idol fall for Saiki and all the other stuff that gonna happen to him and his friends.
Yep that's definitely a spoiler you asshole!
Yep that's definitely a spoiler you asshole!
Thanks for telling me the nice way, I appreciate it.
Chapter 10 is out in English if anybody else is interested:

Yes it was a nicely made one.
Now we know that if a character doesn't get fully naked after a wild fight, it's Saiki's doing.
Nendou is a truly formidable antagonist.
This manga is pure comedy gold, even if it's a based "slice-of-life" manga, now the storyline become interesting to follow with new crazy antagonists appearing.
Nendou is one of the best character in a manga i've seen in a while, for a bunch of reasons.
I've been trying some different manga but i've got a crush for Kusuo Saiki no Psi, i recommend that for those who loves Gintama/Beelzebub comedy part. The author is ingenious.
Saiki no PSI is more psychologic related (but in a funny style) than real action/fight or drama (no real drama at all).
The 2 lasts traduced chapters (scanlators seems not up-to-date compared to the jump mag, but now releases seems regular) are very good and take Saiki on another level.
I'm sad to only see 2 pages for that manga
a new chapter from a new scanlation team

why so short???
It's definitely not the full chapterIt might be the full chapter. That's kinda odd, though. Yeah, it really was only three pages. shrugs
And as with spinyback when they did AC, there's still a good amount of grammatical errors. Improved since the time they did AC, but the quality of the team seems to be eeehhhhh
There are some rather short chapters in this series. It can range from 2 pages to 17 pages for a chapter.
This series is hilarious. Reminds me a lof of Sket Dance.
I'm not too surprised that almost nobody wants to translate it. It's 100+ chapters behind… There is tons of references and it is very episodic which make it more fun to read in bulks.
The chinese scans is up to date as, I think. So, pretty glad for that!
Speaking of Assassination Classroom, there was a chapter where
! Korosensei teaches Kusuo something about tea ceremony. The series does make AC reference occasionally.
If anyone is curious,
! The reason why Kusuo's parents are so chill about their son being an PSI users…SPOILERS
! is because they have an older son who is a child genius. Kusuo has an older brother named Kusuke who is the one that created the antenna thing Kusuo wears. Kusuke is studying abroad in London where people in his university consider him a genius.He gives off the "mad scientist" vibe.
! In an alternative timeline which Kusuo caused, he triggered World War III which cause mass destruction of the world. All because he wanted to bring his brother back to live so he can win against him…LOL
Both brothers mutually dislike each other. The older brother can't stand losing to his own younger brother.He is obsessed in trying to beat his brother.When your younger brother is a PSI users, it's kinda hard to win! The younger one dislike the older one for hating him first. Kusuo also can't read his mind.
This family is so weird! I have yet to mentioned Kusuo's grandparents which are funny characters!
! If their parents had another child, the third child may surpass both of them.XD
Kusuke even advices them to stop their baby making process. While he finds it interesting to see what the third child can do, the law of the universe may be affected! LOL
I don't mind the grammar, it made this so much funnier….. for me at least
& speaking of Assassination Classroom, here is Saiki's easter egg in chapter 118
Hi joining the fun! I'm really happy SpinyBack has picked this up even though that time with AC was…
But at least we're getting chapters! That 3-page chapter made me laugh so much it was almost not fair. Honestly, the humor in this series in amazing. It really makes me want to learn Japanese (when I'm finished with French you're next dammit!).
I especially love Saiki's parents, all chapters that feature them instantly become hilarious. And then Nendou also makes me laugh so much.
But just having Saiki snark at everyone makes this pure gold.
Hilarious new chapter

also give the translator a a slow clap, a high five & cookie
a job well done
I loved how Saiki's hood had holes for his weird antenna thingys haha.
But seriously, the translator needs a whole jar of cookies after this chapter.
Wasn't my favourite chapter but it was fun nontheless. Best moment:
! Teruhashi: "even if I don't ask they still do my bidding - such loyal sevants." That one actually made me laught out loud haha.
It's alive!! I'm glad SpinyBackTeam is still translating it.

Food is a serious business
Saiki is a shonen protagonist after all
Happy birthday Saiki
Let's pray this year will be the year we get an anime
I hope it get an anime too but I kinda think it's unlikely for various reasons.
Saiki should probably get a center colour page around end of May to beginning of June.
Every time there's an anniversary, a new arc will start. And those are pretty good. Quite interested in that.
According to 2ch, Saiki's big announcement is an anime adaptation :wub:
Let's pray this year will be the year we get an anime
that was quick 
Well hopefully now more people will work on the manga
I read an announcement about a live action movie but nothing about anime.
@Ura:
I read an announcement about a live action movie but nothing about anime.
yeah, that's sad really, never trust 2ch people
I'm not giving up though, I'm hoping they will announce an anime in the next jump festa
the movie could help too, if it does well & make this more popular

I hope so! I would love an anime of Saiki.
As we wait for the big announcement next week (which hopefully will be an anime this time) i found something neat, some group started scanlating volume zero which is a collection of oneshots written by the author before the Saiki Kusuo series was serialized
Thank God.
Perhaps now the manga will finally get the attention it deserves.
new chapter
http://bato.to/reader#0d73605523b4d8d6
this entire chapter was just a shameless shonen jump plug
One Piece better watch its back because Odd-Eye Persona Cerberus is wsj next big thing
