Man, why did it take me so long to read this?

Anyway, DAMN!

Nagisa is crazy! Al that wait certainly paid off. The little guy is already a full fledged assassin. Goes to show this isn't your usual shounen manga. You know, in case the tentacle monster didn't tip you off.

Also, it's good to know those girlish looks are no accident.

Still I think any skeptic, if they read until here, will hopefully be convinced that Assassination Classroom is a great Manga indeed and has a lot of potential. If the awesomeness goes on as it does right now, it will surely be more popular among Western readers too. This would be easy once there is an anime, but I hope they wait with that so it does not just become a small 26 episode anime.

I'm not sure if I would like an anime of it. To me it may not turn out well. Still I would give it a shoot and see how it would turn out.

It's simple, they could just become a yuri couple. It's so adorable.

And if Nagisa really is a girl, I think some of his friend figured it out already but keep silent because of embarrassment, just like Yukimura's case in Haganai.

Is the Japanese meme of "Nah he's too cute to be a girl" joke familiar in the English fandom?

Never heard of it. It sounds completely backwards

I like the Chairman as villain. He is evil. but at same time fair and square.

That's kind of the point.
It's a joke based on how popular 男の娘 otokonoko (normally meaning boy, but spelled ko as a girl), a boy that looks like a girl, has become.

こんな可愛い子が女の子のはずがない = "Someone this cute can't possibly be a girl"

It's a very popular meme in Japanese otakudom, commonly used when a feminine appearing boy (a.k.a "traps") is debated whether he is actually a girl or not.
The phrase is used as a humorous refute.

I agree. I would like to see how he would be if he was in charge of class E or any class for that matter. Sure we saw him coach the baseball team but that wasn't that much it was just reassuing them that they are the best ans stuff. Still the centipede scene was eww. Really hate centipedes.

ChampDream · 2013-05-14, 17:53

this chapter was really good
the chairman is really like the true final boss and Karasuma-sensei beating Takaoka was great too

marvelB · 2013-05-14, 19:03

I gotta second the centipede thing. That was just.... ugh.

Anyway, I have a strong feeling that this isn't the last we've seen of Takaoka. He obviously can't return as an educator, but I can easily see him returning in secret in order to get revenge on those who humiliated him (particularly Nagisa and Karasuma)......

Fwarlord · 2013-05-15, 03:02

I am very curious about the chairman. Both his appearance and action is very similar to Neuro in Matantei Neuro. He also had no fear when confronted Koro-sensei and appeared to know a lot about him. So I don't think the chairman is a normal human, but what can he possibly be?

He might be just a normal "twisted" human

Kanon · 2013-05-15, 15:38

Yep, I think he's a normal human. A very twisted one. So far he's been an enjoyable villain. I'd like to see more of him. The centipede thing was indeed pretty disgusting...

marvelB Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	So! The raw for 42 is out: Spoiler for AC 42: Basically, the chapter starts with everyone still praising Nagisa on his victory over Takaoka. Amusingly, Koro-sensei takes the knife afterwards and eats it, lol. Karasuma once again notes how Nagisa is a genius in assassination. As far as Takaoka goes, well: Spoiler: He does not take his loss to Nagisa very well..... And to make matters worse, we even get a surprise appearance from the principal, Asano! How will Class E handle this situation...? TUNE IN NEXT TIME WHEN THE TRANSLATION IS OUT!
