Spoiler for 18:

RRW · 2012-11-11, 21:43

It's elmo along with red stuff.

So i wonder when the sniper become their teacher

leokiko · 2012-11-11, 22:46

Still enjoyable though we still are yet to see if this will go GTO's or Reborn's way.

I think Toriko's debut was pretty high as well, but can't find any figures.

Not at all a fair comparison.
Bakuman's 154k number is sum of all 7 days of the week.
AC sold 121k in just THREE DAYS.
Not to mention all first prints have been sold out within the first five days.

This happens because oricon only counts through every Sunday.
Bakuman v1 was released on a Monday, thus had the entire week counted.
Assassination Classroom v1 was released on a Friday, so only the weekend was counted.

So yes, I would say AC exceeded Bakuman by a fair margin.

Koro-sensei is awesome, I'm really enjoying this manga and Koro-sensei's quirks.

Bumping to post something cool: Some character profiles from the first volume! Credit goes to the guys at AP for originally posting these:

i like korosensei strong point. karasuma having military background is not really surprising. do you think he just random government official?

According to Wikipedia, the 1st Airborne are like the US Army Rangers, some of the best (but not the absolute best) the Japanese military have to offer. I find it odd that his background isn't more exaggerated.

They better make a joke about Nagisa being a vegetarian and Bitch-sensei throwing her breasts at him for more info.

aohige · 2012-11-15, 02:50

Aaaaand with the second week oricon numbers out, I was completely right. *commence boasting*

Assassination Classroom volume 1 sold 208k copies in first 10 days.
By comparison, Bakuman volume 1 sold 192k copies in first 14 days.

See? See?

As for Toriko, the first week was 69k in 6 days, and 2nd week it was off the top 30 (less than 22k)
So at most 80-90k over 13 days.

I read the first 9 chapters of this series and just couldn't get into it. Weird humor doesn't really appeal to me all that much.

marvelB · 2012-11-15, 18:52

Oh yeah, meant to address this earlier:

Well.... to be honest, I wasn't really sure. Admittedly I did kinda think he was just a generic agent when I first saw him, but it did become evident soon enough that he had SOME kind of defense training. I just wasn't sure if it was military, though. But hey, at least it's cleared up now!

Anyway, I managed to sneak a peek at the raw for chapter 20:

Spoiler for chapter 20:

As I said in the OPM thread, I'd actually pay cold hard cash to see Saitama vs. Koro-sensei become a reality. It would be one killer matchup (and yes, pun totally intended).

Chapter 19 is out, and it has a shocker

Spoiler for Chapter 19:

P.S: Good to see the fanart flowing.

Hookers lie about their age all the time.

Just sayin'

They already matched him up against the strongest human in Jump, Saiki Kusuo.

All three of them are equally ridiculous, but a real fight between Saiki and Koro-sensei would end with Earth being destroyed, regardless of who won.

RRW · 2012-11-19, 08:08

No way she is 20, she look 30 *BANG!!*

..............................

*back from grave*

anyway, it interesting that kurama knew some of koresensei flashback. also he less focused on killing sensei but more interested to make class E happy.

Oh yeah, that reminds me: I actually read that crossover comic (yeah, it's been translated, guys)! I'm unsure if that Saiki guy's series is being translated, though. If it is, I'll be sure to check it out sometime, since he seems like an amusing fellow.

But for the moment, I'm still more interested in the octopus vs. super-baldy fight.

marvelB Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	Chapter 18 is out now too, guys! Spoiler for 18: You know, I actually kinda like that sniper guy. In fact, I hope he returns at some point in the near future (possibly as a teacher)..... Also, LOL at Koro-sensei as a samurai. And if I'm not mistaken, was that a Duck Hunt reference near the end of the chapter? That one being shot didn't resemble the dog (looks more like Elmo from Sesame Street actually, lol ), but the Mario hat leads me to believe that it was a Nintendo reference, so.....

Credit goes to the guys at AP for originally posting these: Spoiler: God, Nagisa looks just as androgynous as ever, I see. Also, nice to learn that Karasuma DOES have a military background. I had wondered if a military combat expert would be teaching class E, and now it looks like I don't have to worry about that any longer, after all. Anyhow, I guess the second volume will have the character bios of people like Karma and Bitch-sensei....

Requiem-x The slacking one Join Date: Apr 2012	Chapter 19 is out, and it has a shocker Spoiler for Chapter 19: Our first clue on korosensei's background, specifically, the implication he might not have always been the weird but lovable tentacle monster he is today. Also, the un-sexiest peeping event ever, and BITCH-SENSEI IS ONLY 20 YEARS OLD!? P.S: Good to see the fanart flowing.

Diveman Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011	Spoiler for ch 19: I was shocked by Bitch-sensei's age too!!!!! Also, there was a hint in a random flashback some chapters ago, and it showed Koro-sensei's true form but shadowed, so I assumed everyone knew that wasn't his true form.
