description Assassination Classroom Overview

Tucked in the mountains near the elite Kunugigaoka Middle School lies a small derelict building that houses the delinquents and dropouts of Class 3-E. Looked down upon by their peers, the students in this class appear to have little hope in advancing their academic careers. That is, until the national government tasks them with eliminating the greatest threat to their planet: their new teacher.

help Assassination Classroom FAQ

Why are the students in Class 3-E trying to kill their teacher?

Class 3-E is assigned to assassinate Koro-sensei because he threatens to destroy Earth after already damaging the Moon. The twist is that he is also their homeroom teacher and becomes unusually committed to improving their lives.

What is Kunugigaoka's Class 3-E in Assassination Classroom?

Class 3-E is the isolated end class at Kunugigaoka Junior High, where struggling students are sent and looked down on by the rest of the school. The classroom's mountain location reinforces the social gap between them and the main campus.

Who trains the students besides Koro-sensei?

Tadaomi Karasuma handles much of the military and assassination training for Class 3-E. Irina Jelavic also joins as a professional assassin, giving the class a very different kind of teacher.

Which studio animated Assassination Classroom?

The TV anime was produced by Lerche. The manga by Yusei Matsui ran in Weekly Shonen Jump, and the anime keeps the mix of school comedy, action training, and final-exam pressure.
