Fixed that for you.

And finally we have names for the entire class! And abilities for a bunch of people we haven't seen before! I wonder which of the two is better, the boy's side best marksman or the girl's side best marksman? And the same question for the knife handlers too. I wonder if that is something we'll find out later.

Inevitable 'sports' day chapter coming up.

Well, for all of you wondering home come we haven't seen Class E using their badass military training to stealthily own bullies, there you go.

Also cool getting a good look at who's who and what they can do in this chapter. Somebody should match the captions about individual students' skill-sets to the class diagram at the beginning.

Yeah I loved this. It would have been nice to see a second person locked in the other bathroom once they finally got there, but I guess that's plenty.

I POSSESS QUESTIONABLE TASTE IN TOUHOU GAMES

Most stories perhaps, but not all stories. I doubt you'll find many people who'll say that Rendevous with Rama is a bad story for instance, but it's definitely more about the mystery of Rama and themes of scienctific hope than the characters themselves.

There's a joke about science fiction and sperglords who don't understand actual people enough to understand characterization in there, but I'm not about to speak ill of Arthur C. Clarke.

Without a doubt, this is the best chapter yet.

Though I'm sure that eventually the rear end in a top hat board member will get his comeuppance, and when he does THAT will be the best chapter yet. I can hardly wait!

I make no debate that the characters in Rendevous with Rama are well written, relatable or human - only that they aren't the focus of the story. They don't change much/at all over the course of the story, nor do we find out how the trip to Rama affects them following the trip and the story doesn't try to make you guess about their intentions. All that kind of thing is saved for Rama itself.

Either that or some sort of demolitions expert, though I don't know how well a bomber in a classroom would fly with the censors.

and I never have.
Given the last transfer student is a machine lifeform, I'd be inclined to say this one will be too, to keep with the theme. On the other hand, in order to avoid it being too close in concept to Ritsu, I'd guess Replicant, genetically engineered superhuman or cyborg. Almost positive it's gonna be a boy, though.

The artist did a good job on accurately capturing Sarah Jessica Parker's horse face, I thought. I imagine that the whole R/L distinction must've been a nightmare to native Japanese unless they just used the English letters?

Just an average guy who serves as an average hero.
Would you say its ironic that this manga is almost the exact opposite of that?

I'm sort of worried about the same thing though. Battle Royale had similar problems (although it was way more extreme, admittedly)

That weird oil Korosensei produces has thwarted a lot of assassination attempts. They've finally figured out how to turn that strength against him

That one seemed really short.

I half expected him to just straight up kill both assassins. Or at least disable them. I know they can't do stuff like that but he seems like the type to sacrifice people for a free shot.

At this point I don't even get why they're still even bothering with knife training. They should start reading Flash comics and just copy anything that works on him.

They ought not to do that. Koro's pretty awesome, but he's got nothing on Flash's retardo speeds and lifting anything from that mess of a character is a bad precedent.

Trust me, you are taking this a lot more seriously then I am.
That and half the people Flash fights are essentially deities wielding technology that may as well be magic and in one case wielding technology so advanced it is indistinguishable from magic.

I don't really know much about flash outside the justice league cartoon. He got hit by stuff pretty regularly on that. Koro can move fast enough to leave 30 distinct afterimages of himself while holding 30 distinct conversations at once.

I love the Flash but he kind of doesn't make sense because he is literally faster than light and still fights people who are just dudes with cool guns.

I mean his thinking and reflexes are so fast he can feel a bullet start to hit him, vibrate through it, change into costume then put the dude in prison in a second. He makes Superman look like a pussy. :flashfact:
