According to the law of Conservation of Characters, the new teacher's probably going to be Youko's aunt or something, I'm guessing. After all, we've seen her picture before on one of the volume pages, haven't we?

Also, wow this was out pretty fast.

If you're referring to the new cover art, that's a new character.

She scored higher than him in the popularity contest when all she had was a mention in dialogue, and one panel.

If this manga has taught us anything it is this.

The more serious their first impression, the dumber they will be revealed to be (by the end of the chapter at MOST)

On a side note which character do you all think has the best introduction in the series?

For me it was Shirogane Karen. I can go back reread it and that chapter will still kill me. :D

I don't know, it was good but the maid cafe chapter is perhaps the greatest comedy chapter ever written in... well anything.

I feel like she's had a lot of wasted potential as a character right now. She doesn't have much interaction with the supporting cast and the author hasn't really done much with the missing halo thing yet.

She's funny, and that's all that counts. Besides, she's had one very notable interaction with Shimada and Aizawa's brother, can't forget that :unsmigghh:

I think they really missed the mark with the Truthism anime in not making them Azumanga Daioh-esque shorts. They could've fit a lot more into it at a better pace, and could've gotten to this chapter, potentially.

Cover inside the dust jacket of volume 12. Not directly from the comic itself, but in case you're really super paranoid about spoilers, translations are up to the middle of volume 11 right now.
