We’re With the Banned, our miniseries on challenged comics and graphic novels, rolls on with a discussion of Yusei Matsui’s manga Assassination Classroom Vol. 1: Time for Assassination, published by Viz Media!
Consider this a big ol’ content warning, as this charming and bizarre story contains many scenes of attempted murder inside a school, as the underachieving students of classroom 3-E are charged with assassinating their teacher!
Oh, and that teacher, Koro Sensei, just happens to be a tentacled creature with a giant smiley face for a head, who’s already destroyed most of the moon -- and threatens to do the same thing to the planet Earth unless our hapless junior high students can assassinate him before the school year ends!
This may be the silliest book we’ve covered on the podcast – far sillier than Ambush Bug for sure. But will that be enough to win a seat at that cool kids’ table known as … The Comics Canon?
In This Episode:
· Why was this book banned?
· Voice casting Koro Sensei
· Sinners
· The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss
· Deadly Class Vol. 1: Reagan Youth, by Rick Remender and Wes Craig
Join us in two weeks as We’re With the Banned continues with a discussion of Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer!
