Assassination Classroom Complete Box Set Paperback – Box set, September 3, 2019

Complete box set was delivered very quickly, just in time for a birthday. The box set was in immaculate condition.

I have been wanting to get my hands on this boxset for ages, but unable to bc I already owned some of the volumes individually. HOWEVER, I (after deciding I'd trade in the ones I have for money back) finally bit the bullet and bought it at 43% off, and I'm in love with it!! the box is sturdy cardboard and has velcro to close the lid with a handle for easy moving! the artbook is gorgeous and the double sided poster is cool too!! Overall, if you're a fan of this series, this is so worth it!!

Arrived in perfect condition with everything in tact. Was a birthday gift for my sister. She loved it! Highly recommend!

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. This was on her list of things that she wanted. I think it’s well worth the cost for the amount of books that you get. It’s the complete series and I think it’s worth the price that you pay. My daughter is very happy with her gift. I would definitely buy again if I had to.

This book series is the best. I’m on book 16 right now and it’s just getting better and better. Highly recommended for junior high and middle school students.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked up this series. I had just finished another series, and wanted another somewhat long manga series to read and this was on sale. I assumed by the title that it would be very bloody and violent...I was wrong. While there is blood occassially, it's about as threating as a paintball game.The story is about a monster who tells the government that he will destroy the world in one year if he isn't killed by then. He can only be killed with special bullets and knifes which don't hurt normal people (think rubber knifes and plastic pellets). He tells the government his only demand is that he teaches a very specific class for one year, and there job is to assassinate him.The kids will come up with plans to kill him, and will get better and better at becoming assassins, but also become better students in the long run. The whole series takes place over one year, and there are very little filler chapters. For the most part every chapter is moving the story forward, or introducing a character or motivation.If you are looking for series, that is more about the underdog learning to fight back and win, you might enjoy this.

To note, I got this while it was on sale. If possible, I highly suggest looking for discounts prior to buying a box set like this, especially if you are a parent trying to get your anime loving kid a nice present.This came brand new, still wrapped in plastic. All of the books look beautiful, and the collection itself is wonderful on the bookshelf. It comes with a small poster that has the school roster on the back side. It also comes with a small art book, though I am unclear if the art book was made alongside the manga or after the anime came out.For the manga itself (if you are a fan of the anime), I have some mediocre news for you. The manga adds almost no new content (as far as I've been able to read), and actually misses a few small things. Most of the stuff missed are one-liners that are in the anime, such as when Koro Sensei makes a sand castle, in the anime a student comments on it being a specific model of a castle in japan, but the manga just says "sand castle" and leaves it at that. If you are a big fan of the anime, I'm sure you'll notice these small absences.

Honestly, this series is so much better than it has any right to be. What on the surface seems to be a silly comedy with an absurd premise about an octopus moster threating to destroy the earth unless a junior high class can assassinate him, is actually a compelling, wholesome story about the importance of education, various life lessons, and can even be quite emotional. No real filler in this story, the author had a story to tell, told it, and the story doesn't drag on and overstay it's welcome.
