Hmm, how'd we end up with 2 chapters this week? Or have we been a bit behind the raws this whole time?

Well never mind that...the end of 23 looks great. Can't wait for the translation.

23 is the most current chapter in Japan. Last week's translation took me a bit longer than usual, mostly due to RL craziness.

It's supposed to be a discussion thread, that's why. At least you could give your opinion on the chapter.

The new color spread is a really funny one. It is available in the cover thread in otoku shoten forum.
I didn't realize it's meaning until I zoom the image :-))

this manga seriously has issues. from the teachers to students...... i like it. but hopefully this will be the start of a long arc against the principal and not the same old student arc. also kuro's hoby of novel was interesting :) i laughed so hard about that lol...

I'm not sure to understand what is the problem with this manga being episodic so far ? Is that seriously a big issue ? I'm currently enjoying this little acts and I would prefer if the big fishes like the principal are saved for later.

i have no problem for any manga to be episodic but this manga. i probably cant explain why i feel this way thou... lol. about the principal i just want him to be the 1st real big boss. i also wouldnt like him if he becomes a loveable person. his behaviour is good i want him to stay that way. :)

Korosensei gives a much better definition for "sensei no bulge" than the manga series ever did. :P

I really don't mind the way the manga is going, and I'm enjoying it every week. I think the thing is that since it's so hugely popular, some people are expecting too much from it for an only 20-chapter long new series. Because of its exaggerated popularity for something so recent people expect some kind of stronger complexity that would be difficult a new series to have (especially one that focuses quite a lot in humor). AC is a very creative and singularly weird manga, but it's obvious it needs some time to develop itself, and when I read some things like that I feel people are just being impatient over it, wanting it to be deeper or go into more long or serious arcs already. I think it's good the manga is taking its time with nice and funny episodic chapters to get some buildup too, and so far the quality hasn't disappointed at all. I'm not really speaking to cearon or anyone in particular since I obviously can't know each case individually, but in general I get the feeling some people think that. Just because it's being even with One Piece in ToCs, which is incredible, it doesn't mean it can possibly have the same complexity in 20 or so chapters as OP has built in nearly 700 chapters, and it's ridiculous to expect that (and note that it's still getting bit by bit deeper, with this virtual being thing and the most recent chapter with shows class E discrimination a bit more seriously). Well, I guess most of the members who post in this thread don't think like that, since they do post here for some reason :p. Anyway, AC is a very funny and positively peculiar manga, and that's that, but it shouldn't be expected to rush things and deeply develop too soon, so let's just enjoy it for now :)

Apart from that, the AI matter might expand more afterwards since I also see some potential for something deeper on that, but it's probably not right away since things seem to have wrapped up a bit with this new chapter focusing on something else. And Teeba, the way it's now it doesn't look like brainwashing since Korosensei probably just added the possibility of her being like that and let her choose whether to use those new options or not, instead of programming her to be like that. We also saw that in the end some part was focused on her having a personal opinion since she disobeyed her own "parents" to be the way she wants, which is also a good conclusion, putting her more near the human than the personality-less machine she would supposedly be.
I also liked chapter 23 a lot, it managed to transmit a little bit of that depressing feeling of rainy season but was also quite interesting with this stuff about being in attack mode whenever it's with people in a weaker position. I'm getting hungry for next chapters :tss

Did any of you see the new volume cover?



You just have to love Matsui :lmao I wonder if he will continue with Korosensei's face for the next few volumes :XD

I don't like this one. Not really. It doesn't have the same effect on me as the first one, it's nothing new. Though it's nice he's brave enough to continue with those covers. Wonder what he'll pull next. Maybe something like the face we saw in the last chapter? We'll see.

And yeah, the colors are another reason for my distaste of this cover. Just don't like this green and this yellow, but that's a personal thing.

I really like those covers, nice and simple and the colours give you eye-cancer LOL
but they are different from the usual character close-ups and highly polished artworks you never see in a comparable way while reading the manga itself (I mean YOU Kaori Yuki!)

The same for me these colorss are a bit off. Keeping a single one may have been better

Now, here's a spoiler from chapter 25, though it actually has to do with the upcoming VOMIC:

On the cover of the chapter, it says that they've chosen Masaya Onosaka as the voice actor for Korosensei. Whatever happened to the Nicolson auditions is unknown, as it is not mentioned here.

It says the rest of the cast is listed on page 514 of the issue, but I couldn't find a copy of that page. Instead, I found a Twitter post listing the cast as follows:

暗殺教室 VOMIC声優

殺せんせー 小野坂昌也
渚 山本希望
烏間 鳥海浩輔
茅野 大地葉
磯貝 本橋大輔
岡野 内村史子
片岡 福原綾香
速水 優木かな
寺坂 小池謙一 ほか
And here's the translated list:
Korosensei: Masaya Onosaka
Nagisa: Nozomi Yamamoto
Karasuma: Kōsuke Toriumi
Kayano: Yō Taichi
Isogai: Daisuke Motohashi
Okano: Fumiko Uchimura
Kataoka: Ayaka Fukuhara
Hayami: Kana Yūki
Terasaka: Koike Kenichi
The voice actors I've bolded are from a company called VIMS, and for some of them, it'll be their first roles.

Here's another spoiler I have to mention after skimming a few pages in, this time having to do with part of the story:

Page 6 made my jaw drop; I thought "bitch" was already vulgar enough.

You don't even have to know Japanese to realize that AC is going to have quite a problem if it ever gets picked up by Viz or Funimation.

I found the cover page more provocative :-)

Did anyone else realized that the behavior change of that bitch in chapter 23 was a reference to the Cognitive Dissonance theory?
