Class 3-E is the bottom of the barrel at Kunugigaoka Junior High, a group of outcasts and misfits relegated to a crumbling building on the edge of campus. But this year, their curriculum has taken a dark, high-stakes turn. Their new teacher is a tentacled, super-powered creature who destroyed the moon and is now threatening to do the same to Earth. The catch? He has decided to teach these students for one year before he finishes the job. The government has offered a massive bounty to the student who can successfully assassinate him, turning every school day into a tactical mission. From the hot-headed Karma to the chemistry-whiz Okuda and the baseball-star-turned-failure Sugino, these kids have to sharpen their skills and their blades if they want to save the planet. But as they plot his demise, they realize their target might just be the best mentor they have ever had. It is a hilarious, heart-wrenching, and explosive ride that balances supernatural combat with the raw reality of growing up. Can these underdogs pull off the impossible, or will their teacher teach them a lesson they never expected?
