Plot
A strong creature that looks like a cross between an octopus and an alien is threatening the Earth. With his tremendous power, he shattered 70% of the moon, eternally transforming it into the shape of a Crescent moon. A bright yellow smiling-faced creature offers the entire world a deal: kill him within a year or he will demolish the planet. Regardless he also volunteers to be the homeroom teacher of class E, which was the worst class in the entire Kunugigaoka Junior high school.
If the kids in class E are successful in killing Koro-sensei, the Japanese government promised them a reward of 100 billion yen.
The students make every effort to eliminate him during class, but this has proven to be a near-impossible feat, due to his inhuman skills, including the ability to travel at Mach 20. In between the plot’s twists and turns, there’s a lot of mayhem. It’s a lot of fun to see. It’s also heart-warming to see Koro sensei’s bonding with his students. Despite the fact that the entire series is full of twists and turns as well as humor, the ending however is terribly sad when they have to part ways.
