Nozomu Itoshiki is depressed. Very depressed. He’s certifiably suicidal, but he’s also the beloved schoolteacher of a class of unique students, each charming in her own way: The stalker. The shut-in. The obsessive-compulsive. The girl who comes to class every day with strange bruises. And Kafuka, the most optimistic girl in the world, who knows that every cloud has a silver lining. For all of them, it’s a special time, when the right teacher can have a lasting positive effect on their lives. But is that teacher Itoshiki, a.k.a. Zetsubou-sensei, who just wants to find the perfect place to die?

this chapter introduces a new recurring "character", AAA, a reference to the Japanese pop group formed in 2005. Specifically to a case of graffiti posted online by member Itou Chiaki that the group got into a bit of trouble for. In the manga it appears simply as three As, like on the fence of the field here but more commonly like on the stairs behind Ookusa here (don't worry, there's plenty more in this chapter) there's also 1 Tsunetsuki, 1 pantyshot, 3 Uropen, 0 Amakudari-sama, 1 Miss Sakurai Yoshiko, 1 stork and baby, 1 stick dog, 1 black tear, 0 Mr. Asou Tarou, 2 Mr. Abe Shinzou, 0 eye of darkness, and 11 AAA
thanks op. I've really been detuning my effort into things since some plans fell through I guess i've been detuning my anime watching too. I could be watching a lot more but I detune myself by only watching late at night in bed and I end up falling asleep too quickly
