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?
And that's all for today and all for this volume. What a great chapter to end on. Where do you fall on a spectrum from Tane to Chiri? Were/are you the person who ended up dealing with your sibling's messes?
this chapter introduces a new recurring character, 友愛! It's also a text based one, but means "friendship" in english. You can see it on the sake bottle here . There's also 3 Tsunetsuki, 1? pantyshot, 4 Uropen, 0 Amakudari-sama, 1 Miss Sakurai Yoshiko, 1 stork and baby, 3 stick dog, 2 black tear, 1 Mr. Asou Tarou, 1 Mr. Abe Shinzou, 1 eye of darkness, 1 AAA, 2 Kiyohiko, 1 god sticker, 1 Nyannyan, 2 funny sticker, 1 "The manga world shall be at peace." 1 Sento-kun, 1 Sanosuke, 1 Mr. Ishiba Shigeru, 2 Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, 2 文化庁, 1 something with various parts removed, 0 Sakai Noriko, and 1 友愛. A tangential reference to Shaft. God sticker actually appears in its full glory this time. For whatever reason despite ignoring most non-Kaere pantyshots, a Kitsu Tane pantyshot is counted this time - I guess because there's no Kaere one to begin with. One stick dog doesn't have his ass facing you. Pic related is a complete glossary of all 81 god stickers that appears at the end of this volume.
