Assassination Classroom or Ansatsu Kyōshitsu is a science fiction comedy manga series created by Yusei Matsui. It has two seasons and a movie, animated by Lerche. The fandom is mid-sized and is active on Tumblr, Pinterest, and AO3.
Canon Overview
At the prestigious private school Kunugigaoka Junior High School, grades are everything. Those who do poorly enough in school will be sent to E-Class, also nicknamed the End Class, a class of students who are ostracized by the rest of the school as failures and rejects that will never get anywhere in life. Shiota Nagisa is one such student relegated to E-class, but his life and the lives of his classmates are changed when the moon is partially obliterated and they are assigned to assassinate the culprit before he can blow up the rest of the moon. The culprit, dubbed Koro-sensei by Kayano Kaede, is to be their homeroom teacher while they attempt to kill them. With 10,000,000 yen on the line, E-Class has to find a way to kill their teacher before time runs out.
