One day, 70% of the moon suddenly exploded and turned into a permanent crescent moon.
A mysterious creature claiming to be the “culprit” who caused it declared that he would “explode the Earth next March.”
He then says that he will be the homeroom teacher for 3rd grade class E at Kunugigaoka Junior High School.
The leaders of each country had no choice but to agree to the terms of this “super creature” with abilities that transcended humans that even the military could not match, and entrusted it to the students of Class 3 E of Kunugigaoka Junior High School.
Thus begins Nagisa and his friends’ ordinary but extraordinary assassination life.
