(Series Review)
The artwork in incredible, but not enough to make up for the deficiencies in plot, narrative, and characters. The story of a school that mysteriously vanishes should be compelling and lead to a grand reveal. Neither is strongly accomplished in Drifting Classroom.
A 6th grader who can perform an appendectomy? A child's imaginary creatures coming to life? Time-traveling telepathy?
It's as if J.J. Abrams created a manga, and that is not a good thing.

A flawed masterpiece. It could have used more chapters, some better handlings of some plotlines here and there... but it's really good when it's good and it has aged very well. The ending alone made it worth it imo.
I did not read that bonus tale tho...

Titulo: The Drifting Classroom (Volumen #3)
Autor: Kazuo Umezz
Año publicado: 1974
Motivo de lectura: -
Lectura / Relectura: Lectura
Fisico / Electronico: Electronico
Mi edicion: -
Idioma: Ingles
Puntuacion: 3/5
En esta tercera parte senti que Umezz reciclo los volumenes 1 y 2, como si los eventos volvieran a ocurrir con cambios muy minimos.
En general este fue un gran manga, pero me senti altamente desilucionada por el final.
Aun asi vuelvo a reconocer y a elevar el talento de Kazuo Umezz porque eso es indiscutible.

Wow.
That was hopeful but harrowing at the same time. Great post apocalyptic manga with elements of Lord of the Flies and other fiction works, with a focus on nightmares resulted from "the real world" and those manifested from the children's imagination. Sho deserves everything.
[Spoiler Alert]
Also love how Yu just goes home with his little tricycle like he just didn't survive a whole ass apocalypse.
