The Drifting Classroom: Perfect Edition, Vol. 1 by Kazuo Umezu (Umezz)

5.0

This had been sitting on the shelf for almost a year before I finally decided to read it. It's the largest manga I have and also from the '70s, so I think I'd been intimidated or worried it would be tough to get into. Anyway, I picked it up around 2PM yesterday and read 600 pages in basically one sitting. I just finished the last 200 after waking up today. I guess I had nothing to worry about! I knew the premise behind the story, but didn't realize how completely unhinged it was going to be and the sort of madness these elementary schoolers would go through. Just nonstop insanity until the end, or at least until it begins setting up the next volume.
