Art Comic is brimming with references and cameos, outsized personalities and shuddering nonsense - Robert Rauschenberg smashes a beer bottle, Francesca Woodman, a wine glass. Amidst it all, Thurber's twisting drawings and laugh-out-loud dialogue convey a complicated picture of an industry at the intersection of fantasy and reality.

Then, back at school, one of the students defects from the 3-E ranks for all the wrong reasons. How will they win him back before he inflicts irrevocable damage on them all...? For older teen audiences.

(W/A/CA) Yusei Matsui The students of 3-E turn a surplus of eggs to good use in pursuit of their usual goal.

If they build it, will they come...to the top of 3-E's remote mountaintop? For older teen audiences.

(W/A/CA) Yusei Matsui Lowly Class E and elite Class A compete for the most customers at their school festival booths. So far, the students of Class E are holding their own, despite their location on the mountaintop. Then a parade of familiar faces, some welcome and some...not so much...drop by with surprising consequences.

(W/A/CA) Yusei Matsui The class is divided: one half wants to carry on with the plan to assassinate Koro Sensei, while the other half wants to save him.

The students of 3-E draw on everything they've learned so far to battle for or against Koro Sensei's life! Then, to uphold their now unified goal, they need to infiltrate the International Space Station...
