What happens when an elementary school gets isekai-ed to a whole new and dangerous world?
I have heard so so much about this book. People saying how horrific it was, people telling it was great horror, and others. So for this Halloween, before it is over cries I wanted to give at least the first volume a shot. See if I would like it.
I wasn’t at first sure about the art, that is what made me struggle a bit, but after 2 chapters I started to love the style. It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t always pretty, but for some reason I liked it.
In this one it is seemingly a normal day for Sho, an elementary school boy. Well, with the exception of a big argument with his mom, which will haunt him for a long time after. He is late to school and hurries to get there. I think if he had known what was about to happen that he would have gone for his lunch money, just like his best friend did. But instead he made it in time, and just a bit after school starts… there is an earthquake and at first the kids and teachers think it is all OK, but then things hit the fan, and we see that the school is somewhere in a new world. With nothing around them but desert sand (or whatever that stuff is).
And so chaos happens. I was a bit shocked with how the teachers handled the kids. Sure, I can imagine that they may have been trampled (like that one teacher), but hitting kids? Threatening them with broken glass? Um, no. That is just bad in my book. Very bad. Sure, it helped… but come on.
I felt so sorry for the kids. These are elementary kids so they are around 6/7-12 years I am guessing. You could see them being scared, afraid, wanting their moms and dads. I was actually tearing up for these little ones. Not knowing if they ever would come home, if they would stay alive, if they ever see their moms/dads again.
I did like how the chapters were written. Nothing was rushed. We see how chaos starts, how teachers try to fix things, how Sho was told to lie and how the teachers took that over (though he wasn’t even far from the truth in some parts), and then things went truly south (OMG at that last panel on the 4th chapter, NOPE cringes).
All in all, this was pretty OK to read. A bit gruesome at times but I think the true gruesomeness is still to come. shivers Also I still have so many questions. What happened to the school? Why was it teleported there? Will the kids survive? Will they come home? What will happen next? I hope we get some answers in the next volume.

The Drifting Classroom by Kazuo Umezu is a horror manga from the 70's about an entire elementary school (with the students, staff, and teachers included) disappearing. When parents and the police come to investigate a giant explosion at the elementary school, all they find is a giant gaping hole in the ground where the school used to be. Meanwhile, the students, staff, teachers, and school are all transported somewhere, but where? The main character Sho, a 6th grader, must fight to survive alongside his friends. All hell starts to break lose, will Sho and his friends survive? Will he ever make his way back to his family?
This manga had so much going on and most of it was unpredictable. I don't want to say too much because spoiling it would ruin part of the story. I will say that all hell starts to break lose by the time the end of the first volume comes along. I'm so excited about future reveals.
The Drifting Classroom is delightfully creepy and I would suggest volume 1 to all my horror comic/manga friends. I did take issue with how long the "story" took to start, other than that I liked everything else about this manga. I'm giving this 4.5 stars out of 5.

A horror story which has not become scary yet...
This is a story about an entire elementary school which has disappeared from its place leaving a big piece of land instead.
The story is so good we only care so far about the school itself, phones are out, tv is out, radio is out.
It also seems that they can't leave the school or they will drop dead.
The last scene where the girl gets her hand skewered will be explained next issue but i can't imagine who would do that.

This incredible horror book about a school of children who vanish into thin air is disturbing, gruesome, and entertaining from page one to the finish. Can’t wait to read Vol 2

Honestly I was hoping it would be better. The concept is great and they could have done a lot more with it really on and been a bit more realistic, but instead immediately after the school disappeared, they wrote that the adults lost their freaking minds and tried to kill a couple students and they fought for food even though they had only been there for a few hours. Less than 24 hours had passed and the adult were starting to go crazy. and this was a school with hundreds of kids from 1st to 6th grade! They were babies! There's no way they could expect the kids to not freak out and be scared.
