3.0

It's been awhile since I gave a Deadly Class volume lower than 4 stars.

This isn't horrible or anything. It's still filled with solid dialogue and great art, but it lacks any punch the series is known for. This time we have Marcus going on a personal journey in his head on who he is. It is revealed that, he is, a piece of shit. Then we move on to him and Maria returning to school and how everyone's perception of him has changed. Marcus has a plan and this time it's to strike back at the school.

This volume is light on plot progression for Marcus and co. Sure, Saya gets some much needed time but her chapter plays out like how I expected. I thought there was some funny moments but these chapters also felt like we were just going through the motions. While still solid, and fun, this is a bridge volume, and short, so hopefully the next arc picks up. A 3 out of 5.
