Issue Description

Zetsubou-sensei and the students go on several unusual class trips, including an archaeological expedition, the Museum of Unnatural History, and Daisan Sentaku City–the city of the inexplicable third alternative. You know, like, when you're trying to decide whether to get a puppy or a kitten...and you end up with a crocodile? The students also practice selling themselves (legally), getting over their self-entitlement, the art of "soft landings"–a.k.a. breaking bad news gently.

Volume Description

Originally published in Japan as Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei (literally meaning 'Good-bye, Mr Despair). The title seems to pay homage to Good-bye, Mr Chips the 1934 novel about a loved & respected teacher. Del Rey manga added the subtitle The Power of Negative Thinking to they could preserve the original Japanese title, emphasise the pessimistic view of the lead character (Itoshiki Sensei), and to play on the title of the 1952 self-help book, the Power of Positive Thinking.
