Issue Description

From the savage mind of Koji Kumeta–a twisted trip of deliciously wicked proportions

One of Zetsubou-sensei’s new students–a genius storyteller–can melt even her teacher’s black heart. Meanwhile, Chiri, the obsessive-compulsive girl who longs to marry Zetsubou-sensei, is thrilled when the morose young man actually invites her somewhere. Has Zetsubou-sensei asked Chiri out on a date, or is he planning a murder-suicide? Either option may involve flowers!

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.
