Very good overall quality. Please keep in mind that this manga is in Japanese and that there may be some slight yellowing due to the age of the paper. Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have.

Overall Rating: 9/10
A story starting off with a homeroom teacher, Itoshiki, trying to hang himself off a sakura tree branch. Enter the most positive girl in the world, Kafuka, telling him that it is unthinkable to hang yourself as such a day and nicknames him the Pink Professor. Despaired that he couldn't hang himself, Itoshiki Sensei arrives to school and finds that the unusual student Kafuka is one of his students, but his homeroom class is filled with unique and peculiar students with completely different personalities and life styles.
The simple line work allows the readers to completely submerge themselves in the little anecdotes. Each chapter is an entity of its own, referencing modern day to day events, life styles and even literature works. The series even goes to lengths to evoke different Japanese periods even though written in a modern era. One small details in SZS that I loved was the lack of exaggeration in facial characteristics and story from the characters, except for Mr. Despair. The composure and the more human and less anime stereotype was pleasant and perfectly executed even in the artwork.
Do I recommend it?
