Volume 8

Time for an Opportunity (チャンスの時間) is the eighth volume of the Assassination Classroom manga.

Preface
''Ever caught yourself screaming, "I could just kill that teacher"? What would it take to justify such antisocial behavior and weeks of detention? Especially if he's the best teacher you've ever had? Giving you an "F" on a quiz? Mispronouncing your name during roll call...again? How about blowing up the moon and threatening to do the same to Mother Earth—unless you take him out first?! Plus a reward of a cool 100 million from the Ministry of Defense! Okay, now that you're committed... How are you going to pull this off? What does your pathetic class of misfits have in their arsenal to combat Teach's alien technology, bizarre powers and...tentacles?! ''

Worse, it turns out the mastermind behind the attack is someone they know…

Author's Comment
''I created a business card for the first time in my life because I've had opportunities to meet more people recently. I enjoy handing the cards out to my old friends saying "Sorry for the super-belated introduction..." It's a very ordinary business card, so I can give it to anyone in any situation. Manga artists don't often get the chance to take part in social customs like this so I really enjoy this exchange of business card. My dream is to eat lunch ina park in the Marunouchi area with a handcrafted employee ID hanging from my neck''
