After a storied run in Weekly Shounen Jump! Magazine, it was announced in Shounen Jump!’s issue #12 that Yusei Matsui’s Assassination Classroom manga is almost at its end, as the series will be ending in the magazine’s issue #16, which will be shipping out next month.

The manga’s ending coincides with Japan’s graduation season, which is usually being done in March. The same issue of Shounen Jump is also announcing that they are starting a “Graduation Countdown” for the manga, and will also feature an illustration by Yusei Matsui, which comments on the manga’s ending.

Previously, issue #11 of Weekly Shounen Jump! Magazine announced that the series is headed to the “conclusion of the fated battle.” So, will Class E finally assassinate Koro-sensei and save the Earth? I guess we will find out in March.
