Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Jo: Zetsubou Shoujo Senshuu

Nozomu Itoshiki sees disaster in almost everything, but his new class is no refuge from the world’s absurdities. The relentlessly optimistic Kafuka meets his despair with interpretations that can be even more unsettling than his own.

His encounters with withdrawn Kiri, bandaged Abiru, outspoken Kaere, exacting Chiri and exuberant Maria expose a different difficulty at every turn. Trying to understand his pupils only gives this teacher more reasons to declare himself hopeless.
