Retraction Reviews: The Drifting Classroom
OK, perhaps I was a bit hasty. Once the setup is out of the way, The Drifting Classroom is TOTALLY AWESOME.
(In my defense, I still think the first volume would have been improved if all the screaming had been saved until after the school was mysteriously transported into the far future and everything seriously started going to hell rather than wasted on mundane matters like Mom throwing out your favorite marbles. Once you're trapped in a barren wasteland with no communication with civilization and all the grown-ups start trying to kill you, screaming about everything suddenly becomes TOTALLY APPROPRIATE.)
