Synopsis
Tokaku Azuma has just transferred to the elite Myoujou Academy, a private girls' boarding school. But there is a catch: she, along with 11 of her fellow students in Class Black, is an assassin taking part in the challenge to kill their sweet-natured classmate, Haru Ichinose. Whoever succeeds will be granted their deepest desire, no matter the difficulty or cost. However, each assassin only gets one chance; if they fail to kill her, they will be expelled. Despite the extraordinary reward, Tokaku decides to take a different course of action. Though Haru is her target, the young assassin soon finds herself drawn to the very girl she is supposed to kill. With the entire class out for Haru, Tokaku refuses to let her friend die, vowing to protect her from a growing bloodlust.

The final fight in this episode was so good and deceptive that it actually started making me question who was who. Even though they went for the safer route with the conclusion, I still really enjoyed how it all played out.
Even though this episode was mostly dialogue, I really enjoyed it. It served as a great setup for the finale by explaining more about the Black Class and its goals, while also giving deeper insight into Haru’s character. And that cliffhanger at the end really sets up the anticipation for the last episode.
Now that the anime is entering its final stages, man, I’m really surprised by this episode. I thought Episode 8 was going to be the peak in terms of action, but this episode completely outdid it. I was also really surprised by Haru’s movements in this episode because it really showcased that she’s not just someone who always needs saving.
What a way to end this arc! The episode was tense from start to finish, and the backstory played a big role in shaping the conclusion. The hype and tension really peaked in this episode, and it also perfectly sets up the events that will happen in the next episodes.
This is such a good episode, as it really delivers on the hype of the rivalry between Inukai and Tokaku. I’ve always wanted to see their rematch, and in this episode they really delivered with the action sequences. The cliffhanger at the end only made it more tense, building even more anticipation for what comes next.
This episode follows the same formula of the previous episodes and nothing really stands out. The idea of the game was fun though and it still entertained me especially on how they figured out the last number.
Best episode so far of the series. I really like the dynamics between Chitaru and Kirigaya, as it’s so complicated yet beautiful, and they really made it work. The way Kirigaya manipulates people was also really interesting, as she fills in for her physical limitations by relying on her intellect. And the execution of the episode’s ending was so emotional that it really left a lasting impact and made the whole confrontation feel both tragic and intense.
This episode really made me realize how almost every character in this anime never truly wanted to be an assassin. They were all just left with no choice. Seeing their backstories makes me root for them, even though they’re literally trying to kill the MC. Although the episode didn’t really do anything unique and still followed the same formula as the previous episodes, this one really stuck with me because I liked her character a lot.
I really like how the assassination played out this episode. It wasn’t your usual brute-force or fast-paced action, but instead a calculated and clever execution. I also liked the backstory, as it gave her character a lot more depth that we didn’t know about before. As always, the soundtrack was great, and a nice touch I noticed was that the ED song is different for each episode, usually matching the featured character of that episode.
Episode 3 finally starts the main plot, and honestly, I think it’s an awesome concept. The execution in this episode lacks a bit, though, but the animation itself is really cool.
The episode really amped up the tension as the plot progressed. The premise and the development in this episode were so great, and I could really feel the anticipation for what’s to come. It’s such an interesting concept, and I really hope they execute it beautifully. I also noticed that the ED song changes, which is a huge plus for me since I love listening to anime soundtracks.
The episode started out strong as it laid out its interesting plot. They introduced all the characters well and quickly, and uou can already see a bit of their personality. One thing that really stood out to me was the soundtrack. I really loved both the OP and ED as they were absolute bangers, and I knew they’d end up on my playlist.
I wasn't expecting such a manipulative personality, but it added a mysterious and agonizing edge to the episode. The combat scenes are incredibly fluid, and I absolutely loved the background animation.
Wow, what a thrilling episode! The twist in this situation is absolutely wild and unexpected. The plot is becoming quite intriguing, and the scene composition is fantastic.
The character's personality in this episode is absolutely wild! The scene composition and overall atmosphere are so interesting, and both the combat and the characters' abilities are fantastic.
Awesome episode! This one was packed with action scenes. The endurance shown was seriously impressive, the agility was great, and I absolutely love the fluidity of the combat animation.
Wow, what a shift in atmosphere! It makes the plot so much more interesting and unexpected. This time, a character's iconic personality is pretty confusing, and there’s definitely a stronger sense of angst in the air.
Great episode! This time, the character's signature personality is quite playful. The scenes continue to be highly detailed, and while the setting still holds plenty of tension, it feels a bit less violent this time around.
What a thrilling episode! The character's innocent personality is actually pretty terrifying. On the other hand, the scene composition is incredibly detailed, and I really love the distinctive outfit designs.
This time, what really stands out about the character is their calmness. I absolutely love the use of color in the scenes and how the palette shifts during combat, it’s amazing how they manage to convey the plot through these subtle nuances.
