The first 2017 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is revealing on Monday that the Koro Teacher Quest! anime series will start streaming on December 23. This adaptation of Jō Aoto and Kizuku Watanabe's Koro-sensei Q! (Koro Teacher Quest!) manga will run on the dTV, UULA, and other services.
Watanabe and Aoto began the Koro-sensei Q! manga, which is a spinoff of Yūsei Matsui's Assassination Classroom manga, in Shueisha's Saikyō Jump magazine in October 2015. In Koro-sensei Q!, Koro-sensei is a demon king in a world of swords and sorcery. Shueisha published the manga's first compiled volume on July 4.
An anime based on the Koro Teacher Quest! manga (pictured at left) is already screening with the Ansatsu Kyōshitsu: 365-Nichi no Jikan (Assassination Classroom The Movie: 365 Days) anime compilation film. The films opened in Japan in November.
The new anime series of Koro Teacher Quest! will serve as a continuation to the anime film short now in theaters. Weekly Shonen Jump will reveal new information about the series in future issues.
Fuji Creative's English website had previously listed the Koro Teacher Quest! anime with 12 10-minute episodes.
The first 22-episode television anime series based on the Assassination Classroom manga premiered in Japan in January 2015, and the second season premiered in January 2016 and ended in July. The manga ended in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in March.
The original manga also inspired two live-action films, the second of which premiered in Japan on March 25.
