Well Denji’s always wanted to go to school since he never could plus he ended up bonding over a major character which generated one of the series most tragic and touching moments due to shared educational desires.

So it’s perfectly logical that after everything that’s happened, Denji finally decides to do something he always wanted too.

I mean yeah he's wanted to go to school all this time, but I can't help get the feeling that it's gonna turn out to be a bunch of students with powers and devolve into your typical tropes of a fighting school-genre.

Hopefully I'm wrong but we'll have to see.

Bring back spoiler[Reze] as a relevant character or riot!

It's Fujimoto, I don't think you need to worry about it becoming unoriginal run-of-the-mill shonen, lol.

I mean you have read this manga right? Whatever happens it will most likely not be typical.

With how much Fujimoto-sensei is usually inspired by movies, I'm starting to think it'll have a a weird teenage horror vibe.

Just how curt the description is, "will feature Denji going to school", is cracking me up. For any other series this would sound so mundane but I'm really excited to see how he spins it.

Looking forward to it but I used to think Denji was already developed to have a new arc.

Are you new to this manga or something? Because there's nothing about Fujimoto's style that can be described as "typical".

It would be funny if it changes genera like Medaka Box used to do.

Like, completely morphing in a romcom... just for everybody to die in a demonic explosion or some crap and then morph into a zombie manga and so on.

I think it’s a safe bet that any typical shonen school arcs will be violently subverted.
