According to reports, sadly, the popular "Assassination Classroom" manga series is coming to an end. Specifically, only five more chapters are left in the series. The final chapter will run in the 16th issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump," which will be released in March.

The most recent issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" teased several "Assassination Classroom" announcements for the 12th issue.

"The 12th issue will feature the manga's final mission climax and the conclusion of the fated battle. The 12th issue will also include a super important announcement for 'Assassination Classroom'."

As for what the special announcement could be, some fans believe that because of the structure of the anime, there will be a feature length "Assassination Classroom" animated film announced to cover the ending.

"I'd say there will be a movie. Last week it was hinted at a 'super important announcement' and at the rate they're going with a faster pace than season one. I think their intentition is to finish it off with a movie," said DontmesswithKarma in an ANN forum.

For those who are not familiar with the "Assassination Classroom" manga series, it is written by Yusei Matsui and has been adapted into two successful TV anime seasons, two live action films, and a 3DS video game.

Viz Media, who is releasing the manga series in North America, describes the story of "Assassination Classroom" as follows.

"A humorous and action-packed story about a class of misfits who are trying to kill their new teacher - an alien octopus with bizarre powers and super strength! The teacher has just destroyed the moon and is threatening to destroy the earth - unless his students can destroy him first. What makes things more complicated is that he's the best teacher they've ever had!"
