In the aftermath of a massive earthquake, a Japanese elementary school is transported into a hostile world where the students and teachers are besieged by terrifying creatures and beset by madness. Out of nowhere, an entire school vanishes, leaving nothing but a hole in the ground. While parents mourn and authorities investigate, the students and teachers find themselves not dead but stranded in a terrifying wasteland where they must fight to survive. Review: Holds Up Surprisingly Well - I didn't think I would like this because of the 'old' art (it's from the 70's) but it's actually very detailed and the story is riveting - I got through this massive and handsomely presented volume very quickly and immedeatly purchased the second tome. I can see why it's regarded as a classic. You get three of four volumes of a normal sized manga in this deluxe hardcover edition. It's a surreal horror about a junior high classroom, or rather the whole school transported to...the future? Another dimension? It all turns a bit 'Lord of the Flies'. The reveals and pacing could teach a lot to the often unnecessarily dragged out and poor value manga of today. There aren't that many horror manga around and this volume was ahead of anything I have read by modern day guys like Junji Ito or Gou Tanabe. It has its own kind of old faahioned art style where people look weird when they run but it grows on you and is very worked and detailed, especially for the era. Buy with confidence. Review: Amazing hardback - its a beautiful book hardback and all three together looks great on the shelve. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 198,490 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,801 in Horror Graphic Novels (Books) 2,402 in Crime & Mystery Graphic Novels 4,935 in Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,015 Reviews | ## Images ![The Drifting Classroom: Perfect Edition, Vol. 1: Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pZS9A32+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holds Up Surprisingly Well *by C***T on 13 March 2020* I didn't think I would like this because of the 'old' art (it's from the 70's) but it's actually very detailed and the story is riveting - I got through this massive and handsomely presented volume very quickly and immedeatly purchased the second tome.
