And to make matters worse, Itoshiki’s family wants him to get married. Forget the bride, here comes the gloom! The first translated work by Japan’s most savage satirist, Koji Kumeta! Includes special extras after the story! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #13,295 in Manga Comics & Graphic Novels | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.56 x 7.5 inches | | Edition | 0 | | Isbn 10 | 0345510232 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0345510235 | | Item Weight | 5.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Part Of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei | Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei | | Print Length | 176 pages | | Publication Date | May 19, 2009 | | Publisher | Del Rey | | Reading Age | 16 years and up | ## Images ![Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei 2: The Power of Negative Thinking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516HEuvjmNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bleak and Beautifully Illustrated Comedic Manga *by on Reviewed in the United States 21 September 2010* may have way too may cultural references for the average manga reader but Sayonara, Zetsybou-Sensei v2 continues its smart, sharp and morbidly funny story telling. the writing in clever and humor biting and very different than any other humor titles i have read. its a comedic slice of life from a passive aggressive manic depressive's point of view. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teacher of Darkness *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 26 April 2011* Volume 2 contains chapters 11 to 20 and plenty of bonus pages and translation notes.Again, this book is a 16+. You don't want your children to read this and learn how cruel life is and become suicidal... or something.Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei revolves around a teacher called Zetsubou-Sensei (real name Nozomu Itoshiki) and his class of unique students. Zetsubou-Sensei is one of the most depressed people you will ever read about. All he wants to do is die. His strange personality is somehow attractive to the females in his class such as a super positive girl, a hikikomori, a stalker, a foreigner, a quite girl, a perfectionist, a girl with a tail fetish, an illegal immigrant and more! Every single character (apart from the ordinary girl who says she isn't ordinary) is really strange!Basically, this manga is about a class full of strange people who talk about everyday things but delve deeper into the truth and make them seem really odd/bad/funny.Anyway, with most of the introductions out of the way (see volume 1) we start learning a bit more about why sensei wants to die so much. From the truth of the universe to report cards and unstable weather, just about anything can make someone sink into despair.We also meet some more new characters in this volume. The chairman who lacks presence, a manga loving girl who's addicted to coupling and sensei's family.To be able to fully understand Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei volume 2, you need a little bit of japanese culture knowledge although the translation note pages cover most of the references. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Even more absurd than the last. *by on Reviewed in the United States 11 January 2020* After spending the last 10 issues introducing most of the core cast, the second volume of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei mostly focuses on the plot. There were a few new characters introduced, but they were fairly minor ones so far, and they're dwarfed by the best premises for a despair rant this volume gave us. Some Highlights:The first chapter starts off exploring the Japanese tradition of hanging wishes on trees to having them granted, snowballing into the Despair class starting a new religion.Nozumu decides to give out non-report cards, choosing that ignorance is bliss. Going from one extreme to the other brought on some great comedic whiplash.Nozumu distresses over being overshadowed by...well everything.Nozumu's family invokes an old tradition to try and get him married off. A few students from class try twist it for their own ends.Nozumu gets the class involved in Criticism training, basically toughening them up by insulting them. Trust me, the reactions are priceless.Overall, I would prefer the story to be a bit more serialized instead of ending a subject in one issue. Hopefully that will come in in Volume 3. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/573867306-sayonara-zetsubou-sensei-2-the-power-of-negative-thinking](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/573867306-sayonara-zetsubou-sensei-2-the-power-of-negative-thinking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
