Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei #5 - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Volume 5

Del Rey Edition Release Date: January 26, 2010

Zetsubou-sensei has won a trip to a hot spring, but when he finds several of his students there in the bubbling pools, he launches into a tirade about the evils of detoxing. To Zetsubou-sensei, detoxing is a metaphor for sanitizing the world of the very complexities and idiosyncrasies that define it.
