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: O sensacional Kazuo Umezz - Kazuo Umezz é um dos pais dos mangás de terror, nesse titulo você entende a razão. A história começa muito bom, mas próximo do fim do volume, você vai vendo a famosa "barriga" aparecer. Edição muito boa, e arte espetacular, vale muito. ## Features - Hardcover - Language: English - Author: Umezz, Kazuo - Number of Pages: 744 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #100,867 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #412 in Horror Manga #450 in Science Fiction Manga #3,498 in Comics & Graphic Novels for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 858 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.

A história começa muito bom, mas próximo do fim do volume, você vai vendo a famosa "barriga" aparecer. Edição muito boa, e arte espetacular, vale muito. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful. *by B***G on 3 October 2021* Been a fan of Junji Ito's work for a long time, and he apparently read these books when he was younger, and gathered inspiration from them. And while it's not as graphic as Ito's, it's still good. Artistically, it's cute in a way, old school anime style. I think the story is very interesting. It's an older book, but I still love it. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Drifting Classroom: Perfect Edition, Vol. 1 (1) - The Drifting Classroom: Perfect Edition, Vol. 2 (2) - The Drifting Classroom: Perfect Edition, Vol. 3 (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.co.uk/products/289620807-the-drifting-classroom-perfect-edition-vol-1-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/289620807-the-drifting-classroom-perfect-edition-vol-1-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
