Yusei Matsui’s Assassination Classroom manga has been temporarily removed from Horry County school libraries following a parent’s concerns about its content. The series is now under review, according to school officials.
The move comes after Jennifer Hannigan, a parent of a ninth grader at Socastee High School, raised objections upon discovering that her daughter had checked out the book from the school’s library.
Hannigan described the content as inappropriate for students, citing explicit scenes and violent imagery.
“I was shocked when I flipped through the pages,” Hannigan said. “Even if I didn’t have children, I wouldn’t want a child to read this book. There’s girls in lingerie hopping on top of men, pictures of guns, knives, and discussions about killing. It’s just too mature.”
Hannigan expressed concern over the graphic nature of the manga, claiming it contains depictions of violence, weapons, and other content she believes is inappropriate for its young audience. “They’re talking about different ways to kill the teacher, with guns, knives, and even potions,” she said.

Horry County Schools confirmed that the series is under a 30-day review, during which time it has been removed from circulation.
Hannigan urged other parents to be vigilant about the books their children are reading. “We’re exposing our kids to adult content far too soon,” she said. “We need to make sure what they’re reading aligns with our values.”
This incident follows a similar situation in Brevard County, Florida, where the school board recently banned another Japanese manga, Sasaki & Miyanociting concerns over its content, despite no state statute violations.
The decision came after a brief discussion at the board’s meeting on Aug 27, 2024, where the relationship depicted in the manga and its unconventional format were cited as reasons for its removal.
The final decision on whether Assassination Classroom will return to Horry County school libraries will be made following the completion of the review period.
