There's a few more extra content for all "Assassination Classroom" fans to enjoy as a movie and a spinoff series are set to be released this month.

The feature film entitled "Assassination Classroom the Movie: 365 Days' Time" is a compilation film scheduled to be released on November 19 in Japan. According to the Fuji Creative Corporation website, the movie will re-tell the story about Koro Sensei, a powerful, mysterious octopus-like creature who destroyed the moon and becomes the teacher of the hopeless students of Kunogigaoka Junior High School Class 3-E.

Because of his promise to blow up the Earth next, his students became assassins in their quest to slay their teacher. They have one year to complete this assignment, united by this unusual bond and the fact that their lives are in danger. In the film, Koro Sensei's secrets and past will also be revealed.

Apart from the re-telling of the series, the film will also include a new original story, in which details have not been made available.

Simultaneously scheduled for November 19 release is a spinoff mini-series called "Koro Sensei Qest!," and will consist of 22 ten-minute episodes, Crunchyroll mentions. The new anime will feature the students as fantasy heroes learning magic and sword fighting to defeat Koro Sensei as the Demon King.

On a recent IGN interview with series creator Yusei Matsui, the author mentioned that he has no plans at this time to make a new manga series, whether it is a new "Assassination Classroom" story, or an entirely new project. He also mentioned that "the students' lives are just beginning" after the end of the story, and he is interested on the possibilities of writing side stories for the characters.

The series has proved immensely popular as it makes in to the New York Times Manga Best Seller List for a few weeks straight.
