Bonding Time is the thirty-second chapter of Assassination Classroom, closing out the fourth collected volume and folded into the anime's eleventh episode. Its cast keeps the transfer pupil Itona Horibe and his handler Shiro among the wider Class 3-E ensemble.
Summary
Standing as the thirty-second chapter, this installment carries the English title Bonding Time, rendered as Kizuna no Jikan in Japanese. It first appeared in the thirteenth issue for 2013, released in late February, and was afterward compiled into the fourth bound volume. The archived record keeps the chapter's publication data and appearance list rather than a written account of its events.
Key Events
No single featured figure is flagged for the chapter, but the appearance order opens on Itona Horibe and moves through Korosensei, the white-robed Shiro, the tutor Irina Jelavic, the agent Tadaomi Karasuma, and nearly the whole of Class 3-E, including Nagisa Shiota and Karma Akabane. With only the roster documented rather than the plot, the chapter's specific developments are not spelled out in this entry.
Notes
The chapter runs nineteen pages and links A Rough Battle This Time before it with Time to Play Ball after it. It rounds off the fourth volume of the compiled release, and its content was adapted into the eleventh anime episode, Transfer Student Time, 2nd Period. As with the rest of the run, the Japanese title finishes on the word for time, here tied to the theme of forged bonds.
