Chapters of the manga series Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei (さよなら 絶望先生, Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei) written by Kōji Kumeta were serialized in the Japanese manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine, published by Kodansha, from 2005 to 2012 (except for chapter 259, guest-published in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday). It is a comedy about a teacher who takes all aspects of life, word and culture in the most negative light possible. It satirizes politics, media, and Japanese society. In 2007, the manga received the thirty-first Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category.[1]

Chapter 268

Chapter 268, published in July 2011 and titled "Pei no Kakujū" (ペイの拡充), discusses real-world pay-to-work jobs, then imagines a world where sellers pay money to buyers. After its magazine publication, due to similarities to the Doraemon story "A World Without Money" (お金のいらない世界), chapter 268 was left out of the collected tankōbon.[53]

Kumeta explains the incident in volume 27: after receiving reader complaints, Kumeta voluntarily contacted Shogakukan's Doraemon department, who concluded that the similarities were unintentional. Despite receiving clearance, Kumeta still held back chapter 268 due to suspecting himself of subconscious plagiarism, citing how the thought experiments of both stories (even parts editorially suppressed from Kumeta's draft) arrive at the same conclusions, using the same wording.
