The North American, predominately anime distributor, Media Blasters has confirmed the acquisition of the license to Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei. The first English subtitled DVD volume will ship on May 25th.

Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei follows Nozomu Itoshiki, who is depressed. Very depressed. He’s certifiably suicidal, but he’s also the beloved schoolteacher of a class of unique students, each charming in her own way: The stalker. The shut-in. The obsessive-compulsive. The girl who comes to class every day with strange bruises. And Kafuka, the most optimistic girl in the world, who knows that every cloud has a silver lining. For all of them, it’s a special time, when the right teacher can have a lasting positive effect on their lives. But is that teacher Itoshiki, a.k.a. Zetsubou-sensei, who just wants to find the perfect place to die?

The manga by Koji Kumeta is licensed by Del Rey Manga, with volume 6 coming in April of 2010.
