Let’s Start The Closing Meeting. ~ So Begins The Bullying Trial ~ - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - Ono-sensei

[Darroth]

It's good to know that Sato & Takagi are off Tojo's wrath list back then they at least tried to help

But how does Tojo know that? She wasn't there.

 

[19801980]

Kitami é um gênio. A forma como ele controla e manipula as peças é de outro nível, um protagonista insano, parabéns. Para aquele idiota do Oto, divirta-se, solteiro e preso por agressão 🤣🤣🤣

 

[19801980]

Mas como Tojo sabe disso? Ela não estava lá.

A ironia é que ela praticamente reúne todo mundo, mas não sabe quase nada sobre os detalhes 🤣🤣🤣

 

[youdontmatter308]

I think that's the point of the story there are some people that are redeemable and take responsibilities for their actions and then you have people who are completely irredeemable and refuse to take responsibility for their actions

And that happens a lot in real life

But reality isn’t as black and white as much as these mangas make it seem. Ik it’s some bullies out there that’s purely evil but most stories does this thing where the whole class joins in on the evil which is super rare

 

[youdontmatter308]

I think she's bitter that he ran away, and also perhaps she's thinking that she wouldn't have been bullied as much if not for his attempts to help her early on, but it also seems like, judging by the page 34, part of the reason why she is doing this is to enact revenge on his behalf, a twisted reward of sorts, to make him see his bullies get punished

Honestly her saying “he should want to see this” makes me believe either she’s not going to punish him as a harshly as the others or he has done some slimy shit he can’t recall or an action that made her situation worse. I want to say he’s in on it for my last theory but I doubt it and I feel like she’s taking revenge on his behalf while letting him get a front row seat

 

[pinkfountain]

Welp, figured Takami would have been dragged forward regardless of what he tried to fix it.

I don't believe she has the same punishment for him as the rest of the class, but its a little unfair how she's treating him.

I get you wanting revenge on the rest of the class, but surely you are at least old enough to look at it a bit objectively. What if he had killed himself instead? You'd be in the exact same position except now you don't have someone to blame for "abandoning" you.

Based on what she says in this chapter, doesn't she only want Takami to witness everything? It doesn't seem like she plans on punishing him

Edit: I hadn't seen the comment above mine had already said this 😅

That's mostly my read.

I would argue that Himari does hold Takami responsible for abandoning her, as her younger self would have seen it. He just up and disappeared, with only dickwad-sensei announcing it was a transfer situation. But he also tried to help her, so I can't imagine she holds him to the same extent & kind of culpability that she clearly holds for the majority of the rest of the class. But he also ignored her or rebuffed her at times before he was pulled out of school--it was to protect her, yes, but that still would read like him shunning her, in a way, making her feel more alone.
It would depend on how much she herself has matured, and how her view of things has changed, and whether she's come to be more understanding of the context and limitations Kitami had forced on him, to the extent that he couldn't actually do much to change their circumstances by the time he was pulled and moved.

I would be very surprised if Himari goes out of her way to do something heinous to him, and I do think she genuinely wants to "avenge" Kitami in some respect. My worry, though, is that Kitami's very straight & narrow, "upright"ness will see him object to anything particularly violent or destructive that Himari has planned, which could turn her against him for 'getting in her way', as it were.

 

[Ashabel]

I know people think Furokawa is "switching sides", but her reactions in the past chapters combined with her seeming need to document everything make me think she's much closer to the centre of this than it seems. Right now I won't be surprised if she's the actual instigator who uses her presence in the chat to throw off suspicion. It's mostly a guess though.

 

[cybeast21]

Why does people always shows that "they're recording" like that bruh

(Although this time it's intentional as a bait ig).

Kinda guessing the girl wanted class prez to stay to be the witness, or sth? As in, not based on hate like she has to the other classmates

 

[MikaJinya]

That dumb teacher are framed for good. But It's not over yet, bullies. Something gonna be more messy and wild.

 

[jrocker]

I wonder what her plan with the MC is going to be. He did leave her for his own sake which broke her, but he also was the one who fought for so long to help her that he was also bullied.

I wonder if her keeping him there is both his punishment and reward. He gets rewarded by seeing those who bullied him punished, but is punished by being put in the exact same situation and is probably going to be pushed to see if he will protect them or if she is special.

 

[youkame]

I hope this isn't the end for Ono. Sensei deserves way worse for the adult perpetrator.

Spoiler: spoilers

Oh you'll see him soon(er) enough

 

[Vikingix]

Himari is Tojo's first name.

Mixed the names, it was Kitami of course.

 

[DrarRV]

Justice for kitami. But i guess he indirectly cause tojo to suffer because a jealous woman is a monster..

 

[NerimaShinjuku]

I love this series but this art is ridiculous

 

[master-34]

so what happens to Ono by the end

 

[14Darius28]

I like these stories but my problem with it is that most of the cast are comically evil or just purely good. The three people who helped her tried their best and even one of them got bullied hard but he still has to do this shit. While everyone else is just pure demons who don’t gaf until they’re scared, no morally grays

Honestly she's only still making him go through all of this because he can't really be blamed for it. The boy stood up for her until he started getting bullied for it. So his torture is being witness to it all. What's the internet or even his friends going to say. Damn the elementary school kid wasn't strong enough to withstand the bullying so he dropped out. Oh he didn't stick with her through the full bullying. Sure he might not want people to know he abandoned a friend but it's not like he was on the outside of the bullying and stopped helping when it got convinient. He got bullied too. That boy could literally ignore everything from this point on.

I'm guessing that Takami is the perpetrator/accomplice of this whole game, and the two of them are putting on a show to trick their classmates. Tojo is keeping him around under the guise of "I have something special planned for the one who ran away" when actually he's her instrument for moving the other students the way she wants them to move behind the scenes. Remember, he was the one who arranged the whole thing with sensei. Tojo and Takami probably arranged this together with him executing her plans.

 

[BegoneThoth]

A key aspect of these revenge stories is that the revenge has to be karmic in someway. For example, this Reddit thread about Maria no Danzai delves into it a bit.
The ML's "sin" is cowardice; He turned away from what was happening. The way the avatar spoke of him, his "punishment" would be going through all of this, being forced to confront what he ignored. Whether a reader agrees or not is up to the author's ability. He did also mention how he switched from being a "hero of justice" type to just trying to fit in upon graduation.
Don't you think?

[Sonaldo]

Only 7 chapters and they alreadu ruined the teachers life ? this is advancing very fast

Bro there's like 10+ students. There's still a long way to go
