A bittersweet, but logical ending. I must say that Himari and Shinya's ways of overcoming their pasts as bullied victims was interesting with one using it as a drive for her idol career while the other feeling that he didn't moved on which can explain why he atoned in the end by sacrificing his life for someone he cared about.

It's also funny that everyone will live rent free in each other's minds since the class are aware that their pasts will be never erased and Himari using her spite towards her former tormentors as a way to never let them forget their misdeeds.

Honestly, I'd say the ending is among the best that the duo Kimizuka/Hioka did IMO. The manga was entertaining and had cool twists, so it was a fun read.

Thanks for translating the entire manga, n1 (y)

well, that certainly was an ending
I guess the only life that got completely ruined is sensei's
or maybe also the freckles girl because she's a vegetable now or something like that?

Tbh, i'm actually quite like this ending more

Tojo literally drop the bombshell to the rest of the classmates that she could and will release the file anytime in their life and she's perfectly live the best of the worlds for the bully victim alike (becoming successful than her tormentors and still having the red tape courtesy of a certain Furukawa, i wonder if she's still vegetable or finally expired)

Their livelihood are pretty much at her mercy and they have to keep looking at their back for the rest of their lives (living in a constant paranoia are no bueno for your well being)

@n1.the.noob i wonder if you'll eventually pick another work the author made since the original uploader left it hanging?
Eh-hem... We just got busy with other titles, but we will not drop that series. Tell you what, we'll change our priorities just this once so that we can finish that volume once and for all.

If she says they'll live in fear for the rest of their lives, she's saying that she'll never actually publish the videos because if she did, they'd no longer be in fear of the videos being published. If they understood that, they'd have no reason to be afraid.
Not quite so, they fear no only on the videos being published, but also in what comes next, ever more so in Japan: the one with the restaurant, congratulations someone just burned it to ashes, good thing he had it insured, he can open it again, just to be burned down again everytime with the same message -You deserve this, you bully piece of shit!- Until no one wants to insure the restaurant because "insurance fraud". Kanzaki who now has a child could lose not only her work but also any kind of opportunity to get a new one, her child who didn't even exist at the time the bullying happened now gets bullied just because she's the daughter of a former bully. And so on and so on

This is actually the best ending Himari could get. She got decisive leverage over them all and everyone had to live on fear that she might be one bad day away or them collectively one screw up away from screwing all of their lives. I don't believe in forgiveness, not when what you did affect the victim for the rest of their lives, unless you gained constant reminder of what you've done for the rest of your lives. Himari did not let anyone forget as long as she was still on screen.

really lame ass ending. author wanted to have their cake and eat it too, revenge is bad my ass
No, Himari did have her revenge. It's a bit similar to that scenario where a snail kept chasing you for the rest of your lives, except you couldn't prepare any countermeasure. You just stuck fearing for your life and even in your happiest moment, you would receive a reminder that everything could be over tomorrow. She could ruin all of their lives, and she wouldnt even need a reason. Who knows, maybe she had a bad day so she decided to release the files? Her deep hate for what they put her through is enough reason to destroy everyone's life on a whim, after all.
