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?

It's a decent ending, fits the story... But i'm still kinda disappointed Kitami really died in the end.

He kinda had to. He was the shadow behind Himari's light, and used violence and vengeance to fuel his revenge on all of their classmates in Himari's name. But he turned into the thing he hated as a result; if he'd lived, he would've been locked up like their sensei was, which wouldn't grant him true release from both his past and who he'd become.
Him dying was both absolving him of his own sins, while giving him a clean way out. That he did it whilst protecting Himari is even better, because it closed the book on his original wish: to protect Himari. Through his death he cleanses himself, and becomes a symbol through which Himari can fully take ownership of her own life while at the same time tethering the rest of the class to her future. Plus, Himari could remain the pure part of the duo, who could shine and be happy and become the best version of any of them, which is all Kitami really wanted (hence his parting words to her that she recounts in the interview here).

Thus, Kitami surviving means that he doesn't get his image washed clean by his act of sacrifice to save Himari, and all of his revenge comes to light which would hurt Himari by association, as well.

Well good on Tojo being able to confront them (except for 1 who is still in a coma) & became their Boogeyman equipped with a nuke. Even though Kitami went too far with his revenge, he managed to prepare enough evidence for Tojo to use. Gotta say that while the ending is decent, overall I prefer the author's & artist's previous work a bit more. The revenge aspect in their other work felt more appropriate than this one. Sure Ono sensei got what he deserved & same with Tsuda but everyone else didn't. Well I do hope they pump out another title in the not so distant so thanks for translating this story to completion @n1.the.noob.

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.

In a really messed up way everyone kind of lost in the end. The bullies will spend the rest of their lives in constant fear that their pasts could be exposed at any moment, but at the same time no matter how much happiness she finds and how far she goes in life the bullies will still live eternally rent free in her head.

Wait so what happened to the girl that was pushed off the roof? I mean it was a good ending since they all fear the truth to be exposed and ruin their lives. It was satisfying to see the bully become a mom and see her daughter become a bully just like her.
Judging from the last time we saw her she fell into a "deep sleep" and it's a great "What if's" for her survival in the timeskip (if she do woke up she'll have to be the 'scapegoat for the rest of the alumni due to her's intentive part of recording all of their misdeeds)

And it's a 50:50 chances that Miyu is either a bully like her mom or she's the victim and trying to defend herself hence the "pushing" allegation, tho' i realized how much of a full circle this kind of things are (Like Mother, Like Daughter)
