But the author did explore the ideas of forgiveness with Yumi and Shiori. Yumi's genuine remorse made her the only bully that got to move on to a better path.Could've been interesting, but ended up just being an indulgent, wish-fulfilling screed about revenge. Suzuki's total ruination and death show that the author just wanted to write a story where the villain gets abused and destroyed. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, but it undercuts the ideas of forgiveness, growth, and moving on when the story's real main conflict is resolved in that way.
It can explore those things all it wants, but the main plot reveals what the author is really saying. And what he says with the main plot is very simplistic: bullies are bad people who deserve bad things.But the author did explore the ideas of forgiveness with Yumi and Shiori.

Meanwhile Suzuki still got his comeuppance because in the end he never learned anything, still saw his daughter as his "pet" who thought that she would eventually come back to him for money and not because he was trying to be a better person or father figurw for her
Batmanthe ending was very cathartic. sensei's becoming a bit of a vigilante
Sounds to me like the author successfully explored and delivered his message in a satisfying way in a concise manner without dragging it out like so many other revenge manga. So I don't know what your issue is other than the bog standard criticism of "wanting more". That's like saying John Wick sucked because the villains in the movie should have been more 'multifaceted'.It can explore those things all it wants, but the main plot reveals what the author is really saying.

Not every character in fiction needs to be presented with a multifaceted human personality. But to make the main villain have as little depth as Suzuki diminishes the story's capacity to deliver any greater ideas.
for god knows reason i stumble upon this manga on yt. made me remember all those things in schools. elem-mid-high, although it didnt go as far as the manga portrayed, yes what i experienced merely verbal abuse, but it still leaves scars to this date, turned me into barely sociable person, sometimes having trouble to breath whenever the anxiety came, occasionally mild self-disappear thoughtsI felt like I had PTSD reading this, I got halve way through it and didnt know if I could finish it but pushed through.
Having been bullied for all my secondary school life, its horrible to think that I can never forget what they did to me, but it was forgotten the moment they were done.
wdym, sensei got his revenge, main bully died like a bitch, his daughter got her smile restored and even her friend reflected and tried to do better.A bit of unsatisfying ending ngl.
yes? we don't wanted boring real life solutions, manga must be over the top.Could've been interesting, but ended up just being an indulgent, wish-fulfilling screed about revenge.
