Even if people doubt that Takei didn't die, the body can't really go without water for like 3-4 days so I find it hard to believe he's still alive but then again this story is fiction. Well now they know that they have to follow suit no matter what. The accomplice makes me suspect Kitami but we'll see if it is another classmate like the 2 that never participated in the bullying. Thanks for the translations.

Tied up and dying of thirst while your body is also starving seems like a good way to show the class how far "Tojo" is willing to go. His death was almost too peaceful considering how violent he was, but eating in front of him was a good touch.

This is almost certainly one of the classmates doing this and not her, although she might be an accomplice providing the resources?

The best kind of revenge is living a better life than your tormentors and Tojo showed that to Kanzaki so well.

Not only the third main revenge is very chilling, but most of the students involved with the bullying are real turncoats which is unfortunately a realistic move in real life.
it is one part that strikes me as rather realistic. Most people are going to be self-interested most of the time, and I'd argue that anyone who'd either actively choose to engage in bullying, or is "easily swept up" in the energy of abusing an "outsider", is exactly the sort of person who'd always be looking out for Number One.

Because even those who were "swept up in" the abuse and went along with the ringleaders, were doing it because it meant they weren't being targeted. They cared more about their comfort than they did Tojo's well-being, and so now that the tables have turned and apparently one of them has died (and not easily; starvation is a bad way to go, especially outside of a "survival situation"), them turning on one another like this is actually quite expected.
It's all to save themselves, before anything or anyone else.

Japanese bullying it’s just child on on child torture because wtf do you mean you stopped a girl from eating lunch on multiple days? And this curly haired girl might be the worse character, wasn’t she dickriding one of the bullies and now is doing the same for Tojo while acting blameless and the Mc has to endure? Well I seen a spoiler that I hope isn’t true so ima just wait this out but I’m lowkey happy that takei “died”

What makes you believe that the one behind the avatar is Tojo's mother? I'm curious.
i don't think it's her mother, i mean that there wouldn't be any other characters we've seen who could know about the bullying in such detail. it would be strange for the person behind her avatar to be some new character only introduced in the latter half of the story

I still think the model bitch get off to easily, so, it´s obvious it´s not over for her
Well considering someone was just killed through starvation/dehydration, yeah I think she got off easy. 😆



That being said, I think she's getting a special punishment like the ML. The ML is being forced to watch all of this happen (because he averted his gaze in the past). The model is self-destructing: First she showed everyone, including her crush, that she's slutty. Now she's simultaneously seeing Tojo's success at her platform (which she explicitly recognized) while also damaging her own (by freaking out).
🧐

If the accomplice was the ML, why would he have drawn attention to there being a third-party? The accomplice seems to be a high-school kid judging by when they attacked the snitch. Or a smaller woman.
I'm fond of, if solely because it's a funny dark-horse, that it's someone at the agency. Maybe one or more of her idol partners.
:coffee:

Maybe I'm misremembering the layout of these meetings but isn't it supposed to give a mission and award points? I could understand the snitch's punishment isn't directly related to the meetings, it's said that it's due to snitching not bullying, but does that mean this meeting was only the warning?
:unsure:

I still think it actually is Tojo behind all of this, and that any hints that it isn’t her are red herrings. Like who else could it be, her mom, a deranged fan? If it’s the latter, how could a fan know all of this stuff unless Tojo was feeding info to them?

Whatever options there are, I highly doubt that Tojo isn’t involved at least in some capacity.

If you don´t care about spoilers, earlier chapters and conversations tell who is the accomplice
If you did read who is the accomplice your opinion will surely change (i put this in here because you can never know ehat the moderators consider a strike

Feels like Tojo (and persumably her other accomplices) gave each of her tormentors 'A Taste of Their Own Medicine' for the extra karmic measures

I had a feeling that the 'Phone Girl' would earn the most excruciating loss compared to the others later down the road
