Well I have decided I will stand against the world if I could protect Fushimi-san's smile. Also, thanks for the translation Good Try Scans.

It is a sillier version of the Ethics Manga indeed. While the topics seem to be real enough, the writing is much less grounded in the sense that all the teenagers are actually proven right with their very simplistic outlook, rather than the resolution being grayer.

I like the style and the premise has potential but just being a cuter version of GTO isn’t enough for a long run.

Maybe I’m just reading too much into 2 chapters…

Aida and Achiha were taught a viable lesson by Fushimi-san. Don't take your friend's feelings lightly.

I get what Kosuke's feeling. He just cannot understand why people are so quick to rashly pin others down, even as a joke. He loves these people, he'd never want them gone for such a petty reason. I'm glad that Fushimi-san was able to help give them a new mindset on life!

I'm really liking this.
Also, seems like, yes indeed, the characters change between chapters, except from Janitor

I wouldn't say it's so much that the characters are "proven right" as it is their burdens are lessened. Honestly I think this is a weaker chapter than the first, but that aside; Kousuke's issues aren't resolved, Achiha just admits he shouldn't have been dismissive of his friend trying to speak up.
From the chapter it seems that Kousuke's whole problem is he doesn't want to speak up or ruin the mood, and throughout the chapter he has a positive interaction where his friends take his feelings seriously, and that could help him communicate in the future. I think ultimately this story is more about compassion than anything else.

I didn't read the synopsis at first,
I thought this was going to be about that schoolgirl in the 1st chapter, so I thought that this will be dark story
turns out, it is a 'sunrise' story

when you close with people who prone to dying, you either very sensitive about the concept of dying or went total numb. it's just different way of coping mechanism and both are fine. it is very humane reaction and nothing weird about it. it just people need to understand the situation but you can't make people understand it if you didn't communicate it.

Time for a short story. Gonna keep things as concise as possible. Remember kiddies, I'm not a good person.

During TAFE days I hung out with the smokers which included a couple.
They seemed nice enough but the gf was an outrageous flirt when out of site of her bf.
Everyone loved them, or at least her.
One day he disappeared.
His family confronted her about it and she told everyone that she was being harassed by them.
They thought he'd killed himself over her or at least that's what she claimed.
Turns out he locked himself up in a psych ward, something we wouldn't find out for a while.
He turned up a few weeks later trying to make it seemed like nothing happened.
We all cracked the shits with him. "How dare you do that to her" type shit.
I quoted some stupid Down lyrics at him.
"Never try, never try, either do it or don't waste our lives."

The next day he jumped in front of a train and died.
The day after she started dating his best friend and everyone went about life as if nothing had changed.

I'm not a good person and a lot of my life will haunt me. Words have power and death is a very compelling concept.

Good manga 'ey guys?
