Ok, this manga tries to bring up some heavy topics, which in itself is interesting,
but I found the tone a bit off.
Some out of place comedic bits and pacing issues.

Like during the "third-act", on page 84.
So they are the dead kid's parents, right?
And the vandalized car? Is that their car? So they were harassed because of the leaked bullying video?
How long has it been since the video leaked? it can't be that fast.

Skimmed through, interesting premise. Will return later to see how it shapes up further on.

What I don't understand is that sure they used the video to make the orc look like a victim to the people to save the son but like why couldn't they just have stated that the kid fell off the fucking bridge for being a dumbass???? while I liked this 1st chapter I just feel like everything could've been solved had they just told the truth like that

Looks fun. But what really takes the cake is the fact the teacher by the end of it still doesn't understand what he did wrong. Bro was just begging because he felt like his position were in trouble. But not the idea he basically described a whole witch trial and not feel anything was wrong by it.

Not enough people would believe them. Prejudice against orcs is strong, so they needed to build direct empathy.

In the 60's Civil Rights movements in the US, the best results were achieved from newspapers showing white students pouring milkshakes on black kids sitting in diners and white cops beating peaceful protestors. The decades of news stories of lynchings and unfair trials changed very few minds.

This is the exact opposite of those shitlib anti racism story of "those racist will change their when we show the error of their ways". While in reality they will double down and contradict themselves to stay racist.
Like tht parent "Our kid was just harassing that kid for justice which we approve, why are people harassing me now once they saw what he did"

Since I don't know how or where to suggest edits, I'll put this here. I used Deepl to translate the description (I know nothing of the japanese language) and what came out is intelligible so here is what I got.

" Japan has experienced an “influx” of alien species. Nina, a centaur girl who is the first alien police officer, meets a man named Yuri, a former police officer who was “No. 0." ...... "

If it's right maybe someone who knows how can suggest an edit?
