How many people in this guy's class ended up really hurting at their jobs???

Hopefully we get to see people who took his advice earlier, or maybe some people who didn't need advice....

I don’t think Fushimi needs career help per se, he knows what he wants, he’s just been pressured by his dad to take this high-stress form of job.

I was wondering if the stories were gonna stay two-parters (and be shorter) or if they'll have more parts. This answers that question then...

Poor Fushimi. Having a job with such potential for heavy stress while at the same time having little to no effective ways to deal with the same stress...

His situation is terrible, but he's better off than that girl who sold her body. Maybe things will get better if he just does what the teacher said, but luckily no one has died so far~ 💦
Thks for the tl~

His whole class is going to have to change careers

I love when japanese criticize their own country, that's VERY MUCH NEEDED in the manga industry

If you look far and wide, you'll find them. In the manga by Kanzaki Yuuya I translate, there's a good deal of criticising the Japanese police and aspects of life in Japan.

Psychiatrist Yowai is a good take on the stigma of mental disease in Japan. Stateless was unfortunately dropped by the scanlators, but it deals with how harsh the life of unregistered immigrant children is in the country. And by reading Tetsuya Tsutsui's works, one would think Japan is a crossing of a third-world banana republic and a bureaucratic dystopia. Oh, a tip of the hat would also go to Kimizuka Chikara's works, which deal in a no-nonsense way with bullying (as in, not for revenge porn purporses), criminal stigma and other themes.

What I don't see in manga is direct criticism of the political system. Leaving aside whether it merits criticism, you're hard put to find examples outside of sci-fi dystopias (because in these, it's not "real" Japanese politicians, but cartoon villain, alternate-world versions). People would probably point you to Akumetsu, but by the time I dropped that one around chapter 30, it read more like a tragic hagiography of Junichirou Koizumi. Same for Sanctuary. Destroy and Revolution got close to the real thing, but ultimately vindicated the system.

If you want to see scorched-earth, pillaged-temple criticism of one's own country's system, you'd have to go for manhwa. From what I've read so far, Koreans are far more cynical about their political system than the Japanese about their own.

Would it be too soon to suggest Fushimi listen to train ASMR to help him sleep 🤔?

Thank you for the translation.
