On her first day in new high school, Kasai Mai meets an old schoolmate, Odagiri Shino. Odagiri blurts that Kasai used to bully her in junior high. Since then, Mai becomes the target of bullying from the most popular girl, Fujitsuka Yuria.
Odagiri enjoys Kasai get the same experience as she was. Odagiri is still traumatized and currently, rely on antidepressants to control herself. On contrary, Kasai is not as weak as Odagiri. Despite getting such tortures, she chooses to fight back. She slowly gains support from the bystanders who are too afraid to stop Yuria.
In every bullying plots, there are 3 parts playing: the bully, the bullied and the bystanders. Most of the time, bystanders are more than the bullies, but lack in bargaining power. Among the bystanders, the ignorant teacher is the most detested. A teacher who has the power to stop bullying, but choose to turn a blind, should not be a teacher. I was told a teacher is our second parent at the school. But, lately, the teacher seems less and less care about students. Most just want to deliver lesson material, and that's it.
Kids can be cruel and it's an adult's job to correct their behaviors. If a teacher, as the adult, let the bullying continues, kids learn that the behavior is okay. It means a crack in their mind and they're going to bring it to adulthood. What kind of human do you think we're raising here?
