Fellow Student

It is said that the author has hated teachers since elementary school.
The teacher of hatred and distrust from the author's past seems to appear as a character in this work.
He is the epitome of a hypocrite who prioritizes his own well-being above all else.
It vividly shows how educators, who should lead students correctly, instead destroy students' lives because of their own secular desires and twisted obsessions.

I personally don't prefer the school mystery genre because of the motives, conflicts, and extreme solutions that adults cannot understand.

The most superficially revealed theme of this work is the deep conflict and distrust between student and teacher, and between the child and parent generations.

It also exposes that these individual tragedies are actually a larger structural problem of the social irresponsibility of giant capital.
In other words, it implies that the operating methods of the school and corporate worlds are essentially the same.

However, it's disappointing that many parts felt like chuunibyou (middle schooler syndrome) bluster rather than deep inner agony without being convincing.
