Story: 8/10
4 persons (3 students and a teacher) meet in the school chat room. They all blame the school as the source of their problems, so they decide to blow it up. As the characters get to know each other, they begin to realize that their problems are situated in other aspects of life as well, not just from the school. They start to help each other to deal with the problems.
'Loneliness' is a very important part of the story.

Art: 9/10
The art fits the serious theme; no chibis, no overdrawn gestures or expressions.
Sometimes you can feel the characters suffering because of ... looking at the pictures. Sometimes there may be a lack of backgrounds, but sometimes it just fits the scene. A small amount of panels also contain just 'screenshots' from the online conversation, but that's okay, because it may give you the feeling of a 'real online conversation' and how else would you be able to tell the reader what they're writing there?

Character: 10/10
All characters have their very own problems which makes them rather unique and special.
Jangalian, a grumpy biolgy teacher, is stalked by his boss's daughter and annoed by his students.
11 is overstrained by her life; she was dumped by her boyfriend, who took a younger girl, who starts beating 11 at everything she was good at.
Mr. Money is abused by his mother and she blames him for all her problems. Therefore, he's afraid of women.
Polaris is very shy and silent... as long she has to wear her school uniform. As soon as she dresses as a gothic lolita, she's a totally different person.

Enjoyment: 9/10
The manga is nothing for those, who search for some happy-go-lucky-mangas with cheerful characters and a world full of joy. it's the exact opposite. It shows four normal persons, who can't deal with their problems anymore. The main problem is something everybody knows:
Loneliness.
I enjoyed this manga very much, because it was deep and I guess everybody felt already like some of the characters already.

Overall: 9/10
It's an awesome manga with elements of psycho and a bit of romance. It shows how your problems can bring you down and your friends can build you up...
And that's blowing up the cause of your problem isn't always the only solution.

I kind of got this manga on a whim, after reading some of the reviews.
WOW! I started reading this just for a little before I went to bed, and ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting - very unusual for me now as I tend to fall asleep easier than I did 20 years ago (yes, I'm old). But it definetly says something that I actually turned out the light, then turned it back on, walked over to the shelf and pulled Volume two off because I HAD HAD HAD to know what happened.

The story and characters in this story are outstanding - ... you really get a feel for the angst and pressures of school years, and the wavering quality of these times. And the emotions never feel forced or fake.


I went into this manga thinking the protagonists would be bad, but you never feel that they are evil/bad/wrong. Misguided yes - but you also really feel like they are trapped.
I especially liked the emotional quality of MR Money - the conflicting, contradictory events in his life are a source of puzzlement, but the rationalizations he uses hit close to what I have seen in real life. And the teacher without a true goal or purpose hits closer to home - as I get older I sometimes feel like that.

The art in good, it doesn't add or detract anything in particular. It goes between detailed and austere as the scene calls for it.

Enjoyment was high, pure drama, very thought-provoking. This manga earned a permenant spot on my shelf : ~ )

I enjoyed it too much.

In general I do not like the genre to which the manga belongs, I thought that some repetitive themes would happen, it was not like that, is no the opposite.

Aesthetically it is not very attractive and it seems like some 90's generic manga tha can drop to trash.

It was not necessary some terrible or incredible events to identify me with the characters, tthe simplest things were the ones who made me remember and see myself in the characters.

the little things that we do to ourselves are the ones that prevent us from moving forward and it is these very little things ... that make us commit the biggest stupidities in our lives; It is what I get from this work, it is what made me remember.
