Preliminary (13/? eps)
I consider 13 chapters a good enough benchmark to warrant a review. Especially for a manga like 'Maria no Danzai', which I assume would finish within 35-40 chapters at most.

The beginning execution of the plot, with Maria sacrificing everything — even her dignity — to achieve her goal, was compelling up until around chapter 36. However, the direction afterwards felt inconsistent. The idea that the antagonist Okaya’s parents are terrified of their own son came across as unrealistic and weakened the story’s credibility.

Maria’s son choosing to gather evidence against the bullies by essentially sacrificing himself also felt unnecessary, since there were more believable ways (such as recording their actions) to achieve the same outcome. The deepfake subplot involving his mother further stretched plausibility.

That said, his determination to protect his mother’s dignity, even at the ...
