Strip 001 — Cover and credits¶
The Imperfect Comics title card identifies Chapter 43 and lists the scanlation staff.
Strip 002 — Warning¶
A black page warns that the chapter contains strong language and themes and reiterates that the work is fictional.
Strip 003 — Yang demands an explanation¶
Teacher Yang, cheek swollen from Lim’s slap, confronts Na and Lim.
“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING NOW?”
Na stands relaxed, hands near his pockets, while Lim remains close enough to intervene again.
Na answers:
“ACTUALLY, WE’VE BEEN INFORMED THAT YOU’VE BEEN BRAINWASHING THESE CHILDREN’S EDUCATION.”
Strip 004 — Self-righteous instruction¶
Yang holds her injured face.
Na continues:
“SURE ENOUGH… THE EDUCATION WAS QUITE SELF-RIGHTEOUS.”
“MOREOVER, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS OUT OF LINE TO THE PARENT WHO POINTED IT OUT.”
Yang lowers her head.
“I ADMIT THAT I WENT TOO FAR WITH SUMI’S FATHER.”
A translator note corrects the child’s name from the previous release, indicating “Somi,” though this transcription preserves the spelling used in each printed strip.
Yang then snaps:
“BUT BRAINWASHING?”
Strip 005 — Defining brainwashing¶
Na says:
“BRAINWASHING IS A VICIOUS TEACHING METHOD THAT INJECTS NARROW AND IMMORAL IDEAS LIKE NAZISM.”
Yang adjusts or grips her glasses.
“I DON’T AGREE WITH YOU CALLING MY TEACHING METHODS BRAINWASHING!”
Na asks:
“THEN DO YOU THINK YOUR TEACHING METHOD IS NORMAL?”
Yang answers confidently:
“OF COURSE!”
Strip 006 — Na proposes observation¶
Na smiles.
“SOUNDS GOOD. WE JUST WATCHED THE CLASS JUST NOW…”
“THERE COULD BE SOME MISUNDERSTANDING BECAUSE WE JUST SAW IT FOR A SECOND.”
“IF THAT’S THE CASE, THEN LET’S DO THIS.”
The next panel shifts to Na and Lim seated at school desks.
Na greets the room:
“HELLO GUYS~”
Strip 007 — The “transfer students”¶
Na announces:
“TODAY, WE JUST TRANSFERRED TO THIS SCHOOL.”
“NA HWA-JIN AND LIM HAN-RIM~”
They are visibly adult, dressed in black formal clothing, and absurdly oversized for the elementary desks. The children stare.
Na adds:
“WE’RE HERE FOR LESSONS ABOUT GENDER EQUALITY FROM MRS. YANG.”
Yang forces a professional smile.
“I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING WITH YOU~”
The setup lets Na and Lim challenge the lesson from inside the role of students.
Strip 008 — A child shows her dress¶
A girl proudly displays a dress or photograph of clothing her father bought.
Other children respond positively, calling it pretty or complimenting her.
Yang abruptly interrupts and reframes the exchange as appearance-based discrimination.
The girl’s smile fades as the teacher turns an ordinary moment of pride into a moral violation.
Strip 009 — Mandatory confession¶
Yang tells the class that judging or praising a person by appearance reinforces discrimination.
She asks children who made the compliment to raise their hands or admit fault.
The children become quiet and uncertain.
Na raises a hand with exaggerated enthusiasm.
“VERY GOOD.”
His tone is visibly sarcastic.
Strip 010 — Na distinguishes praise from contempt¶
Na argues that discrimination based on appearance should disappear, but a compliment is not automatically an act of looking down on someone else.
He challenges the assumption that every evaluation of appearance creates hierarchy.
Yang insists that appearance-centered praise trains girls into prescribed femininity.
Strip 011 — Individual taste¶
Na replies that wanting to dress attractively or enjoying praise can also be an individual preference.
He asks the child directly whether she likes being called pretty.
She answers that she does.
Na’s argument is not that beauty standards are harmless. It is that the teacher cannot protect individuality by erasing the child’s own stated preference.
Strip 012 — Warning against forced uniformity¶
Na says that suppressing individual tastes in the name of equality can itself become authoritarian or fascistic.
The children listen closely, and several visibly agree.
Yang’s face tightens because the class is responding more naturally to the open question than to her predetermined answer.
Strip 013 — Textbook occupations¶
Yang changes the subject to occupations and opens a textbook.
She presents images in which the pilot, doctor, or police officer is male while the teacher is female.
She calls the illustrations a gender stereotype and says the Ministry of Education should correct them.
The lesson now moves from compliments to representation in employment.
Strip 014 — A child’s practical objection¶
A boy comments that men are often physically stronger and may therefore be suited to police work involving violent criminals.
Yang tells him that every occupation contains a meaningful role for women.
She then invokes Lim Han-rim as proof, mentioning her public reputation and military background.
Strip 015 — Yang calls on Lim¶
Yang asks Lim what role women have in the military.
The children turn toward her, expecting an inspirational example of a specifically female contribution.
Lim steps into the open space at the front.
Strip 016 — Finger push-ups¶
Lim drops to the floor and performs push-ups supported only by her fingertips.
The children gasp and crowd closer. Korean action SFX emphasize the rapid, controlled repetitions.
Yang appears pleased at first, believing the demonstration supports her lesson.
Strip 017 — Identical standards¶
Lim explains that special-forces physical requirements are not lowered because a soldier is a woman.
The mission and the ability to complete it are the central standards.
She notes her own combat and martial-arts ability without presenting it as a special “female” category.
Strip 018 — “Only the role of a soldier”¶
Lim states:
“THERE’S NO FEMALE ROLE IN THE MILITARY.”
“THERE’S ONLY THE ROLE OF A SOLDIER.”
She adds that the same principle applies to other jobs: the job has requirements, and the person who can meet them performs it.
The answer rejects both exclusion and ornamental inclusion.
Strip 019 — Children side with Na and Lim¶
The students react enthusiastically.
A visible bubble reads:
“I THINK THE TWO ARE RIGHT.”
Other children agree and repeat the point.
Yang’s expression becomes strained. Her invited example has contradicted the exact framework she wanted affirmed.
Strip 020 — Yang loses control of the lesson¶
Yang tries to recover by returning to abstract claims about social conditioning and representation.
Na continues raising simple questions that require her to separate actual contempt from difference, taste, or occupational competence.
Each answer makes her method look more rigid.
Strip 021 — A classroom no longer reciting¶
The children begin speaking more freely rather than searching for Yang’s approved answer.
Some reconsider earlier statements; others simply express confusion.
Yang watches the room with increasing frustration because discussion has replaced compliance.
Strip 022 — The inspectors remain seated¶
Na and Lim remain in their desks, calm and almost playful.
Their physical size and black clothing make them conspicuous, but their intervention is primarily verbal. They expose the method by accepting its questions literally.
Yang’s authority is not physically threatened; it is undermined by the students discovering that disagreement can exist without moral guilt.
Strip 023 — End of the lesson segment¶
The final story panels hold on Yang’s humiliated face and the students’ growing support for the two “transfer students.”
The chapter ends before Yang reveals how she plans to regain control.
Strip 024 — Scanlation promotional material¶
A game collaboration, recruitment notice, Discord invitation, and support links close the release.
Chapter-level observations¶
1. Observation replaces accusation¶
Na gives Yang an opportunity to demonstrate that the first lesson was misunderstood. Her repeated behavior supplies stronger evidence than an immediate confrontation would have.
2. The key dispute is not equality versus discrimination¶
Na and Lim do not oppose equality. They oppose a system in which the teacher predefines every correct conclusion and treats dissent as proof of immorality.
3. Lim’s answer refuses tokenism¶
Her military experience supports women’s competence while rejecting the idea that women must have a decorative or separate “female role.”
4. Children respond to genuine questions¶
Once the students are permitted to answer from preference and experience, the classroom becomes more animated. Yang experiences this liveliness as a loss of control.
