Strip 001 — Cover, credits, and warning¶
The chapter cover and scanlation credits appear, followed by the recurring warning about strong language and fictional content.
Strip 002 — Yang seeks validation online¶
At home or in a private room, Teacher Yang reads an anonymous teacher-community forum.
Visible comments defend her and insult the two agency inspectors:
“SCHOOL IS RIDICULOUS”
“EVERYONE’S PICKING ON THE TEACHER, EVEN THE TEACHING AUTHORITIES!”
“YEAH! IT’S ALWAYS THE TEACHER!”
“THAT MISTER’S BEARD IS DIRTY JUST LOOKING AT IT MAKES ME SICK!”
Another user complains that Lim’s red hair is inappropriate for an elementary school.
Yang absorbs the supportive messages as confirmation that she is being persecuted.
Strip 003 — The forum reinforces resistance¶
More anonymous posts ask whether the Teachers’ Rights Protection Agency came to investigate the site or the teachers.
Users tell Yang not to hide, not to give up, and to show the Ministry the value of their teaching methods.
One post says they are protecting children.
Yang’s face hardens.
She decides that she cannot back down because she is convinced she has done nothing wrong.
Strip 004 — A request to the class¶
The next school day, Yang addresses the children and asks them for a favor or proposes a more “free” discussion.
She intends to demonstrate that her lessons produce independent thought rather than obedience.
Na and Lim remain in the room as observers/students.
Strip 005 — Bathroom pictograms¶
A child raises an issue concerning men’s and women’s bathroom signs.
The discussion concerns whether the standard symbols—trousers for men and skirts or red coloring for women—are stereotypical or difficult to distinguish.
Some students say the familiar signs are useful and easy to recognize.
Strip 006 — Na protects the first disagreement¶
When one child begins challenging another, Na tells the class not to cut the speaker off.
He explains that pictograms exist to communicate quickly and that scholars and designers can debate how much traditional symbolism is appropriate.
Most importantly, he says the children must be allowed to speak freely rather than immediately classify one answer as morally bad.
Yang outwardly agrees.
Strip 007 — Na-young’s discomfort¶
Yang asks a girl—identified in the dialogue as Na-young or by a similar name—for her opinion.
The girl, with hair arranged in buns, says that the skirt and red coloring on women’s signs make her uncomfortable and that she dislikes red.
Yang praises the contribution.
Strip 008 — Mockery begins¶
Other children respond harshly.
They say anyone who cannot distinguish the signs is stupid or cannot read.
One child repeats the language of earlier lessons, accusing the dissenting child or her opponents of being “discriminators.”
Insults such as “maggot” appear.
The debate quickly stops being about design.
Strip 009 — Yang’s weak correction¶
Yang lightly tells the students not to compare or insult one another, but she also praises the class for becoming more active.
“THE CLASS IS MORE LIVELY.”
She decides that she should use this style of discussion often.
Na watches carefully. He notices that Yang values visible participation even when the participation is becoming collective aggression.
Strip 010 — Constructing a majority¶
Yang asks the class to raise their hands if they agree with Na-young.
Hands rise.
The exercise creates a visible majority and minority around a personal preference.
Children look sideways at classmates before deciding how to vote.
Strip 011 — A second dissenting opinion¶
Another girl, wearing an orange or warm-colored shirt, says the argument feels too sensitive or exaggerated.
She does not deny discrimination generally; she questions whether the bathroom-sign issue deserves the intensity being placed on it.
The room turns toward her.
Strip 012 — Social punishment¶
Students attack the girl’s identity rather than her point.
They tell her to use the men’s room, accuse her of betraying girls and the future, and say discrimination continues because of people like her.
The language escalates to:
“JUST DIE.”
Other children tell her not to breathe or eat.
The phrases resemble the teacher’s moral categories but have become weapons in a peer hierarchy.
Strip 013 — Yang permits escalation¶
Yang says one of the students is going too far, but she does not stop the structure producing the hostility.
She continues treating the exchange as educational debate.
The children learn that abuse is tolerated when framed as passionate opposition to discrimination.
Strip 014 — A student leader mobilizes the room¶
The bun-haired girl or another socially dominant student rises and shouts:
“EVERYBODY GET UP!”
Several children obey immediately.
The command reveals that the classroom has already developed factions and leaders beneath Yang’s claimed free discussion.
Strip 015 — Physical attack¶
One child rushes another and kicks or strikes her.
Desks scrape, bodies collide, and the room erupts.
Students scream insults including:
“KILL YOURSELF!”
“DIE YOU BUGS!”
“CRAZY BITCH!”
The language is extremely violent for elementary pupils and reflects the moral absolutism they have been taught to use against enemies.
Strip 016 — The class divides¶
Two groups form across the classroom.
Children pull hair, kick, shove, and swarm around desks.
The debate over symbols has become a literal faction fight.
Yang stands frozen, unable to regain control.
Strip 017 — Na stops the fight¶
Na rises and slams or strikes a desk with enough force to create a large impact SFX.
The entire room freezes.
His intervention is sudden but directed at the environment rather than at a child.
Strip 018 — The question Yang avoided¶
Na turns toward Yang.
He asks whether, whenever people disagree:
“YOU BITE EACH OTHER AND MAKE ENEMIES!”
The children stare, breathing hard and disheveled.
Strip 019 — Division as an educational outcome¶
Na continues:
“IS THE CLASS BEING DIVIDED IN HALF…”
The framing shows the two student camps on opposite sides.
“PART OF YOUR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES?”
Yang cannot answer.
The question reframes the fight not as unpredictable child behavior but as the result of a classroom design that rewards moral labeling and visible factional loyalty.
Strip 020 — Aftermath¶
The story pauses on Yang’s stunned expression and the frightened children.
The room’s disorder—shifted desks, fallen bodies, angry faces—visually contradicts her claim that she was creating a safer world without discrimination.
Strips 021–025 — End material¶
The release announces that the scanlation has caught up with the raws and that future releases will be weekly.
Additional game-promotion, recruitment, Discord, PayPal, website, and Patreon material follows.
Chapter-level observations¶
1. The online forum closes Yang’s feedback loop¶
Instead of examining the children’s harm, Yang seeks an anonymous community that frames every criticism as an attack on teachers. Validation replaces reflection.
2. “Free discussion” is staged¶
Yang chooses the topic, creates a public vote, and rewards the language she recognizes as morally correct. The children are free only to intensify the framework she supplied.
3. Moral categories become gang identities¶
Once classmates are divided into people “for” and “against” discrimination, ordinary disagreement is treated as evidence that the other child is evil. The resulting violence mirrors the gang conflicts from earlier arcs.
4. Na judges education by its result¶
His final question avoids an abstract ideological debate. Whatever Yang intended, the measurable outcome is a class split into enemies and physically attacking itself.
