April 25, 2023: I like how the story does not just exclusively involve teachers, but also any setting that harms the welfare of children. Can't wait for Season 2 for the real deal!

September 30, 2023: Unfortunately, the series was taken down after the "racist" issue on the recent chapters. I'm guessing this would be goodbye.

It was good while it lasted.

This remind me of Great Teacher Onizuka

Deleting my previous review as a few arcs had me reeling, and I can't in good faith recommend this. There's one arc where gender equality is compared to an brainwashing cult (there is an actual cult arc later, so the similarities are very stark) and it's done really badly, turning all the women involved into aggressive man-haters. Considering South Korea's current issue of misogyny and anti-feminism, this felt so gross. There's also an arc tackling mixed-race heritage and racism in South Korea, but like... it's so insane that it will sound fake no matter how I explain it. The Black-heritage kids are drawn so unsympathetically and minstrel-like, and they have the n-slur thrown at them repeatedly by the white-heritage kids. It's "justified" because they're the bullies, apparently. Seriously, what the hell. Webtoon have quite rightly taken this series off their service.

You're not reading this for a moral high-ground, or a violence begets violence story (yet at least). As of ch. 17, it's just shitty people getting dunked on by slightly less shitty people, and it's bloody enjoyable.
It's obviously gonna be formulaic, so I'm interested at what curveballs are thrown to keep everything fresh.
