LOL OMG ROFLMFAO IM A TEENAGER BULLYING IS SO FUN HAHA wait is that a detonator 500https://i.ur.com/lIgK2Qc.png Kyoushitsu Jibaku Club is a death game manga by Aoiseihttps://anilist.co/staff/125069/Aoisei story and Anajirohttps://anilist.co/staff/137240/Anajiro art. LAST MINUTE EDIT: Except its not really a death game as technically theres no actual game being played here but honestly it shares so many familiar trademarks of those series Im personally gonna keep considering this as a death game manga. The english translation of the title is something like Suicide Bombing Club. Upon stumbling upon this series in the wild and seeing that cover and title... I knew this was going to be something. I knew it was going to be a doozy of a death game. Suicide Boming Club? Are you serious? Unfortunately I was disappointed. Dont get me wrong. It is in fact a death game about suicide bombs and yes it is indeed quite awful as I expected. But... when I first saw the volume cover and the translated title a completely different series materialized within my head. A manga about a club of highschoolers tinkering around and building explosive devices and then putting their creations to the test the only way they could. By blowing up their classmates. 440https://i.ur.com/D8V3sRe.png But instead its of course just your typical death game affair but centered around suicide bombing. Rather than a phone app or a spooky ghost its mostly just a girl who has a suicide bomb thats gonna fucking blow all the characters to hell if they step out of line or dont follow her orders. 440https://i.ur.com/Qg4O6bt.png It almost feels like Im just dismissing this as just another typical bad death game but I want to stress to you that it isnt. As a matter of fact I feel genuine hatred toward this one. Because while an annoying amount of death games seem to be centered around high schoolers in a classroom this ones key topic is bullying. Ive seen the bullying thing done a lot in various horror series. And its usually always done as edgy and over the top as possible but I dont think any of those series made me angrier with that shit than this one did. Im just going to go ahead and say right now that beyond this point Im going to spoil the plot of the manga. I would very much not recommend reading this series at all if youre looking for an entertaining death game and I mean that in both a good and bad sense. If youre a masochist though? Then yeah recommended. Five star experience. 440https://i.ur.com/ft6nVrc.png So okay with that out of the way the overall moral of this story that this manga tells is The way to defeat bullies is to suicide bomb them. Because at the end of the manga all the bullies of the world are like oh shit we better not bully this nerd or they might fucking kamikaze our ass. 440https://i.ur.com/UFfgfkw.png Trying to like morally rationalize something in a death game is a fucking foolish idea in the first place I dont deny that. I mean this fucking series is about suicide bombs for christ sake. But still I could not manage to turn off my brain before trying to process how goddamned awful of a message that is to send. 440https://i.ur.com/et119xR.png The only way to stop bullying? Kill the bullies until they are afraid Kid who was nice to me? Better not come to school tomorrow because Im bringing C4. But to be somewhat fair in this death games universe bullies are way way more evolved than any bullies I ever knew when I was in school. God DAMN IT. This girl hasnt killed herself yet We have to step up our game Lets go slit her dogs throat and leave it on her doorstep I mean when your bullies are this ramped up I cant even take it seriously. Im not denying that bullying cant get pretty bad but jesus christ. Going to murder a girls dog and leaving its corpse at her door specifically to try and drive her to suicide is if that isnt considered comically extreme then nothing is. But alas I guess that just goes to show I do in fact still possess a little bit of hope for the human race if I actually go well but are there really bullies out there that are THAT bad? Like were not talking about putting tacks in her shoes carving obscenities onto her school desk we are talking about slitting her dogs throat. 440https://i.ur.com/Snj82ze.png I cant honestly think of something someone could do that would drive me to such actions and this is just teenagers essentially going lets bully this girl cause why not. Ugh anyways... This manga then proceeds to show that its on nobodys side as the bullied girl whos holding the class hostage has multiple students throughout the series strip. The purpose of doing so is because the death game needed nudity. The first time was she was making a couple tell the others secrets about each other to presumably destroy their relationship. And to include nudity in the manga. Eventually most of the class have stripped because including nudity is very important. See this is very important for the bullied girl to actually succeed in feeling that shes taken revenge and... ... 440https://i.ur.com/r4LXfU9.png I fucking hate death games. Because of course that isnt even as bad as it gets. After one of them tries to cut her she then just floats out the offer of if you have sex with the most popular girl and successfully ejaculate Ill just let you leave and of course one of the bullies immediately takes her up on the offer and immediately starts raping the popular girl............................. ... ...Anyways at the end of this living nightmare the postcredits stinger is like there was a fucking organization behind it all giving bullying victims suicide bombs and theyre marveling about how theyve actually put an end to bullying and theyre fucking annoyed about it because now they cant have high school students suicide bomb classrooms anymore. But then like the leader of the organization tells them to calm down because humanity is so fucking awful that the bullies will eventually start bullying anyways DESPITE all of the suicide bombings. 440https://i.ur.com/2Cnn4wW.png ...Its just hate. All the way down its just hate. All I have for this death game is hate. I hate its take on bullying. I hate how horribly typical of just another death game it proved to be. I think like in the early chapters suicide bomb girl even had like a website or phone app where the students vote who they think deserves to be suicide bombed the most and of course they only use it a SINGLE time. 440https://i.ur.com/MDaMceh.png I hate how they felt the need to bring up But most of all I hate that I cant even say that its the worst death game Ive read. That being said the only parts of value are the gore and/or explosions. Though believe me I have a special place in my heart for it for sure. Kyoshitsu Jibaku Club is a 5 out of 100. 500https://i.ur.com/NiNnEM8.png
