Hiiragi Ibuki is an art teacher at Kaio high school and everybody thought him to be a harmless and introvert person when, ten days before graduation day, he blows off a bomb in the school and isolates 3rd grade's class A.
All the students are first incredulous and think about some sort of joke, but when Hiiragi makes clear that everything is true, panic starts to spread and the only question, inside and outside the classroom is "Why is he doing this?"

Hiiragi aims to undercover the truth about Kageyama Reina's suicideshe was the school talented swimmer and one of his students, but a lot of people held grudges on to her, included a few of her classmates. With the cooperation of Kageyama's best friend Kayano Sakura, Hiiragi teaches the class some valuable life lessons, but will he be able to reach his goal and find out why Kageyama took her life?

My Opinion👍👎
A powerful and very well executed script, with a teacher who really cares about his students and eventually ends helping them being their best version. Every episode spans an entire day and refers to a certain topic, from cyberbullying to blackmails, revenge, and the sense of hopelessness and helplessness every teen experience during their school lives.

Mr.Hiiragi signature phrase is "let's think" which will prove to have a more profound meaning than initially anticipated.
I also liked every plot twist and how detailed every student's personalities were, so if you like high school dramas with deeper topics and plot compared to the usual one-sided love and the battle for "who's the pretties" then this is it, watch it!
You know what? Watch it even if you don't like school dramas, you won't regret it!
