Synopsis

On the first day of the school year, the incoming students of Class 2-D at Kairei Private Middle School receive an anonymous message ranking them. No one knows what the ranking means, but the students quietly reach a consensus: it is a pecking order. At the very top of the list stands the good-natured Tsubaki Himeyama, but her unbiased kindness soon makes the ranking seem irrelevant.

However, tragedy strikes when Himeyama commits suicide in the girls' bathroom. Three days after Himeyama's death, her dazed and grieving friends return to a chilling sight in their classroom. On each desk—including the teacher's—is a different suicide note by Himeyama, 29 in total. Determined to understand why someone so flawless would take her own life, the students begin to share the contents of their individual letters every week. But each of them has a secret to hide, always circling back to the strange ranking and its dark consequences.

Plot: As the synopsis says, the general plot is about a class, with a strange ranking system, and one day, the number 1 student who was popular, loved and beautiful commits suicide. The day after she was found dead, everyone gets a note ...

This manga is fire like the whole psychological thriller part of the manga about how the y uncover the true personality and the nature and environment of class 2D and how a simple things made such huge difference in between people interactions. This manga is really good and signals at many things when ch we do not notice though present in our daily lives. It has an interesting premise and the whole story is carried out in a weel mannered way and the plot twists are amazing. This manga is one of the best thriller mangas i have read.
10/10 score for being so short ...
