Synopsis

In the hallowed halls of Shinkou Academy Machida High, no one is more capable and beloved than the charismatic and handsome teacher Seiji Hasumi, who is always willing to go the extra mile for his students. But beneath his charming facade lies a psychopath who manipulates people and events around him so that everything goes his way. From dealing with troublesome parents and bullies to unruly delinquents, no problem is too big for Hasumi, as he orchestrates events at the school and even murders people in order to build it into his own perfect kingdom.

You and I both know when going into a manga like this that it’s going to be stupid edgy, stupid trashy, that a lot of murders will be stupid to up the headcount. These are not reasons to shame. You don’t go to a nightclub and complain about naked bodies. But is “Lesson of Evil” (oh my god, the naming) stupid overall, as you’d expect from a story about a sexy serial killer? It is unrealistic, sure, it is corny, maybe campy, occasionally cringy, but stupid? I think no. I even gained new ideas and cultural knowledge out of reading it, which both confounds and ...

Wow, what a read this was. Aku no Kyouten was everything that seemed interesting in a manga to me. But it was a complete piece of dogshit. I'm normally a fan of edgy trash, but this was just something else. The writing was awful and decisions the characters made were stupid. None of the characters matter and just end up doing nothing. Half of the manga was just a school shooting where it was just shitty deaths for characters that showed up once or twice that I never cared enough to learn the names of. I am unable to tell who the manga wants you ...
