Shouma and his friends demean and assault the class rep in an empty room at school. How far will they go before they stop?
Classmate is a very short one-shot so the review will be short as well. Just as a warning, nothing happens in this except a shithead and his shithead friends mercilessly bully another classmate for no apparent reason (except for a really halfass attempt at a reason on the last page). Just so you know what you're getting into, there's plain-old beating up, forcing the guy to open his mouth while they piss in it, shoving a sausage on a stick where you'd imagine it would get shoved and then photographing it, followed by him trying to escape and falling down the stairs. Yes, I guess I just spoiled all of the abuse that happens, but that's all that happens. There's no character development. There is really no reason to read this As one additional aside, the character designs are ugly with inconsistent eye shapes.
You don't need to read this, I would actually recommend not to
It's a portrayal of bullying. With no vindication or meaningfulness to wrap it up. Just cruelty. That being said, Shouma's disregard for the class rep's personhood, and feir fetishization of the whole ordeal, felt very real. As did the half-in, half-out herd mentality of the two other bullies. So purely as a portayal of bullying, I felt it did a very good job.
