Description

In Mama Netori, Shinta Hashijima’s peaceful, enjoyable school life falls apart with the arrival of Rikiya Gouhara, a massive transfer student whose violent behavior soon makes Shinta’s days a misery. When Shinta stands up to Rikiya’s bullying, he becomes the new student’s favorite target. Even the smallest excuse is enough for Rikiya to pick a fight, leaving Shinta trapped in a relentless cycle of intimidation and humiliation. Reduced to the lowest-ranking lackey in the group, Shinta finds himself ordered around not only by Rikiya but also by friends who were once close to him. His everyday life becomes a thankless routine of running errands and enduring mistreatment. As resentment builds, the thought of getting revenge on Rikiya begins to consume him. An unexpected encounter finally reveals a crack in his tormentor’s confidence: Shinta catches Rikiya cowering as a gorgeous, unfamiliar woman scolds him. Discovering that she is Yaeko Gouhara—Rikiya’s own mother—gives Shinta a new focus for his anger. Determined to strike back, he chooses Yaeko as the ultimate target of his revenge.
