Zenbu Kowashite Jigoku de Aishite

To all outward appearances, Kurumi Yoshizawa is the model student: student council president, flawless grades, and an unassailable reputation for politeness and grace. But behind the mask of perfection lies a girl suffocating under the weight of her mother's ironclad control and the suffocating expectations of her teachers. Every smile is a performance, every honor a cage, and the pressure building inside her has long since passed its breaking point. When her homeroom teacher assigns her the task of persuading her truant classmate, Naoi, to return to school, Kurumi approaches the duty with her usual mechanical diligence—only to be met with raw contempt. Naoi looks past her polished surface with unnerving clarity, speaking words that cut straight to the ugly truths Kurumi desperately hides from herself. Cornered and fracturing, Kurumi makes a reckless, clumsy bid for rebellion: a pathetic attempt at shoplifting that is less about theft and more about screaming into the void. But her cry for help becomes her undoing when Naoi catches the entire act on camera, weaponizing the evidence with a cruel smile. In that instant, the pristine president and the defiant outcast are bound together in a toxic, inescapable dynamic—one holding the other's fate in her hands, both teetering on the edge of despair. What unfolds is a brutal, visceral coming-of-age story about two young people trapped in a mundane hell, each struggling for any semblance of control, and neither willing to let the other escape alive.
