Confessions
by Kanae Minato
Book Overview
On the last day of school, teacher Yuko Moriguchi faces her class and drops a bombshell: her daughter Manami didn’t die by accident—two students in the room killed her. Shielded by juvenile law, they expect impunity; Yuko refuses it. She bypasses the courts and engineers a chilling psychological reprisal, announcing she has mixed HIV‑positive blood into their milk, a revelation that ignites a vicious spiral of bullying, paranoia, and escalating violence. Through shifting, unreliable voices, the story probes vengeance, warped morality, and the wreckage cruelty leaves behind.
