Dissolving Classroom (Manga) | comment |
Dissolving Classroom is a horror manga by Junji Ito.Yuuma Azawa and his little sister Chizumi are not normal. Yuuma spends his time apologizing to almost everyone around him and Chizumi creeps out everyone who encounters her. What no one knows, usually until it's too late, is that they harbor dark secrets that make them a deadly menace to everyone around them, and a string of horrifying incidents sets them on the move. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_130436b9 | comment |
Annoying Younger Sibling: Chizumi is an extremely twisted example, as her "annoying" behavior towards her older brother consists of (very likely truthfully) telling others about how he made a pact with the devil and kills for fun. | |

Ambiguous Innocence | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_149605c1 | comment |
Ambiguous Innocence: Chizumi asserts that Yuuma is addicted to apologizing to other people due to it bringing him closer to the devil. Yuuma always immediately denies this whenever he's around to hear her... only to begin apologizing for his sister's strange behavior to whoever she was speaking with. Overall, it's unclear whether Yuuma is an unwilling victim of the devil's power, or a genuine sociopath who consciously goes out of his way to kill as many people as he can. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Chizumi insists that Yuuma is a devil-worshiper who is addicted to melting people because it brings him closer to his master. Yuuma insists that Chizumi isn't in the right mind, and seems genuinely remorseful when apologizing to others, making him come off as an unwilling victim of the devil rather than a devoted follower. It's ambiguous which one of the two is telling the truth and which one is lying. | |

The Sociopath | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Yuuma killed small animals as a kid, which is a textbook sign of a sociopath. If we are to believe Chizumi, then all of his polite and meek behavior is merely an act to allow him to kill as many people as he possibly can, which firmly puts him here. Chizumi is also one, as she revels in Yuuma's killings, even if she herself doesn't do them. | |

Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_19a5d773 | comment |
They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: While Chizumi is an Obviously Evil Creepy Child, Yuuma looks like an entirely Ordinary High-School Student. To make matters worse, since his brain-melting power comes from apologizing, it's impossible to tell whether he's a scared and helpless victim of a terrifying power or a genuine psychopath who lives solely to horrifically kill everyone he meets. | |

Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: According to Chizumi, Yuuma sacrificed their parents to the devil. Yuuma himself, however, continuously denies it as being true. What happened is never made exactly clear, but the devil definitely has some kind of power in them, as Keiko sees the devil through both Chizumi and the man who brings her to the press conference in the final chapter. | |

Animated Actors: The brief epilogue chapter features Yuuma and Chizumi out-of character, apparently having been played by actors the whole time, to spell out the paranoia and allegory fueling the manga. | |

Apologetic Attacker: In a way, although the attacks themselves are apologies. Yuuma apologizes constantly, which only does harm, but it appears there is genuine remorse behind them...but this is because he's speaking to the devil, whom he may deeply regret getting involved with. | |

Villainous Crush | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_437820dc | comment |
Villainous Crush: Chizumi develops a crush on a young boy named Tomohito in one chapter, and Yuuma locks him up in their lodgings to indulge her. While having Chizumi as an admirer is as mentally-scarring as you'd expect, her feelings do appear to be genuine, to the point where she makes a point of stopping Yuuma from apologizing to him so that he won't die. The kid doesn't appreciate it, fleeing as soon as he gets the chance. He finds out that they murdered his parents, so as to cover up his kidnapping. | |

The Reveal / The Unreveal: The final chapter manages to do both. On the one hand, it is revealed that the devil did in fact have some kind of presence within both Yuuma and Chizumi. On the other, it does not confirm whether or not Yuuma really was its loyal servant like Chizumi claimed him to be, leaving whether the two were victims of its power or its willing minions unclear. | |

While they retain the slim and attractive figures of beautiful young women, their faces melt and deform into truly terrifying shapes. It gets so bad that Nao's parents start to think that she has developed some kind of severe carcinoma. | |

Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them: Yuuma is constantly exasperated by Chizumi's meddling, and, by the later chapters, openly calls her a monster. Despite this, he goes out of his way to take her with him whenever he's forced to go on the run, and seems to hold himself responsible for her deranged personality to a certain degree. Of course, if we're to believe both Chizumi's claims that Yuuma is a devil worshiper and Yuuma's claims that Chizumi is the devil's spawn, there might be more to it than simply brotherly attachment. | |

Ambiguously Evil: The manga provides equal amounts of evidence to support both the idea that Yuuma is an Anti-Villain who is genuinely disgusted and terrified by the influence that the devil has over himself and his sister and the idea that he's a depraved and despicable devil worshiper who only feels true pleasure when he's channeling the devil's power through his apologies and simply puts on a Mask of Sanity to make doing that easier. | |

Lethally Stupid: The journalist tracks down Yuuma and confronts him for his curse. He demands that Yuuma give his side of the story, or he will out the guy and his sister. The two have no choice but to comply. This leads to Yuuma taking responsibility for his actions... by apologizing on national television. You can guess what happens. Of course, it makes sense when you learn that said journalist was actually the Devil, wanting a public massacre. | |

Greater-Scope Villain: The devil, who never takes a direct hand in the manga's events but is Yuuma's apparent object of admiration and worship, appears to be allowing Yuuma to channel his power through Yuuma's apologies, and who possessed (or is at least inside) the reporter who brings Keiko to the press conference in the final chapter. | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: Yuuma genuinely seems to be remorseful for killing small animals as a child, blaming them for Chizumi's current appearance and behavior. He may also feel this way about his victims, although it's a lot more ambiguous and complicated in that case. | |

Multiple-Choice Past | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_a426ae28 | comment |
Multiple-Choice Past: Yuuma and Chizumi both give multiple explanations for their backgrounds and powers, which always conflict with the other one's story and occasionally conflict with their own previous accounts. In general, Yuuma's explanations play himself up as a victim of supernatural forces beyond his control while Chizumi's portray him as a despicable psychopath. | |

And I Must Scream: Keiko survives her first encounter with the siblings, but she sustains brain damage that leaves her unable to talk. The fate of the melted victims, who seem to possess or inhabit their liquid remains...which Chizumi drinks. | |

Oh, Crap!: Keiko has one when she sees the Devil's presence in the reporter. Since she's been rendered mostly mute from brain damage, she can't do anything about it. | |

Abusive Parents | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: In "Dissolving Classroom", Yuuma says that his parents were cruelly strict with him when he was young, and that he relieved the stress from this by killing small animals. Later on, Chizumi shows Keiko their severed heads and reveals that Yuuma killed them as a sacrifice to the devil. In "Dissolving Apartment", Yuuma's parents (who seem to have come back to life somehow) are heard by the neighbors cursing and beating the kids. Eventually Chizumi reveals that Yuuma drags their parents' souls back from hell and reanimates their bodies, but they inevitably melt again. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_b8f5a02 | comment |
Nonstandard Character Design: While everyone is relatively normal-looking (until they become disfigured by Yuuma, of course), Chizumi resembles a gremlin. Yuuma claims that she was not always like this, and that her current appearance is the result of being possessed by the spirits of the animals that he killed as a child. | |

Used to Be a Sweet Kid | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_be0ad6b7 | comment |
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Chizumi was apparently an innocent and well-behaved girl before her parents deaths. Yuuma believes that she was possessed by the vengeful spirits of the animals that he killed as a child, though she may have actually simply been driven insane by seeing her brother murder their parents as sacrifices to the devil. But then, he later also claims that she is the product of the devil sleeping with his mother and that she is inherently evil, which Chizumi herself claims is a lie. | |

Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_c4db6423 | comment |
Yank the Dog's Chain: The one moment that solidifies neither Yuuma nor Chizumi as redeemable is when they kidnap a boy that Chizumi likes. Yuuma ties him up and allows Chizumi to fondle him. Their previous victims escape from their bottles since they were stored with the boy Tomohito, and order him to use the grease to slip his bonds. He does and runs for his life. The cops reveal that the duo already killed his parents and have long fled. Later, the boy shows up with his throat slit. | |

Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_cc39902e | comment |
Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Yuuma is a handsome, polite and well-behaved young man who (according to Chizumi) killed both of his parents as blood sacrifices to the devil and goes out of his way to melt the brains of everyone that he speaks to because it makes him feel closer to his dark master. | |

Nightmare Face | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_cf48c17 | comment |
Nightmare Face: Chizumi, with her bulging, starey eyes, Joker-like grin, and enormous tongue. Yuuma says that it's due to her being cursed as a side effect of his killing animals as a child. The girls Yuuma compliments gradually get uglier and uglier. It all culminates at the end where Nao looks as though her entire face is melting off. | |

ApologizesALot | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_d9ab8fb8 | comment |
Apologizes a Lot: Yuuma spends a great deal of time loudly and profusely apologizing to people, which causes his classmates to think he's strange and bully him, and just confuses everyone else. These apologies, however, are a conduit of Satanic power that melts the people who hear them. If Chizumi is to be believed, he's addicted to apologizing because it feeds his obsession with the devil and gives him pleasure. | |

Mistaken for Disease | |
Dissolving Classroom (Manga) / int_de02e808 | comment |
Mistaken for Disease: As time goes on, characters around Yuuma begin to suffer chronic runny noses and advancing disorientation, initially believed to be caused by a cold or flu infection. It's actually a side-effect of hearing Yuuma's obsessive apologies. For good measure, they're wrong about the symptoms as well: the victims' brains are beginning to melt and pour out of their nostrils. | |

Digging Yourself Deeper: Yuuma doesn't exactly make a great case for himself when arguing against Chizumi's claims that he uses his brain-melting apologies for his own pleasure, as he always starts apologizing to whoever she was speaking to for her strange behavior. Naturally, this is generally when people start running from him. | |
