So, Seo is conspiring with Komachi to blow up her classroom, while at the same time the Prez is trying to kill her off before that happens, so Satsuki is too distracted to save her, so she cannot be there in time to save her class? I realize that the Japanese high school is the most interesting and intense place in the entire world (Manga-land), but this is some spy novel-level of gambit pileup...

On the bright side, it warmed my heart to see Satsuki use the proper firefighter door breach technique. Never smash doors with your shoulders, people, or you'll break your collar bone. Human legs are capable of applying much more force and are a lot more durable.

Mngh . . . . why didn't anybody give Seo a pair of scissors?
I mean, it probably wouldn't do great against an extension cord, but at least she could've done something more to save herself . . . . especially since it was actually her tie.

Maybe they did not want to place another potential hazard near her? There is a reason people are told not to run with scissors.

At this point they could probably call the police on prez.

It will be three witnesses against two, without any video evidence. Would be tough, but manageable if the teacher backs them up. On the downside, I think they are going to have a lot more trouble with the exploding classroom than with the Prez at the moment, giving him just enough time to clean up any remaining evidence.

an actual superhero...

Edit: I'm also pretty sure Seo contacted Komachi to ask her to sacrifice herself to stop the explosion or something, given Komachi's absolute lack of attachment to living. Idk, I just don't think Komachi would go along with a request to blow up the classroom if there were any conflicting requests whatsoever. And Seo definitely doesn't want to literally kill everyone in the classroom. A bad person? Maybe, but not "I will literally blow up my classroom" levels. She's probably caught on to Komachi's behavior again by now and figures that this is the best solution.

It would help to know whether Satsuki has visited the classroom after Seo and Komachi's dialogue: if your theory is correct, she would only see Komachi's corpse instead of everyone else's.

She does visit a classroom, but there aren't any corpses in it in the panel.
There is dialogue that implies she went to the classroom the next day, though.
I forgot about that detail LOL but what I said was mostly a rebuttal to the idea that Seo and Komachi are gonna cause the explosion, which sounds honestly ridiculous, unless they're trying to kill themselves dramatically.

I would predict that scene with Komachi, the "secret meeting," is meant to look sinister but will turn out to not be. I really do believe Seo's a good person now.

Wait how is Mr. Kaichou manipulating the deaths? He'd have to know the cause of death to change the target, and there's no way he's as much of a meganerd as Satsuki.

Did I miss something? How did Satsuki overcome the Wasp sting? Was it just sheer strength of will?

I don't recall if class rep Seo had asthma or anything but one possibility is an inhaler for that. Beta-agonists and antihistamins would help Satsuki counteract any difficulty to breathe somewhat.

and some inhalers even have epinephrine in them, presumably working the same way as an epinephrine injector in a case of anaphylactic shock (though probably not as well)

He finds dangerous things, has a specific cause of death in mind, and then rearranges things until he sees a corpse

I was wondering when this would show up here—one of my current favorites.

It’s a little light on the romance, at least at present, but I find it to be consistently enjoyable.

And don’t let all the dark horror/violence tags put you off—they’re quite accurate, but the overall tone is rather lighter and there’s more comedy than those labels might suggest.

I've just read the first four chapters and I'm wondering where the light hearted comedy is

The comedy picks up as Satsuki befriends more people, though it's still fairly dark and there's a good amount of drama about.

I just realized, the way the student council president stages deaths is very similar to the way Tokiko staged her father's death in the author's previous manga, Walk In Death (although she didn't have any sort of supernatural vision to guide it). If there really is any sort of external force causing additional fated deaths it's probably tied to him, not Satsuki or anyone she's saved.

honestly i thought the class pres being a murderer would of improved the story but it ends up ruining the entire story cuz it just makes everything worse and also it stop focusing on what makes the story great which is figuring out how the person will die and preventing it, class pres just makes no sense since yeah some people do deserve to die like pedos and shit but he is going after a school bully who may be a fucking horrible person but she can still improve and he barely tries to stop her and telling her ''dont do it again or you'll be in trouble'' isnt trying to help her to improve its relying on the person to fix themselves which doesnt work since they dont know they are bad and also the fact no one believes her is also stupid because of the first death she prevents since theres not a single world where people hear this crazy girl go off about someones death and how they were gonna die and save their lives and not think she might be onto something and i feel like the series would be better if it was episodic instead of streamlined or something like tv shows were some things carry over like her friends but her saving a bunch of people doesnt so it still makes sense for people to be suspicous

I ended up dropping the series at chapter 58 because I wasnt enjoying it for a while

I doubt this is the end of the prez, I am not sure the story is strong enough as it is to continue without a clear antagonist. I doubt Seo won't be put in a bus at the end of this, and the vice president cannot really do much besides going full serial killer on them.

damn Seo really pulled an uno reverse card on 'em didn't she

that heel-face-heel turn she went through might've not been the most original way to go about it but i do think it fits well with the story overall. we're not sure whether her plan to do this stemmed all the way back from her pre- (fake-?) amnesia shittiness, or is more of a despair event horizon after being continuously targeted for murder despite trying her best to be a good person.

the former would make the betrayal sting more bc "she was playing them the whole time" whereas the latter would sting more bc "she tried so hard and could've truly changed if prez didn't self-fulfill his prophecy and made her snap in the end". Either way it's gonna hurt :,)

And it's easy to say prez had it coming for this but i do hope he survives. Rather he learns something from this whole thing than validating his philosophy retroactively by dying a death he at the very least indirectly provoked and drive Satsuki further into despair.

Chapter 70 is not yet up on Dynasty as I am typing this, so I'll just use a spoiler tag... Welp, it seems like the plot wants to paint Seo as this Keikaku Doori-type villain who hid her true intentions even in her inner monologue, but I am not really buying it so far. Also, no sympathy for President Blockhead, he got what was coming for him.

Man, I wish Satsuki punched her out instead of slapping her, it would've been been so much more satisfying.

Yup, the psycho deserved much worse than a slap. A few missing front teeth wouldn't kill her, is all I am saying.
