While I do understand the notions of this manga, I do feel that for this particular one, it fell a bit flat for me.

Personal Ratings : 3.75🌟

Dissolving Classroom tells on two siblings who are both weird on their own. Whenever they came to a new town, the brother will never stop apoligizing and the sister eats brain as a daily substance.

While I do get why Ito wrote this manga, in a sense as a satire for the people who told empty promises, its also, for me, not quite well-executed. With Ito's usual grotesque style, this manga was one that made me almost wanted to vomit, I had liked its fast paced style.

Will this be good for everyone? Obviously not. But if you do want to try Ito's lesser compelling works, you can try this one out.
