The Drifting Classroom by Kazuo Umezu is a horror manga from the 70's about an entire elementary school disappearing to a seemingly abandoned place in the middle of a desert. The only thing left in the school's place is a hulking crater. Will the inhabitances of the school be able to make their way back to their loved ones? Will they figure out where they currently are? When people start to lose their minds and thoughts to madness, can the others find ways to protect themselves?
This volume was wild! I didn't expect things to start happening the way they did. Like my last review, I don't want to say too much to spoil the story because this is a good story to go into blind.
Overall, The Drifting Classroom volume two was action filled, suspense filled, with wild horror-filled story telling. I'm giving this 5 stars out of 5.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5

This one was even worse than the first. The teachers were completely frantic and were not taking care of the kids at all, and the kids were 6yo to 12yo. Little kids! That was biggest problem in this volume: the teachers spiraling into madness. The second biggest problem was that literally the upperclassmen had to ration the food and water and serve it to every kid in the school, so 600 kids. Teachers didn't do crap. And they STILL didn't give us a clue as to what happened and how they got there.
It was revealed that they were transported to the future but no idea how or why just them or anything. So frustrating!
One of the teachers killed herself after the lunch duty person looked himself in the food room and killed another teacher and kid. While the teachers were having a massive breakdown, the kids rescued the kid who was held hostage and the food and locked the guy up, all by themselves. The teachers didn't do crap. And it didn't even take another 24 hours for the rest of the teachers to go insane. They literally started attacking each other and ultimately only one man was left and it was Sho's teacher. He was planning to kill the kids too!
On top of that, all the scenes with Sho's mom searching for him were honestly pointless and not very well done. That was not normal "grief" or whatever you want to call it.

I enjoyed this volume a lot more than the first one; there was still a lot of running around and screaming (do Japanese children do nothing else?!) but the story moved along quite quickly, especially after the revelation of what actually happened to the elementary school. Lots of people (mainly adults) die, but the introduction of Yu made everything better; he's the cutest toddler on a trike I ever saw. I want! Loved the ending; reminded me of what I just saw in an episode of Stranger Things: a grieving mother and her missing son reconnecting via a displaced phone call.
