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.
