Comment by Joel on Jinsei Gyakuten ~Uwakisare, Enzai wo Kiserareta Orega, Gakuenichi no Bishoujo ni Natsukareru~ - Chapter 9

@Joel it's just a wish fulfillment fantasy type of story, relax

@Joel chill lad, this is just manga

@1 1 I think it could have been more plausible w/o changing the essence or progression of the story much:

- Make the school inclined to cover it up/avoid the problem generally to avoid bad PR. They don't act against MC for this reason, but also don't support him in any particular way.

- Give teacher a backstory where he got cheated on in the past, or hates popular guys, something like that. Something that gives him a vendetta and makes him more inclined than usual to back MC.

- Make bully antagonist less over the top cartoon villain in motivation. Still plenty of room for him to be a genuinely bad person w/o being "high school Skeletor" The mother backing her child strongly is reasonable. The cheater feeling bad but refusing to risk her own reputation by telling the truth is realistic (some people are actually that irredeemable, and this makes for a nice antagonist to hate).

As for random student reactions in school, I don't know. Someone was actually accused back when I was in high school. Unlike this story, only the two people there knew for sure. His friends backed him, hers backed her. The rest of the school broadly doubted him more than her, but didn't escalate to bullying. I was among his doubters and kept that to myself. I just didn't know either of them well enough. Now that I'm less naive, I just doubt them both in retrospect. Japan's culture might be so different that it would be very different there, no idea. Manga does not depict things accurately all the time, to put it mildly, and I don't have a pulse on what it's actually like there.
