I enjoyed Prison School, from start to finish, in some way. Not always the same way, but I definitely found enjoyment in some way or other throughout reading it. So remember that while you read this review.

Some times, the characters act completely out of what they were established, creating a situation that turns out to be another comedic, nonsensical disaster. Maybe the only two fully consistent characters were the Vice-President and the Chairman. And I think that's ok, since it was always funny in the "what-the-hell-is-happening" kind of way, but not completely random. The ending to each story arc definitely was super entertaining, wondering how the characters would resolve their dilemmas, or how they wouldn't.

I think that while it may have been the author milking everything out of the setting and comedy since there were no more good ideas to come up with, I'm ok with the ending and everything leading up to it. Would I have liked to see more and have things play out differently? Yeah. I like to think (not saying everyone should accept it) that sometimes in school life things you thought were improtant don't amount to much, teenage boys are trash, girls can be dumb and petty (Hana), or kind and naive (Chiyo).

In the end, things didn't really matter that much, and I was ok with it. Maybe the whole story was a riff on how easily people, especially school kids, are swayed, can be mean over past events to others, or how they can't change their stubborn ways, or how easily they forget things that seemed important in the moment.

Prison School was a Good(7) read not because the story ended wrapped up nicely in a bow, but because it was ridiculous, had fun dialogue and comedy, with beatiful artwork at the cost of probably the most important things, the characters. Most of them were pretty bad people in some ways that never changed for the better, and that's the only thing that held this series back from being a 10/10.
