Damn these edgy teenage boys and their hierarchy game, if this is in real life and I was azusa? IN AN INSTANT I WOULD CALL THE PRINCIPAL, THE TEA ER, MY FUCKING OWN PARENTS OR THE FUCKING POLICE!!!! Ain’t no one gonna try and treat me like shit for a game I didn’t even want to be in in the FIRST FUCKING PLACE. PERIAAADDDDDD
I would do the same as you if i was in Azusa's place, but if I was Azusa? I would not do that... Azusa's main motivation in his life is his mom, his mom cares and loves very deeply about Azusa and he also cares and loves her very deeply (Karino even mocked Azusa about this). Azusa's mom is fearful that he could receive bullying due to her job (we all know that she's a prostitute), so he soothes her and tells her that he's very popular at school and that he has many friends there, making her feel at ease. He wants to make her proud and he doesn't want to worry her. He also doesn't want his mom to get involve in all this, specially because she would blame herself.
Let's not forget that Azusa and his mom are actually very poor and this school has kid's in powerful families, they could literally destroy Azusa if you mess up with their sons, if being known by the authorities about Azusa mom's job she could get in trouble, and it would be his word against all the school (who may probably not want to stop the game, due to fear, power, fun, etc... Even mob mentality). Also, Azusa trying to rely on others instead of taking care of himself... Is something that he hardly could do (we saw it in the latest chapter with him trusting Karino... And after it I really doubt he will trust in anyone else... Ever. They really destroyed something inside of him this time...)
And let's not forget how they have told us in the story that the teachers are aware of the game too, but they do not stop it, and about that target that tried to stop it calling outsiders (maybe the police, his parents, etc...) but he had an unexpected "accident" falling of the window.
If I were in Azusa's position (with this meaning being a target) I would try to stop it, expose it or runaway too. But if I was Azusa... I think I will just try to survive while trying to retain my pride & without losing myself.











Now I kinda wish my parents were this accepting from my past relationships haha
