I feel conflicted abt this one bc it's a slow starter but it was honestly a good read if you get through it. I think it's less abt feeling a connection to these middle schoolers and moreso feeling compassion and understanding. I even teared up a bit. It's giving Your Name (anime) and After School Nightmare (manga). Some heavy topics
This is a story about kids who stop going to school, why, and how they grow to care for each other
