About this webtoon

The classroom is no longer a safe place. Teachers' authority has already hit rock bottom in the face of verbal abuse, mockery, and twisted power dynamics. Adults bow their heads to the bullying of parents and have become powerless in the face of student violence. It is in this very collapsed space that the 'Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau' stands, and its supervisor, Na Hwa-jin, walks into the school. He shows no mercy. For those who have done wrong, neither status, background, nor age can serve as a shield. The setting of this work does not remain in one place. With every episode, a new school and a new incident unfold. From school violence that drives teachers into corners, to entrance exam corruption entangled with money and grades, and bullying that tramples on the weak—topics you may have glimpsed in the news at least once are brought to life as vivid stories. Na Hwa-jin is not deceived by the surface of the incidents; instead, he digs deep into the underlying structures and the true perpetrators to the very end. The chilling sensation of peeling back layers of a seemingly normal school, and the gratifying satisfaction of him confronting problems head-on with a hardline approach, alternate with overwhelming intensity. The driving force of the story is not merely the pleasure of retribution. Questions such as "What is true education?" and "Is fighting violence with violence justified?" underlie every episode, leaving the reader to ponder deeply long after the satisfying read. The backstories of each character are far from simplistic. Even the perpetrators have their own backgrounds, and the victims' wounds do not easily fade even after the incident is over. The artwork is also a major strength of this work. By imbuing emotions into the characters' expressions and eyes, tension, anger, and catharsis are conveyed beyond the screen even without dialogue. The fast-paced cuts in action scenes heighten immersion, and the catharsis of the plot twists following the relentless portrayal of the villains' true nature is cited as a key factor in its popularity. If you are a reader looking to enjoy both a weighty story that tackles social issues head-on and action-packed thrills that relieve frustration, you will find it hard to put down from the very first chapter. ※ The Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau in this work is a fictional organization, not a real institution. It contains depictions of strong violence and corporal punishment, and there has been controversy regarding the portrayal of certain episodes and their views on education.
