After Giving a Fake Confession to Me, Who Just Wanted to Skip School, the Pranksters Suffered a Massive Backlash by Orimen

After Giving a Fake Confession to Me, Who Just Wanted to Skip School, the Pranksters Suffered a Massive Backlash Orimen https://kakuyomu.jp/works/2912051604668493030 Plot: The guy (the protagonist) targeted with a fake confession was something else. Knowing it was a fake confession, Tachibana Reo accepted it anyway. The reason was simple. He thought it would make the ultimate excuse to skip school. Online games over human relationships. Event progression over reality. For a boy like him, living a life of fake lovers wasn't painful—in a way, it was a convenient arrangement. However, those around him didn't see it that way. Exposed in front of the entire class, Reo ends up being viewed as a wounded victim. And the people who made a mockery of him had no idea what a massive price their actions would cost them.
