MyDramaList figures checked . See it there. How we read these.

Is it worth it

Eight episodes of forty minutes with nothing wasted in any of them. It looks like a school fight show and it is actually about a boy who is very good at hurting people and very bad at keeping anyone. The violence is ugly rather than cool, which is exactly why the last episode lands the way it does. It is also relentless and offers no relief anywhere. Watch it in one sitting, and do not expect season two to do the same job.

With the aid of unexpected friends, a gifted but introverted student confronts bullies and violent foes — unaware of how dangerous his world will become.

Hooks early Episode 1. Eight episodes, zero filler, and the first fight tells you exactly what kind of show this is.
