I just finished episode 5 and so far it's just Ayumu getting beaten to ****. Sorry but it's sooooooo stupid. I can't watch it without going "OMFG, what is wrong with you?! Just stand up and fight back, don't just sit there and take the abuse smile and go home! Do something!!!"
In reality, no girl would take that crap.
In reality...many many many girls (and BOYS) and if you are a girl and were put in that position you would take it and that's the end of it. You're one against 5...do you really think you stand a chance? You'd rather just take what they give you without a fight because you could expect to get more and far worse and probably from more of their crew in future if you were able to hit one of them.
You have to be realistic about it and you're system isn't.
People find it better in the long run to take the abuse with a smile because people get bored and then ignore you and leave it at that or torture you for a bit, but when they can't get any emotion or reaction out of you they dump the idea.

You would be surprised. This **** actually happens just not usually on this level. Some people can't stand up for themselves. Besides their society is a bit different than the US.
I don't know what you mean about different. If society was that different then people wouldn't get bullied in the US or they would get bullied in the US but not in Japan. Apparently society is not different, and normally not the reaction of the weak.
Only in the US those who are being bullied are known to react violently...extremely violently. Take for instance Columbine. I hate that most people, especially the adults, were like look at these kids what were they're parents teaching them. Or they attacked K-mart for selling the guns. No one said anything about the high school atmosphere. I'm not saying all teenagers do it, but some teenagers react this way. I know many kids had kill lists in my school because of the bullying they were getting.
Those Columbine boys were known as being bullied by jocks regularly and mistreated and no one did a damn thing to help them or make it stop. It just kept going on. A lot of people were blaming music which was non-sense no one even looked at the school and every school in the US kids are bullied. No one is the exception. If someone doesn't like you, a group of others will make fun of you, torture you and pretty much make your life a living hell. Those Columbine kids reacted by doing taht and the infamous movie entitled BULLY which was based on a true story of Florida teens killing a kid who was bullying them.
Some reactions are less violent than others, but in the end the one bullied will always live with that pain and it's a pain that doesn't go away, unfortunately.
It also all depends on the person who's getting bullied. I, myself, would take it for a little while but then would eventually get angry enough to say something back. It all depends on what someone is doing to me.
In my church (which should NOT be happening) my sisters are getting bullied. One girl there is spreading rumors about them (and me too but I am older so now I'm in a different class than they are so it doesn't effect me as much) and she is CONSTANTLY talking about us. She's been lying to everyone and now everyone believes her (don't know what the stupid rumor is but it can't be true seeing as we've never done anything wrong to her). We only heard little pieces and are guessing what it is. Anyway, everyone treats my sisters like they had a disease. Whenever the teachers come in, all of the sudden they're acting like they're my sisters' best friends. The bullying isn't THAT bad but bad enough to make my sisters feel annoyed and uncomfortable around them. It's Church for pete's sake! We homeschool so we don't know how bad it is at school. I'll bet it's way worse. <--- We live in Canada. Anyway, this show has taught me a lot and I can actually feel (sort of) what Ayumu is/was going through.
I also know for a fact that there are some girls who would react to the bullying like Ayumu did. Me and my sisters get picked on because we seem nice. Actually, people often get intimidated by me (especially girls and guys who are younger than me) so they don't do too much when I'm around (just completely ignore us). However, when I'm not around, they act like total jerks to my sisters. The girl spreading the rumors even got when of the teachers on her side (since the teacher tutors her on a regular basis) so now my sisters have an even harder time.
Anyway, my sisters and I only take a certain about of verbal abuse. If they were to physically attempt to abuse us, we'd fight back for sure. Same with the verbal abuse. Anymore of that, and they better watch out. We just don't want any problems but we will stand up if they push us enough.

I'm confused for a part on LIFE. I thought Ayumu's best friend, Shii-chan had committed suicide. How come near the end, Shii-chan was on the bus...TWICE?! My sister and I are soooo confused. Please help!

In episode 2, the first 4 minutes of the episode showed that Ayumu went to Shii-chan's house w a bouquet of flowers. You can see from that plot, Shii-chan had only injured her hand (she didn't kill herself). & also It seems that, from the conversation that Ayumu & Shii-chan had, Ayumu had been visiting her a lot to ask for forgiveness
The plot where Shii-chan was on the bus was just to show that she doesn't hate Ayumu that much as b4. That's just my guess..

Wow. I just finished watching this drama today. I marathoned through it. I wasn't sure if I actually was going to make it. I really wanted to smash Mana's face against the wall. Never have I watched a show that made my blood boil. It was so hard watching Ayumu suffer so much. I'd really like there to be a second season. The ending scene, just didn't quite do it for me.
Anyhow, I'm definitely going to start reading the manga, since i've read here it's ongoing. Can anyone tell me how far into it the drama goes? I'm just curious how much the drama covers.

Life's gota b the most dark, deep, deviant, intense, intriguing, interesting drama i've watched. There's adrenaline rush nearly every second. And heart beating faster than the thumping background music.
Ayumu's a budding young actress. Not pretty at first sight but indeed has the kawaii n innocent look, which makes her much more acceptable for guys n girls.
Mana's simply the **** of the bitches. Very well cast for the role. Watched her in Daisuki first and thought she already looked evil eventhough the role didn't call for it.

Oh! Thank you very much! That cleared up so much of my blondness. Usually I catch on but that one scene you mentioned of Ayumu visitng Shii-chan really confused me. For some dumb reason I was thinking it was a flashback (again, it was a blond moment). I don't usually pay attention to the dates because I always get lost and forget what each date is anyway during the scenes My sister didn't get the scene I mentioned either Well that really helped me. Thanks.
I too want to see more. At the very least they should do a special. That would help with the dumb ending. Anyway, such an awesome drama other than the ending ^^ Sako-kun (or as I call him, Psycho-kun) totally creeped me out. Seriously. I've never been so creeped out before. Plus, his twitches are contagious (me and my sister kept on doing them whenever and wherever without even realizing it). And the music adds the creepy effect. The music was also well done for the rest of the drama. Made me think of the Liar Game music ^^
Anyway, that's my rant for the day....I think O.O

I'm looking for the 18th volume of the LIFE manga; the last one released. Does anyone know where I can find it either scanned or for sale with decent shipping. Amazon japan wants me to pay 3000 yen shipping for a 450 yen book. unbelievable.
