Boku no Namae wa "Shounen A"
僕の名前は｢少年A｣
Synopsis
Former "Boy A," acquitted of murder, re-enters society haunted by his past and the truth behind the teacher's death.
A shocking crime has rattled the community: a teacher has been murdered, and the young suspect—known only as "Boy A" because of legal protections—claims he simply disliked the man. Behind the headlines, however, lies a story no one has heard. Freshly released from a juvenile facility and living under a new identity, the teenager once labeled Boy A struggles to rebuild an ordinary life while the shadow of that day refuses to fade. As whispers of the past echo around him, he faces the unsettling question of whether anyone can truly escape the weight of what has been done—or of what really happened that afternoon in the classroom.
