In this twist-laden trilogy closer set in repressive Education City, built around youth indoctrination, a final standoff between the rebel Truancy youth movement and the Government-created Student Militia turns into an uneasy alliance to face an external adult threat. Stock characters populate the large cast, and the plot careens more than unfolds, but Fukui's anti-violence message is emotionally resonant.
