Dear Brother (Oniisama e...)
Also known as: おにいさまへ…
Sixteen-year-old Nanako Misonoo enters prestigious Seiran Academy expecting promise, only to face a cruel labyrinth of jealousy and deception. Selected for the exclusive Sorority despite lacking its members' grace and wealth, she becomes the target of envious peers, particularly fierce Aya Misaki. Through letters to her beloved former teacher 'onii-sama' and support from four loyal friends, Nanako endures relentless bullying and social torment in this raw portrayal of adolescent suffering.
