Now, following an accident on the grounds of the middle school where she teaches, Yuko has given up and tendered her resignation. But first she has one last lecture to deliver. She tells a story that upends everything her students ever thought they knew about two of their peers, and sets in motion a diabolical plot for revenge. Narrated in alternating voices, with twists you'll never see coming, Confessions probes the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in danger. You'll never look at a classroom the same way again.

La pazienza di Yaoyoi, dolce e graziosa, si è rotta oggi in modo improvviso. Davanti al marito Kenji, che ha dilapidato tutti i suoi risparmi, Yaoyoi ha reagito strangolandolo con la cinghia dei pantaloni. Kenji ha tentato di difendersi, ma non ha avuto tempo. La scena è stata tragicamente buffa: il suo collo si piega all'indietro mentre le mani cercano disperatamente aiuto. Un uomo che beve, gioca, ignora i figli e picchia la moglie non merita di vivere. Dopo che Kenji è rimasto immobile, Yaoyoi ha controllato il suo collo per le pulsazioni e ha trovato solo silenzio. La macchia bagnata sui suoi pantaloni l’ha sorpresa, facendole ridere della propria forza e crudeltà. Con l'aiuto delle amiche Masako e Yoshie, ha trasportato il cadavere a casa di Masako, smembrandolo e gettando i resti in vari bidoni. Questo straordinario thriller segue quattro amiche—Yaoyoi, Masako, Yoshie e Kuniko—che lavorano in una fabbrica di cibi precotti. Insieme, scoprono il gusto della rivolta e il fascino del crimine, illuminando un mondo in cui la tradizione si rompe, proprio come la pazienza di Yaoyoi.
