Bolded for emphasis, as I felt exactly the same way. I mean, yeah, he was a sick pervert, and he very well should have been expelled and arrested (cameras in the locker room?!). But the beating made those girls lose the moral authority IMO. If he had stolen one of their bras, would they have cut off his hands?

I don't know why, but I got the feeling that something deeper than what we saw there is happening, like we were only seeing it through Kazuma's eyes. It reminded me of X-2 with that little girl. I'll have to watch it again; I usually only comment about stuff after seeing it a couple of times.
