The original Japanese title of the work is Otona wa Ijime wo Yamerarenai ~Jakusha no Seizon Senryaku~, which translates to Adults Cannot Stop Bullying: The Survival Strategy of the Weak. The narrative centers on the premise that bullying is not merely a problem among children but a deep-seated structural issue in Japanese society that extends pervasively into adult life, particularly within the professional world.

The story investigates specific cases of this systemic problem through the actions of two young individuals who are determined to reform society and challenge these entrenched power dynamics. The setting moves between the conventional social hierarchy of Japanese workplaces and other environments where adult bullying occurs, exploring the psychological and social mechanisms that allow harassment to persist. The protagonists serve as agents of change, employing strategies for survival and resistance against their adult aggressors. The series is classified as a dramatic seinen work, aiming at an adult readership with its serious and grounded examination of social cruelty. The narrative arcs focus on deconstructing individual cases of adult bullying, showcasing the methods used by the two main characters to expose wrongdoing and protect the vulnerable, ultimately striving to demonstrate a path toward changing a society that often normalizes such behavior.
