It is gross and grody and weird and very Ito, it just doesn't feel like it hits its full potential at any point.The Azawa Parents: The Azawara parents are present mainly in chapter three but are also mentioned and shown as decapitated heads in other chapters. Chizumi Azawa: Chizumi is another main character in Dissolving Classroom and is Yuuma's younger sister.
