Maybe because they are happy-go-lucky or frequently on the computer with their anime things. I stopped watching anime a long time ago but I think anime posters are cute. I try to make some of the threads at odd times but I also have work and by the time I get home I have to write.

If you have an interesting character arc for the protagonist it could be fine. A lower middle-class girl going to an elite school is obviously going to run into social conflict on top of the other main conflict. Should work well for YA. A lot of YA is about self-discovery and challenging the status quo. Characters are asking the protag to return the status quo and for that genre I'd expect her to discover this status quo isn't what she wants. Up to you though, it could be the group behind the death is portrayed as a status quo and she's heroic for trying to expose it. If you give it some thought I'm sure it could be cool.
