Sounds like the man's motivation for stabbing the female acquaintance is not clear. But fortunately, stabbing was not fatal. Hope she gets back on her feet soon.

Maybe he had a thing for her and she rejected him and he couldn't take it? Or maybe he's just psycho?

acquaintance: "a person that you have met but do not know well"

Apparently the woman was at the cram school to study and not to pick up random Japanese hunks.

Whodda thunk it!!

Scary stuff.... too many people out here who act impulsively. If this guy needed to blow off steam, he needed to find a healthier way to do it. Hope the lady recovers soon.

Why is the reason important? SMH

This may seem like a pessimistic or cynical view of Japanese society, but ask a Japanese men their opinion on the matter and, if they know you well enough to speak their mind, they will probably tell you rejection is very difficult for most Japanese men. Things are unlikely to change.
