The New York Times bestselling teen romance series featuring volumes 7-9 combined into one oversized edition. Fans will be delighted to reconnect with bookworm Takao Kasuga, pretty and smart Nanako Saeki, and class weirdo Sawa Nakamura as these characters navigate middle school, love, finding their own identities, and Baudelaire's poetry.
The second combined edition of The Flowers of Evil features volumes 4-6 and follows the adventures of a lonely, bookish teen struggling to find his identity through Baudelaire's poetry, until two girls - a beauty and a bully - help him discover true love and friendship.
Only in his mid-thirties, Shuzo Oshima is already considered a seasoned veteran of the Japanese comics community. Winner of the most important comics awards for newcomers, the Tetsuya Chiba Awad in 2001, Oshima has been penning quirky slice-of-life dramas now for over a decade for major manga publishers including Kodansha. After drawing nine series, Oshimi's star began to rise in 2008 with the release of his first hit, Drifting Net Cafe. This horror-themed homage to the legendary Kazu Umezzo work, Drifting Classroom, was adapted into a live-action series, and propelled Oshimi onto an international stage. He would soon reach new heights in 2009 with The Flowers of Evil. In 2010 and 2011, the property quietly landed on numerous must-read lists and helped revitalize the shonen genre.
