Critics Review

“It is often darkly funny, with Oshimi delivering what would be ‘jokes’ in other manga with a straightforward sincerity that may or may not be deadpan. It’s an uncomfortable funny, akin to the funny parts in, say, David Lynch movies.” –Every Day Is Like Wednesday

About The Author

Shuzo Oshimi

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 Award 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.
