Me encantó。 Fue diferente a los otros volúmenes y todo lo qué pasó anteriormente se demuestra en las acciones de Takao ahora。 Podemos ver más sus sentimientos y como realmente se siente sin estar dependiendo de las emociones de los demás。 Aunque ahora tiene a otra chica， siento que él no depende tanto de ella o tal vez sí。 Pero este volumen superó mis expectativas y le dio depth a la historia。

The gut-wrenching psychological breakdown that is the first two volumes of Flowers of Evil mellows out into what can almost be considered a teenage romance combined with a reflection on what it means to love someone and try to move on from them。 Kasuga is a fascinating protagonist and seeing him deal with the scars from the first half of the series while trying to grow yet still haunted by his past has me absolutely hooked。 While I feel Oshimi's strength is in the storytelling and character mome The gut-wrenching psychological breakdown that is the first two volumes of Flowers of Evil mellows out into what can almost be considered a teenage romance combined with a reflection on what it means to love someone and try to move on from them。 Kasuga is a fascinating protagonist and seeing him deal with the scars from the first half of the series while trying to grow yet still haunted by his past has me absolutely hooked。 While I feel Oshimi's strength is in the storytelling and character moments that happen during the ulcer-inducing dramatic moments seen in the chapters before this， he manages to write what feels like a real， conflicted teenage crush。 And of course the horrifying note it ends on threatens to rip away whatever happiness he has left。 I can't wait to see how this ends。 。。。more

I thought it was really wonderful to see how Kasuga was able to pull himself out of his own head and start acting like his life really mattered。 （view spoiler）[The scene were he proclaims to his parents， “I’m home，” followed by the look of surprise and joy in their faces really drove this point home in a powerful way。 （hide spoiler）]The only thing left to see is how Kasuga finally manages to reconcile with his past。 I’m looking forward to the conclusion of this series。 I thought it was really wonderful to see how Kasuga was able to pull himself out of his own head and start acting like his life really mattered。 （view spoiler）[The scene were he proclaims to his parents， “I’m home，” followed by the look of surprise and joy in their faces really drove this point home in a powerful way。 （hide spoiler）]The only thing left to see is how Kasuga finally manages to reconcile with his past。 I’m looking forward to the conclusion of this series。 。。。more

Vol 7 - 4/5The series went in a totally different direction than I was expecting。 From the way the last volume ended， it almost looked like Kasuga and Nakamura were about to kill someone or themselves。 There was a time skip where they separated and Kasuga changed back to his quiet， reclusive self。 He met a new girl that loves reading as much as he once did， could this be a new beginning for our once hopeless pervert？***Vol 8 - 4/5I’m actually enjoying this less chaotic part of the story。 Kasuga Vol 7 - 4/5The series went in a totally different direction than I was expecting。 From the way the last volume ended， it almost looked like Kasuga and Nakamura were about to kill someone or themselves。 There was a time skip where they separated and Kasuga changed back to his quiet， reclusive self。 He met a new girl that loves reading as much as he once did， could this be a new beginning for our once hopeless pervert？***Vol 8 - 4/5I’m actually enjoying this less chaotic part of the story。 Kasuga has a semblance of normalcy and happiness， yet his past still haunts him。 Everything was beginning to look brighter for him until Saeki showed up and opened old wounds。 How will he handle this？ Will he go back to his old ways？ Or will he embrace his new life？***Vol 9 - 4/5I’m really enjoying this new side of Kasuga。 He’s actually sympathetic and relatable now even after all of the horrible and bizarre things he did when he was younger。 It’s interesting to see such a gross character getting such a major redemption and turn around。 He’s much more brave and confrontational now， he doesn’t run from his problems anymore。 I hope he keeps this new attitude up。 。。。more

I'm hoping for a "happy ending" to this series that has made me think of perversion and humanity so constantly。 It has been great so far with cliffhangers at the end of every book。 But its definitely worth the read。 I'm hoping for a "happy ending" to this series that has made me think of perversion and humanity so constantly。 It has been great so far with cliffhangers at the end of every book。 But its definitely worth the read。 。。。more

After a quick chapter to resolve last volume's （view spoiler）[suicide pact （hide spoiler）] cliffhanger， there is a jump in time and space。 Kasuga's parents have moved him away from the town where the actions of Kasuga and the two girls involved a romantic triangle with him caused such a shameful uproar。 Now in high school， Kasuga keeps to himself and maintains a low profile until a fellow bookworm starts to pull him out of his shell。 After having gone so far over the top， the creator pulls back After a quick chapter to resolve last volume's （view spoiler）[suicide pact （hide spoiler）] cliffhanger， there is a jump in time and space。 Kasuga's parents have moved him away from the town where the actions of Kasuga and the two girls involved a romantic triangle with him caused such a shameful uproar。 Now in high school， Kasuga keeps to himself and maintains a low profile until a fellow bookworm starts to pull him out of his shell。 After having gone so far over the top， the creator pulls back and spins a more traditional shojo romantic arc for this section of the story。 There is darkness around the edges， of course， but having followed a Catcher in the Rye storyline of teen alienation in the first two volumes， this one seems to be exploring the possibility of repentance and redemption à la Crime and Punishment。I wish I had the next volume right now。 Must be patient。。。 。。。more
