Aku no Hana Storytime #1 Aku No Hana 04/26/2025 (Sat) 13:46:37 Id: f5eb5f No. 59918
I want to share one of my favorite "coming of age" manga with you guys so I will try my hand at doing a daily chapter dump of it. Discussion is extremely encouraged but i realize that it's very hard to talk about anything without spoiling the events of the story. Please use spoilers when you want to point out things that are foreshadowed or haven't happened yet so that potential new readers can have a good time. For first time readers of Aku no Hana, enjoy the ride! Don't be intimidated by anons posting possible paragraphs worth of spoiler text; it's the nature of this work. The Flowers of Evil (Japanese: 惡の華, Aku no Hana) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shūzō Oshimi. The story follows a middle school student named Takao Kasuga who's forced into a "contract" by fellow student Sawa Nakamura, after being caught stealing the gym clothes of his crush Nanako Saeki, and the series of events afterwards that follow these three characters.

>>59979 >Takao barely passing and being mostly average is pretty uhh normal. Its a classic /lit/ trope for someone to fail at real academics but to obsess over trying to read complex philosophical literature to look clever. My post was a bit referential to that.

>>60003 That's the correct attitude to have towards him and to an extend the rest of the cast. From reading. From reading opinion pieces ages ago, many people couldn't stand the characters being unlike-able but i personally never found that to be true.

>>60009 That's certainly an opinion. The problem is that the he essentially harmed everyone in his hometown thanks to his actions and he has no excuse for his actions unlike Nakamura.

>>60013 Nakamura clearly has a backstory that the manga intentionally refuses to elaborate (her family) and last storytime on /a/ guess whether her father or mother is responsible for it. Kasuga only has a boring life living in an isolated location and only that but it doesn't excuse his actions. In honesty, I don't forgive him for breaking Saeki nor traumatising innocent children by flashing a knife at them and trying to commit suicide by fire with Nakamura. I do agree he's a just stupid kid though.
Aku No Hana 04/26/2025 (Sat) 15:04:18 Id: f5eb5f No. 60035
>>60021 You stance is perfectly acceptable i think. I guess i'm more forgiving towards the parts of him where i relate. It's very hard to put a line where improper behavior begins and mental illness starts, especially if we are blaming people for their actions.

What's the point of dumping a manga? If you have something to say about it then just say it. If someone dumps something that effectively locks me out of discussing it for the entire duration of the dump since its such a terrible format for discussion.

>>61077 As said in the OP, the idea is more to share the manga with people. Maybe a chance for someone to re-read it because i personally think it can be very revealing, but mostly to introduce it to new people that for any reason haven't read it yet. You don't have to feel locked out of discussing anything about it if everybody is respectful about spoilers. If anything i think dumping a manga is one of the better excuses to start discussing it.
Anonymous 04/27/2025 (Sun) 13:53:43 Id: 51adfb No. 61104
>>61099 >the idea is more to share the manga with people Then make a convincing argument to read it because personally you have convinced me not to read it. What effort is there in just dumping a manga? Its just lazy and boring. Functionally, there is no difference between what you're doing and just linking mangadex here and demanding to know what we thought about it. In my opinion its shitposting.

If it's annoying you on top of just feeling it's not for you then feel free to report it for shitposting i guess.

>>61077 I really like the daily dump threads. You get the experience of a reading a manga together with others which is nice. I'd compare it to having a book club but with much higher "thoroughness" since you can consider and discuss each page in a way you wouldn't if you meet up after finishing a book. Also, I don't have any IRL friends who read manga..

He's the first person who she's able to push around and for whom her little routine works.

>>66212 I liked it. I feel like I speed read it, but I guess that comes with binge reading, here's some stuff I liked. Kasuga's arc going from delinquent to weird quiet guy to normal guy. How part 2 feels so different to part 1, complete with the season changing from summer to winter and ending in spring. Saeki's good girl going bad thing. She's honestly more perverted than Nakamura, forcing herself on him in another girl's panty tent and changing her hair to look more like Nakamura. Didn't care for Nakamura's reasoning in part 1, but I like how much she mellowed out while retaining her personality. The run up to the suicide felt really romantic. The I'm home and beach scenes really made me smile. That town really fucking sucks. Kouji lost his gf on Christmas eve and the translator got his name wrong, but Kinoshita still suffers more.
Aku No Hana 05/10/2025 (Sat) 09:45:32 Id: 94532b No. 66518
>>66508 Glad you enjoyed. By re-reading it I've come to appreciate the second part more and more. It feels like that's the story the author really wants to tell. I still love the first part and many scenes from it. As opposed to the start of it, the end of adolescence is hard to define. People do it on their own terms, at their own pace. I love how it tried to show different levels of existential angst through it all. What I love about Kasuga is that he really has no excuse for acting the way he acts. There is no tragic backstory to make him a "relatable villain" early on, yet to me his reasons make sense. Striving for authenticity is certainly a huge task, and the teenage years cruel in many ways. Setting aside good or bad Saeki was just a lot more conformist in her needs. The need to appeal, connect and relate to other people exists within every one, even someone like Nakamura, who was elated when she "discovered" another deviant she could share the burden of her existence with. But yes the lengths Saeki goes through to try and connect with Kasuga were very dramatic. In a way he was what Nakamura was to him. I hope she "killed her ghost" in the end. Nakamura went from being a bit annoying and unlikable to me wanting to hug her by the end of it (she'd hate it). Her reasons were always mostly vaguely understood but she remained a mystery due to the severity of it. It becomes more clear at the very end. Many scenes with her and Kasuga are purposefully romantic. You can interpret them vandalizing their classroom as a sex scene between them, especially from her warped point of view and her thoughts about sex and the ideal of relationships. The final beach scene is my absolute favorite scene in the manga. It parallels the classroom scene in many ways, the future having to confront the past and generally an amazing ending before the epilogue. I will have to watch out for the translation quality. I think you read the fan translation which had him named Touji(?) for a while. The official translation also shits the bed near the end of part 1 in which case I will probably provide the fan translation which did a better job for some lines. Edited for spoilers, hopefully.

>>66609 >Boredom is really interesting to analyze It really isn't. It's just attachment seeking stimulation, due a lack of discipline and goal oriented behavior combined with an abundance of ignorance. Baudelaire himself was heavily ridiculed throughout the 19th century as an immature and destructive sex pest, appropriate for the French, that didn't really see recognition until the 20th century in which the grotesque became a trendy mechanism for temporarily arresting the banality I assume morons experience daily, and debauchery became synonymous with being an artist. People really like to namedrop philosophers and artists without understanding their work, like a dunning kruger buzzword that somehow gives their comments authenticiy.

>>66753 Judging by the full quote and paragraph, and focusing less on the topic of Kierkegaard's boredom (Ennui or Acedia); It's interesting that it comes from the chapter about virtues. On one hand, a warning that mindless virtue following leads to dangerous and dull conformity, on the other hand Honesty being a virtue that even the ideal of the Übermensch, who create their own values and don't blindly conform, is a virtue they would be unable to get rid of (and shouldn't). Honesty and living authentically are closely tied to the "mood" of the spiritual boredom that would permeate somebody's existence. The root of it being spiritual and emotional isolation and enclosure from other people and inability of true self understanding. It all ties back to the concept of deviancy. Just my random thoughts.
