Happiness, Vol. 4 by Shuzo Oshimi

5.0

Shuzo Oshimi is quickly becoming one of my favorite mangaka. The more of his work that I read, the more consumed I am with it. His art is both efficient and extravagant, and the stories that he tells are nuanced and gripping. All of his work that I’ve read has been shocking in some capacity, and the kind of shocking that claws into your mind - leaving you salivating at the thought of answers. There were moments where I found it near impossible to put it down Flowers Of Evil, despite how late it was getting. I feel the same way with this series. It started off slow but now I cannot look away.

After binging The Flowers of Evil completely on a whim, I think I’ll do the same with Happiness. I am caught hook, line, and sinker. If you like character-based dramas or vampires or both then you need this in your life. It’s not as niche of a series as it sounds. Read it.
