惡の華 1

Review for the whole series

I'm seeing so many people trashing on this manga because of the way it begins, it starts with this guy that doesn't understand himself and does some pretty perverted stuff, and I'm not sure if people read this and to clean their conscience they rate it low, but that's just the cataclysm, the story evolves into something way more complex and thought-provoking, to explore a character that doesn't know where to fit in society and what to do with his impulses and emotions, he just has to find a place in this world, and here comes the second main character of the story that helps him start to develop that, it all then comes full circle in the last chapter which finishes the series in such a perfect way.

This is a story about self understanding and coming to good terms with your dark side, all through your environment and the people that you relate with, yes it has some overly dramatic and exaggerated moments but that's how manga tells its story sometimes, and it helps to bring emotion to the page, and yes it has some “weird Japanese stuff” but when you really understand it, It's not actually weird at all, and its just human nature.

Also, I have to mention the superb art, paneling, imagery and symbolism of the series.

Overall one of the best psychological manga I've read, 9/10.
