Happiness, Volume 1
Happiness, Volume 1 | Shuzo Oshimi
5 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
THE THIRST Nothing interesting in happening in Makoto Ozaki's first year of high school. HIs life is a serise of quiet humiliations: low-grade bullies, unreliable friends, and the constant frustration of his adolescent lust. But one night, a pale, thin girl knocks him to the ground in an alley and offers him a choice. Now everything is different. Daylight is searingly bright. Food tastes awful. And worse than anything is the terrible, consuming thirst. The tiny shames of his old life have been replaced by two towering horrors: the truth of what will slake his awful craving, and high school itself.

3.4⭐️ have you ever like some thing yet not like that at the same time. That is me with this particular manga. I love the graphics, the storyline and the gore that comes in this one. But it‘s very high school with some scenes that aren‘t the most appropriate for that setting. I mean , it‘s not R rated or anything… it‘s just a little off. Probably will still continue with this, unless it gets worse.

A creepy horror manga that is very much building the dread in this first volume. It does also have the uncomfortable horny boy trope very common in manga. I may continue this one as the art is excellent and I am interested to see where it will go. 4⭐️

Created by the same writer/artist as “Blood On The Tracks“ this 10 volume manga is a horror manga of Ozaki being attacked at night by a vampire. This is an incredible take on the vampire story, calling to mind “Let The Right One In.“ Everything that makes Oshimi great in “Blood On etc“ is perfected in here & unlike “Blood On etc“ it does not drag on. Absolutely fantastic.

Starting this manga series today. From the same person who wrote Flowers of Evil, it's a psychological horror manga serial with vampires, I believe.
