Happiness (OSHIMI Shuzo)

Complete | OSHIMI Shuzo | 2000 released

Absolutely a fucking rollercoaster of a story. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I honestly read this all in one sitting and truly didn't get tired once. The story has so many ups and downs with twists and bends and ends rather bitter sweet, which is to be expected of a horror/thriller manga. The art was stunning and instils a great deal of emotion with few words, and for that, the story-telling is 10/10 for me. With that being said, the story was so well thought out and executed that I was honestly at a loss for words. The characters are so deep and endearing and redeemable, it's borderline insane in a good way. Everyone had their role, too. The amount of time that the manga takes place in is really crucial to the development of the characters as well. Just wow, it'll be a long time before I read such a fantastic story again. Cannot recommend this enough. If you can stand some gore and nudity, then even if you're not a thriller/horror fan, still give this a read. I nearly cried at so many moments, and I NEVER cry over any manga. I get emotional but never so far as to drop tears over it. SO GOOD, UGH.
