Aku no Hana (2013)
惡の華

Aku no Hana

Kasuga was a boy who loved to read. he admired a girl named Saeki in school, often watching her from a distance. one day heading home from school, he realized he left behind a book and ran back pick it up. reaching the classroom, he found not only his book, but also Saeki's gym uniform. on an inpulse, he stole it. after everyone knew some "pervert" stole Saeki's uniform, Kasuga was filled with guilt. to make the matter worst, a creepy girl in class named Nakamura saw him took the uniform.

despite the lacking of entertaining art, the haunting atmosphere made the series interesting by playing with our curiosity. the uneasy tension hung in the air throughout the series. in some disturbing way, the realism made it completely relatable. one impulsive action could lead to another ugly situation one way or another. the desperation and emotions were clearly portrayed as the series progressed. it was surprising to say that the series had such a great plot that it could easily get away with its drawings.
