The Flowers of Evil (Aku no Hana) is a dark tale about gym clothes, blackmail, teenage drama and the desire to do something different.The Protagonist of this tale is Takao Kasuga, a keep-your-head-down middle schooler from the rural town of Gunma, Japan. He has friends, gets less than average grades, and respects his parents. He also a passion for reading books, inherited from his father. Of his many-volumed collection, the crown jewel is the prized first edition of "Les Fleurs du Mal" by Charles Baudelaire.On an average day much like any other, Kasuga returns to school after forgetting above mentioned book, when he stumbles across the gym clothes of his crush, Nanako Saeki. In an abnormal fit of lust, he steals them and takes them home. The following day, the school lights up with Gossip Evolution as to who the pervert is. Overwhelming shame forces Kasuga to further hide his crime. On his ride home, he is stopped by Sawa Nakamura, residential evil quiet girl and his worst nightmare come true. She knows about his crime and will expose him if he does not fulfill a contract. From there, things get crazy.The manga, written and illustrated by Shuzo Oshimi, was serialized in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine from 2009 to 2014. An anime adaptation directed by Hiroshi Nagahama and produced by ZEXCS premiered on April 15, 2013. The manga was also adapted into a film in 2019.Now has a character page under construction.Not to be confused with the Korean manhwa, or the Korean Drama Flower of Evil.

All Men Are Perverts | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Nakamura seems to think so. Kasuga's actions aren't exactly making this point seem frivolous. The only thing Kasuga's friends in both middle school and high school ever seem to talk about is sex, so the manga itself doesn't exactly put the kibosh on this notion. Of course... | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Episode 7, when Kasuga destroys the classroom with Nakamura. Although he wrote his name on the chalkboard, its covered by paint, so no one aside from Saeki realizes that he was responsible for it, and she only knew because he drew that flower on the book he bought her. | |

Relationship Upgrade | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_161f1ebf | comment |
Relationship Upgrade: In episode 5, Kasuga asks Saeki to enter into a pure relationship with him. Much to his surprise, and probably Nakamura's as well, who's watching nearby, she accepts. Interestingly enough, he tries to break it off with her at the end of episode 8/beginning of 9. However, she refuses to do so, and seems to care about him despite all the things that seem to be going on in his life. After Kasuga's Anguished Declaration of Love in Chapter 45 of the manga, Kasuga and Tokiwa are now officially dating. | |

| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Kasuga starts out as a pathetic boy, at first afraid to admit his sins...then embracing them too much. He even becomes bold enough to talk back to the police, with predictable results. After the time skip, he continues on this path, even managing to confess his love to his new crush, Tokiwa, and becomes more empathetic to the people surrounding him. | |

Character Development: Kasuga starts out as a pathetic boy, at first afraid to admit his sins...then embracing them too much. He even becomes bold enough to talk back to the police, with predictable results. After the time skip, he continues on this path, even managing to confess his love to his new crush, Tokiwa, and becomes more empathetic to the people surrounding him. While at first Nakamura seems like evil incarnate, we learn that she feels just as trapped by the town as Kasuga, if not more so, and just wanted a friend who understood her. Later events cause her to realize the damage she's doing to her only friend. It culminates in her shoving Kasuga off the stage when they're about to commit public suicide, wanting him to live and be normal. Saeki is drawn to Kasuga for his honesty and eventually starts dating him. When she finds out about his pact with Nakamura, she get so desperate that she rapes Kasuga in order to convince him of her love. | |

Small Town Boredom | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_41dce76e | comment |
Small Town Boredom: One of the underlying problems the main characters face. Kasuga's monologues state how the isolated nature of the town disturbs him, the surrounding mountains making it hard to run away, the close-knit community making it hard to hide from people, and the old closed-up buildings making it look like a Ghost Town. Nakamura herself is bored and frustrated with the town as well, with how she doesn't fit in due to her isolated nature. This leads to them seeking "the other side" as an escape from the monotony. After leaving the town post time-skip, Kasuga starts recovering from his insanity. Saeki and even Nakamura also seem much more stable after they left. | |

Sanity Slippage: At the end of episode 7, Kasuga seems to be slipping down the morality slope a bit, after he initially refuses to write that he's a pervert and thief on their classroom chalkboard. He then does it largely out of frustration, and seems to be enjoying destroying the classroom with her. | |

Replacement Goldfish: Saeki accuses Kasuga of using Tokiwa as a replacement for Nakamura during her "The Reason You Suck" Speech. But after the events of Chapter 45, it's surprisingly leaning towards a "no". It's implied that Saeki has done this with her boyfriend Koizumi, who looks and acts quite a bit like an older version of Kasuga's middle school self. | |

Always Save the Girl | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_64edb99c | comment |
Always Save the Girl: Kasuga's reasoning of why he starts looking for "the other side" in town, to the point of going against his classmates, parents, and even the police, is because he wants to help make the lonely and isolated Nakamura happy. In the end, he fails and he makes no one happy. This contributes to his angst post-Time Skip. | |

Cannot Spit It Out | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_653c5c73 | comment |
Cannot Spit It Out: One of the main themes behind the manga. None of the characters are good at spitting out their feelings, either because of shyness or social pressure that comes from living in a small town, which leads them to performing depraved acts to express them instead. Kasuga liked Saeki but lacked the courage to approach her on his own, leading him to steal her gym clothes, kick-starting the whole plot. Later he was unable to confess that he has them, fearing the social isolation he would face. This leads to Nakamura blackmailing him into forming a pact with her, with it being implied later that she also liked him but was unable to say it as well. Post-Time Skip, when he finally does spit it out to Tokiwa (the third girl he's been interested in), he does so while she's at work. In front of her boyfriend. The incredible thing? It works. The act signals his growth as a character, and how he's finally able to be honest with his feelings. | |

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Well, no guesses to as who belongs here, but it's not just Nakamura. Kasuga does some really strange things out of his own free will. Saeki rapes Kasuga. Both of them are in middle school. If you can think about that in-depth for more than a second without needing Brain Bleach, you have some serious mental fortitude. | |

| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_7d89315b | comment |
Saeki accuses Kasuga of using Tokiwa as a replacement for Nakamura during her "The Reason You Suck" Speech. But after the events of Chapter 45, it's surprisingly leaning towards a "no". | |

Sex Is Evil | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_7dad519f | comment |
Sex Is Evil: Played with, although it's more like Evil is Sex. Nakamura's idea of perversion has as much to do with her hostility and lack of empathy with everyone as with sex; she sees Kasuga's (sexual) interest in Saeki's gym clothes as evidence that he too is depraved like her. Later, Kasuga and Nakamura embark on an escalating campaign of anti-social acts in order to become the "ultimate perverts". | |

Status Quo Is God: A big theme of the story is about breaking away from this. Kasuga is caught between not wanting to break down the status quo, but at the same time thinks of himself as different from his peers. It eventually culminates into his speech about being hollow and empty to Saeki and Nakamura, who represent following society's expectations and breaking away from them respectively. | |

Nakamura is also implied to be this to Kasuga. She forcibly strips him and forces him to strip himself repeatedly, gets some kind of sick pleasure out of watching him wear Saeki's gym clothes while on a date with her, seems to derive... enjoyment out of inflicting physical pain on him, holds his hand towards the end of their time together, is said by Saeki to be shaking from shock after she learns from her that she had sex with Kasuga, and goes as far as smashing his dad's kneecap with a metal baseball bat when she learns that he's keeping him from her. The classroom vandalism scene also has some sexual overtones and symbolism. | |

Jerkass | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
His two friends in middle school... aren't much better. One of them is portrayed as a two-faced Jerkass who turns on him constantly. The other is portrayed as a creepy pervert with no respect for women. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: When Nakamura's wrongfully blamed for stealing Mayu's lunch money, Kasuga sticks up for her. Unfortunately, this just makes Nakamura seem more suspicious, not to mention that he made it seem like he's interested in Nakamura. It becomes subverted however, when Saeki personally thanks him for standing up for Nakamura, and begins to take an interest in him as a result. | |

Covert Pervert: Saeki tells Kasuga that she actually liked that he wore her uniform, which to her meant he liked her. She was more upset that he didn't tell her. Later on, when trying to win him back, she rapes him. | |

With Friends Like These... | |
| The Flowers of Evil (Manga) / int_fdbd6162 | comment |
With Friends Like These...: Sure, Kasuga is capable of feats of spinelessness that would make Shinji Ikari shake his head, but pretty much everyone he's associated with pre-Time Skip is in no way more likable than him. In fact, all of them are... basically even worse. Nakamura goes without saying. She forced him into becoming friends with her, manipulated him, and eventually morphed him into a reflection of her. Though she at least realizes this eventually and prevents him from performing double-suicide with her. His two friends in middle school... aren't much better. One of them is portrayed as a two-faced Jerkass who turns on him constantly. The other is portrayed as a creepy pervert with no respect for women. Saeki appears to be the kindest, most upstanding person in Kasuga's life, even after they break up. Then she rapes him. | |
