Winner of the most important comics awards for newcomers, the Tetsuya Chiba Award in 2001, Oshima has been penning quirky slice-of-life dramas now for over a decade for major manga publishers including Kodansha. After drawing nine series, Oshimi's star began to rise in 2008 with the release of his first hit, \u003ci\u003eDrifting Net Cafe\u003c\/i\u003e. This horror-themed homage to the legendary Kazu Umezzo work, \u003ci\u003eDrifting Classroom\u003c\/i\u003e, was adapted into a live-action series, and propelled Oshimi onto an international stage. He would soon reach new heights in 2009 with \u003ci\u003eThe Flowers of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e. In 2010 and 2011, the property quietly landed on numerous must-read lists and helped revitalize the shonen genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 596\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 7.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47483355922610,"sku":"9781945054716","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/86d9ad8d9bc8b97167d7a3ce778ff16c.webp?v=1779268910","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-flowers-of-evil-complete-1-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
