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.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Shuzo Oshimi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42888323727423,"sku":"9781945054716","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/0710\/5855\/files\/9781945054716.jpg?v=1770410191","url":"https:\/\/casitamanga.com\/products\/the-flowers-of-evil-complete-1-9781945054716","provider":"Casita Manga","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
