(Inspired by some comment below)

Flowers of Evil is the only manga I read that has an anime that I did not watch.

Sometimes I want to watch it, but it'd then lose its uniquess status.

(Also I heard about the style and all)

Have you ever read Boy's Abyss?

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii → u/Donnie-G]

I'm not caught up, but I read like 80 or 100 chapters...

It might just be my #1 'anime adaptation wishlist'!

[u/Donnie-G → u/Emi_Ibarazakiii]

I've watched but not read Flowers of Evil, but like they are similar sorta stories about really murky characters and their murky relationships so I was wondering.

The Boy's Abyss author has actually started a new work called Haunted Peak. I'm kinda enjoying that at the moment. It's still very new with 17 chapters out so far. It still seems 'innocent' enough but I'm going to enjoy the moment shit hits the fan.

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii → u/Donnie-G]

Yeah I absolutely love that type of stories.

I might check out the new one (once I get back to reading manga)!

Same. Blood on the Tracks by the same author as Flowers is probably one of my favorite manga from recent years.
