I got the vibe that it was sincerely trying to be edgy, even more considering how the story develops. The pacing is pretty bad, as it tends to happen when the first act is really clear in the author's head but not real direction after that. It's not too good, I don't know how it got adapted (not saying onyl quality stuff gets adapted, but I couldn't imagine too many readers following it)

>failing to grasp a comic book because you think exclusively in meymeys and whether some idiot anonymous on 4chan would make fun of it
The Flowers of Evil is about a young man (from teen to early 20s) that struggles to understand his feelings of unnameable alienation, guilt, and perversion. It's an intense, brilliant story, one of the best recent series in a while. Definitely /lit/-tier. The comics, that is; I never saw the animation.

The story was trying to generate impact without real content, and after the initial presentation of characters it showed how little it had to do with them going in circles until the author came out with an idea to finish it.

>>5607589
Not really. WttNHK is aimed at a public that will identify and find comedy in the exageration of things they can relate to; it's clearly a black comedy. AnH, even if we are to imagine that it was meant as a satire of people who think they are the best there is while in HS, has a serious tone that can't sustain the basic and light nature of everything that happens. Eventually ramps up without any real justification to a conclusion that doesn't add any to the story, as it tends to happen when you write a chapter a week for months.

>>5607640
Onani is a parody of extreme strategy games, even if it faces into other genres and a more sincere plot as it progresses. AnH is closer to something Onani would parody.

In the fact that the 'criticisms' in this thread don't have any real content except 'it wants to be edgy', and in the fact that you read the story so completely wrong as to confuse it for comedy and then accuse of being aimless. The problem is it's just a sincere story that revolves around transgression and flawed young characters and their emotions. Your comment here reads like projection- it only appears to address the object but it's really just vague pseudo-criticism and reeks of a learned prejudice (/a/, /co/, someone probably hated it, I'm guessing).

>> No.5607701

>>5607685
In that same post I answered the anon that took it for a comedy, I know it was trying to be about transgression. But the author's idea of transgression is both unrealistic and unimpressive. I could enjoy pathetic attempts at challenging authority if it was taking a realistic route at showing teen anger, or I could enjoy slightly or straight out over the top stuff as a hyperbole. It failed to do any of them, as it fail to have any kind of progression or rhythm to the story.
It's a lousy take on a potentially interesting topic and a poor story.
