The Flowers of Evil
By Shuzo Oshimi

A darkly funny and deeply unsettling coming-of-age story about obsession, guilt, and awakening desire. Takao Kasuga is a bookish middle schooler who finds comfort in the poetry of Baudelaire—but one impulsive act changes everything. When he steals the gym clothes of his crush, the sweet and popular Nanako Saeki, he’s caught by his strange and unpredictable classmate Nakamura. Rather than turn him in, Nakamura forces Takao into a twisted friendship, threatening to expose his secret unless he submits to her cruel whims. As their disturbing bond deepens, Takao’s world begins to unravel in this haunting exploration of shame, rebellion, and the dark side of adolescence.

Until Your Bones Rot
By Yae Utsumi

The summer they were eleven, they killed a man and buried his body in a cave. Since then, every year, one summer night has marked a ritual: a ritual never to forget, and never to betray. Five years have passed. Their sixteenth summer. The body, now a skeleton. Unraveled lies. A faceless blackmailer. The phone rings, and a life is torn apart. The bones, like their crime: never rotting, never fading away. Now, a living hell begins.

Parasyte
By Hitoshi Iwaaki

They arrive in silence and darkness. They descend from the skies. They have a hunger for human flesh. They are everywhere. They are parasites, alien creatures who must invade—and take control of—a human host to survive. And once they have infected their victims, they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth, winged demons, creatures with blades for hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces. So no one knows their secret—except an ordinary high school student. Shin is battling for control of his own body against an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come?
