The acclaimed new horror drama from the creator of Flowers of Evil THE THIRST Nothing interesting in happening in Makoto Ozaki's first year of high school. HIs life is a series of quiet humiliations: low-grade bullies, unreliable friends, and the constant frustration of his adolescent lust. But one night, a pale, thin girl knocks him to the ground in an alley and offers him a choice. Now everything is different. Daylight is searingly bright. Food tastes awful. And worse than anything is the terrible, consuming thirst. The tiny shames of his old life have been replaced by two towering horrors: the truth of what will slake his awful craving, and high school itself. Review: AMAZING - The book was a lil damaged from the top left corner but that's alright,it's not really noticeable! I expected it to come in really bad condition but I was so happy when I opened the package. I'd definitely recommend this manga to you guys,the art is great! Review: Interesting start! - The characters can really be seen doing some development right from the first volume. Artwork is absolutely splendid. It hits all the right beats. Gave Tokyo Ghoul story elements at first, but it is a more different and grounded take.

Another great book!
If you’re into horror mangas, do pick this off the shelf. Volume one itself is a slow paced one (since I’m reading it online too) all I gotta say is that read it online first if you liked it and are a collector like me or just want a physical copy as a memoir do buy it!

Ôshimi et la métaphore du vampire
Happiness est un titre qui devrait prochainement être disponible en français. Mais je n'ai pas pu attendre et me suis plongé dans l'édition américaine. Je ne l'ai pas regretté. Le point de départ est assez similaire à celui que l’on peut trouver dans les Fleurs du Mal ou Dans l’intimité de Marie : un garçon mène une vie peu épanouie ; il fait la rencontre d’une fille qui va changer son existence. Makoto Okazaki, lycéen, est harcelé, isolé, son petit plaisir semble être de se masturber dans sa chambre le soir. Mais tout va changer lorsqu'une jeune femme va le mordre. Entre Éros ou Thanatos il choisit de vivre et de devenir un vampire. Comme l’adolescence est une période où le corps change, se transforme... quoi de mieux que d’utiliser les vampires dans cette perspective ? Ôshimi va alors réinterpréter le mythe du vampire, s'en servir comme métaphore : des désirs (notamment sexuels) que les personnes ne assouvir ; de l’anormalité ensuite car les vampires sont des « marginaux », obligés de se cacher pour vivre et vêtus chichement. Les vampires sont ainsi plus ou moins dominées par leurs désirs, pulsions, émotions, comme les humains le sont. S’ouvre alors une intrigue plutôt sombre, imprévisible et c'est tant mieux, l'auteur a ainsi d'autant plus de marges de manoeuvre pour mener son histoire comme il l'entend. Surtout, l’aspect qui m’a le plus fasciné dans Happiness concerne le graphisme. Les vampires ne voient pas le monde comme les non-vampires et cela Ôshimi s'attache à le montrer. D'où des déformations concernant l'aspect du vampire quand il est tenaillé par sa soif de sang, concernant sa perception de ceux qui l'entourent et enfin, concernant le ciel. La nuit leur appartient et devient alors une piste aux étoiles avec des accents très "van goghiens". Superbe. En somme Happiness est une superbe série alors foncez quand elle sera disponible en français ou bien prenez la version américaine mais dans tous les cas essayez de ne pas passer à côté.

Stupendo!
Stupendo! Mi è piaciuto molto questo primo volume. Oshimi racconta una storia cruda, particolare, dalle tinte oniriche. Il suo tratto è inconfondibile. Okazaki decide di fare del bene, nonostante sia stato vittima di bullismo. Sta anche ottenendo qualcosa di positivo grazie al suo cambiamento. Sono curiosa di sapere come prosegue la storia.

Surprised how much I enjoyed it
So far, the art has been an eyegasming experience. As for the story, it takes an unoriginal person turn vampire premise but the way the characters interact feel fresh. I'm looking forward to seeing what else is in store.
