Makoto Ozaki's life in his first year of high school is a series of humiliations and disappointments. But one night, a thin and pale girl jumps on him to drink his blood and offers him the choice between dying or living like her… Makoto chooses to live and, endowed with a new strength, he will no longer be the plaything of his comrades. But prisoner of a body that is no longer human, the teenager realizes that he has left one hell for another…
Spring: Pika
After a foray into Akata with Dans l'intimité de Marie , then Ki-oon with Les fleurs du mal, Shuzo Oshimi continues his journey in 2018 with Pika. In his new title Happiness, he once again describes a recurring theme in his works: the malaise in adolescence. And this time, he adds a more fantastic note with the myth of the vampire. A theme that will undoubtedly recall the blockbuster Tokyo Ghoul by Glénat editions? But with this author, it is assured that the tone and characters will be treated in a very different way from Sui Ishida's work. With his realistic and detailed style, he will certainly touch us with illustrations that come to us in his universe, of which he holds the secret.
Pre-published in the Bessatsu Shonen Magazine of Kodansha (Fuka, Fire Force, A silent voice…), Happiness has been in publication since June 2016 and currently has 6 bound volumes. In France it will be published in Pika's seinen collection, with a publication rate of one volume every three months.
And you, are you also waiting for this new manga by Shuzo Oshimi?
