Description
The illusion of that person leads me astray. Mother and son. This is the ultimate favouritism.
Osabe Seiko loves her son Seiichi very much. Perhaps too much. This uncanny over-protectiveness will disrupt the son's life... And lead to the mother's slow but steady downward spiral into insanity.
I usually enjoy the theme that brought up on Oshimi sensei works. Sadly, I usually end up being disappointed by most of his works. Usually they tend to have a strong and interesting start but end up being a disappointment. Aku no Hana for example, I find it uninteresting anymore after long time skip and make me dropped it. This one seems about possessive mother and I am enjoying it so far. I hope there will be no long time skip that could ruin this manga for me.
I really liked flower's of evil from this guy, but some of his work can be rather dull as well. OSHIMI Shuzo seems to really have a thing for mentally ill women because most of his subject matter has a mentally ill herione. Makes you wonder if his mother, wife, or girlfriend suffered from some form of mental illness. Anyway, it's a Mother this time. I've read 13 chapters and I have to say, the Mother is completely insane. It's even making me feel awkward, and I usually like sicko type stuff. I'll probably read a little bit more, but if I'm not sure if I like this or not. Flowers of evil was great, but now it just seems like he's writing for shock value.
I don't have many thing to say at the beginning of this series, but I'm sure this's gonna blow. I'm a big fan of Shuzo Oshimi, and obviously he always has creepy ideas, this time was no exception. The main character's mother, just like other women in Oshimi's universe, is super super weird. The characters are abnormal also the art and mystery theme blend perfectly.
This manga kind of has an eerie vibe going on. Like everything that has happen so far seem pretty much normal but you kind of get this sense that there is something strange happening underneath all the normalness. The son and mother definitely have some sort of strange relationship but im not saying that it is or isn't a sexual or incestual relationship but it doesn't seem that way its just very odd I'm thinking that maybe the mother is obsessively overprotective or maybe the mother put her son on a pedestal something like that. The the mystery of their relationship seems pretty interesting. the art is pretty good too.
