I admit that I didn't expect anything from Aku no Hana, mainly due to the terrible reputation of its anime (made with rotoscoping), but after reading it, it became one of my favorite manga.
At first it is an uninviting story, as it contains elements that are not very comfortable for readers.

This is more of a review of the entirety of the Author’s works than this manga but my rating is still for this.
The Author isn’t the best writer they aren’t very good at giving characters clear motives, and conclusions alot of his mangas start off addictive but inevitably end up trailing off into a haze of jumbled angst he also has trouble portraying certain things in a realistic light.
