When I went home I tried to read the manga and when I had read it it turned out... 240https://i.pin.com/564x/ef/7c/a3/ef7ca39751ff7161298fd1f3cb611daa.jpg Plot Story Happiness: As told by Makoto Okazaki is a middle school student with an ordinary life because of this he is always forced to be ordered around like an orderly from his classmates. And all that changed drastically when at night Makoto Okazaki who was riding a bicycle was attacked by a vampire named Nora. He sucked Makotos blood on his neck and asked Do you want to become a vampire like me or die? The next day Makoto wakes up in the hospital. Everyone around him believes Makoto is just a victim of the strange attacks at night he usually gets. However there was something strange that after that night Makoto became unable to see sunlight apart from that Makoto felt very thirsty but it wasnt ordinary water that he wanted but blood. The ironic Makoto friends with Ono Yuki who always bosses him around in his class and Yukis girlfriend is Nao Shiraishi. Simultaneously Makoto begins to develop a friendship with the beautiful girl Yukiko Gosho from another class. From that Makotos life slowly began to change. Maybe if you look at the main story this isnt very interesting. But Shuzo Oshimi combines all the contents of the story with losing someone affecting love heresy and others. Oshimi combines it all into one story which is quite interesting and exciting but I dont like the storyline which is sometimes messy I dont know where the plot is going and I think when Oshimi writes his characters he is inconsistent some of the characters are written well like Yukiko Gosho and Makoto Okazaki and what was less satisfying for me was the writing of the characters Masami Sakurane Yuki Ono and Nao Shiraishi. And maybe there are some readers of this Happiness manga who feel the pace is quite slow. 330https://i.pin.com/564x/d1/3b/fe/d13bfe3f0076ce8ab4f89d31a0eab7ea.jpg Visuals Happiness: The visuals in Happiness really help make this comic a comic that looks dark the body horror is very scary and the horror of the story is also great. You can see the use of thick lines and shadows and also the use of panels Thick lines and shadows: Shuzo Oshimi in his drawings uses lots of thick lines to add a tense atmosphere and intense tension. I also think that Oshimi has a unique and good drawing style. Honestly I really like the panel drawings of this manga and I also really like the character drawn by Oshimi namely Yukiko Gosho Use of Panels: Oshimi uses panels in an effective way to create something scary in each panel. He often uses closeup panels to focus on the emotions of each character and most recently Oshimi uses wide panels to show the setting of the story Overall the visuals of the Happiness manga are very good at creating a dark horror and atmospheric that really suits the story. With visuals like that I think it makes for an immersive reading experience 300https://i.pin.com/564x/98/05/78/9805785d1d0513c49e53393b46b54658.jpg Conclusion: This manga is perfect for those of you who are fans of vampirethemed fiction stories And what I can say is that Happiness is a complex and interesting manga that explores a world with vampires and also if you like horror themes with body horror or something like that I recommend you to read this Happiness manga Thank You For Reading My Review About Manga Happiness Shuzo Happiness
