Flowers of Evil is a psychological drama TV anime produced by ZEXCS, directed by Hiroshi Nagahama, with series composition by Aki Itami. Based on the manga by Shuzo Oshimi, the story follows Takao Kasuga, a boy whose secret transgression puts him at the mercy of the unsettling Sawa Nakamura. Caught between his pure admiration for Nanako Saeki and the disturbing influence Nakamura exerts over him, Kasuga is dragged into a spiral of shame and self-destruction. Rendered through a distinctive rotoscoping technique that amplifies the suffocating atmosphere of the source material, this is a bold and unflinching portrait of adolescent torment that pushes the boundaries of anime storytelling.

Set in a quiet suburban town in Japan, this story follows Takao Kasuga, a bookish teenager with a deep passion for literature—especially the provocative French poetry collection Les Fleurs du Mal by Baudelaire. At school, he secretly admires Nanako Saeki, a classmate he views as an almost otherworldly ideal of beauty and grace. However, a single reckless moment of weakness leads Takao down an unexpected and troubling path, leaving him burdened with a secret he desperately wants to hide. Complicating matters further is Sawa Nakamura, an unsettling and isolated girl in his class who seems to see right through him. Caught between his longing for Saeki and the weight of his own guilt, Kasuga must navigate a coming-of-age story that blurs the line between innocence and transgression.
