{"title":"Shuzo Oshimi","description":"Only in his late-thirties, Shuzo Oshimi is already considered a seasoned veteran of the Japanese comics community. Winner of the most important comics awards for newcomers, the Tetsuya Chiba Award in 2001, Oshimi has been penning quirky slice-of-life dramas now for over a decade for major manga publishers including Kodansha. After drawing nine series, Oshimi's star began to rise in 2008 with the release of his first hit, Drifting Net Cafe. This horror-themed homage to the legendary Kazu Umezzo work, Drifting Classroom, was adapted into a live-action series, and propelled Oshimi onto an international stage. He would soon reach new heights in 2009 with The Flowers of Evil.","products":[{"product_id":"blood-on-the-tracks-1-paperback","title":"Blood on the Tracks 1 - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the creator who brought you notable works such as\u003ci\u003e The Flowers of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHappiness\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eInside Mari\u003c\/i\u003e, comes a new suspense drama centering on the theme of a toxic parent. \u003cbr\u003eDive into this latest thriller by master storyteller, Shuzo Oshimi.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Seiichi's mother loves him very much, and his days pass with placid regularity.
