Shattering the Self: A Conversation with Shuzo Oshimi

Shuzo Oshimi’s name is one that evokes a sense of dread in many circles. His most famous work, Flowers of Evil, is legendary for the rawness with which he depicts the most destructive parts of adolescence, centering as it does the toxic, coerced relationship between a boy who steals his crush’s underwear and the girl who caught him.

Oshimi’s work has not lost its raw power and interest in toxic relationships–almost all of his manga have a central relationship that at least starts off based on shared secrets, shame, and the threat of exposure. However, 2012’s Inside Mari marked a turning point: many of his later works explore the experiences of queer adolescents trying to escape from heteronormative, transphobic, and often misogynist ideas of how one should live. Inside Mari begins with a young man waking up in the body of a girl he’d been watching from afar and meeting the lesbian girl who was harboring a crush on her. The one-shot Waltz, published the year after Inside Mari was completed, centers on a girl who comes to feel possessive of her transfemme classmate as the only one who knows her identity. And Welcome Back Alice, his most recent work, stars a trio of characters each struggling to find an answer to what living a life without gendered expectations would mean, triggered by the return of their childhood friend shortly after their transition into an agender, trans feminine identity. All of these works are astonishing in the specificity with which they depict queer adolescence, with Oshimi clearly bringing his experience to them. If anything, they demand a reframing and reconsideration of much of his earlier work, showing us a new way of thinking about his depictions of women.

Oshimi’s work overwhelmingly focuses on adolescent sexuality; often the protagonists are insecure young men on the throes of adolescence, who meet a young woman that inspires in them both fear and desire–Oshimi self-deprecatingly refers to this in the afterword for Welcome Back, Alice as “[trying] to hook male readers by inflaming their libido.” But he goes on, “But I was never satisfied by just fulfilling their desires that way. I think the reason is that I myself felt something unsavory in those desires, and it ate at me that this wasn’t what I truly wanted.” The fan service heavy early moments of his works inevitably become bait-and-switches, evolving into stories that explore anxiety about sex, the gendered social expectations that come with it, and the violence that the characters wind up perpetrating against each other in an attempt to navigate these standards.

PAPERTHIN PUNCH DOODLE BOARD FEATURING:

-parappa's cousin and his gal pal that tried to kill him once (dw they're in good terms now)

-Meuy Thai Muscly Rat lady

-A psychic idol from broadway and her nerd bff

-some edgy guy that desire to kill dog people with flame powers

-Cute couple ♥

-local collage girl that also happens to be #1 milkcan fan

EXTRA: TEAM MILKCAN design because I just realized I haven't posted it here lol, now onto lore:

-Katherine Bogard: -obviously based off of Terry Bogard- Katherine is a humanoid feline and the leader of the world-wide famous band, MilkCan. she participates on paperthin punch tournament in hopes of getting closer to to the usual sponsor of the tournament, Joe Howard; who has caused severe damage to her family's reputation that lead her to be abounded by them. outside of that, Katherine is a team player, a go-getter girl that enjoys various things such as playing baseball, singing and writing poems.

-Mau Mau Chan: -Based on Joe Higachi- Mau Mau is a short buff humanoid rat with a rough demandor and even rougher punches to follow. She's the drummer for the rock band, MilkCan. Unlike Lamia and Katherine that have personal reasons for joining the Paperthin punch tournaments, Mau Mau accompanies them for the sole purpose of fighting strong opponents, as she doesn't get to that very often. She also has a karma with romance, as every attempt of her dating somone ends with her "date" running away (they can't handle a girlboss sadly.)

-Blue Lamia: -Based on bluemary (who is stated to be terry's love interest)- Lamia is a humanoid sheep with very quite and shy demandor but, grappling abilities that can break her opponents bones. She's the back-up vocalist and guitarist for the rock band, MilkCan. at first, Lamia was only accompanying Katherine and Mau Mau on the fighting tournement at the leader's request but, on later tournements, Lamia would find herself joining more to find more answers about the hakkechu, the strange look-like grey sheep girl, and the sudden blood riot.
