Flowers of Evil - S01

Takao Kasuga is a high school student obsessed with poetry, especially the works of Charles Baudelaire-so much so that he keeps a portrait of the poet in his room. One day, he accidentally leaves his copy of "The Flowers of Evil" in class. When he goes back to get it, he impulsively steals the gym clothes of Nanako Saeki, a well-behaved classmate he secretly admires as his muse and a femme fatale. Overcome with guilt, Takao is horrified when Sawa Nakamura, a social outcast in his class, discovers his secret. She blackmails him into playing along with her twisted games, threatening to expose him if he refuses. As Takao spirals deeper into traumatic experiences, he struggles with one question: Can he escape Sawa’s grasp and find redemption for what he’s done?
