Talk:The Flowers of Evil (manga)

Some sources
I found a bunch of reliable sources that will be useful for this article, with a focus on reception. I plan to incorporate some of them, but I'm posting the lot here in case I end up giving undue weight to a POV in my choices and in case another editor wants to use them. (I'm also planning to use some interviews and material from the inter-chapter notes for the production section) One thing I noticed about the sources is that a majority of them focus on only the first volume/episode, so the reviews with final impressions will be important to balance that, considering how much the series changes after Kasuga moves.
