Negishi is Kasuga in an alternate universe where his corrupter extraordinaire (Nakamura) is his band manager. Here, his love for verbose literature is an affinity for Swedish pop. His blossoming perversion is a shameless alter-ego. His crush on an actually-totally-attainable-if-it-weren't-for-plot idealized girl is a crush on an actually-totally-attainable-if-it-weren't-for-plot idealized girl. Some common themes: moral deterioration and distress it causes.... yes, even when played for laughs. To quote Aku no Hana's MC himself (paraphrasing) "comedy and horror are similar in that they both stem from the element of surprise." The cherry on top? Same director.

The character design for the majority of Aoi Bungaku's episodes is done by Takeshi Obata of Death Note fame, so the similar artwork should come to no surprise. This is jarringly notable in the first segment, called "No Longer Human" based on the best-selling Japanese novel of the same namel by Osamu Dazai. These three episodes present an unforgiving realism and its manipulative, objectionable main character -- a supplementary resemblance to his more popular work.
