A dorky boy faces a life-changing choice after being attacked in an alley. Happiness 8 explores his struggle with newfound desires and identity.

In Happiness 8, a socially awkward boy finds himself in a life-altering predicament when he is attacked by a mysterious girl in a dark alley.

Opting for life, he soon discovers that the consequences are far more complex than he anticipated. A strange thirst awakens within him, leading to a newfound obsession with the necks of his classmates, which complicates his already tumultuous teenage experience.

As he navigates the challenges of adolescence, the protagonist grapples with his identity and the dark desires that now accompany him.

Ultimately, Happiness 8 is a sophisticated and bloody coming-of-age tale that explores themes of identity, desire, and the often painful transition into adulthood. With a unique blend of horror and humor, this narrative invites readers to reflect on the complexities of growing up in a world where choices can lead to unexpected and sometimes terrifying consequences.
