The Bad Seed isn’t always a bad plant

William March’s scathingly stealthy and unintentionally comedic masterpiece deserves both a series of expanded remake light novels (known as The Rhododendron Maze) and a stunning anime adaptation (also called the Rhododendron Maze). 

Sure thing, what it sorely does need is to have its remake novels contain far more scientific accuracy than usual due to recent studies slowly expanding the scope of how mental disorders work. 2025 is going to be the year that the Bad Seed novel will become public domain worthy not only in the European Union, but also in most nations of the world. It’s been in the public domain of Australia for nearly two decades now, so it can be adapted into new stuff when needed.
