Mine has been a life of much shame. I can’t even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being. Plagued by a maddening anxiety, the terrible disconnect between his own concept of happiness and the joy of the rest of the world, Yozo Oba plays the clown in his dissolute life, holding up a mask for those around him as he spirals ever downward, locked arm-in-arm with death. Osamu Dazai’s immortal—and supposedly autobiographical—work of Japanese literature, is perfectly adapted here into a manga by Junji Ito. The imagery wrenches open the text of the novel one line at a time to sublimate Yozo’s mental landscape into something even more delicate and grotesque. This is the ultimate in art by Ito, proof that nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche.

    A story I feel all too familiar with. This has been one of the best reads of my life. Yet one of the most tragic. Beautifully portrayed to show what the ugly in this world can do to a person.

    This was my first time reading No Longer Human by Osaka Dazai. Junji Ito does an amazing job illustrating the main character’s horrific descent into madness as well as his psychological trauma throughout the story. After finishing this novel, I am compelled to read the original work and compare the two. I can not recommend this book enough if one enjoys horror, life, and tragedy.
