OSAMU DAZAI NO LONGER HUMAN GN

This manga version of novelist Osamu Dazai\'s masterpiece No Longer Human, the #2 bestselling novel of all time in Japan. Yozo Oba, a young man growing up in Japan in the immediate aftermath of World War II, is tormented by a failure to find any value in himself or in human relationships, despite being surrounded by women who love him. He creates the persona of a buffoon who mocks himself while entertaining others. But inside he is tortured, and as he moves from childhood to adulthood he becomes addicted to sex and alcohol. Largely autobiographical, No Longer Human explores Dazai\'s own sense of failure and alienation which drove him to self-destruct with alcohol and numerous suicide attempts.
