this story infuriated me in the way that the main character here was so depressed and shattered from his previous life experience that i just wanted him to be happy at the end once I neared towards the end, no matter where or from whom he got his happiness from. the book made me feel empty and a mix of emotions from frustration and annoyance to pity and sympathy. definitely a good read if u want some insight on the mind of a depressed person who is struggling through life

3.0

Funny. And very misogynistic but I would juxtapose it to Mishima's Life For Sale, a book I recently read that was rife with heroic displays of sexism and insecure men competing with one another. The misogyny in No Longer Human is more a symptom of the character's illness, and not displayed as a great, masculine quality to have. 

Accurate to the experience of a deep suffering. When seen from an aerial view, many of these passages are hyperbolic. Hilariously so. Experiencing such despair that everything is a slog, it becomes a humorous miserable skit with oneself.
I don’t believe Ito’s adaptation did it justice.
