It’s beautifully written.
I love me some existential ramblings. Yozo is (maybe) relatable if you’ve ever felt out of place and/or have had depression, which makes you feel bad since
Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable

Some of the minor trigger warnings are listed as “minor” as they’re only mentioned in passing and are not major plot points of the book.charrlee's review against another edition

I have never seen such an inscrutable face on a man (17)
The darkest novel I have yet to read, and I don't say that lightly. So much of how you read this novel is dependent on your own beliefs and biases. While the three notebooks pose a slight a question of subjectivity, the way Yozo is viewed in the prologue and epilogue are what truly form the thoughts of the reader. I can, and will, write an analysis on my thoughts around No Longer Human at some point. There is so much more that just cannot be said in a review.
The last line haunts you; this book will haunt your mind. I don't feel as though I can rate this properly because there is something so human despite the inhumanities described. Also, knowing this work is semi-autobiographical enables you to approach the topic with more humanity as opposed to an entirely fictional rendition.
He was a good boy, an angel (177)

It’s very deeply troubled and misogynistic. It simply reads like a cry for help. His depiction of
