This was a great piece to get introduced to Akutagawa's work, and contains a great mix of short stories. He has a very masterful way of writing that placed me in the environment he wanted to present and I enjoyed seeing how characters would react to the situations presented to them. There weren't any stories in particular that I disliked.
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail, Violence, Suicide, Fire/Fire injury, Mental illness, Suicidal thoughts, Death, and War
