Osamu Dazai’s dark, semi-autobiographical novel is the perfect match for Junji Ito’s horrifically riveting art style. this is a story that can perhaps be best described with the help of an alternative title translation — “Disqualified from Being Human”. it’s the story of a man who never finds a place to truly belong, and that anguish clearly carries through the entire story.
