veggiecats 's review for:

No Longer Human by Junji Ito
5.0
dark reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Really intense, but really well done. As a book, I mean its masterful and raw. In terms of Junji Ito's rendition of it, I think the illustrations definitely help with certain themes, such as a
Takeichi being "reborn" as Yoichi. And also the delusions and envisioning different people inhabiting one person.
I think this is wonderfully done and really resonated with me.
