I did not finish No Longer Human because I lost interest.  All the psychological analyzations and questioning about humanity was annoying.  Other than that Yozo is just going around sleeping with a lot of women, drinking, causing trouble for other people, and seeing ghosts.  I didn't care to continue another 300 pages of the same self destructive behavior.  However, the art work was good.  Very creepy images and lovely naked ladies.  Glad I did not read the original.

I love Junji Ito, and I enjoyed No Longer Human when I read it in prose. I had high expectations for this work, and it lived up to all of them. There are definitely changes to the plot from the original book, but these were choices that worked with the plot and were well-executed. Ito's artistic style fits perfectly the graphic or horrifying elements of the story, and he gets to show just how good of a graphic artist he is, especially at showing facial nuance. This adaptation is filled with a type of surrealism which wasn't emphasized as much in the book, but suits it perfectly.

No longer human explores some incredibly dark and disturbing subjects, I find that Junkies Ito’s equally dark and disturbing art style complements this really well. The visualisation of this adaptation is more than I could’ve ever imagined, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the artwork. It is certainly not for everyone, it was a painful read (in a positive way), definitely a story would revisit
