5.0

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.

I would not recommend reading this if you are actively struggling with feelings of hopelessness and suicidal ideations, symptoms of psychosis and extreme paranoia, or are sensitive to themes of sexual assault and rape.

Reading the original novel and then this adaptation by Junji Ito was the best decision I made. The last 3 chapters of this manga ties everything together in the most unexpected way. Absolutely incredible interpretation and adaptation of the original No Longer Human.
