No Longer Human by Junji Ito

Ito really took his creative liberties with this adaptation. Every few moments is just “that didn’t happen, that didn’t happen.”
And I really didn’t expect it to become meta selfcest fanfiction nearing the end with Dazai though I guess it can be argued as to why it makes sense.
The sex and sexual violence in this is absolutely insane. Every 10 pages is a new sex scene it’s crazy. Many of them not needed imo. Especially the incest baby. Why. I guess it pairs well with the obscene misogyny of the actual novel in a more visual way. But damn. Alright.
Art is beautiful as always but not my favorite Ito manga by a long shot. Worth reading once, especially if you like the OG book.
