Junji Ito is a genius. On its own, No Longer Human seemed like a daunting piece of literature I wasn’t too inclined to read. Ito’s adaption makes the story a lot more approachable and digestible. Only a master of horror could aptly embody Dazai’s tortured psyche in a manga adaption. It was fucked up and eerie— and I loved it.
