( this is coming from a person who didn’t read no longer human by Osamu Duzai)

This book tackles a lot of disturbing and uncomfortable themes that I want to make aware of. I personally did not enjoy reading or thinking about some of these themes in which Ito covers, but I do appreciate his unique style in Manga. 
This is my first manga book and I will say the pictures were indeed engaging, I just wasn’t comfortable in reflecting on the ideas being shared. I will say, this book brought a new perspective on how I pick books around the horror and melancholic genre ( if melancholic is a sub genre). I now know that I have triggers in certain ideas that this book made aware of.
