No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai


I think I first heard this book from a Youtuber reviewing Junji Ito's works. 

I can't relate fully to Yozo's complete alienation from society, but the book is haunting. His trauma and unchecked mental health issues, especially at the time the book is set in, makes you feel for him but he still lived a pretty shitty life with the choices he makes.

Would he have had a different life if he had a better support system? Would he have accepted it?
