>I thought, “I want to die. I want to die more than ever before. There’s no chance now of a recovery. No matter what sort of thing I do, no matter what I do, it’s sure to be a failure, just a final coating applied to my shame. That dream of going on bicycles to see a waterfall framed in summer leaves—it was not for the likes of me. All that can happen now is that one foul, humiliating sin will be piled on another, and my sufferings will become only the more acute. I want to die. I must die. Living itself is the source of sin.
What do you guys think of Osamu Dazai?

Currently homeless. Just finished this. Hits hard man. My life is a never ending spiral of trying to attain wealth and I can't manage my finances. Prostitutes and strippers. And alcohol. I never figured myself as "depressed", but I can see myself succumbing to a simliar fate as Oba. A useless existence where one is a slave to vice and hedonistic escapism.

Bout to check out Junji Ito's Manga next.
