Seemed like he was scared of everything. His father, other people's opinions of him, social expectations. It's a shame it was so obvious he needed help and no one bothered, they just tossed money at him and brushed him under a rug so as to not embarrass the family.
I wish he didn't kill himself because he's the type of person who deserves to live.

All jokes aside, its a fantastic "auto-biography" about a mans life especially when looked at in context of what was post war japan and the complete change of class and idealism that followed

I'm learning nip right now. I'll report back in five years when I'm fluent enough to read this shit on whether or not it's more eloquent in moon.
Do I have to learn every language on earth just to read books in peace from shitty translations?

Largely forgettable. I'm not Japanese, and I'm sure it would resonate a lot more with Japanese people (or at least weeaboos) but honestly it's not worth your time unless you're interested in learning about post-war Japan and Japan/Western culture assimilation.

he tries to blend in with humans by filling his life with alcohol and fake relationships. becomes a chad to mask his depression and only ends up more alienated and empty. no matter how many people like him, no one really loves or helps him.

Oh, Aoi Bungaku? It's pretty same shit, anime had a ghibli feel and didn't cover everything. It's a short book, you may as well read it.
