I just finished this book, and I thought it was fantastic.

What does /lit/ think about it?

"Usamaru Furuya created a three-volume manga version of No Longer Human, serialized in Shinchosha's Comic Bunch magazine beginning in number 10, 2009. An English edition was published by Vertical, Inc. in 2011–2012.[4][5]

Yasunori Ninose created another manga version of No Longer Human, titled Ningen Shikkaku Kai (壊,"kai" = "destruction"),[6] serialized in Champion Red from April to July in 2010. Unlike Furuya's version, this manga depicts human beings' negative emotion and sexual intercourse as tentacles, which have enthralled Ninose since he was five years old."

the prose was nice, and it had its good moments but i feel like overall it was one of those The Stranger By Albert Camus books people like to think they relate deeply too because they're depressed fat virgin fucks. overall a nice read though. it's a short book though so see for yourself.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 22 14:38:41 2016 No.8646589 the translation/prose wasn't the best from what I remember but whatever it was a great book.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 22 14:50:04 2016 No.8646624 Eh, his feeling of dissociation was relatable and his prose is alright. Overall, a nice and comfy read, if a bit melancholic. 6.5/10, neat but probably won't read it again. Why do you think it is fantastic?

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 22 16:03:51 2016 No.8646853 I didn't like it at all. The main character appeared repulsive and uninteresting. The writing was bland and generic, though that may have been the fault of the translation. There really was only one passage where I thought "this is kinda nice."

>>	luke Sat Oct 22 18:13:24 2016 No.8647204 >>8646592 you're right. i feel like many people relate to it as a way to justify their shit situation in life, and sortof shift the blame a bit.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 22 18:17:43 2016 No.8647228 >>8644715 I thought the first notebook was much better than the others but that it was overall a good book.
