A deep dive into the ever-growingly popular No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai, which has arguably become my favourite novel of all time.

With a special thanks to @supereyepatchwolf3007 for inspiring me with his brilliant videos, @jiffy1553 for the same reasons, as well as his thoughts regarding the adaptations. @12cottaadr for uploading the Osamu Dazai documentary.
