No Longer Human, Part 3
“Everything is with purpose. There is not a wasted line of  dialogue, the artwork provides subtext and details that enrich and  enhance the story,                                          and it is all done masterfully.No Longer Humanis another home run winner from Vertical Inc., but one that I actually will find myself                                          re-reading continuously for many years to come. Masterpiece! Grade: A+/A.” —Fandom Post“The heights of emotion and passion are depicted with  charcoal-tinted beauty… It is a deeply personal story brought to life by  the pen of one                                          of manga’s greats. From the very  start it’s clear that we’re going to witness a bright, if extremely  closed off young man go from                                          riches to rags both materially  and emotionally, but it’s the methods by which he does so that keep the  pages turning.” —Otaku USA“Never have I read a manga which made me understand and feel what it meant to be no longer human… For a first volume, [No Longer Human,                                          part 1] was beautiful and I  loved it dearly to feel the need to write this. And how I wished it had  garnered enough attention in Japan for it                                          to merit some kind of award  because personally, I felt Furuya deserved it… If darkness made me  understand the other side of humanity, then I                                          don’t mind sinking deeper.” —Otaku Champloo“No Longer Humanwas a great read. Usamaru Furuya’s  stylish and simultaneously unembellished artwork works seamlessly with  the                                          story… The poignancy of volume  one’s last words lingers with me even now, leaving me eager to see what  places both of mind and body                                          we’ll experience in volume two.” —Kuriousity“[No Longer Human] is essentially one long downward spiral  for the character, but it’s not joyless as there’s hints of what                                          his plans for the future are  after he hits rock bottom at the end of this first volume… The overall  storytelling is enough for me to                                          recommend it to those looking  for something different in the manga and comics diet.” —Glick’s Comics Picks“Very successful… I really liked following Oba through this journey.No Longer Humanis a thoughtful, sexy read, and it’s                                          illustrated absolutely  beautifully. I can’t imagine that Dazai wouldn’t be extremely proud of  Furuya’s adaptation of his work.” —Comics-and-More“Vertical has a strong track record for licensing thoughtful, provocative titles, andNo Longer Humanis no exception… It is very                                          well written, and the art is  crisp and full of the emotion that Yozo lacks. The fact that I read this  in one sitting and was so caught up in the                                          experiences of a character I did  not like speaks volumes for Furuya’s skills.” —Manga Maniac Cafe
