No Longer Human
Ningen Shikkaku
Yozo Oba is a man consumed by anxiety and a profound sense of shame. He can't shake the feeling that happiness—the kind everyone else seems to experience—is fundamentally incomprehensible to him. So he wears a mask, playing the clown in his own life while spiraling downward, all the while keeping death as his constant companion. Junji Ito's manga adaptation of Osamu Dazai's classic novel is a masterwork. Ito takes the psychological core of the story and transforms it into something visually haunting, turning Yozo's inner turmoil into fragile, grotesque imagery that cuts straight to the heart of the text. It's a stunning demonstration of what Ito does best: making the human mind itself feel like the most terrifying thing in existence.
