![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, Viz offers up a great first impression of this edition and quality alone makes it a great addition to any manga library. This edition also offers up a few colour pages in a well chosen soft pallet. This is always a nice touch, which appeals to many collectors of hard cover books. ![]() The collected edition of “ No Longer Human” is the first to sport a dust jacket, that when removed exposes larger art pieces taken from the pages. To quickly touch on the quality of the release, Viz Media has given Ito's work a new life, with the last several collections of his work being bound in hardcover and on superior paper stock. As a result, my critique will only reflect Ito's work and not touch on any comparisons to the source material. “Plagued by a maddening anxiety, the terrible disconnect between his own concept of happiness and the joy of the rest of the world, Yozo Oba plays the clown in his dissolute life, holding up a mask for those around him as he spirals ever downward, locked arm-in-arm with death.” (Viz Media) Buy This Titleīefore discussing the manga, I feel it is important to note that I went into this being familiar with Ito's work, and only knowing Osamu Dazai through other media references. ![]()
