No Longer Human

Manga version of the novel Ningen Shikkaku by Osamu Dazai.

Set in modern day Tokyo, Dazai's tale details the life of a young man originally from a well-off family from Japan's far north. Yozo Oba is a troubled soul incapable of revealing his true self to others. A weak constitution and the lingering trauma from some abuse administered by a relative forces him to uphold a facade of hollow jocularity since high school. The series is composed of three parts, referred to in the novel as "memorandums," which chronicle the life of Oba from his teens to late twenties.

Manga based on the original classic novel by Dazai Osamu. Illustrated by Yasunori Ninose, it depicts human beings' negative emotion and sexual intercourse as tentacles, which have enthralled Ninose since he was five years old.
