We’re very excited for the new Jino Ito that just arrived! A bit of a departure from recent work, No Longer Human Adapts Osamu Dazai’s final novel, which is widely regarded as a classic of Japanese literature. As always with Ito, not for the faint of heart, and this time not in the way you’d expect. Get down here before 3.30 early closing for a very last minute gift for the horror fan in your life. Viz says: “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. Osamu Dazai’s immortal―and supposedly autobiographical―work of Japanese literature, is perfectly adapted here into a manga by Junji Ito. The imagery wrenches open the text of the novel one line at a time to sublimate Yozo’s mental landscape into something even more delicate and grotesque. This is the ultimate in art by Ito, proof that nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche.” @vizmedia #junjiito #horrorcomics #comics #lastminutegifts #terrorofbeing #japanese #manga #existentialism #graphicnovel (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6dOQX3BuQW/?igshid=144i3eoin509d
