Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness. No Longer Human has been adapted as a graphic novel by horror manga artist Junji Ito, made into an anime film, Human Lost ,directed by Fuminori Kizaki and is the name of an ability in the manga series Bungo Stray Dogs used by a character named after Dazai."

It’s a reminder of how we really can differ from person to person and it’s a tragic story of someone trying to find their way in their isolation. I’m not the best at reviews hahaha but I think this book is amazing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sadness *by R***N on 16 April 2023* No Longer Human is a great book, which holds a lot of meaning and story behind it. It was a semi-biography I believe from the author, and was published a few months before Osamu Dazai committed suicide. If you like to tear yourself down and cry about a book non-stop, then buy it And I would like to say that Osamu Dazai was abused by women in the majority of his life, so that’s why women in the book may not have the best of all picture! ## Frequently Bought Together - No Longer Human - The Setting Sun (New Directions Book) - Crime and Punishment (Vintage Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/66336636-no-longer-human-new-directions-book](https://www.desertcart.in/products/66336636-no-longer-human-new-directions-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
