This book is an absolute masterpiece, no matter what people might try to say, it IS depressing and leaves u empty, however it was really interesting; I really enjoy dazai osamu’s works, this was my favorite out of the ones I’ve read, he is able to word my thoughts in a way I never thought anyone would be able to, he describes humanity as if he is watching from afar, he was such an interesting person, this is my favorite book of all time.

[@coldtaboo]

Omg I read this book around the time season 2 came out and hooooly shit wow. It’s basically the author’s s*1c1de note / autobiography (considering parallels with his own life and what happened after he wrote it, despite it being “fiction”). Tldr this one is intense n if u struggle with mental illness I would not trigger urself with this - it’s not just ur average depressing book, it’s his last work and generally agreed to be his s***** note & about his struggles under the veneer of “fiction”. It is incredibly well written tho so if u can handle it go for it

I read this book when I was around 12 and still own it before Bungo stray dogs came out since I lived in Japan in my childhood and it was a “classic” It’s a very depressing book about the real dazais life. While he changed his and some of the peoples names in the book. It’s a semi-autobiography book which means it’s his life with a different name to people and ofc references and puzzles for what happened in his life. Since i love art and animation, someone said my character looked like dazai from Bungo stray dogs when I started writing my light novel “vehemence”. So I searched up the character last year and watched the series and watching S4 rn. It’s pretty good. and ofc. I read the novels of bsd which are also well written.
