Junji Ito Interview | Adapting No Longer Human | VIZ

[@cellular.opioid]

I love how modest this man is. When asked about what major changes or improvements he made, he named every person of influence in his decision. And when he didn't, he shows doubt whether his decision were wise or not. I have an incredible amount of respect for him.

That's due to his japanese culture. Shame is a huge thing there, that's why they end up killing themselves so often, even kids as young as 11 years old every single year end themselves. Their personality and desires get squished to give space to the status quo. Even if they wanted to say "I'm the best" they wouldn't because that would mean social suicide. That's why you can't know for sure if someone is humble or honest in Japan. They even have a word for it: tatemae.

Osamu Dazai and Junji Ito is like a match made in heaven.

[@eaon9649]

I just finished No Longer Human and the story of this man, Yozo Oba is so tragic and truly horrific as Ito says in the video. The horror that I sympathize with in the story and the character is that I hope not to have a life like this. Excellent story.

[@FireDreamShow]

The saddest part is that the novel its based on is a semi-autobiography of the author osamu dazai

[@itsyaboy9829]

@@FireDreamShow i heard he ended up killing himself in the end after he finished the book.

"I may have overdone it... But i had fun" :) my man Ito can never overdue anything. it was a fantastic Adaptation

[@Forbiddensirenz]

Man. This is weird. I’ve been having an itch to read No Longer Human again lately and thought to look up if there was a free audio book here on KZbin to listen to while I’m at work. Then I happen to see this video and learn my favorite artist/writer Junji Ito has now made his own adaptation of it. And with Christmas coming up. I think I’ll treat myself. But that’s such a weird coincidence.

[@aidenrandall9279]

There is a free audiobook but it's split into videos per each part of it

[@cluelessdrifter9881]

Already ordered my copy, I'm a big fan of the novel.

Clueless Drifter i have never read the novel and I wanted to buy the manga , did junji ito change any of the story?

[@cluelessdrifter9881]

@@honya9901 there are a few changed elements, nothing major though. It is highly faithful to the novel.

[@honya9901]

Clueless Drifter thank you

[@AS-um5eu]

Oba's Yozo character couldn't understand humans which is where all his hardships stem from, he doesn't know how to act like a human being when it comes to facing up to challenges, instead he's aware of them but doesn't know how to act during in situations. Reading it again has made me self conscious of everything

[@blackknightz5036]

He seem like he can see things that we don't and he live with it every second of his life

[@leninthebeaniesouhacker.2459]

junji ito: become human.

Just finished reading the copy yesterday and when I look back on certain pages I can still feel my heart beat faster and my fingers shake. Such a horror, tragic life. The illustration, the story, simply a masterpiece.

[@punkybubblegum]

Grabbed a copy yesterday! I respect Junji Ito so much as an artist and a person, can't wait to see what he has in store!

[@GermanStewart]

I read it just about 15 minutes ago. Now i feel empty, especially because some of the themes in this story resonate with my own live.

[@KazumaIshinpabu]

伊藤さんありがとう！このマンガをありがとう。何度も読みました。素晴らしい本で、とてもサディスティックです。このマンガは、自分の状況と、どうすればうつ病に打ち勝つことができるかについて考えさせてくれます。 Viz さん、伊藤潤二さんに感謝します。

[@09nob]

I think it's one his best works so far what a great adaptation.

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

Sensei Ito really hit a home run with this one! It’s another level of great achievement and excellence! The manga is truly an epic as it the story was told in grand scale. There is no other manga or comics that can be read so raw, so detail like I was watching a movie by flipping pages! Truly a masterpiece on it’s own right!

[@fahziani]

i'm big fan of the both of them. While reading the novel made me sad, No Longer Human by Ito-sensei made me so scared😂😩

[@km-zd2ko]

I am not someone who has "depressive" thoughts or what but when i read the novel, i was deeply moved for unknown reason. did i just sympathize? or am really alike with the character in some aspects? confusion

[@shadowthehedgehog9190]

Empathy: the ability to understand [and feel connected with] someone else's emotions. We all experience hardship and tragedy in life, so maybe that is why you felt that connection.

[@increditoaster]

Read both of them and both are worth reading, I loved the language in the book but the story was more detailed in the manga. 10/10

[@ronangreene3000]

Cant wait to get it

[@leo-or4ef]

I'm really intrigued by this book because its the number one bestseller in japan also it is drawn by Junji Ito, should I get a copy?

[@Dionysianparadise]

This may be an arrogant thought even if it’s just a reader who says it but I think that maybe the writer of “no longer human” would’ve liked Junji Ito’s work, I love how he tried to identify with Yozo Oba and maybe even with Osamu Dazai.

I'm actually upset like I cried real tears when I realized that they stopped airing the Boruto dub :'( I've never been so invested on a show this much in a LONG TIME only for it to be halted :'( and right before the movie arc (chunin exam arc) it hurts, it really hurts that it seems no one cares about Boruto.

[@jordanhsquared]

I like Boruto, but please, this isn't the video to complain about this. People came to this video, myself included, because we're Junji Ito fans.

[@johnnyp1986]

Xandra the Barbarian well it is not like they’re going to make a video for people to talk about their opinions on Boruto. A comment like this shouldn’t distract you or anyone from the content of the video. At the time of making that comment, this was the most recent video on the channel so more likely at least someone will see it, like you.
