I've heard about Osamu Dazai before it's truly a tragic story. Humans are so broken and no one can truly understand someone else entirely, and it's just scary tbh. also great video again bro your lowkey inspirational. people think that you can't be influenced by small channels but you can, it's easy to tell that you put a lot of effort in and it does help like in my case since I make videos on anime/manga I can view points that make your videos better and try to take some of those points for myself.
Yeah the book was really good especially at the end and there are definitely pointers you can take from it. It kinda is flattering you think that of my channel, I think we both work just as hard as any channel, hope you grow exponentially and hope for both of us to be successful
@@BasedBuffet thanks man, I believe we will genuinely make it one day.
“I can no longer write.”
- Osamu Dazai
I finished it 2 days ago. It was especially difficult to get trought the last part. 1st and 2nd notebook were sad, but the 3rd notebook was hopeless.
The ending just hurts
The part that made me feel like I couldn't keep reading was when he coughed up blood, washed his face with snow and cried "Where does this little path go?"
The manga is much better. Read that
@@chriswheeler3103 no
I kept reading it reapedtedly because dazai said "a good book is a good book so read it reapedtedly" it made me cry
That's exactly what alcoholism feels like. A chronic emptiness that is insatiable and a mental state which separates you from the rest of humanity. Combine those with a physical phenomenon which damns the drinker to consume more once any alcohol passes their lips. "The opposite of addiction is connection"
The antonym of addiction is connection, you could say.
I'm glad I'm not an alcoholic, honestly I will never understand how anybody could get addicted to alcohol, I mean it's fun to drink and relax but if you drink too much then you just become incredibly sick and start constantly spinning out mentally.
Im not an alcoholic but Ive been battling depression for a few years and I understand exactly what you mean. The disconnect and the need to find anything to feel that hole. Thats exactly why I dont mess with drugs I just know I could end up addicted
Totally disagree, u couldnt said that shit worse
reading about the sexual abuse yozo went through as a child broke my heart. maybe he was genetically predisposed to depression or alcoholism, but i believe that the assault and untreated trauma was always the root of all his lifelong isolation and feelings of hopelessness :(
the distrust and inability to understand others, the feeling of being unable to control his own life, the crippling fear of refusing what is given to him and upsetting others… a lot of survivors experience the same thing. It’s so sad that he never got help.
facts about Osamu Dazai
He real name is shuji Tsushima
He did 9 suicide attempts with only the 9th ending successful
Death suicide drowning in a river
Found 6 days later dead found dead the same day as his birth
no longer human was one of the most if not the most relatable book ive ever read. it was amazingly relatable. the tragic way dazai wrote nlh was just breathtaking. they way he portrayed such deep topics that are sadly so understandable to me and others. all throughout notebooks 1, 2, & some of 3 were just hitting so close to home.
It hurts even more when you realize it was an autobiography
@@BasedBuffet i believe it was a semi-autobiography, according to the back of the printed copy
@@cynthia-nh2zq oh yeah you’re right, I heard it was an extreme dramatization of Dazai himself
This is a certified hood classic
Indeed
As an autistic man who was bullied and ostracized his whole life, I relate deeply to the disconnection from the world and sense of not being human Dazai describes.
I think I’m gonna go and read this book, although I’m afraid it might push me over the edge…
It’s definitely has intense themes, I thin Kafka on the Shore might be a better read!!
have you read it now?
@@notalice... Not yet, I don’t have much time this year because of finals, but it’s definitely on my list.
The book was amazing as I got to the end and was left with the description of “even though he did drink he was a good boy- an angel” I just sat there thinking over what I just read and the life I watched spiral
Yeah emphasizes depression and addiction and what it does to someone really well
@@BasedBuffet exactly, loved the video keep up the good work
@@joemcgroarty7250 :)
All I can say is that the book was relatable. It doesn't seemed like 'SAD' to me, the emotion I felt was more close to comfort. I constantly, myself endulge in despair and my eyes seem to see nothing but despair yet I can't say it. Being clouded by emotions and desiring death...it all just seemed so familiar and the weight in my heart just seemed to lighten for the time I read through the book. Didn't even feel the time pass by, truly a work of art indeed and I love the way you presented it. Thanks
You are not like him, you are human, the point of the story is his inability to feel.
@@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051 He is a human as well. He feels he's different. I'm not saying we are the same. Of course we're different. I'm just saying there was something there that touched a part of me. I had intrusive thoughts similar to his narration much before. The more I lived, I more I felt like I was different from a normal human being. When I speak of despair, what I mean is my feeling of watching this world from behind a screen. Nothing that happened around me, all the love and hate and everything that was expressed or kept hidden, seemed worthless and I was scared. Terribly scared by everyone. I just happened to find these emotions relating but I wouldn't say I'm like him. Even with my pitiful self, I've firmly decided to keep living and face a natural death, atleast till I go insane. He chose to die by his own choice
“Some people are destined to fall” okay damn, intro is just a punch in the face 🥲
Sorry the book left me in the feels lmao
He Mentioned That yozo saw his wife get raped , but its not mentioned in the bookk.....😶
@@chussmaker6014 it does
Well now we know bsd fans , who is Osamu dazai and what his character is mostly where it is taken from
Just finished junji itos depiction. I wanted to find how people interpreted it, only to find out it was based on a true story. God damn, my heart
Truly a heartbreaking story
read furuya's manga instead. way better
@@sage9499 I think they both tell different stories , itos is more about society and furuyas is more about yozo
To be honest I really don’t think he loved anyone. He mentions he’s not sure of the woman’s name anymore even though he says he loved her and he got with his second wife because she was easy trusting and a virgin. He even mentions having to forgive her when she gets raped. Same disconnection from any men, he doesn’t seem to have strong feelings towards anyone except his father.
I think the only person he loved was tsuneko, the rest were just hostile creatures
He Mentioned That yozo saw his wife get raped , but its not mentioned in the bookk.....😶
Nah he just forgot their name.
Trust me I'm literally him.
@@chussmaker6014i think he was talking about Yoshiko (the 17-year-old), who got raped by Horiki due to her inclination to trust people :(
@@chussmaker6014 It is mentioned in the book... "The light was lit and two animals were visible...I stood petrified on the staircase, not even thinking to help Yoshiko" (148 [Kindle Version]).
The saddest part for happend when he talked to the daughter of that lady, when she mentioned her father he got scared.
I never felt so related to something before and this book was so relatable to me that it kinda made me feel at ease . I couldn't believe I have found someone who could easily write my complex feelings.
Tried to convey the message the best I could
I haven't read the book yet but i'll defenitly buy it after this video! This deserves so much more attention, it's so good!!
Thank you:)
Wow an incredible video, truly. You perfectly summed up all the despair and morals of the book in a wonderfully solemn way. I had never before considered the rooftop scene in which they are discussing the antonym of crime to be yozo implying that he feels its a crime to live, I swear this book just keeps getting more and more heartbreaking! 😭😭
the entire book is just the meme that says "the class clown at home" lmaoo
This makes so much sense thank you! I especially couldn't understand the last bit. The whole story seemed somewhat empty and emotionless as if the person was watching the world through a mask, through someone else.
Thank you! That’s how it seem to me too
Loved your review, so concise and eloquent. Thanks dude! 💛
I just remember bawling at the end. He was an angel.
I love that the video ends on a positive note and its something i really agree with .Just finished the manga version of no longer human so i was cheking some videos out, good one .
Thx glad you enjoyed it:)
If my narcissistic personal wasn't so strong, i wouldn't be in this world . luv yall remmber u matter to someone even if it just to ur self. Look in mirror see in to ur eyes n notice how beautiful you are
Just found your content at 5am so keep it up your stuff is great
Thank you :)
this video was amazing, you are super underrated. Thank you for this, it recapped so much of the novel for me since last time i read it was as a child and now ive just been crying (but in the good way). I wish you the best and success with the channel
Thank you! I tried to convey my feelings about the book the best way I could and it’s nice to see people like you enjoy it!
You are so c-cool! 😩
@@jesseroberts5618 yo🥺
@@jesseroberts5618 faxx
I want to read this so much, still sounds like a angsty book but I still want to read it
I listened to the audiobook version of it and missed when it changed into the epilogue so I had to relisten to it a few times but oh boy when I finally heard it I could not stop crying
I didn’t expect this from you based great work
Thank you my good sir
As many have pointed out.. this book is more comforting for me.. to know there are people who would understand this perspective.. Not out of narcissism but its a genuine confusion and depression.. Nihilism and suicide according to me kinda are interlinked.. and yes suicidal thoughts develop slowly its not like you snap into it... or out of it.. it stays with you.. but it also makes you not care about materilistic world.. thats the only positive of this spiral of thought.
One of my favourite books! Great video too :)
Thx:)
This was hands down amazing
Thanksgiving
great video :)
Great review thank you
Glad you liked it!
Might have to cop the book👀
You should
i finished this book supposedly six months ago. it left me rethinking my life
Just finished the book, and now 30 minutes later, i started to cry.
Hey, man - found your video via Reddit. Your content gives me the same vibe as my own vids, haha, so you've earned a new sub.
Cheers and keep it up :D.
Awe shucks man you gonna make me cry thanks for this and keep up the good work🤧
what's the song in the end? the piano?
How melancholic.
Me who got to know of the book by bungou stray dogs
I am too dumb to understand
Im 13 and I'm going to read it, wish me luck
Underrated channel
Means a lot thank you
Man this was great
I mean😳
Man you never miss I guess
Do I? Maybe😳
Now this was epic
Major epic
I will follow the same steps of Dazai one day, its sad that I related to much to this book
You will not follow him… you have your own path to make footprints in. Ik how it feels to hurt like this. But pls take care of yourself… ur deserving of love and support. Pls find help if you think you’re not worthy of life or love or whatever, because u are.
stuff like this makes me very sad and hopeless for our future generations and how they interpret life, this story is one of a broken man never to change and chooses to suffer throughout life by feeding the ego with guilt from pain given to others rip
If thought about we don't really "know" anything ...about anything at all
Damn rip to my man oba
Big rip
he didn't die
Should I read the book or manga?
What!?wow😭
Can I read it online guys?
good video
:)
Lit 🔥

I have read it but l have been alot of hard time but l feel like it was nothing feel to me
Well what a surprise
A surprise to be sure
I love dazai
Literally me to be honest
nice... im from reddit
Sheeeeeeessh thanks😳
I feel like him. Honestly, thinking about an attempt tonight, and might if I fail my exam tomorrow...
Came here researching AI. Wasn't expecting to find a like soul.

@@BasedBuffet Thanks. I got numbers on my action plan my therapist and I made. It just feels like so much is riding on this test. Income and chance to get into a healthier environment if I pass, and being stuck here an extra month and trying to come up with $100 if I fail.
@@rmt3589 I understand, I really do pray you pass your test homie
@@BasedBuffet Thanks! I need all the prayers I can get!
@@rmt3589 What happened bro?
The most depressing book from... Everhwere?
Yeah, that book is
roooouuuuuuuugh.
Towards the end is where it got kinda wack and not the good kind but the sad kind😔
I'm after bungou stray dogs.
Just finished it… FUCK
I was reading throughout the book trying to find the part where I’m supposed to feel bad for him…
I didn’t cry or sob , but it hit me hard and fast , the book was tragic no it was a comic …

Actually he did in the book, it was his second wife Michiko. However in Dazai’s real life none of his spouses ever experienced this.
@@BasedBuffet The girls that he had been with are , Tsuneko , Shizuko and Yoshiko. Who is Michiko now?
@@chussmaker6014 oh sorry it’s been a while since I read the book, Im pretty sure it happens to Yoshiko. Michiko is actually someone in real life I think
Holee Christ
shucks man
That’s what I’m saying!
The book gives me ideas as a writer
Same
is it safe for an 11 yo to read it?
I think you need to reread the book you poorly retold the story
I was very new to creative reviews so I apologize that it was bad for you!
@Based Buffet please don't misunderstand. I feel like there is much more to learn in this book. Thank you for being interested in japanese literature.
@@goslingbro thank you, I’m very interested in Japanese literature and want to study more!
This book is traysh, in my opinion
I finished it today. Read the last chapter during my should’ve been relaxing time outdoor while drinking coffee and watching my mom to finish playing volley with her friends. I got really depressed instead finishing the novel.. 🫠
