Information

Description

No Longer Human”, Junji Itou’s version of Osamu Dazai’s novel “No Longer Human”, is about Youzou Ooba, who doesn’t see himself as a “real” person: he doesn’t understand what it means to “be human” and what exactly makes a human being. Even as a child, he found all the employees in his household horrible and hated them, though he never showed them that. He had often tried to lead an ordinary life and went through life with a façade of hollow cheerfulness. But when he finally meets Sachi, everything changes. Together with her, he wants to jump into the Tama River to commit a double suicide. However, Youzou is not even lucky then and survives …
In »No Longer Human«, Junji Itous Version von Osamu Dazais Roman »Gezeichnet« aus dem Jahr 2017, geht es um Youzou Ooba, der sich selbst nicht als einen »richtigen« Menschen sieht: Er versteht nicht, was es bedeutet »ein Mensch zu sein« und was einen Menschen ausmacht. Bereits als Kind fand er all die Angestellten in seinem Haushalt schrecklich und hasste sie; gezeigt hat er ihnen das aber nie. Oft hatte er versucht, ein normales Leben zu führen, und ist mit einer Fassade hohler Heiterkeit durch das Leben gegangen. Als er schließlich Sachi kennenlernt, ändert sich jedoch alles. Zusammen mit ihr will er in den Fluss Tama springen, um dort einen Doppelselbstmord zu begehen. Allerdings hat Youzou nicht einmal dabei Glück und überlebt …
Testo della bandella:
Yozo Oba non riesce a capire le ragioni della felicità degli altri, eppure non può fare a meno di preoccuparsi dell’opinione di chi lo circonda. Ossessionato dal giudizio altrui, decide di indossare una maschera da eccentrico buffone, votando alla bizzarra pratica tutto se stesso. Questo è il racconto della sua vita, vissuta giorno dopo giorno con un latente desiderio di morire … Con questa miniserie in tre volumi, adattamento dell’omonimo romanzo di Osamu Dazai, Junji Ito ci regala una nuova storia di alienazione e di «squalifica» assolutamente da brivido. Consigliato a un pubblico adulto.
