"Ningen Shikkaku", an anthology that parodies these stories by Dazai Osamu: "Ningen Shikkaku" (No Longer Human), "Shayou" (The Setting Sun) and "Hashire Merosu" (Run, Melos!).
I thought this book must have been targeted right at me, and I was not disappointed. It was interesting to see the different artists' interpretation of the characters, mostly sharing the same personalities as the original works but visualized in very different ways. Also, since the original writings were somewhat depressing, this book come out as extremely cheerful in contrast. Very entertaining overall.
