Mr. Osamu..?

I don't want you dead

I thought I died

My life was full of shame

{\pos(241,60)}No Longer Human

{\pos(241,63)}1946 Tokyo

The girl really died?
- Yes! Only Dazai survived, and he wrote about it in his novel

Seriously?
- Yeah.. He's insane.



I honestly like it tho.
- But can he write?
- He was drug addicted and in mental hospital!

He tried another joined suicide.
- Really? I wonder recently.. He still writing about death?

Everything can be his material.
He would do anything for that

What's that?

A love letter.. I guess?

Love letter..?
What is that?

Here you go, Masaki

Excuse me

How is going, sir?
- How.. it is going..?

I've told you I'll do it after this writing..
- I know I know

Just in case, you know?
The next one will be your masterpiece

Masterpiece? That sounds good

You finally make a masterpiece

I am thirsty
- I see. I'll bring tea



You shut up, Sakura

She's never praised my work ever.
- You told me this'll be your greatest work

I cannot wait, Osamu Dazai

I am a big fan of you since my shoolhood

Well.. I have made plan already..

You think it is good?
- Hmm.. I'd say romance.. Yeah..

"Dear, I am thinking of you.. Well it sounds strange.."

"But I've been really thinking of you. Just being honest"

"I understand what you told me. You are no longer alone"
"I am yours now."

"Let's change the name on the letter. Just in case.."

"Please live your life, my precious..."

Love.

A woman is visiting me?
- Ya her name is Oda

Umm..

She is Shizuo Oda from Idu, the sender of the letter
- Ya

Are you angry..?

No

I wanted to see you..
- You did nothing wrong

You are 30 years old,
but so baby.

Don't stare at me..
- I just want to

What happened to the remarriage plan?
Won't become a wife?
- Not wife, but lover.

That guy found out that I don't have any property.

And he wanted me as a lover, not wife
- That's awful.. - But it's a good idea

I'm tired of marriage. I can't live without true love

And? You sent me the letter to me?
Me, a writer with no money?

Because I like you

Excuse me

We are in love?
- You are funny, Shizuko.

Everyone is poor, and does everything for their lives.
But you are completely different

You choose falling.

Let's fall together, Shizuko

Love each other for dear life..

Hey.
- Hello sir.. Hm?

She is..?
- Pupil. Can I have a room?

Need to talk with her.
- Girl, I wouldn't do it with this bad guy.

He has a wife.
- No worry. This love is all for the art. She must understand this

Shizuko is amazing, huh?
She's living right in this moment

Fell from upper class.. and love to live

You are such a bad guy..
You wife is pregnant, isn't she?

It happens. I fell in love..

Cute

You make me so alive

Shizuko

Let me read your diary..
- But.. that's for.. - I know

For your novel, but I wanna use it for myself

No.. for ourselves. - But..
- I pay 10k yen. You can live for an year

You here for that? That is why you met me?
- No way

I really wanted to see you

Shizuko?

Let's create a new art

You are a part of my novel, and live forever.
We are the only one who can do this

I..

I want your baby

..?
- A healthy baby from this true love

Please

..um ya..

Good!!

Then.. come to Idu.
And love me

Then I can show you my diary

Oh my god..

What should I do..

Shut up.
- Mr Sakaguchi. Are you okay?

Dazai..
Oh gimme a glass.

I don't wanna be like this..
- You will be

I will make my masterpiece. Better than your "Discourse on Decadence"

Masterpiece means the biggest sale, right?
- Nice definition, Dazai..

Write it then.. your masterpiece..

Are you in hell? You writing it in the hell?

You have family, so you cannot?

Bullshit

You are a novelist. Do not have such a thing.

Well those are not that bad..
- Human fell to hell

Falling because living..

Dazai..

Fall deeper.. much deeper

I believe they can write novels because they are broken

That is why I give my everything to him
And jump in his world

I wanna see what will happen..

This is the love for a new art

Hey

You also smell like ume (Japanese plum)

You thinking of me?

I was waiting for love

Nice
Looks like Christ's dinner

Shizuko.. - Yes?
- Where is it? - What..?

I was enjoying the Accumulation of Capital by Rosa Luxemburg

I was surprised with his braveness destroying the old style without any hesitations.

destruction.. it is miserable and sad
But beautiful

What was I doing..

I never thought of revolution..
Neither love..

although human.. is born for the revolution and love

This is good.
- Really? - Yes amazing.

As I thought

Your diary has something intense

I can do it

Our novel..?
- Ya

Exactly

Is this a sin?

Maria is pure, so no idea what we are doing

Do you know the phrase of Lermontov's poem?

"It Is The Sick Oyster Which Possesses The Pearl."

Only the one get hurt makes something beautiful

Amazing..
- I'm visiting you soon

Why?

I can't
I'll start from tomorrow

I don't wanna stay away

I wanna be a lover rather than a wife without love

Novelist Dazai will die in the ocean
- No thanks!

Women don't like the ocean

when she feels death, she would shout another man's name

Finally came

Empty the pot!

I thought you were suffered more
- I am

Full of suffering

That's why I'm drinking everyday!

Sir, answer me
What do you wanna do before die?

I wanna love..
- You have a wife

Love for the dear..
- It is not right!

It depends on people.
- Good! You know things

You are cool Tomie
- men are contradict themselves - Really?

Maybe it is immoral for household

But it is not contradiction. Actually it's proper

It's primary proper.
- How?

Humans are born for the revolution and the love..

I like water.

I am scared of this river..
- Scary?

Because.. this river eats human body..
The dead body cannot be out from this river

Interesting

I wanna die like that..
leave nothing behind me..

I..

Sir..? Sir..!

Where are you? I just asked how far you written

Sir!
- .. I said I haven't..

No.. Not right..
- What?

I.. - It's okay
You like me

SIr.. Please!
- Damn.. fine..

You so annoying!

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Delicious

Delicious!

Good!

Goood

What is this bug

Where you go?

Where is the bug?

Disappeared

Thanks god..

Oh my..
- This is bad

Soon

I hope everything good

The Villon's Wife.. this is popular

The ideal wife of a novelist..
Everyone thinks you are the model

You didn't like it, that's why you wrote this, right?
- Everyone cannot understand that..

Interesting..

First time to see

you writing in this bad condition..

I can't

You cannot write?
- I am scared..

Will be waste of time
He stayed away right after the baby stuff

He just cannot make time for me

Well.. he just left

Because of you, I feel ashamed

What do you mean?
How come you feel ashamed?

What?
- Don't care about someone who don't know

I am living following my heart

Say something like that when you afford yourself.
- You never understand, Kaoru

This is an art

This is special.
Nothing about reality or people.. This is the revolution

Sir! I read your Villon's Wife

It was amazing!
- I want that kind of wife

See? He even try to avoid us

Novelist? Artist?
Just a human

"You cannot say that"
Sad..

Good good let's keep this and escape from them. Oh are you drinking?
- Why the heck you.. baby?! - Quiet!

I prayed for no baby.. But she asked me
- You.. What did you tell your wife?
- Hell no! Don't say anything to her

I wouldn't be able to write if this goes wrong..

I.. see..

Good. Then go!
I need something special!

Go go. Run!

Sir, she is here

Here she is! Special drink!

Princess! I will have some

This is great!

Cheers!

# The color of love #

# the true love #

# The only star in the night #
# The love coming out #

Who is she?

# If you go deep, that could bring the death #

A model of the Setting Sun..

# That's the man’s spirit #

# If you go deep, that could bring the death #

Aren't you hungry?

Wanna eat something?

# If you go deep, that could bring the death #

# That's the man’s spirit #

# If you go deep, that could bring the death #

You like him

What?

Me too. I like it very much.. his novels

Yeah.. Me too

He said something about revolution and love

Humans are born for the revolution and the love..

That's my word

We are here!

Hey Ima-chan!

Did you read the Villon's Wife?

Don't talk about your love in your novel!

Don't say something like that
Alright? Novels are

fiction!
- But the model is Michiko, right?

The perfect novelist's wife!
She supporting you even you are like this!

Stop talking about that
- Why! He is right

It's not the wife. It is totally fake

Impossible! Cannot be like that to this kind of man

Impossible!
- Shut up

Exist!

Villon's wife exists. I really believe there is someone like that

I knew it!

Love is just temporally.
After man enjoyed enough, he goes back to the family

Why a lover cannot be allowed?

Why? I don't understand. What is the difference?

But.. I understand why lover is good.

It is with happiness.
I love it

I don't mind anyone say bad about the lover..

Because I love being like that

Sir

Tomorrow, it'll rain

I believe so

What?

I feel pain..

in my mind..
I cannot stop thinking about you

Well well..

I am not scared..

For your dear..

Do you love me?

I have to make up my mind.

I.. love him

Action to combat..

The revolution and the love..! So amazing phrase..

The Setting Sun is just too popular..

You should be happy.
- The shit novel..

Don't do that face to Dazai.
You need to let him write a new one

He is now one of the greatest novelists now

I am living..

for you..

We are the real couple.. in the after world..

I will come with you..
No one would know why we will die together..

This is our love..

Love is painful

I wish I was born as your sister..

I could've been with you longer..

Sister..

I wouldn't be able to do like the sister..

The ending of the Sun Setting was so good

Fight with love and man.. and live like a sun..

How did you find out that I was actually thinking like that..?

When I couldn't meet you for a whole day..

I stands in front of your house.. because I wanna be closer to you

Did you know that?
Di you feel me?

I am so sorry that I am the happiest person.

You look gorgeous.

Do I look like one of the greatest novelists?

Who is coming?
- Naoya Shiga, Yasunari Kawabata, Haruo Sato..

Then you are bit weak..
- The sales of mine is huge tho

I heard that

You never praise me..

When you coming back?

I'll be the one

You so idiot

What? You just got abused by them?
- They called me to laugh at me

The novel is vulgar. It is just a story of woman dumped.

Naoya Shiga even didn't read it.
- Give me a one

Well. I enjoyed it, the Sun Setting
- Of course. It is a masterpiece.

Sold more than Sakaguchi

It wasn't masterpiece.

You used woman's diary, didn't you?

Just for as reference

I just wanted ideas.
- But it drew you in deep

You don't understand at all.
- I do. It was not a story of woman dumped.

But the story which woman dumps the society.

If nobody understands that, it is because of your lack of skills.

You saying I should write for idiots?
- I'm saying write more intense even idiots can understand.

Not enough..

I know..
Cut yourself by a knife..

show everything of you..

As if you cut someone, you cut yourself..
I can die if I can write something like that..

That must be called masterpiece.

Don't you think so?

Mr. Shuji
I got a cheery. Look

They wanna stay together.. like us.

Shuji

Excuse me

Sir

You have a visitor.

You came earlier..

My sister born your baby.
I just wanted to tell you that

Good to hear..

How about.. Haruko?
Haru is coming from a part of my name Osamu

Haruko.. like this

What you think?
- Yeah..

{\pos(394,106)}Haruko (治)

{\pos(87,243)} Osamu Dazai (治)

Did you know?

She is a model of the Sun Setting.
I thought you would notice

I think he did too

Stop!
- Get off me! Let me die

Don't try to die alone

Understood?

We die together, right?

Did you make up your mind?

When I knew everything, you planned to die?

No..
- Liar! You told me you love me for everything.

I know.

I do know

Sorry

You were bit late

If I met you 2 months earlier, I wouldn't have been to Idu.

I want your baby

...?!

I do! I want your baby!

I get it

Sure

Really?
- Yees

I want our baby

But.. You gave a part of your name to the baby

Don't cry

Hey. My real name is Shuji, right?

We can use "Shu"

Your everything is mine!
I don't give away even one letter from your name

Sorry

But.. I am so glad that you think of me so deeply

That was a mistake

Should've told me

Don't go to Idu. If you go, I will die.
I won't.. I won't let you die

Promise.
- Promise?

Will you stay with me forever?

Yes. So..

Don't

die. okay?

Promise?

Let me get that

Oh sure?
Can you live for the next month?

No worry

It's alright

What you do?

I quit the job

You don't break up?
- That is too cruel

Why? You went her to escape from the woman

What do you want me to do?

Everyone is precious. Everyone needs me

You.. always run away..

You are just still old style! Revolution? Love? You are just old fashion.
- Then you do it. - No

I won't do something like that for myself

You.. You think I am doing this without pain?

I despite you from the bottom of my heart

I am this kind of human.
You can leave anytime.

I have thousands of editors..

Wait..

Write!!

the No Longer Human

You said you have something you really want to write 7 years ago

No Longer Human..

It is about yourself, isn't it?

Please write it

Alcohol, drug, suicide..

Only you

can write the novel.

You said enough..?

Pardon me

Mr. Shuji

I bought this..

Shuji!

Shuji

Dad..?

What happened?

Hey..

Let's leave

Dad is working.

Working..?
- Yes

Don't bother him

I'm sorry

So sorry

I'm sorry

I let you see the dad..

I..

I can't..

Kidding

I am fine

My loves..

Mt. Fuji

It's huge

Your father and I..

lived near Mt. Fuji

after the arranged marriage.

We had nothing at the time

Many things happened..

Like ghost..

he was writing novels everyday..

I.. I liked the letters

he wrote

I know.. he is a genius.
He is talented.

He can write much better one

Stay away

Hey?

Can you hear me?

Hello!

Shuji?

Overtake of sleeping pills

But the problem is his lungs.

He hates doctors..
- Stop him alcohol and tabaco! He wouldn't survive the winter

You let him die?

Get me one please!
- I want it too!

Give me!

The book got so popular

Even kids know the word sun setting.

But.. he stopped writing long novels

He cannot.. his body is too damaged.

Let's bet what kills Dazai?
Alcohol, tabaco, or women..

Woman! Woman!
- No must be tuberculosis

No not today..

I want your baby..

Humans are born for the revolution and the love

This is what I wrote

You impressed?

What if my name is on this book, next to your father's name?

Oops. I shouldn't call him your father.

I feel sorry for his wife.

Masaki

Only Mr. Dazai can write that

Now sun setting means also downfall.
This is a social phenomenon

You are the national novelist

Many want to make films of it

I see your name everyday on the newspaper

Many women admire her in the novel

This is the revolution!
- Did you read this?

Naoya Shiga finally read the Sun Setting

He doesn't like this pose

This? Or this?

Or this, huh?

I can't stand anymore

I will criticize the great novelists.

Before I die, I will abuse them

Who will publish this?

Good job Sakura.

Sure I will talk with you again

Thank you so much

I hate your literature, Dazai

Weak literature about death

Who are you?
- I am Mishima

I am Yukio Mishima

And?

So?

Who are you?
- Mishima is a young novelist. Also a government official

Well well

Such an upper class greatest person

Is it weakness, novelists write death in the novel?

People are only interested in how you die.

You made Japanese literature as a show business

Do you have resolution to die in front of the reader?
- You! Behave yourself

Sir.. Sir..!

Stop!

Sir!!

Disgusting..

Oh shit

I failed again.
Don't miss it the next time..

Don't you feel empty?

No one understands what you really wanna tell

You know that

Then what made you keep writing?

You will see..
- Sir..

You like me

That's why you came here

You're terrible

How could you still alive

Good sight..

Because of my lungs

I feel I am scary God

Let's go

A letter? From the hospital?

No

I see.
- Thanks

Thank you

Tax office..?

You don't go to the hospital?

When dad came back

He won't..
He is not here all the time

I told him to come back
- He won't

He is working.. with women

He will.
He will come back

No.. too much..

Too similar..

I mean not to me

I have seen someone look alike this

Maria

This is annoying

Maria wants reputation

I want my name on the book

Why don't we go to Tokyo and ask the publisher?

I will write a letter to arrange that

Can't wait!
We can finally meet Dazai-chan

Do whatever you want

Oh my..

Why the hell is this.
It should have been solved with the 10k yen

She used all.. I heard

I am writing even coughing up blood!

Yeah.. this is it. Let's meet

Just die if got a problem

No way! She has a child!

Then go ahead. Don't mind me.
I have cyanide for me

I see.
I won't

I love you

Excuse me

Sir

Your wife is..

What will you get in the end?

You can rebuild your life again

You should break up

Mr. Sakura..

Do you like the Sun Setting?

I do like it

Only the people who fell down can understand this book

Are you crying?

Why.. why?

The deadline is the next month

We could build a new house with the money

Alcohol.. - No
- Bring it now! - We don't have anymore

God damn it!

I don't have to pay the tax..

How come..

It is over..

I can't live anymore..

The next month, we have the first anniversary.
What should I cook..

Crab.. chicken pot..

Yeah it's a good idea.. Oh I should buy that too..
- Everyone..

told me to stay in a mountain..

If I stay in Tokyo, I will really die..

Stay away from everything..

and be healthy

and come back to the family..

I lived like that before.. you know?

Everyday, I stare at Mt. Fuji from the window..

You always stay in the next room..

You remember that time?

Wake up!
He is not even thinking about you little

Do you wanna know his plan?

He stays in countryside and live alone
- Get off me

Why you don't understand

He will run away from you. And live.
He is coward. You won't have anything after all

You won't such as a book like Sun Setting or even his child..

Because you have nothing.
You are just a lover

Cut it out!

He will die for me
Because I will do that for him

Only I can stay with him forever

Where are you going?
- Hospital

I just received a letter
- And..?

No.. my sister couldn't

I wanted to stay with her in the end..

You don't have to come back..

Don't try to come back to the family

It is meaningless

Just destroy it.
And you can write the masterpiece, right?

You always think about us.. and couldn't die because of it.

Even if you come back..
I won't have any respect for you

I believe

You can write something more

Destroy

Destroy us.

And complete your true masterpiece.

That is what you wanna do.

Take care

No sense abuse other people.

Their books should be abused

Naoya Shiga.. He is an amateur.

He is just conceited.. That is why he looks great.

They never know what is suffering..

The thing I really complain to the senior novelists..

Put period here. And here

And this is misspell

You think I should write a novel instead of these abuse?

Yes I do.
But these are also your words, so

My job is spreading out what you said

Oh here she is.

What?
- Um.. but.. - It's okay

Carry on

The title is Nozegamo

You listen to my

final abuse

I am tired of their confidence

How come they

can be confident so much

What is their God..

It is a family.
Egoism of the family

They just like wife and children

That's it.

Welcome back

Thank you

What was your relationship with Osamu Dazai?

I think I loved him for my all life

He had everything I wanted.

That memory gives me dream world until I die

Maybe not now..

Not today. Tomorrow.. or a few days later
