I'm really not much of a manga reader, but the plot sounded interesting. It was ok I guess, but the character despondency and general sociopathology left me not really giving a shit. I don't have it in me to appreciate this particular personality type in a character or a person therefore the low rating. All around not my kind of book. Maybe someone that can relate may enjoy this.

A creative idea for a manga series but the solutions to each of the students' problems seem a bit too easy at times... Everything is wrapped up neatly in a nice bow but doesn't always feel realistic in terms of the seriousness of some of the problems. But I think this is fairly typical for the genre.

This is a pretty solid volume about a depressed teen who feels alienated from the world and believes that he needs to play a role in order to fit in (hello, younger me). I totally related to the main character's feelings of not understanding other people and his whole existential crisis. The story is fast-paced with some intense moments, and the art does what it needs to do. I do feel that everything goes by pretty quickly, I would have liked to delve further into the protagonist's head, as dark a place it would have been... but I would probably have to read Dazai's original work for that (actually, the reason I picked this one up was because I was already interested in the original novel).… (more)
