With this retelling of the story, Junji Ito had added his own craftsmanship in adding the bizzare and thought-provoking horrors into the story, making it much more graphic, literal and expressive for the reader. The art is refined , detailed and grotesqe, and the story benefits from it.
Character-wise, the main one is portrayed great, but no one else from the cast is given detail and relatebility, which makes half of the protagonist's aquaintances feeling like a cannon-fodder.
The deep and realistically harsh portrayal of the human psyche, as well as showing the readers that people shouldn't look as a monsters to behave like one, solidifies this work as an exploration of the depths of the human mind, and it's void of malice and vice.
No Longer Human is a timeless classic and must-read for anyone interested in the human mind or in the way we bond with the others, and the remake of Junji Ito is a good gateway to experience the story.
