Thanks, OP.

>>282878368
well, now he got (another) excuse to dump her. thanks op.

another life ruined

>>282878124
I don't even know what to say anymore
>>282878181
bruh
>>282878326
so she's finally losing it, great

>>282878124
I laughed.

>>282878124
Fucking hell man.

alright not to defend Yozo at all in any way, he is a horrible asshole, but everyone around him constantly enables his behaviour. he just gets away with everything and other people will do horrible shit themselves just to please him

>>282878293
Why is he burying them?

>>282879248
squirrel instincts

>>282879248
he doesn't believe in recycling

>>282878124
I don't like this character

>>282879248
the earth deserves some of that morphine, too

>>282878194
>>282878732
if Yozo wasn't so self loathing and pathetic, he could've been the protagonist of a picaresque novel.

>>282879586
i feel ito's yozo is already quite entertaining, he's more an idiot unable to commit to anything rather than a brooding depressed autist like the original.

>>282878368
Thanks OP
>Did you lock the door?
Always

>>282878181
Good lord, you'd think he already reached the bottom but no

>>282878252
I can't believe I'm rooting for her for once
is this what it feels like to be a Tomiesimp?

>>282879248
He feels guilty about how much he's consuming, so he hides the evidence

>>282878355
Oh god please don't tell me she's pregnant

>>282878368
Thanks OP
It's on the chain. I usually don't bother with the actual lock

>>282879248
This was normal and reasonable before the powerful and insidious Recycling Lobby took it away from you.

>>282878368
It took long enough, but being with Yozo finally broke Yoshiko.

>>282878368
>Done. Place your bets! I'm calling OCD.
I don't believe thinking that food a friend of yours brought over being poisoned is OCD, she's going full blown schizo

>>282881683
But the whole cleaning her hands and clothes obsessively is.

>>282881851
maybe she's hallucinating dirt

>>282881851
it's clearly some metaphor

>>282882238
Who says real mental illnesses can't have narrative value as metaphors?

>>282878368
I think her deal is that she's seeing everything as filthy and tainted now.

>>282878124

Thanks anon
>Did you lock the door?
Always, and I double check

>>282880065
Ito decided to try morphine a little during the production of these chapters, you know to get slightly more into character

>>282879248
Hiding the evidence so people/police don't know he has had it.

>>282878073
She's too good for him! Rreeeee!

>>282878181
is the booze and drugs thing supposed to be a metaphor for this manga? this is a dogshit story with objectively awful characters that doesn't elicit any emotion in me other than hatred and anger, yet i keep coming here everyday anyway. almost like an addict or something

>>282881683
It actually is a type of OCD.
OCD is mostly about intrusive thoughts, not needing everything to be clean and organized.

>>282878368
>Did you lock the door?
I don't have OCD or anything but I do check all the locks and doors in the house like, a dozen times a day.

>>282878368
I live alone and have never bothered to lock the door. My suburb has been gentrified a lot over the past 10 years so my house is the most povvo looking on on the block. nobody gonna try and rob the place most likely to not have a big flatscreen to steal

>>282879248
He's been getting them illegally without prescription. Throwing them in the trash, police might find out.

>>282878174
Because she sells you the "medicine"?

>>282878368
Reading this storytime is giving me cancer
Thanks OP

>>282878073

She's waaaaaaaay too good for him

>>282878181
You (and your drugs) are my destiny.

>>282878207
:(

>>282878340
I have to wonder, is this just so the reader knows who she is or does actually not the know the name of the woman he was having sex with and freeloading from

>>282878368
Normal men: I can fix her
Yozo: I can break her into fine dust
Thanks OP

>Did you lock the door?
I was asked to leave it unlocked

>>282878073
She's too sweet.

>>282878124
He FLED.

>>282878174
Honestly, just fuck off man.

>>282878368
Thanks OP.

>>282878368
>Did you lock the door?
coincidentally enough, yesterday was the first time in my entire life I ever let the door open. Granted, my apartment is in a building where only other family members live, but still, it was quite shocking to see the next morning that the door was wide open.

>>282881851
There's also the sudden wondering if she closed the door or not.

>>282878242

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>282893921
>what's the point?
To remind us that Dazai may be temporary, but the struggle for the Sacred Northern Territories is eternal

>>282880127
No. It's all the same shit.

>>282879248
Ruri Rocks taught me that waste management in Japan before the occupation was primitive and destructive.

All that's left is the cops arriving to arrest the pharmacist for illegally selling morphine.

>>282893921
>what's the point?
To make you mad, this manga was made for you

Went to the museum the other day, and I saw a painting that looked exactly like the woman from The Window Next Door

the things women will do for some broke junkie with rotten teeth

>>282905627
You don't get it man, he's super deep and has an obscene air or something

>>282905321
Ito's Yozo is genuinely the most abhorrent character I've ever had the misfortune of reading about. I've read about some truly vile sons of bitches like the dude from the Loan Shark manga but Yozo is a special kind of shitheel. Cowardly, self pitying and incredibly destructive to all around him, he has enough self awareness to know what he does since he stopped himself from ruining that one MILF's life but never again has the wherewithal to not fuck anyone else up. Yozo is the worst because he's the most "normal", he's the type of human parasite you can encounter in real life, he's arguably the scariest monster Ito has ever written.

>>282905550
>When you nut and she keep suckin

>>282905652
Ito barely changed anything. Yozo is just Dazai's autobiographical self-insert, that's why he feels realistic

I think Mishima should've gutted and decapitated Dazai instead

>>282905719
And Ito does a great job of really making the motherfucker look terrible but in a way that's frighteningly down to Earth. Like he never does anything over the top just all these little acts of shittery that pile and pile up and cascade out to everyone around him

>>282905735
He would've fucked that up too

>>282905185
This fucking guy

>>282905059
big jumpscare here

>>282905719
>Ito barely changed anything.
There's lots more people dying in his version, though I'll concede that the characterization of Yozo himself isn't much different even if the events surrounding him are

>>282905321
she's now at peace. hell is for the living ones. thanks op.

>>282905321
Yozo's diejobu is like a overworked salaryman's diejobu.

>>282905321
>Will it be fine?

>Did you lock the door?

I hope so

Doctors at the time were not very effective at mental illnesses, and not very kind to women. Lobotomy or sedatives, every time.

>>282905570
That's how the book named
Thought it sounds more like "Not Human since beginning", instead of current name

>>282905020
>the price of the medicine is nothing to sneeze at
that makes me think, did he ever pay the herb lady? I mean we saw him steal that stuff but I think that was more due to him wanting to take more daily doses than she would allow

>>282912111
Oh, I actually like the manga.
That's probably cause I binge read it a couple years ago, though. I think a daily format is not that suited for this specific title

>>282904879
Oh no, there's a scar on the back of my head...

>>282904964
>I guess I ruined my wife as a person...

>Both Yoshiko and Cessie died today
What an awful day to read daily.

>>282911069
If only there was a goth scene back then and there. She might have had some emotional support.

>>282911133
If he successfully changed he'd still know he was a shitty person. There's no incentive and instant pushback from becoming less predictable.

I get that on a literary level being so self deprecating and raw is more interesting than glazing yourself and what you stand for, but holy shit, I can't stand this level of wicked denseness, I wouldn't read the real book if I had the chance.

>>282929936
For what it's worth, much of this adaptation didn't happen in the book: the only one who died was the girl in the double suicide, and even then the circumstances weren't anywhere near as wicked as portrayed in the manga. Yozo's still a piece of shit who could fix 90% of his problems by just not being a massive manwhore and blowing all his money on substance abuse, but fortunately it doesn't turn out quite so terribly.
Having not read the manga version before, I'm hanging on to the hope that all these extra additions have been building up to something and not just added in for cheap shock value along the way.

If western fiction counts, then P G Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster comes to mind, unless any other characters predate him (first appeared in print around the 1910s/20s iirc)
>wealthy young gentleman of leisure just wants to have a carefree bachelor's life
>a variety of circumstances and MISUNDERSTANDINGS result in a similar variety of women wanting to marry him
>he's unwilling to rebuff them for fear of upsetting them, and instead has to rely on his omnicompetent valet to come up with some elaborate plot to bail him out while sparing the girl's feelings
obviously there's much more to the series than just that, but it happened enough times for the connection to come to my mind while reading it

So what's his score so far? Tsukekichi, might have led some commies to their death, Tsuneko, his wife, Hiroko and her father?

>>282933427
At least five died so far thanks to Yozo's faggotry. Six if you count the uggo kid

>>282929675
poor yozo. thanks op.

>>282933427
excuse me, did yozo ever pointed a gun at them? they were no less idiots than him, and paid for what were their choices, not yozo's.

>>282934010
he kicked a women overdosing on sleeping pills into the sea

>>282934062

I think Hiroko has a share of the blame for pretty much everything that happened after her introduction.
If she hadn't given this asshole a bunch of free morphine, he'd probably have drunk himself to death shortly thereafter and Yoshiko would still be alive.

>>282938881
what about if yoshiko didnt cheat like a whore just when yozo was finally starting to get things together?

>>282938992
Wasn't she raped?

>>282939053
nope. yozo somewhat forgives her on the ground she got fooled in believing she was doing no wrong by the editor guy, but who knows, this may be as well a cope of yozo himself. and neither yozo nor hiroki nor yoshiko ever treated the thing as rape, so i'm not sure where the whole rape excuse comes from.

>>282929517
>throw myself into the river
just jump off a tall building for fucks sake. It's not like you cared about traumatizing other people before.

>>282939137
Hiroki absolutely treated this as rape, as much as a woman from the 60s or so could

>>282938992
Oh yeah? Well what if SOCIETY hadn't been so DUMB, ever think of that?

>>282939277
hiroki tells yozo to forgive her because, according to him, yozo is not a good man, so nothing wrong if she fools around with another man. what's to forgive if it was rape? and do you think hiroki would just watch a woman being raped? he's not a paragon of virtue but he prouds himself to have guts, unlike yozo.

>>282939343
>what's to forgive if it was rape?
as I said
>as much as a woman from the 60s or so could
it didn't matter for such societies that rape victims are victims, they were still defiled by another guy.
Yozo himself is completely paranoid, so of course he would assume she did it willingly
>hiroki
is absolute scum, plus he didn't know it wasn't consensual either. He just saw his editor fucking his friends wife.

>>282939425
the way hiroki spells it implies cheating, not rape. plus there was no screams, no struggles, the two were drinking nearly in the park. in the book they were actually on the 2nd floor, if i remember right. where's the rape? what makes you say it was rape save your hots for yoshiko? also hiroki is portrayed as less scummy in the book, yet he didnt bother to stop the "rape" there neither.

>>282939310
Oh yeah!? Wellllllllll SOCIETY is just an INDIVIDUAL and you're an individual so it's your fault!

>>282939499
read
>>282749366
plus watch her expressions in the previous pages. That's not the face of a woman fucking her lover, thats a woman screaming because she is being violated

>the way hiroki
that guy that just walked in on them, the guy that is almost as much scum as Yozo? that guy that barely met his wife? That guy?
>plus there was no screams, no struggles
how can you browse 4chan being blind?

>>282939554

>>282929543
i forgot, did he ever fucked the madam?

>>282929410
>>282929400
Why the fuck was she even keeping a bunch of fucking poisonous herbs around in the first place? Was it like foxglove and digitalis? If they had medicinal ingredients extract them already and be done with it? Don't just leave a bunch of fucking plants hanging in your house all the time, least of all poisonous ones.
>>282929538
This can't all be blamed on him this time, yes, he should've told her she was fucking retarded and moved them away to like a stony area or something, but she's the one who sat right outside the wooden house with huge fucking piles of dired plants and wanted to burn them.

It is insidious though, I realize, having only read this far, that the reason she makes out with him and lets him not pay is because she's hurt with a bum leg and stuck taking care of a sick dad or grandpa, most dudes probably ignore her so when he gave her attention, she jumped at it the first thing.

>>282929475
How did he even originally meet her? Was it because of her tuberculosis or something?

>>282929605
>We truly are The Last of Us

>>282941009
He was stumbling through the snow, coughing up japanese flags on the ground and going through alcohol withdrawal. then he passed out infront of her pharmacy and she saved him (worst decision of her life)

>>282940428
That's what I wanna know, this is still before WW2 reached a fever pitch right? Do we have any novel fags with an exact idea of when this is taking place?

>>282941170
I'm fairly certain it has to be before the war. Dazai died in 1948 and the book was published posthumously so early to mid 30's makes the most sense to me

>>282929675

If I remember right, he was living with her and fucking her when he brought Yoshiko home one day to tell her they were getting married

>>282940634
Like every time they met until he left her to get married.

Nice detail here, in that time they actually had the matches boxes plastered with patriotic pics and slogans.

When does it take place actually? They should have sent Yozo to the US to do as much damage as possible.

Today's chapter will be early.

>Don't just leave a bunch of fucking plants hanging in your house all the time, least of all poisonous ones.
anon, you might be surprised how many common garden / decoration plants are higly poisonous.

>>282945972
By the looks of the buildings and the soldiers he meets, around WW2 or a bit earlier, i would guess.

>They should have sent Yozo to the US
Yozo, better known as unit 732.

Should be around the early to mid 1930s, you can backdate the events from the historic Osamu Dazai's death (1948).

Done. Congratulations.

>>282946777
IIRC the book's framing device was that Dazai had found some letters/documents Yozo wrote.

one more chapter and we're free from this schmuck lads

So was Mishima the Camus to Dazai's Sartre?

>>282941287
I think there was some dropped plotline about this guy making people old. The old lady is his writing assistant and the protagonist (who I still think looks kinda like Ito's wife) grows a mole at some point and then it disappears.

I wonder if dad got to hear about him causing his wife to kill herself before he died. Ghost dad seemed to come around to her before he vanished.

>>282946398
alright I only started with chapter 4 or something, what actually happened with this kid? What does "did it on purpose" mean and what's up with the kite?

Thinking back on it, Yozo isn't a bad person. The weight of expectations and his rape made him who he is.
Japanese society is to blame.

>>282957918
They let you post on the internet from the asylum?

>>282957689
Why would you not read four chapters of short manga to get context

>>282945913
What the hell is that romaji supposed to be? Did these come from Japanese territory in China?

>>282957689
He would pretend to be retarded so the other kids would like him. The actual retarded kid knew he was pretending. I still don't really get that part. He knew everyone was treating him better than the retarded kid, but he didn't realize everyone else must have know he was pretending?

>>282958354

I think that's the message you're supposed to take.
In the book Yozo kinda glosses over his rape and doesn't linger on it at all, and is very very self deprecating.

>>282946777
no

>>282946585

It's interesting, but it depends on how it's done

>>282946585
thanks op.

>>282957918
His mother figure, Toki, just vanishing one day without explanation when he was still a little boy also. That's probably what kick-started it.

>>282957918
Bad people are almost always victims of something.

>>282948379
>the poet driven insane
He wasn't insane, though. He was raving about the devil (which he actually met) but everyone else thought he was insane.

>>282962320
You're kinda right, but he was all hysterical and raving incoherently about it like some schizo, he was crumbling apart mentally. Obviously no one would have taken him seriously in the first place but his obviously deranged behavior is why he was dragged to a mental hospital.

The only way author appears in his work would be good is if he was butt of joke (Toribot) or voice of good who shit on your character

Saved for future, "images you never get to post" threads.

>>282946501
This is such an odd thing for Ito to add.
Yozo was already a self-insert for Dazai, with NLH being a pseudo-autobiography where he just switched out the names.
Why add Dazai as a separate character who Yozo meets and remarks on how they're totally the same?

>>282963269
Be sure to read the whole Junji Ito daily while you're at it.

>>282946298
Damn, that got me

>>282964106
Dazai actually got involved in a time loop and met himself but he didn't really feel the need to explore or explain that stuff further because it happened to everyone back in those days and was of little note

>>282964106
personally i see it as a sign of respect toward dazai, something like there's this yozo and then there's the one that belongs to dazai, more brooding and introspective.

>>282946370

i don't think either of them offed themselves.
also i think Camus was also a pretty sporty lively dude. a men amongst men.
