#IReadsYou Review: NO LONGER HUMAN

NO LONGER HUMAN
VIZ MEDIA – @VIZMedia

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

CARTONIST: Junji Ito
ORIGINAL NOVEL: Osamu Dazai's “Ningen Shikkaku” as translated into English by Donald Keene
TRANSLATION & ENGLISH ADAPTATION: Jocelyn Allen
LETTERS: James Dashiell
EDITOR: Masumi Washington
ISBN: 978-1-4215-9846-8; hardcover (December 2019); Rated “M” for “Mature”
616pp, B&W, $34.99 U.S., $46.00 CAN, £25.00 UK

Junji Ito is a Japanese horror mangaka (comic book writer-artist) who has created both long-form horror manga series and manga short stories.  Ito's best known long-form manga include Tomie, Uzumaki, and Gyo.  Tomie was adapted into a live-action film series (beginning in 1998), and Uzumaki was adapted into a live-action film (2000).

VIZ Media has published several hardcover collections of Junji Ito's manga short stories over the last five years:  Fragments of Horror (June 2015), Shiver: Junji Ito Selected Stories (December 2017), Frankenstein: Junji Ito Story Collection (October 2018), and Smashed: Junji Ito Story Collection (April 2019).

One of Ito's recent works is a manga adaptation of Ningen Shikkaku, the 1948 Japanese novel from author, Osamu Dazai (as translated by Donald Keene).  Considered one of the foremost fiction writers of 20th-century Japan, Dazai took his own life shortly after the last part of Ningen Shikkaku was published.  Ningen Shikkaku, one of Japan's all-time best-selling novels, was first published in serial form.

Junji Ito's Ningen Shikkaku was collected in three tankobon (graphic novel) volumes.  VIZ Media's latest Junji Ito publication is No Longer Human, a collection of Ningen Shikkaku Volumes 1-3 in one hardcover mini-omnibus (5 1/2 × 7 7/8 trim size).

No Longer Human focuses on Yozo Oba.  As a boy, he realizes that he is afraid of people.  He alleviates his fear by being a joker and class clown who dances, sings, tells jokes, and makes funny faces.  As an adult, Yozo is plagued by a maddening anxiety because there is a terrible disconnect between his own concept of happiness and what he sees as the joy of the rest of the world.

Yozo Oba plays the clown in his dissolute life, holding up a mask for those around him as he spirals ever downward.  He is a liar and becomes a womanizer.  He is a drunk and eventually becomes a drug addict.  Seemingly locked arm-in-arm with death, Yozo comes to believe that he must rid himself of the “10 misfortunes” that have always been packed inside of him, but can even doing that save him from the hell that is his life?

I have never read Osamu Dazai's Ningen Shikkaku, which apparently literally translates as “Disqualified From Being Human” and which some people consider to be an autobiographical novel.  In fact, I had heard of neither author nor novel until I did some research after I received a review copy of No Longer Human from my VIZ Media rep.

I will be honest with you, dear reader, that I have never disliked any of Junji Ito's work that I have read.  There have been some manga that I thought were just okay or good, but I have yet to come across Junji Ito manga that I consider a failure or a misfire.  I still have not found failure as of just having finished No Longer Human, which I enjoyed immensely.

Mesmerizing and hauntingly beautiful, No Longer Human is poignant, tragic, and delicate, but is also grotesque, wrenching, and cruel.  It is as if Ito uses his prodigious talents to torment us with a magnificent and gorgeous graphical storytelling presentation that is actually presenting all that is weak, pathetic, selfish, narcissistic, greedy, banal, and evil in humans.

I guess that No Longer Human could be described as psychological horror.  Because Ito has listed the American author of horror and dark fantasy short stories, H.P. Lovecraft, as one of his influences, I think No Longer Human tells a story of existential horror and terror.  Much of Lovecraft's work deals with existential terror and threats both existential in nature and supernatural in origin.  No Longer Human offers images that are connected to existential horror and terror, and while there are supernatural elements in the narrative, the story is itself not supernatural.

Jocelyn Allen's translation and English adaptation of Ito's text are quite a feat.  This is not the first time that Allen has adapted Junji Ito to English, capturing the unnerving calmness and relentless march of horror that defines Ito's work.  James Dashiell's lettering is steady and tranquil, as if he is creating a matter-of-fact declaration of a man living a damned life.

I want to make note of the fact that Ito opens No Longer Human with what can be interpreted as a depiction of the double-suicide of Osamu Dazai and a female acquaintance.  Printed in color, the passage has a dreamlike, pastoral quality that haunts this manga until its final chapter.  That chapter is a total freak show of its own.

#IReadsYou Review: STAR TREK: Year Five #1

STAR TREK: YEAR FIVE No. 1
IDW PUBLISHING – @IDWPublishing

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

STORY: Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly
ARTIST: Stephen Thompson
COLORS: Charlie Kirchoff
LETTERS: Neil Uyetake
EDITOR: Denton J. Tipton
COVER: Greg Hildebrandt
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: J.J. Lendl; Greg Hildebrandt
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (April 2019)

Created by Gene Roddenberry, “Star Trek” was a science fiction television series.  It debuted on the NBC broadcast television network on September 8, 1966,  It followed the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), a “starship,” and its crew as they traveled on a five-year mission through the Milky Way galaxy during the future-decade of the year 2260.

The crew of the Enterprise was led by Captain James T. Kirk.  Kirk was assisted by six prominent crew members:  first officer and science officer, Spock; chief medical officer, Leonard “Bones” McCoy; chief engineer, Montgomery “Scotty” Scott; communications officer, Nyota Uhura; helmsman Hikaru Sulu; and navigator Pavel Chekov.

“Star Trek” ran until June 1969, for three seasons for a total of 79 episodes.  Series mythology says those three season cover the first three years of the Enterprises' five-year mission.  An animated “Star Trek” television series was broadcast on NBC on Saturday mornings for two seasons (1973-1974) for 22 episodes.  Fans of the show, now known as “Star Trek: The Animated Series,” consider the TV show to be set during the final two years of the Enterprise's five-year mission.

IDW Publishing has begun publishing a new comic book series, Star Trek: Year Five.  It is written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly; drawn by Stephen Thompson; colored by Charlie Kirchoff; and lettered by Neil Uyetake.  According to Lanzing, Star Trek: Year Five will be the first extended story line set definitively during “Year Five,” the conclusion of the Enterprise's original mission, and it will have “a beginning, a game-changing middle, and a definite end.”

Star Trek: Year Five #1 finds the Enterprise engaged in “Operation Ouroboros,” a mission to stop the “Lloyd Zeta Hypergiant” (the single most massive stellar object ever detected by Starfleet), from causing a mass extinction event.  On the planet, “Lloyd Zeta-9,” however, a mystery awaits the crew of the Enterprise.

I am a long-time fan of “Star Trek,” especially of the original, 1960s television series, now known as “Star Trek: The Original Series” (ST: TOS).  I have only read a few comic books set during that time, and they were okay, but were nothing memorable.   Star Trek: Year Five... well, I'm still stunned by how much I really loved this comic book.

First, Star Trek: Year Five #1 has a beautiful painted cover by Greg Hildebrandt, who has produced decades of gorgeous art for comic books, movie posters, children's books, and more, alone and with his late twin brother, Tim.  The interior art by Stephen Thompson captures the characters and visual design of classic Star Wars with an uncanny touch, and Thompson's storytelling is quite good.

Charlie Kirchoff's colors seem right out of the technicolor of 1960s Star Trek – remastered, of course.  Neil Uyetake glides in with his usually impressive lettering; he does some excellent work balancing the sections of the narrative that are quite dialogue-heavy.

Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly write the kind of first issue that will assure that many who read it will return for a second issue... a third issue... a fourth issue... and more.  Lanzing and Kelly offer a story that triggered in my imagination particular classic “Star Trek” episodes.  I am in no way saying this first issue is based on the following episodes:  “The Man Trap,” “A Private Little War,” and “That Which Survives.”

Those are either some of my favorite episodes or are episodes that scared me shitless when I first saw them as a child.  So Star Trek: Year Five, I highly recommend it.
