 The official Twitter account of mangaka Takahiro Wakamatsu announced a television anime adaptation of his and Hiroshi Noda's Isekai Shikkaku (No Longer Human...In Another World) manga on Monday. Noda and Wakamatsu began serializing the fantasy comedy manga on the Yawaraka Spirits website in October 2019. Shogakukan shipped the sixth volume on January 12, with the seventh volume is scheduled to be released on July 12. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga in English on May 4 and will release the first volume this October. Synopsis An adventure in another world with cute girls by your side and video game-like powers–sounds like an anime fan's dream, right? Not so for melancholic author Osamu Dazai, who would quite literally prefer to drop dead. Video games haven't even been invented yet when he gets yanked into another world in 1948. Really, all the fantastical adventure he keeps running into is just getting in the way of his poetic dream of finding the perfect place to die. But no matter how much he risks his hide, everything seems to keep turning out okay. Follow a miserable hero like no other in this cheerfully bleak isekai comedy!

| Wtf!!! This is soo disrespectful imo. |
| Interesting promise. I will watch it! |
 |
| urggghhh. I fucking hate this |
| Finally, an Isekai that actually has an interesting premise. |
 |
| What in the world is this |
| Brilliant idea lmao |
| Damn, it's been so long since we've had another Isekai. God bless. |
 |
| why do this shit to dazai osamu? no wonder he was suicidal |
    |
DrBalls said: They are making isekai parody of someone's suicide letter. Don't you think it's kinda disrespectful. I love how people are saying this is disrespectful, while completely ignoring Dazai from Bungou Stray Dogs. Yeah, this is disrespectful, but an anime only treating Dazais suicidal thoughts as comic relief isn't...anime fans in a nutshell. |
DrBalls said: Bungou Stray Dogs isn't a direct parody of No longer Human anyway if you enjoy this kind of stuff it's ok.ZXEAN said: They are making isekai parody of someone's suicide letter. Don't you think it's kinda disrespectful. Again Bungou Stray Dogs did the same thing. Dazai in that anime wants to kill himself cuz its funny. No one ever said that was disrespectful. If this double standard didn't exist, yes, to a certain extent this isekai is disrespectful, but then again, I don't really care regardless. |
DrBalls said: Hope that's the case.ZXEAN said: Bungou Stray Dogs isn't a direct parody of No longer Human anyway if you enjoy this kind of stuff it's ok. This ain't a parody either my guy. It's just a comedy manga based on Osamu Dazai. Have you even read this? I assume not, because those who had read it said it never tried to disrespect Dazais life or work in any way, it's just mixing comedy with a character based on Dazai, just like Bungou Stray Dogs. |
| Seems interesting to me. |
 |
| People get triggered so easily like chill lmfao |
| So Dazai being suicidal is an actual staple of his personality? Lol interesting This is like Konmimg in a sense minus the music stuff so it should be worth checking out either way |
Phlaryx said: Speak for yourself dude. Why are you getting triggered lol.Some real sensitive people here wow. Who cares. Like chill out. Bungou Stray Dogs does the same thing where Dazai has comic relief moments of trying to kill himself. That’s the running gag. A character based off of a suicidal person trying to kill themself in a comedic way. No one gives a shit about that. In fact many people find it funny enough to make him the most favorited character of the show. No one finds that depiction of him offensive so why are they saying that here lol. Bunch of hypocrites. |

Ok, I complain that Bungou Stray Dogs's depiction is disrespectful too. What now? |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
An adventure in another world with cute girls by your side and video game-like powers–sounds like an anime fan's dream, right? Not so for melancholic author Osamu Dazai I actually spat out my drink when I read this. Did not expect that to be the following sentence lmao |
 |
| society has surpassed the need for this kind of isekai bs |
| as someone who finds dazai from bungo pretty overrated and is more interested in the actual works by the author, idk what to feel about this the concept tho, is intriguing lol |
 |
| Seems a bit sad, I get that it's not something to take that seriously but ahhh it just feels dirty especially when they're directly referencing his writing and using a somewhat more realistic depiction of him physically. Style wise I mean, obviously this doesn't look so much like the real man bit it's definitely close enough to be a bit eeeehhhhhh |
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
| It looks like Japanese isekai have finally reached the level of Russian ones, where every second work tries to be historical. Also, it's pretty funny to read the kids being furious that someone hinted that the Dogs weren't particularly respectful of him either. |

| Well at least its something different. |
 |
| Jesus, if i see another isekai with "isekai" in the title, im gonna end up like Dazai myself. |
"Get your tentacles off me or ill make calamari out of your manhood" -Mirai Nikki Dub |
| I've actually read a bit of the manga a while ago. I don't remember much, but most of the time they call the guy "Sensei" rather than by his full name. Idk if this would calm people's worries tho |
| - ratings literally don't matter. (especially the top 10 or whatever) - anime characters aren't real people. - why do you have signatures on. lol |

Not being sensitive here just expressed my thoughts but you started overreacting to be honest. ZXEAN said: Speak for yourself dude. Why are you getting triggered lol. No I don’t think I will speak for myself because I’m saying it how it really is lol. |
ZXEAN said: Speaking of myself I just said making an isekai parody based on someone's suicide letter is kinda disrespectful. Not being sensitive here just expressed my thoughts but you started overreacting to be honest. Someone is triggered because someone is triggered. Classic modern internet. Also, I think people don't care there, but they care here most likely due to the fact that Dogs is a popular work with a large fan base and the new one belongs to one of the most controversial genres. |
|
| Okay, I'm curious. Not often that an Isekai show does this these days. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S AN ISEKAI WITH DAZAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS EXISTED, I NEED TO WATCH IT ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Okay I gotta ask whoever make this "WTF have you been smoking ?" |
| need a pv to do a pre rating measurement. probably not as bleak as dorohedoro |
| Pretty funny to see MAL users getting more outraged at something than Twitter or ANN for once. |

|
| Lots of people here outraged on someone else's behalf. It's almost like I'm browsing Twitter or something. |

Phlaryx said: Damm what type of logic is this. Judging by your statement it seem you will gladly watch a ecchi anime centred around Junko Furuta.ZXEAN said: Speaking of myself I just said making an isekai parody based on someone's suicide letter is kinda disrespectful. Not being sensitive here just expressed my thoughts but you started overreacting to be honest. Nah nah nah. It’s not just you lol. In general, the idea of getting offended on someone else’s behalf whom you’ve never met and has been long dead is absolutely silly. Dazai ain’t gonna be rolling in his grave over some anime about him y’all should just rest easy lol. |

With his logic, it makes no sense for you to be offended by insulting the memory of the victims of war or crimes, because they have been dead for a long time and you have not met them. Some kind of over-the-top edgy. |
