last night i finished no longer human, the manga version. idle know how many words were left out. i may try the novel version, but i can imagine the graphic spirit comes through in manga. i like this form. i can read a 600 page novel in 2 sittings. it's an intense story. in a large sense it's about the humans becoming less human, though it's an individual saga within the global saga. it's a suicide note. just after he wrote it he drowned with a war widow in a double suicide. his note read i can no longer write.
