5.0

This is one of those indescribable stories that is just... good. It speaks to some deep, human experience that we all go through as we grow up, and it's the sort of book that reminds you that those feelings never really went away, and Dazai knows it, but his protagonist does not. 

Just a really clean example of what makes Dazai so great to read. Quietly brilliant.
