    Summary

    In an alternate universe, 14-year-old Dazai has been long-since disowned by his parents and now wanders the streets of Yokohama. After a chance encounter with Yukichi Fukuzawa, he's been going to work at the Agency as an assistant each day. However, the kindness of the man and his other employees is stifling, and Dazai needs to get out. Maybe some other organization or way of life will help to fill that hole in his heart that the Agency is just not filling; maybe he just needs to connect with death more.

    Summary

    The entrance faced the street, its door wide open, welcoming guests with a fragrant waft of coffee, redolent of better days. The symbols burnt into the wooden sign towering above it spelled out a name now lost to time. However, the memory of steaming brews, sweet cakes and fleeting glances will never falter.

    The fundamental experience of a teenager is navigating contradictions. Unfortunately, nobody warned Doppo Kunikida that said contradictions may manifest in the form of a person that opposes every rule, every guideline he has ever known.

    Summary

    “Why do you ask, am I conversing with a liquidator?” Fyodor continued, forgetting all politeness out of frustration, with a scornful pinch of his brow; for some reason he could not understand this man as easily as he predicted other's actions and emotions. Everything came up as a blank, the man's delicate features betrayed nought, his pose was relaxed as if Fyodor's intense gaze, under which the sharpest of men flinched, was nonexistent, and somehow Fyodor felt from this small exchange that this man was just toying with him.

     

    “Surely a soul so striking bears a name worthy of remembrance—may I learn it?” Fyodor replied, not letting the subtle irritation he felt at the man steal its way into his voice.

     

    “Osamu Dazai, pleasure to meet you.”

     

    Or, Religion cannot cure cruelty. Philosophy cannot cure loneliness. But a conversation on a broken bridge might delay the inevitable.

    Or or, Former priest meets suicidal charisma. It’s not romance. It’s bloodsport in dialogue.

    Or or or, Fyodor and Dazai talk a bunch and flirt a bunch in late 1800's Russia. Oh and a guy fucking dies btw.

    Summary

    En una ocasión Atsushi oyó comentar a un cliente habitual en la librería de su padre que pocas cosas marcan tanto a un lector como el primer libro que realmente se abre camino hasta su corazón. Aquellas primeras imágenes, el eco de esas palabras que creemos haber dejado atrás, nos acompañan toda la vida y esculpen un palacio en nuestra memoria al que, tarde o temprano no importa cuántos libros leamos, cuántos mundos descubramos, cuánto aprendamos u olvidemos, vamos a regresar. Para Atsushi, esas palabras embrujadas siempre serán las que encontró entre las paginas de Indigno de ser humano.

    Summary

    HIGANBANA The dance of the lilies.

    "Amidst the vastness of creation, there are several lilies that adorn the world. By custom and tradition, these flowers symbolize the purity of the essence and the peace of the spirit, representing a hymn to the pulsating life.

    Just as existence carries in its womb the seed of death, and death, in turn, harbors the veiled promise of life.

    However, among all the lilies, there is one that captivates: the Higanbana, the red spider lily, crimson. This flower, in its hue of fresh blood, stands as a symbol of the crossing, of the end, of the irreversible loss.

    Then one wonders: can such a flower, in its morbid nature, still preserve traces of innocence, like a specter of purity wrapped in veils of the end?

    Upon blooming, the Higanbana, with its color that burns like an open scar, tears the cloaks of illusion and, without mercy, exposes the masks that man weaves. It reveals, in short, the raw truth that lies behind the soul.

    In the dance of the lilies, higanbana is the blood that pumps through the veins. The loss, the end."

    Summary

    From the day we are brought into this world we know nothing but pain as we are evicted from the womb.

    Eyes struggle to adapt to fluorescent lights, ears give way to the rush of a busy hospital, and it is all so much you can't help but wail for the arms of the person who once held you so dear, and you must know this is what love should feel like.

    This is but a teaser for life. The way you are born perhaps sets the course for the rest of your life.

    Summary

    Hiding has always made Dazai feel listless.
    Like a sitting duck, or like he was about to vibrate out of his own skin. The monotony is new, fresh in a way, but it loses appeal when he wonders one day whether Odasaku found beauty in this, too.

    or

    Dazai's time in hiding, between the Dark Era and his entrance exam.

    Summary

    A short oneshot, featuring Dazais thoughts which lead him to attempt, the end is up for interpretation.

    (My interpretation of Dazai plays a huge role in this, it may be heavily influenced on Yozo from the book "No Longer Human" and the real author Dazai Osamu)
