I loved the beginning of this book, the explanation of how waking up feels like was so interesting and kinda spot on. This was a good way of checking out if I like Osamu Dazai's writing, so I'm definitly going to read more by him in the near future. 

Though I have to say, the female protagonist thinking women are gross makes this not perfect, it screams male author writing women and I hate to see it every time. The slight misogyny... happens way too often.
