    Mine is “No Longer Human” by Osamu Dazai. Read it 6 times.

    I first started reading the illustrated version by Junji Ito. I got hooked on it and switched to reading the book when I couldn’t find the next chapters online. Right after finishing it, I read it again because I felt like I was missing the experience of only reading the book from where the manga left off. After that, I have given it a reread every year.

    >!It is the first book I’ve read that made me feel ‘seen’ or ‘understood’. I was shocked at how well it described the chaos and loneliness I’ve felt growing up and I also feel this book started my passion for reading. Every time I read it I get this cozy feeling that I am, ironically, not alone in my loneliness, and after I finish it I get a huge appetite for reading more books in general.!<
