yes you heard that right...manga won´t be the only source for anime anymore...I think this is a good idea...since I like jap literature


No Longer Human
is about the life of Yozo Ohba, who can not show his true self and therefore constantly maintains a facade of hollow mirth...the work has autobiographical elements

Kokoro
describes how a student acquaintance with a retired elderly man, only known as Sensei and how he slowly reveals his life story(which is very interesting-I know the book:) )

Light Screen
is the story of artist Yoshihide, regarded as the greatest painter of the country. Yoshihide has to do a work which shall represent the Buddhist hell...up here he begins to torture his apprentices because he can paint only what he has already seen.

Run, Melos!
is a retelling of Schillers "The Hostage" and deals with the shepherds Melos who asks after a failed tyrannicide a period of three days to attend the wedding of his sister while his friend left behind as a pledge, and after the deadline instead of him to be executed.
