It includes three classic works: "New Hamlet", "Leap of Level Appeal" and "Run, Melos". In "New Hamlet," adapted from Shakespeare's tragic classic, Osamu Dazai portrays Hamlet, who likes to fake crying and act coquettishly, and suffers from chuunibyou. He also uses laughter to create a thrilling family tragedy. "I don't believe it. I will continue to doubt it until I die." In the novel "Leap-Level Complaint", Osamu Dazai incarnates Judas, the eternal sinner. In a first-person voice that is slightly neurotic and on the verge of collapse, he faintly tells the story of an ordinary man's admiration for his idol, which turned into hatred and contempt due to Kunai's response, driving him to commit a crime of betrayal that changed the course of human civilization. "Run, Meros" is a required chapter in Japanese middle school textbooks, and it is also Dazai Osamu's most commonly read work. It is full of inspirational style, describing that in order to save his best friend, Melos, a passionate young man, must complete a marathon within three days with the goal of rushing to the execution ground and dying.
