Osamu Dazai English Fan Club

Hello and welcome to the resources section of the website! this list is not complete yet, but I'm working on creating a complete collection of Dazai's works. I also have a Dazai map on Google Maps, but right now it has my full name attached to it so I have to put it all on a new account. Once I've transferred it, I'll post it here! Please enjoy what I have now!
