I do have a lot of empathy towards Yozo, probably because I've personally experienced some of the same thoughts that I've seen Yozo display so far. I've never really thought of myself as a good or bad person though. It's strange, but I really like it and I'm not sure why. Aside from the moments of extreme anxiety, I can't seem to put the book down. I read through two chapters since I posted this story. Also, I might check out that adaptation series you mentioned. I do like anime, so it may be worth a shot.
