Black Paradox
Translated by Jocelyne Allen
About
Four strangers who met on a suicide website — a nurse, a man tormented by his doppelgänger, an engineer with a robot clone, and a woman obsessed with her birthmark — set out together to find the perfect death. Instead, they stumble through a door into something far worse than dying. Junji Ito's body horror takes a metaphysical turn as the group discovers luminous orbs from another dimension — beautiful, valuable, and extracted at a cost that redefines the meaning of self-destruction. A story about people who wanted to stop existing and instead found that existence has layers they never imagined, each more grotesque than the last.
