ブラックパラドクス [Black Paradox]

In this standalone 2009 graphic novel from Shogakukan, Black Paradox presents a taut, self-contained science-fiction thriller. Written and illustrated by the acclaimed Junji Ito, the story follows four individuals who each attempt suicide, only to awaken with mysterious new abilities linked to a strange, mirrored doppelgänger. Ito’s signature blend of body horror and existential dread unfolds as the group discovers their transformations are tied to a sinister underground experiment. A single, potent dose of Ito’s unnerving vision, it stands as a memorable entry in his catalog of horror manga.
