Black Paradox is a multi-chapter manga written by Junji Ito that dropped today and I got it delivered immediately on my Kindle this morning… and started reading it at 4am (I like to get up early). I like it, but I also like all his stuff as he has a twisted mind.
The premise: Four people intent on killing themselves meet through the suicide website Black Paradox: Maruso, a nurse who despairs about the future; Taburo, a man who is tortured by his doppelganger; Pii-tan, an engineer with his own robot clone; and Baracchi, a woman who agonizes about the birthmark on her face. They wander together in search of the perfect death, fatefully opening a door that leads them to a rather bizarre destiny…
The manga includes two one-shot stories: The Licking Woman and Mystery Pavillion as well.
