From the legendary mind of horror maestro Junji Ito comes Black Paradox, a gripping psychological thriller that bends the boundaries of life, death, and human greed. What happens when four strangers, each carrying their own heavy burdens, meet through an online forum to execute a perfect group suicide pact? They expect a peaceful release from their misery. Instead, their failed attempt plunges them into a bizarre, otherworldly phenomenon that could reshape the entire globe.

As they stumble upon strange, glowing spiritual stones that defy the laws of physics, the group is dragged into a spiral of obsession, corporate exploitation, and supernatural horror. Junji Ito masterfully weaves a tragic tale of existential dread, where the darkest corners of human nature are exposed. This volume also features two chilling bonus stories, The Licking Woman and Mystery Pavilion, guaranteed to leave you sleeping with the lights on.

Prepare yourself for a mind-bending journey that is as tragic as it is terrifying. Are you ready to peer into the void of the Black Paradox?
