Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

All the dark and haunting storytelling and visuals you’d expect from Ito, but perhaps the smallest seed of optimism, as four strangers on the brink of suicide unite over a common goal.

Three-time Eisner Award winner Junji Ito’s legendary sci-fi thriller is finally available in English!

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...
