Black Paradox (Junji Ito)

Product Information

The Heart: Maruso. A seer and possibly the only unambiguously good character, she's soft-hearted and empathic, tries her best to save Piitan when his condition gets worse, and is the one who keeps the others alive and united. Creo que no puedo decir mucho más, porque es una historia para descubrir poco a poco y madurar, pero sin duda me parece una obra más que recomendable. The second chapter starts comedically too as the group convene to attempt suicide once more via pills this time before even that descends into weird farce. If the whole book had been this incompetent group trying, and failing, to off themselves, I would’ve been fine with it. Sadly, this is where the meat of the story begins as one of the group starts vomiting up glowing balls and we get into the whole spirit world/Paradonite nonsense for the rest of the narrative. (The one continuation of this opening act’s storyline is the robot repeatedly trying to kill itself for no reason throughout the book - it’s so funny!)

Nobushi: I was wondering about something. You say you began reading horror manga at 4 or 5. Kids that age scare very easily. But you were fine with it? Existential Horror: The manga's horror mostly comes from this. It comes from the horror of merely existing at all.

Oct 28 NBA Star Rui Hachimura Gets Animated and Possibly Saves the World in New Crayon Shin-chan Episode Ito: When I was a child, my parents, who were of the war generation, would tell me tragic and frightening war stories, so I naturally developed a strong awareness of war as a scary thing. What's more, as a boy, I was afraid I would be drafted as a soldier when I grew up. This fear of mine naturally developed into anti-war feelings, and I think this is reflected in my work.

Oct 25 Yearning Teens, Frustrated Romance, Pretty Skies — Is There Anything Else to Makoto Shinkai? Es por eso que fue una muy grata sorpresa ver que otras obras de Ito pueden mantener su estilo y a la vez ser muy originales. Claro que mi miedo era un poco infundado, porque es obvio que un autor puede ser creativo de muchas formas, pero no soy muy fan del terror y quizá por eso mi mala predisposición. Meaningful Name: The mysterious soul jewels from the afterlife are designated "paradonite". Most people take the name to mean they are from "paradise" given their origin in a glowing spirit realm and energy power, but they actually represent a "paradox"—these stones which can save humanity with their energy simultaneously destroy it by being the souls of the people who populate the world. As with every Junji Itou's story, the signature uneasiness and creep factor are always present, especially in the later chapters.the four main characters. Marusou, Taburo, Piitan, and Barachii are quite tense yet comical at certain points. They all have their moments and each of the characters is fleshed out and played out their roles perfectly. r/junjiito is dedicated to legendary award-winning horror mangaka Junji Itō (伊藤潤二) and friends like Kazuo Umezz (楳図かずお), Hideshi Hino (日野日出志), and other horror mangaka. Ito: Yes. The manga I was reading wasn't that scary. On the other hand, TV shows where they went into haunted houses or had a medium who could summon spirits, I thought those were scary. Interesting, but scary. I couldn't go to the bathroom by myself. Especially since the bathroom in my house was at the end of an underground tunnel. When they showed photos with ghostly apparitions on those shows, that was scary. I was scared by things that seemed real to me. As for manga, of course, some of it was scary but for the most part, I found it interesting and intriguing. I loved Kazuo Umezu's drawings. Strange creatures, the grotesque. They fascinated me, so I enjoyed reading his manga. But that bathroom was scary...
