Black Paradox by Junji Ito
3.0
3.5 stars !!
*Wouldn't recommend this if you have trypophobia*
- had some very cool art panels
- sci fi, speculative and creepy
we follow four people who originally wanted to meet and die together, however things change when one of them starts spitting out these balls of a new kind of mineral, one that makes them rich beyond measure. But then things start going downhill, and chaos ensues.
It was an interesting and creepy ready that posed some questions about science and hunanitys obsession with evolving into the future and something new. I do wish the ending was more fleshed out, and overall that there was a bit more substance to this so it's not my favourite Junji Ito I've read, but I did enjoy it!
