About this deal

Ito: (laughs) I really don't know much about games. My nephew plays and sometimes I play with him but I'm just not good at it. But I am interested in VR. Holding a control pad with your hands doesn't feel intuitive to me, so I'm not good at it, but if you could play by experiencing something the way you know it from reality, for example flying in a plane... That would be fun to try in VR. Ito: Shinobu Tagashira was the director. She really likes my work and respects it. In the way she expressed the mood of the manga, told the stories, and showed the images, I got the impression that she took great care in handling my work. I think some episodes turned out even better than the original. Ben K: So then, did your experience as a dental technician have any influence in the world you depicted in your manga? Interesting use of an escalating, ongoing plot, Strong ideas illustrated, Ito's art is as impressive as always Bittersweet Ending: Despite Maruso predicting that the harvesting of paradonite will stop before the human race goes extinct because of it, and that technology will be revolutionised by paradonite, many people will die from the exploitation of their own souls.

Missing Reflection: In chapter 1, Maruso eventually realizes that Baracchi has no reflection in the mirror. Because this Baracchi is the reflection. Balloon Belly: When the jewels build up in Pii-tan's stomach faster than he can vomit them up, his stomach distends grotesquely, which is played for horror rather than laughs. Especially when he explodes.

Ben K: Now, I'd like to ask you about "Gyo." Ultimately, the creatures seem to take over Japan and I feel it's implied that they will eventually take over the world. But in the beginning, they were born out of chemical weapons experiments. Considering these origins, was there an anti-war message in depicting monsters like this? Hara: We do. Although I cannot disclose any details at this time, we are already in talks with several countries with regards to translations. Bait-and-Switch Character Intro: The first chapter introduces the quartet, and ends with the revelation that three of the four are fakes - Taburo is a doppelganger, Pii-tan is a robot, and Barrachi is a sentient reflection that escaped the mirror universe. The one actual human, Maruso, then encounters the real counterparts shortly after escaping. Doppelgänger: Taburo keeps seeing his, and believes that seeing it means that he's going to die. It eventually manifests as a shadow that serves as his gateway to the other side

Black Paradox (Manga) - TV Tropes Black Paradox (Manga) - TV Tropes

Oct 25 Yearning Teens, Frustrated Romance, Pretty Skies — Is There Anything Else to Makoto Shinkai? Ito: Yes, when I was very young, I watched Dracula or Frankenstein when they showed it on TV. I lived in the countryside where there were no movie theaters nearby, so I could only see movies on TV. In the 70s, when the occult boom began, I saw The Exorcist on TV as well. So, I watched many occult films, like Dario Argento's Suspiria, for example. The most common obsessions are with beauty, long hair, and beautiful girls, especially in his Tomie and Flesh-Colored Horror comic collections. For example: A girl's hair rebels against being cut off and runs off with her head; Girls deliberately catch a disease that makes them beautiful but then murder each other; a woman treats her skin with lotion so she can take it off and look at her muscles, but the skin dissolves and she tries to steal her sister's skin, etc.Foreshadowing: After being exposed to the power released by paradonite, the unconscious Baracchi dreams of numerous alternate lives. This foreshadows the fact that paradonite isn't just some stone that shows up in the spirit world—it's human souls in physical form. Ito: (Laughs) Yūji Mitsuya. He's a veteran voice actor whose work I've been familiar with for many years...

Now, I'd like to ask you a different question. Going forward, is there a kind of manga you'd like to create, or, not limited to manga, something new you'd like to try? Ito: Well, since it was a medical school, I learned names of body parts in Latin and learned some basic anatomy. Beyond that, however, I learned not through school textbooks but rather illustrated anatomy books for medical students which I bought for myself at bookstores. I don't remember exactly how it was, but I do remember looking at those pictures to draw muscles, for example. Five-Man Band: A strange, dark, and not exactly heroic example of this basically shapes the five main character interactions with the Paradoxial Night. Ben K: I see. Thank you. Now, I'd like to ask you about this beautiful art book. This is your first one. Was there a reason behind the timing of its publication?

Statistics

Marusou" had a premonition that dreadful things would happen to her, and she would rather die than face them. "Taburou" met his doppelganger and, believing it to be an omen of death, has chosen to take his own life rather than wait for death to catch up to him. "Piitan" works in a robotics lab and was chosen to be the model for a superior humanoid robot. Since he can't compete with its perfection, he feels there is no longer any point in his existence. "Baracchi" believes that her own reflection has given her a death sentence and that the severe disfigurement affecting the left side of her face is a life of its own growing out of her. She, Piitan and Taburou all believe that another version of themselves has condemned them to die.
