Fool's Paradise

Before becoming known for his psychological thrillers, Tetsuya Tsutsui created Fool’s Paradise, an early web 18-page manga already filled with the unease that would define his later work. The story follows Kenji, a young man who finds himself face to face with the girl of his dreams, in a world where affection seems effortless and desire has no consequences. But this paradise is built on something fragile, and the fantasy soon begins to reveal its darker logic.
