Du suicide #[nn]

Part of Kurokawa's "Kuro Savoir" line — la connaissance en manga — this 2024 volume adapts Arthur Schopenhauer's philosophical essay on suicide into manga form, a genuinely intriguing meeting of 19th-century pessimist thought and sequential art. The cover presents three characters: a brooding dark-haired young man in a suit, a cheerful red-haired woman with bright green eyes, and front and center, a scowling white-haired elder who jabs a finger directly at the reader, accompanied by the speech bubble "La mort n'est pas une solution !" ("Death is not a solution!"). It's a bold, visually striking introduction to what promises to be a thought-provoking read for anyone curious about philosophy delivered through the dynamic energy of manga.
