    Caterpillar

    Yes, your message was kind of the push I needed to get back into this manga. I never dropped it but it sure had been a while since I last released anything from it.

    The Hideshi Hino You Don't Know - Bizarre Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 8 - Tale of the Sex Salesman

    If you had told me about the existence of Hino Hentai just a short while ago I'd have called you crazy.

    The Hideshi Hino You Don't Know - Bizarre Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - Moist Skin Bloodstained Peony Tattoo

    The Ken Takakura films mentioned in the commentary are likely the "Red Peony Gambler" series, which ran from 1968 until 1972 and includes a total of 8 films. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Peony_Gambler

    The Hideshi Hino You Don't Know - Bizarre Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Woman's Box

    Sexy time with Hino-Sensei will always feel kind of strange. Just not what he's known for! There was a funny bit in an interview with him I read a while ago where he basically said he tried his hand at eroticism but went back to horror because he thought he couldn't draw women the way he wanted to.

    Ashita no Jigoku - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - The Mad Group 3

    Glad you liked it! Much as I was impressed by the artwork, I couldn't help but wonder how this got published in a magazine for kids.

    The Hideshi Hino You Don't Know - Bizarre Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 9 - Twisted Gentleman

    There were 4 chapters of the same story, i.e. "The Mad Group" published in 1970/1971. Then there was no more "Tomorrow's Hell" until 2000/2001 when there were at least another 4 chapters of a different story/stories published in the magazine Super Horror. The first one of those is the one that's...

    The Hideshi Hino You Don't Know - Bizarre Manga Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 9 - Twisted Gentleman

    No, you're more than welcome to do the rest of the stories in this book. I just wanted to do this one because a.) I could finish it quickly and b.) I had already translated that one sample page from it a while ago. I'm currently working my way through the essays and interviews in TRAUMA!, the...

    If there is a worse cover than this I don't ever want to see it.

    Ashita no Jigoku - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - The Mad Group 3

    This is the end of the "Mad Group" story, yes. The plan was to do more stories set in the same post-apocalyptic world (hence the whole "Part 1" thing) but Shonen Gaho, the magazine where all these appeared, ceased publication in 1971 when it was merged with Shonen King due to declining sales...

    Cutie Honey 2023 - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Devil of Hell

    Erections having their own sound effect once again proves the superiority of manga.

    Legend of the Sun - Vol. 4

    Yes. This is all that exists. If you are curious about why it ends the way it does or would like to get some idea where Hino would have taken the story from here, you can find some useful info in the career-spanning (up to 2003, at least) interview that is included as an extra at the end of this...

    Legend of the Sun - Vol. 3

    But then it will say Volume 3, Chapter 3" which is equally incorrect and people might think there are chapters missing.

    Legend of the Sun - Vol. 4

    There is a noticeable drop in quality after page 14. This is because that's where the 2 paperback collections published in the 70ies ended. The rest of the story looks to have been scanned from magazine issue, clearly without debinding them. This is how both the 4 volume ebook release and the...

    Spotted Egg - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - The Mannequin Room
