Thinking every wildly creative work is made with the influence of drugs is boring and inaccurate. Every wildly creative work is made with the influence of EROTICISM! The Renaissance masters painting transcendent religious experience? Eroticism! Geiger's masterful designs for Alien? Eroticism! This incredibly unique manga? You'd better believe it...
Eroticism!
It is an inexhaustible resource.
I was wrong I wasn’t on LSD, just a high dose of CBD. Also you really did not need to wax poetic about it.
It was a joke!
Anyway I also come from artistic background so I can completely appreciate its quality’s as a work of brilliance.
But I would disagree with your last statement, I believe eroticism is only part of the puzzle that is the human condition as well the foundation that is this manga.
I believe the other part might come from the foundation of Japanese shock art, which may have its roots in eroticism but was also very much inspired by counterculture, anarchy, activism and also a horror of human nature .
And what can be counterculture than very premise of the gender equilibrium that is shown in his manga.
