I've been a fan of Toshiharu Ikeda's film (and his work as a director in general) for many years. The movie is what got me to finally buy the manga. I was just curious. Turned out film is a very loose adaptation. But I found the manga to be completely and utterly insane in ways that were probably deemed unfilmable, so of course I decided to translate all 4 volumes. Buckle up. You ain't seen nothing yet.
