Kago Shintaro

This is a continuation of the previous Godzilla stories. This addition to Kago's other Godzilla parodies appeared in a magazine called Lemon Kids in the February 1991 issue. For some reason, it was not included with the other stories that were collected in "More Than Human".

Shintaro Kago's new series, which began serialization with the April 2026 issue of Jizuwa BUNKA Taboo, aims to profile a different ukiyo-e artist each month.

SHINTARO KAGO'S ENDLESS UNIVERSE EXPANDS EVEN FURTHER! With his inimitable narrative and graphic style, the master of Ero Guro revisits medieval Japan through the lens of multi-worlds. The history of medieval Japan is full of pivotal moments that led warlords and their followers down radical paths. But what if every decision spawned alternate worlds? And what if these fortress-worlds, destined never to intersect, came into contact with one another? Which reality would prevail over the others? Would chaos reign supreme?

Are you familiar with the mystery of the "Fiend with Twenty Faces"? A thief and a master of disguise, he used to steal only from the very rich. But it's been five years since he disappeared after developing a dissociative identity disorder. Now, his daughter Mayumi sets out to find him. In the process, she must find her way out of situations that keep getting more perverse and absurd as the story progresses... In this first volume of the series, Shintaro Kago offers us his take on the universe of the famous detective novelist Edogawa Rampo, one of the founding fathers of ero-guro. Kago's weirdness and Rampo's detective mysteries combine to form a world full of abnormalities and illusions!

This is a story about a world that splits into billions of endless worlds just like the classic science fiction trope "parallel worlds." Although stories of parallel worlds have been written in many mediums (novels, movies, manga, etc.) in the past, I consider this story, “the Princess of the Never-ending Castle," presents a new way to show parallel worlds in which I’ve never seen before. At the same time, this graphic novel also includes experiments of manga expressions. Please enjoy this work that features new challenges in various parts."

The daily life that you thought would never change can easily be shaken! The Lack of Presence Championship, dead ends, masks, the truth about the world... A collection of works centered on short manga published in "Axe".

Includes web series Kago Shintarou no Tsuukai! Rekishi Nyuumon

A surreal and loose story of a world overwhelmed by a destructive strings and wires motif.

Brain Damage collects four new short manga stories, a tantalizing blend of the hilarious and the macabre. In “Labyrinth Quartet,” four identical young women trapped in an eerie building must solve the mystery of why they’ve been gathered there — while being hunted by a knife-wielding stalker. In “Curse Room,” a plucky health aide is tasked with keeping zombies peaceful, lest they go on a brain-eating rampage. In “Family Portrait,” people throughout town are strangely disappearing without a trace, and the key to it all is a senile and perverted old man. Finally, in “Blood Harvest” a series of gruesomely mangled bodies are found in pristine cars — and it appears something sinister lurks within these masses of glass and steel.

The first half of the book is made up by the titular story, a serial killer thriller that gets all kinds of meta and crazy as it progresses. The second half of the book consists of a short interview with Kago (and Ryuichi Kasumi, a Japanese crime fiction writer) and a number of short stories. (Source: Caterpillar)

This is a guro book featuring lots of violence and gore, including some cannibalism. It’s not hentai, but it does have some sex thrown in here and there, mostly rape. It’s set in feudal japan and its central character is an insane sadistic princess with a elite unit of special “hair” ninjas. She gets reckless and draws the attention of the Shogun which leads to a huge clash. Fun book with some grim humor, very graphic and has some disgusting stuff so not for the faint of heart.

Shigure Konno is getting bullied in class. One day, however, she leaves her physical body and is able to enter the world of spirit. Shigure can now look inside people's minds, discover their innermost secrets and even manipulate them.... When the seeds of trouble sown in the hearts of good citizens blossom, bizarre incidents will happen... "Six Consciousnesses Thought Changing Ataraxia" marked Kago's third version of the concept of a girl entering a cyberspace-like psychic realm wherein she can "hack" people. He first utilized it in "Soul Diver Saga: Nirvana" (1992), only three chapters of which were published before the magazine serializing it (Bandai's Cyber Comix) stopped publication. In 1995, Kago published a much less sexually explicit one-shot simply titled "ataraxia" in Young Jump (later collected in "Hannya Haramita") before this expanded and much kinkier version followed in 2000/2001. Additionally, various characters from this manga appear in other stories by Kago, some of them collected in "Super-Dimensional Love Gun".

This manga presents different stories settled in a future world in which biomechanoids of any kind are created for every purpose. All the stories, through different angles and in a somewhat bizzare fashion, explore the same theme:are they mere machines or do they dream of electric sheeps?

Removed from common sense, schizophrenic and horny, this is the definitive version of Kago's world! A masterpiece of underground comics! The title of this collection is in reference to Jean-Luc Godard's 1972 political drama film TOUT VA BIEN (also titled 万事快調 in Japan), which was released as ALL'S WELL in the US. There exist the original 2000 publication as well as a 2006 reprint that includes two additional stories as bonus content.

Mangaupdates: The rub this time is mazes and visual illusions and jokes. Labyrinth is not graphic or gratuitous, but nudity/sexual imagery permeates throughout and make it NSFW.

Paranoia Street‘s story follows the fantastically absurd exploits of a wannabe detective and his female assistant who roam the Japanese countryside looking for work. Each chapter has them arriving at a new town plagued by some bizarre problem that would make Soil look like an oasis of sanity.

This absurdist manga is a mix of the bad taste of John Waters, the the violence of David Lynch and the tragedy of the works of Alejandro Jodorowsky. What happens in front of the station, where all the ordinary people come together? The ultimate eccentric psycho comic!

This early work from Kago is an alternative history of World War 2, in which the fighting nations discover a way to turn women into giant-sized biomechanical weapons (tanks, submarines, etc.) and use them as the primary method of warfare. -Paraphrased from Gurochan.

A collection of oneshots. Chapter One: Imagine, that the roles of whales and humans were swapped. So whales (or whale-like creatures) would be rather small, able to talk and smart. Humans would be large, stupid and hunted by whale-people. Chapter Two: A girl finally visits her boyfriend's parents at their house. For some bizarre reason, every appliance is made of human bodies. When the girls realizes that she too will be turned into an appliance, she attempts to escape her destiny by having sex . . .

In 1992, Shintaro Kago began publishing what was supposed to be the first full-length manga of his career. Unfortunately, the magazine that published it, Bandai's Cyber Comix, was discontinued in October of that year and the manga remains unfinished to this day. Only three chapters exist. Kago did recycle the basic concept of a girl able to switch between our reality and a cyberspace-like spiritual realm in a later one-shot (ataraxia) and an even later different full-length work (Six Consciousnesses Thought Changing Ataraxia).

Originally published in Bandai's Cyber Comix anthology between February and June 1991, "Ghost Stories" sees Shintaro Kago reinterpreting classic Japanese ghost stories in a SF/cyberpunk environment.

This is a short comic by Shintaro Kago that portrays a dystopian future where human beings are mostly manufactured instead of born, except for in ghettos where they are mostly abandoned at birth. The story starts with a woman complaining to her doctor/therapist that her husband won't have sex with her and then it goes off on a tangent explaining what happened to her husband and how it came to pass. Involves a car accident that sets loose a dangerous breed of genetically engineered hyper-intelligent killer babies.

Shintaro Kago's debut work, originally published in 1988 in the magazine "Comic Box", was reprinted as a bonus pamphlet included with the 2015 collection "Uchuu (Sora) Kakeru Junjou". The story is about two biologists who land on a strange planet and study the confusing lifeforms they encounter...
