Masakazu Ishiguro

<div id="iframeContent" dir="auto">Within the safety of the walls, 
youths are raised in a nursery-style setting by robots. While life there
 may appear stale on the surface, the children are full of potential and
 curiosity. In many ways it is like a slice of heaven. The outside
 world is a hell-scape. It is almost entirely void of anything 
mechanical and is now inhabited by bizarre, yet powerful super-natural 
beings. Maru, with the aid of Kiruko, is out there crisscrossing 
what was once Tokyo for heaven. But after searching for so long, maybe 
heaven is more of an untenable dream than a potential reality. Author Bio: Born in Fukui, Japan in 1977, Masakazu Ishiguro is an award-winning comic artist who made his debut in 2000 with the Afternoon Magazine Four Seasons Award winning short "HERO". While Ishiguro initially cut his teeth within the science-fiction realm he is possibly best known for his comedies; particularly the Japan Media Arts Award winning And Yet the Town Moves (Shonen Gahosha). Whismical, stylish and often surreal, Ishiguro's works are often put into their own SF genre (slightly fantastical).Awards: Selected as the Best Manga of 2018 by the Kono Manga ga Sugoi Committee. </div>

Shintaro Kago

Fashionable-paranoia is a mix of splatter violence, humor and 
titillation, and manga artist, Shintaro Kago has helped define the genre over the last twenty years. Collecting fifteen different short stories from his illustrious career, Super-Dimensional Love Gun compiles stories full of neurotic dark humor and unease. Author Bio: Born in 1969, Shintaro Kago made his comics debut in 1988. Best known 
for his work within the eroguro (erotic grotesque) genre, he has penned 
dozens of books for a range of mostly indie comic book publishers. The 
shorts found in Super-Dimensional Love Gun, like his previous release 
Dementia 21 (Fantagraphics), are examples of the "fashionable-paranoia" 
genre he founded. The genre mixes visually driven story-telling with 
shockingly violent themes to create equally dark and humorous 
narratives.What the Press says about Kago: "Showing influences from Dali to Otomo, the combination of Kago's precise, expressive and kinetic line work with his wacky storytelling is at turns engrossing and repulsive. Mature fans of unconventional manga will appreciate the surreal spiral of body humor, tragicomedy and dark humor." - Publishers Weekly "Imagine if horror manga master Junji Ito took psychedelics and then 
attempted to write erotica. That's basically everything Shintaro Kago 
does, and it's glorious." - Powells
