Kago Shintarō ( 駕籠真太郎) is a Japanese illustrator and manga artist. Kano was born in Tokyo in 1969. He debuted in 1988 on the magazine COMIC BOX. Since then his comics, usually short stories, have been published in several adult manga magazines, gaining him considerable popularity around the world. Kago specialises in ero-guro, a Japanese visual genre that puts its focus on eroticism, sexual corruption, and grotesque body horror. Many of Kago's manga have strongly satirical overtones, and deal with grotesque subjects such as extreme sex, scatology and body modification. His unique style has been called "fashionable paranoia".
Asquerosilla y burda, como todo lo que hace Shintaro. También tiene una critiquilla a la alta sociedad y cómo pueden ser capaces de cometer todo tipo de crueldades. Ha sido interesante poder leer un manga tan exageradamente difícil de encontrar, aunque a título personal crea que el verdadero rey del eroguro es Suehiro Maruo. Si os interesa este género, diría que le deis una oportunidad.
Hum... La verdad que para ser un tomo de Kago me encontré con menos escatología, deformidades y faltas de tránsito de las que me esperaba. Pero aun así la bizarreada general, ridiculeces en particular y ese típico olorcito a Kago siguen ahí, para deleite de mi dudoso paladar estético. ¡Quiero más!
Cant believe I am giving a Kago piece such a low rank. It just wasn't anything special. Seemed more disjointed than usual and not in a good way. Like it was kind of randomly generated out of leftover ideas from other comics. The whole thing takes place in feudal Japan so its a nice setting. And it has the usual over the top body horror and humorous eroticism of a Kago comic. And each chapter sort of takes a different premise and carries to a totally bizarre extreme. But its just not as provocative, funny, or interesting as the rest of his body of work.
