About the author
Suehiro Maruo
54 books357 followersSuehiro Maruo ( 丸尾 末広) is a Japanese manga author and illustrator.
Maruo graduated from junior high school in March 1972 but dropped out of senior high school. At the age of 15 he moved to Tokyo and began working for a bookbinder. At 17, he made his first manga submission to Weekly Shōnen Jump, but it was considered by the editors to be too graphic for the magazine's format and was subsequently rejected. Maruo temporarily removed himself from manga until November 1980 when he made his official debut as a manga artist in Ribon no Kishi (リボンの騎士) at the age of 24. It was at this stage that the young artist was finally able to pursue his artistic vision without such stringent restrictions over the visual content of his work. Two years later, his first stand-alone anthology, Barairo no Kaibutsu (薔薇色の怪物; Rose Colored Monster) was published.
Maruo was a frequent contributor to the legendary underground manga magazine Garo (ガロ).
Like many manga artists, Maruo sometimes makes cameo appearances in his own stories. When photographed, he seldom appears without his trademark sunglasses.
Though most prominently known for his work as a manga artist, Maruo has also produced illustrations for concert posters, CD Jackets, magazines, novels, and various other media. Some of his characters have been made into figures as well.
Though relatively few of Maruo's manga have been published outside of Japan, his work enjoys a cult following abroad.
His book Shōjo Tsubaki (aka Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show) has been adapted into an animated film (Midori) by Hiroshi Harada with a soundtrack by J.A. Seazer, but it has received very little release.

Ce recueil explore l'influence d'Edogawa Rampo dans l'oeuvre de Maruo et compile ses travaux dans differents médiums; couvertures de livres, affiches de films, CDs et etc.
Aussi ici l'adaptation du conte de Rampo du 'Nain qui danse'.
Le style visuel aux couleurs vives et parsemé de sang et violence de l'outre-tombe, joue avec cette incongruité si propre à l'ero-guro qui mélange sexualité déviante et horreur funeste.
Impossible de rester indifferent à Maruo, beauté et horreur ne se sont jamais autant bien rencontrées.

I bought this book in Tokyo - that was a combination of bar and bookstore. So that alone was great, but I have been a long time fan of Maruo Suehiro's artwork/illustrations/writing. He specializes in an era of Tokyo life that took place pre-war - but with the effects of that war as well. This catalog (I suspect it is, it's in Japanese) is works focusing on and inspired by the great Japanese mystery/horror writer Edogawa Rampo (sometimes spelled in English as Ranpo). Two artist/figures that are so closed together aesthetically speaking, it is remarkable that both are not more famous in the west. Suehiro did a book length manga version of Rampo's "Tales from Panorama Island" that is magnificent. He captures the decadence and mood of the novel, or perhaps the mood is already set in Suehiro's DNA.
His work is very comic book orientated, and lurks in the illustrated past of the 1930s style. Realistic drawings but matched with the horror vision of this master. What this book is not the complete manga, but more of an excerpt as well as beautiful reproductions of his work - with respect to Panorama Island as well as to other Rampo works. Essential book to own, especially if you have an interest in Japanese pop culture before World War 2.

There I was, at the Village Vanguard in 下北沢, in the エログロ section debating whether or not to haul back the ENTIRE collection of 丸尾末広. Reason prevailed and I left with this amazing collection of illustrations inspired by stories written by 江戸川乱歩. Maruo's drawings are shocking and provocative, exploring the feeling of unease evoked by the grotesque - tawdry circus freak shows, occidental monsters (Dracula and the Medusa), bloody body parts - and extreme nationalistic fervor, using a mix-and-match of artistic styles that somehow gel nicely together. The surrealistically whimsical La Grande Odalisque Japonaise print on page 7 is lovely.

Maruo's craftmenship is undeniable. Shockingly he illustrates every detail singlehandedly and that makes him more insane than his work. His volume of work is intense and beautiful, he truly understands the genre of horror and grotesque, and leaves the reader shivering with uneasiness and craving for more.
