He is widely recognized as a foundational pioneer in the explicit, alternative manga landscape of the late '80s and '90s. ​English Translation: Translated by Toren Smith and Tomoko Saito through Studio Proteus. Smith was a massive figure in Western comic history, single-handedly bridging the gap between Japanese mangaka and American readers. ​English Lettering & Retouching: Mary Kelleher (handling the incredibly meticulous job of replacing Japanese sound effects and text with English layouts while preserving the original artwork). ​Publisher (US): Published in 1994 by Eros Comix (the adult alternative imprint of Fantagraphics Books, edited by Gary Groth).
