30 Kikuchi Hideyuki $@5FCO=(9T(B

Kikuchi is a novelist, not a manga artist. But he sometimes writes stories for
manga, and several manga and anime have been based on his novels. Actually, he
is one of two most famous novelists of the horror/action (sex/violence) genre.
Unfortunately, for those who cannot read Japanese, his best works are among the
ones which are available only as novels. <Shinjuku> seems to be his favorite
setting.

------------------------
Novels

Yoju Toshi $BME2x=CET;T(B [lit. Supernatural Beast City] - 3 volumes.
The OVA only dealt with the first volume. (The baby of Makie and Taki
was born in the third volume.) There is also a Hong Kong live-action
movie.

Demonic War in New York - 2 volumes. Sequel to Yoju Toshi.

Makai Toshi <Shinjuku>

Manga

Makai Toshi Hunter $@Kb3&ET;T%O%s%?!<(B - drawn by Hosoma Shinichi
$@:YGO?.0l(B, serialized on Shonen Champion 1984-9, 17 volumes @ Y380.
Loosely based on the novel Makai Toshi <Shinjuku>. It had many
interesting characters and fascinating ideas in the beginning but its
ending was really lame. Hosoma Shinichi's art was adequate, but not
spectacular. Recommended if you're interested in a nonsensical
violence/fantasy/sci-fi mixture.

Makai Gakuen $@Kb3&3X1`(B art by Hosoma Shinichi, - serialized on Shonen
Champion 1984-93, 21 volumes @ Y390.
Another violence/sci-fi/fantasy manga from the Kikuchi/Hosoma team.
Same old story with slighty different characters.

Majin Gakuen $@Kb?@3X1`(B 9 volumes @ Y390.

Sonorama, Y880.

Dark Side Blues $@%@!<%/%5%$%I%V%k!<%9(B - published by Akita Shoten, 2
volumes @ Y1240.

Mokushiroku Senshi $@L[<(O?@o;N(B - art by Hosoma Shinichi, serialized
on Shonen Captain, 1993, Y390.

Jashin Sensen Restorer Boy $B!{?@@o@~%j%9%H%i!&%\!=%$(B - serialized on
