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.

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.

Champion 1984-93, 21 volumes @ Y390.
Another violence/sci-fi/fantasy manga from the Kikuchi/Hosoma team.
Same old story with slighty different characters.
