Rape scenes and mutilations, etc. <BR/><BR/>(unofficially) I've heard that they are doing another Umezu book after Cat-Eyed Boy, but it is a pretty tame one. I actually was surprised by how weird and <I>yokai</I>-centric it was. But yeah, it's not Baptism or Fourteen. <BR/><BR/>@myrto: Maruo is an interesting dude. He looks like a mix between cyberpunk and wong kar-wai's fallen angels. pretty cool dude. I want to find some pictures of Umezu when he was my age :)<BR/><BR/>@gizmogal: Thanks! Glad you got your issue of Vice safely :)Ryan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212185086058139671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-77864787630757807292008-05-13T06:24:00.000-07:002008-05-13T06:24:00.000-07:00Nice find, and cute pic!Oh, I got my copy of Vice;...Nice find, and cute pic!<BR/><BR/>Oh, I got my copy of Vice; thanks SO much!
