I think that my copy of Comic Beam is hopefully on a ship heading toward the port of Oakland right now :)<br /><br />That's funny you mention Yume no q-Saku-- I was just re-reading it yesterday afternoon and saw that story! The caterpillar dude in that story is so much more grotesque and bloated and horrible... and the ending is obviously a bit different :)<br /><br />Maruo's had Rampo on the brain forever, so glad he can finally do it up properly. I wonder how the Panorama Island and Caterpillar projects got started? Who contacted who, etc?Ryan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212185086058139671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-78973517805040767512009-06-15T08:08:04.981-07:002009-06-15T08:08:04.981-07:00next chapter was deeep.

@azr...@baka: Are you going to keep the horrorbaby?<br /><br />@azraelito: I really like this style and setup he has matured into. I'd love if he keeps on like this with the Maruo estate!<br /><br />@Paperdoll: Happy to be of service... I just saw that the "Rampo Reader" was released at the end of 2008? It features previously unavailable (in English) stories and critical essays. <br /><br />Which is your favorite Rampo short story or novel? Which would you want to see Maruo tackle next? :)<br /><br />@monika: Oh nice, lucky you! I'm getting it through Kinokuniya in SF, so it has to come over on the boat. I think it should be hear for me like July 9 or something...?<br /><br />I wonder how many chapters this one will run?Ryan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212185086058139671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-7727858611750817362009-06-11T22:44:24.773-07:002009-06-11T22:44:24.773-07:00i finally bought and read this yesterday! so great...i finally bought and read this yesterday! so great, since the new issue comes out today. no need to wait for the next chapter!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091675335744902080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-31100323458760138502009-06-10T07:21:06.023-07:002009-06-10T07:21:06.023-07:00I always loved that particular story... having rea...I always loved that particular story... having read the book (with other stories) ever since I was a kid.

I won't be hosting or scanning raws here-- and I will say that I strongly hope that folks don't scanlate the new Maruo projects.

I mean, he's always been impressive but his recent works (ie. this and Panorama Island)are beyond great.<br />Someone NEEDS to licence these for release in English speaking countries... come on, seriously now!<br />(obviously this title won't get an English release anytime soon, what with it only just having begun serialisation in Japan, but what's with no one jumping on Panorama Island?!?)jimpachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497526386105933802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-53598928443139561542009-06-09T15:10:28.525-07:002009-06-09T15:10:28.525-07:00I really enjoyed this story.
