About the author
Toshio Maeda
68 books18 followersA controversial erotic manga artist who was most prolific in the 1980s and 90s. Several of Maeda's works have been used as a basis for Original Video Animations including the well known La Blue Girl, Adventure Kid, Demon Beast Invasion, Demon Warrior Koji and his most famous work, Urotsukidōji (Legend of the Overfiend). One interviewer commented that Urotsukidōji "firmly placed him in the history books - in Japan and abroad - as the pioneer of the genre known as hentai, or perverted".
Maeda is proud of his role in popularizing the genre and in a blog interview stated that he would like "Tentacle Master" inscribed on his tombstone.

Better than the first volume, but that isn't saying much. It isn't shocking. It's barely even interesting. At least I was invested in the story a bit more this time around.

Black and white adult graphic novel. "Erotic Grotesque" style Japanese Manga. (Labeled: "Graphic Novel/Erotic/Horror/Manga"; "ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR CHILDREN").
Apparently the concluding volume in the series. The alien invasion continues in Japan. Kayo has transferred to another college, but the alien invaders follow her.
Still a strange series, but oddly enough, this book is much better than its predecessor. The book begins strongly, starts to fade, but mostly has few bad chapters. Series continues to involve lots of alien monster rape of women, transformation of humans, violence and sex. Be warned, the Japanese anime/manga style tends to suddenly inject she-males into the mix. Because of the nature of the aliens, there are occasions when those types of scenes are mimic'd. No actual she-males are involved in this series (as far as I know), but there are scenes where that fact might be hard to remember (because of alien tentacles).
The series is still hindered by being in black and white. Despite that hindrance, the characters are well drawn, and mostly attractive. Still overall, the book is still rather violent, strange and falls a little too far into that "erotic grotesque" category.
