Jiro Matsumoto's works? (9)

Does anyone know about Jiro Matsumoto? He is one of my favorite mangaka around. He's most well known for his manga FREESIA and the unflinching violent/sexual nature of his drawings.

I think my favorite work of his is his collection of short stories called KEEP ON VIBRATING. I don't know if his work has been licensed in the US yet but you can download a lot of his works at omanga.net. (n_n) Other manga of his include TROPICAL CITRON and UNCIVILIZED PLANET.

FREESIA is my favourite from him.

I liked what I've read of Uncivilized Planet, but I've yet to read his other stuff.

TROPICAL CITRON is amazing, although omanga has not scanned the other volumes yet. (-___-) I'm still waiting in anticipation.

FREESIA is really good, and UNCIVILIZED PLANET is breathtaking. How far are you into it, so far? I don't want to spoil anything if we discuss it. (><)

Cookie from UP was so...I don't even know the word for her. A cross between "I'd tap that" and "I want to dismember her."

Mugiko from TROPICAL CITRON is one crazy bitch. xD

UNCIVILIZED PLANET is my favourite of his. Probably in my personal top 10, but I had a hard time getting through KEEP ON VIBRATING. Don't know why. I think after a while the sexual nonsense gets repetative for me. Anyone else have this problem?

No, I can't say I have that problem. Like the violence in Go Nagai's works, it just seems to be something that one expects when reading Jiro Matsumoto.
I loved KEEP ON VIBRATING. The ending page of SANPOL AND KREZOL from it was absolutely stunning. And, no one can deny that SANPOL and KREZOL aren't cute. (^^)
