| I have been trying to compile a list of all of Otomo's manga pieces including his earlier works--as well as copies of them. Despite the popularity of Akira and Steamboy, all of his manga (with the exception of Akira) has stayed in the underground scene. My main source of information is this forum as well as surfing the web. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=98170 Another good source is Helkorn's manga list where he leaves notes because he owns a few copies. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/MyManga/?user=HellKorn I am mostly keeping track of the publications of them rather then just the title name. So far here is my list: Memories of Her SOS Tokyo Metro Explorer Akira Domu Sayonara Japan Short Peace Highway Star The Legend of Mother Sarah Sayonara Japan Hipira Goodweather Boogie Woogie Waltz Hansel and Gretel Mega-May War (written by Alejandro Jodorowsky) So if anyone has anything else to add to this list, say so. Also use this to add good places to buy copies of them since they all are very rare (I luckily have all of Akira and my local library has Domu). I would prefer that you do not put up places to read them online or download (but you can). Here are some of the shorter stories (though I don't know what publication they were in): Sound of Sand Hair Electric Bird Land Minor Swing That's (sic) Amazing World, Parts: I-IV Memories Flower Farewell to Weapons Chronicle of Planet Tako, Part I and II Fireball Round about Midnight Nothing Will Be As It Was Okasu (Rape) Hakugei (white whale) - Hansel and Gretel |

| "In the Beginning, the creative energy radiates from within." - No, no. That's Lame. Sounds like something out of a Jodorowsky comic. The Tokusyu Manga Club - Features alternative comics/avant-garde comics/outsider comics/psychdelic comics/surrealistic comics/underground comics + La Nouvelle Manga (part of Alternative). If I'm here, its because I have nothing better to do. |
| Otomo has recently released two works you don't have on the list; "Park", a short coloured story featured in a magazine that had a supplementary mini-mag on Katsuhiro Otomo. It also included some photos of his studio, a history of his works, and an interview with him about directing the Mushishi live-action film. http://halcyonrealms.com/animation/who-is-katsuhiro-otomo/ "Viva Il Ciclissmo!", a collection of photos, journals, sketches and drawings from a major cycling tournament Otomo and fellow mangaka Katsuya Terada visited and followed. http://halcyonrealms.com/illustration/katsuhiro-otomo-katsuya-terada-viva-il-ciclissimo/ |
