Cquote1
"Basically, it’s a question of how many variations of stories I can come up with that revolve around shit and sex."
Shintaro Kago, Vice Magazine
Cquote2


Shintaro Kago (b- 1969) is a Japanese manga artist. While his works fall under the Guro genre, they are far less sexualized than that of his contemporaries, instead focusing on screwing with the heads of the readership.
