Anyway, I really disliked Tokyo Akazukin, it was trying be very violent and "dark" but in the end it just came off as immature and pointless. Just cause something has blood and tits doesn't mean it's good.
I second that. It really felt like a worthless read.
I'm sure a lot of people won't agree with this, but I hate almost everything done by Shintaro Kago. His stuff isn't scary and is rarely interesting in any sort of way, yet I've constantly seen it posted and/or mentioned on sites devoted to horror and the paranormal. I'm all for talking about mangaka besides Junji Ito (he's great, but he's not the only horror mangaka!), but Kago's stuff should only be read for shock value, and even then, the shock comes from knowing that people like his work.
The art is terrible, the sex is just bad, and there's a lot of nauseating things done solely to put off the reader. It's not even good as gore. That describes over 90% of his stuff. I will admit that some of his stories are interesting and can give you a decent mindfuck, but most of them just make you wish you'd spent your time reading something else.
