House of Brutes (french translated edition) was awarded Sade Prize in France


My manga ‘House of Brutes’ french translated edition was awarded Prix Sade (Sade Prize) 2022 BD/Manga in France. Thank you, I’m honored, and happy to be able to get the first award for my adult oriented works!

Here are some photos from the award presentation ceremony, my editor of the french publisher Dynamite sent me.

‘House of Brutes’ was originally serialized on Badi magazine from 1999 to 2007, bi-monthly. The Japanese editions were published from Terra Publishing, the publisher of Badi magazine, from 2007 to 2008, in 3 volumes. These were very small publishing, so now out-of-prints all. Spanish translated edition (La Casa de los Herejes) were published from Cúpula from 2010 to 2011, and are still available. French translated edition’s volume 1 & 2 had been already published in 2021 and 2022, and volume 3 is coming soon. My french editor said they’ll make Sade Prize Awarded sticker and put it on the book. I wish that it will effect good for the sales of the book!

Wall Decoration Drawing for Pride House Tokyo 2019


Pride House Tokyo on Rugby World Cup season opened on September 20th at Harajuku in Tokyo. I collaborated in the drawing on wall with it.

Open from September 20th to November 4th 2019 at Community Space SubaCO in Harajuku, Tokyo. Very close to Meiji-jingumae Station of the Tokyo Metro subway.



Taking your photo with the wall and to share the image on your SNS account is welcome!

Anecdote.
When I was offered to draw illustration for the wall of Pride House Tokyo 2019, I first thought to draw the image what some figures of beefy guys are locked together. But when I started to do rough drawing of it, I thought that it was ‘too much gay’. I liked the homoerotic tastes of the sketch, but there were no LBTQ elements. It did not fit the concept of LGBTQ pride house, diversity.
So I threw away the first idea, and did another drawing what you see now. There are three men and three women on the drawing, but I didn’t fix each sexual orientations and gender identities. Also I avoid to specific there skin colors.
My messages about diversity and LGBTQ pride are all included in the colors of their uniforms. And other things, you can imagine anything about them what you want.
