Alex than you so much for the info, that is amazing. No wonder volume 4 had difficulty with all the previous legal action. It’s a shame about the corrupted file. Even the first 3 volumes taken together are a monumental work. But volume 4 seemed a lot more tell all. The disembowelment story still has me shook.
Did your editing work for the Japansoft book show up anything that sounds familiar wrt a junji ito pinball machine, or about the story above?
