The Collection by Shintaro Kago
As a special treat for everybody waiting for Dance Kremlin Palace to finish, Anonymous K and I took a break to clear our heads of all the Russian gunk and get down to the bread and butter of Kagomania.
The Collection is a fucked-up story of one girl’s obsession with a dude. She collects everything he touches… EVERYTHING. Very NSFW, NSIFOYGF, and NSIFOYMAD (try to figure out those last two!).
Also, Same Hat! has some brilliant reportage on Kago’s most recent trip outside his apartment. Check out pictures and awesome toys here.

Nice work guys, as usual! This one was really gnarly and made my skin scrawl, like a Komatsu short story or Guts by Chuck Pahlunhiak.
Haha, I know that acronym!
NSIFOYGF =
Not Safe In Front Of Your Girlfriend
my friend and I use a similar one
NSWYGFIA =
Not Safe When Your Girlfriend Is Around

Glad you liked it Ryan! We chose it because of its excessive gnarliness! 
Are you gonna talk about it in samehat?

hi! and thanks for the great scanlations! they meant a lot to me, since I got a chance to meet the master himself! check out my website for a pic with Shintaro Kago. He is simply the most soft-spoken and humble person I’ve ever met! I bought some of his experimental video shorts at his Comiket stall this year.

I just would like to thank you for your work on these hard to find gems! And a question;
This site seems to be abandoned, so are some of the series’, like Gataro man, one of the weirdest books out there. You are the only one scanlated 1 chapter of one book, are you planning to continue? I am sure a lost of us would be vert grateful!!
