Oh, I completley agree, there was so much I didn't understand about the movie. The manga made a lot more sence.
Oh, another author I would recomend is Suehiro Maruo. He draw's guro manga, and his art is really detailed and attractive (even though the subject matter is really desturbing). He has too manga published in english "Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show," and "Ultra Gash Inferno." he also has a short story called "Planet of the Jap" that is published in english in a book called "Underground Comics Japan."
His work is hard to get ahold of. You can get them on amazon but they are expencive. There are places that you can find scanlations, but they arent that easy to find. If you can read Japanese, then the Japanese editions are pretty easy to get a hold of.
