Looking forward to this one. We are really getting off easy, Japan had to wait 10 years between books.

Holy crap!! MUST HAVE.

I genuinely thought there would never be a second one, that Terada tried it out and then said, "**** this, comics are hard."

Shame we gotta wait until May, but as mentioned we're not waiting so long as his Japanese fans had to.

The first one is an interesting adaptation, though a little disturbing in parts. I into it 'cause Terada is a hell of an illustrator, and he doesn't do sequential work that often.

I remember being so excited to read the first one and quite frankly, I was let down. Pretty nice art. I remember it being hard to follow sometimes though. Personally I'd stick to one of his artbooks if you like his art. But who knows, maybe the second time around he's gotten better?

Im starting to collect some of the books for Katsuya Terada

Does anyone have a complete list of whats out there?

[Johnny Blaque]

He doesn't have a TON of stuff out there, atleast not collected in it's own book. http://www.animebooks.com/teradakatsuya.html That is all his artbooks and http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=1741 has most of his comics work listed. His artbooks are amazing, Rakugaking is 1000 pages of doodles and sketches over 20 years and Zenbu is about all his professional work up to the point of publication and it's 500 pages. I own both of them along with the Ciclissimo book he did with Otomo and they are all great. I still look at them all the time.
