[Offtopic] works by Oh!Great

Post by hebretto »

I'm in the process of collecting all of Oh! Great's works but his stuff seems to be everywhere (I had about the same trouble when trying to collect Joe Madureira's works). Basically could someone update my list so then in future if anyone else is interested they could check this also. I've included the ISBNs (when possible) for easy reference

Thanks

<b>Himiko-Den</b> (one shot)
ISBN : 4-04-926137-5

<b>Majin Devil</b> vol 1, 2
ISBN 1 : 4-06-334419-3
ISBN 2 :

<b>Air Gear</b> vol 1 - 5
ISBN 1 : 4-06-363242-3
ISBN 2 : 4-06-363266-0
ISBN 3 : 4-06-363303-9
ISBN 4 : 4-06-363325-X
ISBN 5 :

<b>Tenjo Tenge</b> vol 1 - 11
ISBNs : check HERE

<b>Burn-Up Excess & W</b> (one shot)
ISBN : 4-19-830178-6

<b>Comickers Manga Start-Up Guide 'Pen & Ink'</b> ("how to" book)
ISBN : 4568502128

<b>Oh! Great Sensei - Artworks Collection</b> (book of illustrations)
ISBN : 499900626X

I am not too familiar with Oh! Great's hentai works but I have found a number of items of interest at Manga no Mori however since I cannot read the characters I cannot go beyond that. There appears to be two versions of the 3 available works (I know of Junk Story and 5-Five) but one is priced 1050 yen and the other 3150 yen. I can only presume that the latter might be a TPB of some sort but I am not very sure. I hope that others might be able to improve this list in the near future

I wrote that I had all his manga, not all his works. ie I don't have all illustrations, nor magazine articles/interviews, related goods (posters, telephone cards, trading cards, bag, T-shirt, fans, mousepads, stickers etc) by Oh! great. I'm working hard to collect all, though :P

Nor do I have all the adaptations of his manga (eg anime, digital manga with voice) nor every version of his manga (sometimes the serialised version of the manga differs from the tankoubon version).

Five volumes have been released. The sixth is scheduled to be released in June IIRC.
<b>Comickers Manga Start-Up Guide 'Pen & Ink'</b> (one shot)
This is not a manga or book by Oh! great. It's a "how to" book that includes an article by him.
<b>Oh! Great Sensei - Artworks Collection</b> (one shot)
As title suggests, not a manga, just illustrations. See the other threads on this item. There are various lithographs which are available for purchase (usually about 25,000 yen).
I am not too familiar with Oh! Great's hentai works but I have found a number of items of interest at Manga no Mori however since I cannot read the characters I cannot go beyond that.

The more expensive version is just a deluxe edition available only from Manga no Mori. Contents are essentially the same as the regular edition but each deluxe edition comes with a telephone card. Sorry, I'm working off the top of my head - too busy to check details or provide ISBNs. BTW, the third volume is titled "Engine Room" IIRC.

Other manga:

G^3 (hentai doujinshi containing manga as well as various illustrations and articles)

G^3 volume 2 (hentai doujinshi containing manga etc)

Westside Street (one shot appearing in Shonen Ace, reproduced in G^3 volume 2)

A+ (A Plus) (one shot appearing in Shonen Magazine)

S - song of sapphire star - (one shot appearing in the anthology comic "Ultrajump Megamix volume 1")

oneself (hentai one shot appearing in the hentai anthology comic "Zero-shiki Collection 1")

hane (hentai one shot appearing in the hentai anthology comic "Zero-shiki Collection 2")

Finally, this issue of Oh! great's works has come up in this forum before. I suggest you check past threads to see if I missed anything.

People here keep saying h-doujinshi, but I always thought (and am quite sure ) that doujinshi are just fanmade art and since Oh Great! makes his own stories, they're h-manga, not h-doujinshi, right ?

That depends on how you define the term...

If we are going to do it by the politically correct term... a Doujinshi is a fanmade art (Even if it is made BY the author himsef) of a given title that does not correlate with the OFFICIAL publication with the work itself. If a work is published by the company that sponsers a given title, then that 'work' may no longer be doujin, but if it is sponsered by a third party (usually a small publisher) and listed as something along the lines of 'fan book', then it is, a doujin.

For example, sometimes in Doujin, the character names, though you know who they are, may sometimes have different characters that represent the otherwise similiar prouncination. Although that is clearly not practiced often.

Another example...

The author who does Hellsing actually makes his own doujin about his own work. But they are nonetheless published as doujins, and they are published via third party not related with the official publication of his original work. Though of course, I thought his H manga was just plain scary and wrong... I mean, the style of hellsing and porn... ugh

A bit of politics here.

I've seen bits and pieces of Hellsing, it seems like a sick thingie would be the result of mixing it with hentai :shock:

Anyway, doujin aren't always hentai either ... though every time you search doujin you get dropped off at nothing but hentai sites ...

"I've seen bits and pieces of Hellsing"

Make no mistake, hellsing KICKS ass, is just that when his style is applied to anything BUT, it looks wrong (Especially as Hentai).

"it seems like a sick thingie would be the result of mixing it with hentai"

Trust me, I seen worse. The doujins I imported from Japan that I sold had enough materials that'd make you go "..."

"Anyway, doujin aren't always hentai either ... though every time you search doujin you get dropped off at nothing but hentai sites ..."

Which is amazing, some doujin has artwork better than the original...

Actually, I wouldn't mind that... recent Naruto art published on the weekly has been suffering, probably due to the lack of genki drinks...

I don't see how the art has been suffering, it looks as great as always. Now the art in HxH has been suffering, but thats because the manga artist work on the manga himself with no assistance. He really needs some assistance though...

Well, did you know that certain issues of Hellsing was also made without assistance?

But the artwork remain superb. It solely depends on how much effort the artist will input in order to make his/her art better.

There are a number of Tenjou Tenge doujinshi. Most circles will draw in their own styles (ie won't really try to make their art identical to the original manga), though I've seen one or two try to imitate Oh! great's style (none are as good, though).

Well, someone mentioned, there are indeed two OH GREAT works known as 'FIVE' and 'JUNK-STORY'

It is basically all the stories in Silky Whip & Silky Whip EXTREME combined and some new ones. I don't think Silky Whip was ever released as such except in the United States, where comic books come out in 'zines' and not 'books'. A rather sad tactic for ripping off customers.

Hell, I don't even know why it is named Sikly Whip.

I don't think 'FIVE' or 'Junk Story' were ever released here, but I do have them if anyone is interested in downloading.

And yes, they are very HENTAI indeed.

hellsing? whats up with that guy?
only know the anime, the manga isnt out in germany yet...

as for silky whip, it came out in europe, but censored (having sex with a dog might offend some people in germany i guess).
i wonder anyway.
speaking of hellsing, they censored the hakenkreuz with windowcross, now having a box around the cross, and the nazis became freimaurer...
in tenjo tenge it wasnt censored, but one picture in volume 7 i think, showing shins eyeband with a metal cross on it has been overdrawn with a butterfly from the beginning of the same issue.

back to silky whip.

junk story and five are the undernames to silky whip, at least here.

as for me, i got with tenjo tenge, majin devil 1+2 and himiko den the manga, and the anime (character designs by oogure ito) so it does make me feel happy having soem of his work.
cant get my hands on that artbook yet (tough it should be out in german already) and silky whip is not available anymore, maybe on e-bay. and about that censored pages... ill simply put them back in i guess...
Till tomorow is a better day to be,
you

Yup, ebay is always selling English doujinshi. It's technically illegal, but hell they sell fan subbed anime on ebay too (anyone seen the Tenjo Tenge ep1 - 5 VCD listing :roll: ). I just checked out Silky whip because I was curious about the whole Maya like character in the Peter pan story. I saw the similarities, I would have liked it if it had not been for her get GBed DPed :( . Unless you like DP, GB, Beastility, and scenes that make Chiaki scene look pretty tame, I would adivse approach @ your own risk. (I can't look @ Maya the same anymore :cry: ).

"hellsing? whats up with that guy?"

I honestly think he is one of the coolest artist ever :D You've gotta appreciate the vampire, the guy is an ASSHOLE, and take pride being one!

"speaking of hellsing, they censored the hakenkreuz with windowcross, now having a box around the cross, and the nazis became freimaurer..."

I don't quite get that law, if ever. Its one of those things that people knew about it, can't forget it, but try to no matter what. Heh. Fortunately, politics is among one of many things not censored in Japan, you'd see guys dressed up in Waffen-SS uniforms every once in a while, especially in Shoujo Manga, heh.

"in tenjo tenge it wasnt censored, but one picture in volume 7 i think, showing shins eyeband with a metal cross on it has been overdrawn with a butterfly from the beginning of the same issue."

Oh come on, they even have a problem with the Buddist version of the Hakenkreuz? Thats not right. . .

I'm not sure about "five," as it has been a while since I've thumbed through my old hentai collection (I'm not even sure I still have that box), but I think Junk Story was released in the US. Eros Comics got the rights to release an English translation of most of Oh Great's naughtier stuff from that time period and released them as Silky Whip and Silky Whip Extreme. See http://www.eroscomix.com/ for their catalogue if this really interests you. Naturally, that is not a "work-safe" link.

If I understand correctly, the title of Silky Whip was chosen because a lot of the content had bondage/domination/submission overtones and the publishers thought that it would get an appropriate response from American readers. Note the silly names they put on releases from other artists. They threw everything together under one title because these were all short, unrelated works, and it isn't easy to get US distributors to pick up 15 different one or two-shot series. Note that these were released in the US before the big Manga boom that we're currently experiencing (there wasn't a Manga section at your local Waldenbooks at the time).

As for the 'zine format, again that is a function of the times. The US comics industry has revolved around the small magazine format since the 1920s. The format was intended to facilitate monthly releases of a serial for sale at newstands alongside the Times, People, and Newsweek. "Graphic Novels" and "TPBs" were fairly uncommon, and were seen as a tool to get new readers of a longstanding title (such as X-Men or Superman) to shell out money for older story arcs. It was much easier to get a specialty store to shelve monthly releases of US-style magazines at $3.00 a pop than to get them to shelve $10.00-$15.00 books of unknown titles. This was common practice up until the last couple of years when folks like Tokyo Pop struck distribution deals with bookstore chains to sell comics-as-books instead of comics-as-magazines.

When I first started reading those old first-generation Studio Proteus releases (Venus Wars comes to mind here), no TPB (tankoban, graphic novel, whatever you want to call it) versions were available at all. That just wasn't how comics were sold on this side of the Pacific.

It's an evolving industry. Who knows, maybe some day Marvel and DC Comics will start putting their most popular titles (Superman, Batman, Spiderman, X-men, Wonder Woman-man, Whateverman) into weekly compilations. Already we're seeing Shonen Jump translated as-is into English.
