Is there any Samura Hiroaki's art work that has pleasant images and messages rather than brutality? Eli Graham Hi Yonghow,

I noticed that the images are all suffering girls. Is there any Samura Hiroaki’s art work that has pleasant images and messages rather than brutality?

Do you know if thats correct?And if it is,is there any way you would be able to help a fellow art bibliophile in the UK to obtain a copy?

Not too sure I'd buy this one, more because of the laws here in NZ, but if its anything like 'Bitch's Life' or Katsuya Terada's 'Rakugaking' then I think it's safe to say this won't bother me too much, even if the subject matter is women in not so appealling situations (which is odd, cause I am vehemently child/woman violence.)

Was surprised and shocked flipping through the pages. I was like what the f**k did I buy?! As a girl some of those images really sends shivers down my spine! And they're all so detailed(hidden bodies in Hiroaki-sans closet?!)BUT I don't regret buying the art book. How disturbing it may be it's still very nice drawings, but nothing I would show my friends. This art book is "a kick in the crotch with something sharp" kinda pain! As a big fan of Hiroaki Samura’s art I bought this one without a second thought.

regular people are probably just as “twisted” as this guy. artists can just show their “twisted” nature far more vividly, which could cause the misinterpretation that they are more “twisted” than the average individual.
