Shintaro Kago pushes manga (and illustration in general) into nightmarish new ground in his formally innovative and striking work. Exploring similar themes to Murakami and his Superflat artists, Shintaro unapologetically stretches the limits of aesthetic, as well as moral, sensibilities in his efforts to represent contemporary Japanese culture. Unique works are available at his website for a great price–get in before he gets big.
